Streetwise Softail
IT DOESN’T TAKE A MOTORCYCLE EXPERT TO KNOW Harley-Davidson’s famous cruisers are born of full-blooded American two-wheeler culture. The brand doesn’t particularly shy away from its American lineage either. They are quite partial to using eagles and the Stars and Stripes motif sprinkled across their model range, in case you were ever in doubt. It shouldn’t come as a surprise, then, that when Harley were looking to create a more premium S model for their Low Rider Softail, they drew inspiration from the motherland, California in particular. From Easy Rider to Sons of Anarchy and Orange County Choppers, pop culture is riddled with examples of just how mad motorcycling is in the sunny West Coast state and the Low Rider S draws on certain elements of this sub-culture for its design.
