Our take on this /// Verdict

The Harley-Davidson SuperLow is a unique offering in the cruiser segment, particularly tailored for shorter riders and those new to the world of motorcycles. While it may not be the perfect fit for taller riders due to its compact design and lower seat height of 663mm, it excels in providing a comfortable and manageable riding experience. The bikes lightweight nature, at around 260kg, and its smooth-revving 883cc V-twin engine make it highly maneuverable and easy to handle, especially in urban settings. The addition of ABS and a remote key fob with keyless ignition adds a layer of convenience and safety. However, the bikes ergonomics can be a bit cramped for taller riders, and the lack of a fuel gauge is a notable omission. Despite these limitations, the SuperLow remains a stylish and fun ride, ideal for those seeking a more accessible Harley-Davidson experience.
