Harley-davidson Low Rider El Diablo Review

Used Buyer Review

The Low Rider El Diablo is essentially a factory custom — Harley took the standard Low Rider S platform and dressed it up with blacked-out everything, a 117ci Milwaukee-Eight, and some genuinely aggressive ergonomics. It's a looker, no question, but buy one used and you need to check a few things hard. These bikes attract the type of owner who modifies first and thinks second, so inspect the exhaust, air cleaner, and ECU tune carefully. Sloppy aftermarket work can turn that torquey V-twin into a nightmare. On the road it's genuinely impressive — low center of gravity, that 117 punches hard from idle, and the suspension is stiffer than most Harleys which actually helps in corners. Highway miles suit it best. Used examples have been sitting in garages looking pretty more than being ridden, which isn't terrible for condition but means tires and fluids need immediate attention regardless of mileage.
