Harley-Davidson has reigned champion in the world of sport touring bikes for decades and every year, the new bike releases add more and more benefits to an already great platform of bike. BUT. There is still a huge market for older bikes, and purists will be the first to tell you that 30+ year old bikes are better than anything you can buy off the showroom floor today.

So, we did the most logical thing and decided to put one of Harley’s most popular models up against the newest bikes you can buy today. A 1991 FXRT versus a 2025 Lowrider ST.

Technology has evolved but the same design motivation has stayed true. A playful bike with a lot of bite, ready for any road trip or cruise through town that actually looks good. But which bike is faster? Which one handles better? Which one holds it’s value better? Do you find an older bike on marketplace and rock a more “old-school” set up or do you head over to the dealership and pick up the brand new ride with warranty? We get into all that in this video so click play and learn some more about these two incredible bikes!

The FXR quickly became and has remained a favorite amount Harley riders worldwide.
