All You Need To Know About The Harley-Davidson FXSTS Springer Softail

Harley-Davidson® motorcycles have always been a popular choice among consumers, and for good reason. The iconic American motorcycle manufacturer was founded out of a small shed in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1903 by William S. Harley and his brothers Arthur and Walter Davidson. When Harley-Davidson produced and sold their first motorcycle, they were one of the many small motorcycle marques that were popping up across the country. Flash forward to more than a century later, and the Harley-Davidson brand has become rooted in American culture. Since the inception of the company, Harley-Davidson has produced hundreds of high-quality motorcycles. In this blog, we’ll look at Harley-Davidson FXSTS Springer Softail.

Harley-Davidson FXSTS Springer Softail  

Harley-Davidson reached all the way back to 1948 to find the inspiration for the Springer Softail motorcycle. When the Springer Softail first appeared over a decade ago, Harley let it be known that there was an extensive amount of CAD (computer-aided design) time needed to bring the dated front-end suspension concept up to modern performance standards. Dripping with a beautiful chrome finish, the Springer front end carries a thin 21-inch front wheel.

When you first hop on the Springer, one of the first things you’ll notice is the seat. It sits pretty low, just over 26 inches, and it is much wider than its profile will have you believe. Most importantly, it proves to be a comfortable ride within the 4.2-gallon tank range. From the seat, you’ll notice the gleaming chrome windings of the Springer fork, which are also mirrored on the back of the small, low-profile headlight nacelle. While the physical appearance of this motorcycle is impressive enough, you’ll be thrilled to discover how well this bike rides.

The front suspension of the Springer is extremely versatile. The fork action is surprisingly plush, and when combined with the wire-spoke and its 21-inch front wheel, this bike can ride through potholes relatively easily. As slower speeds, the front end can feel a bit wobbly, and you may sense the bike wanting to turn inward more than most other H-D models. When you take this motorcycle on the open road, you’ll find that it rides the best at a relaxed pace. Thanks to the buckhorn handlebar, this bike flaunts a chopper-esque identity on the road.
