Harley-Davidson Sportster S diperkenalkan pada tahun 2021 sebagai penemuan kembali lengkap dari garis keturunan Sportster yang ikonik, menggantikan model berbasis Evolution berpendingin udara dengan platform yang benar-benar modern. Motor ini ditenagai oleh mesin V-twin berpendingin cair Revolution Max 1250T, yang juga mendukung sepeda petualangan Pan America, menandai lompatan teknologi dramatis untuk papan nama. Model ini terkenal karena memposisikan ulang Sportster sebagai roadster yang berfokus pada kinerja daripada cruiser entry-level, menampilkan suspensi dan mode berkendara yang sepenuhnya dapat disesuaikan.

Apa yang Harus Diketahui Pembeli
Revolutionary Revolution Max Engine
The Sportster S is powered by Harley's liquid-cooled Revolution Max 1250T engine — a major departure from air-cooled Sportster tradition. This modern engine runs cooler and cleaner, making it more reliable in stop-and-go traffic and hot climates.
Watch for Software Glitches
Early model year (2021-2022) Sportster S bikes had reported ECU and ride-by-wire software issues causing rough idle or stalling. Always verify the bike has the latest dealer-installed firmware updates before purchasing.
Strong Resale Value
As Harley's flagship modern sportbike, the Sportster S holds its value notably well compared to competitors, often retaining 75-85% of MSRP in the first two years. Its limited production numbers and strong demand help protect your investment.

Ulasan Pembeli Bekas
"The most exciting Harley in decades, but buy one carefully."
$11,000-$14,500 usedThe Sportster S is genuinely one of the more interesting things Harley has done in years. That Revolution Max 1250 engine is the real deal — 121 horsepower sounds like marketing fluff until you actually twist the throttle and feel it pull hard past 6,000rpm. It doesn't ride like any Harley you've touched before. Used examples are appearing around the $11-14k mark now, and honestly that's when it starts making sense financially. Here's the honest part though: check the suspension setup carefully on any used example. The ergonomics are notoriously aggressive for a Harley — forward pegs, low bars — and tall riders genuinely struggle on longer rides. Previous owners often fitted aftermarket seats or risers, which is actually a green flag on used bikes. Also confirm the electronics haven't been tampered with; the ride-by-wire and cornering ABS are genuinely useful here. Battery issues cropped up on early 2021-2022 bikes, so ask for service history and check for the software updates. It's a polarising machine but an exciting one.
