Great video but, I think you missed something! You said you would go over the street and what it’s niche is..but I did not catch what that niche is!

If this video is a true indication of how you guys conduct business, then HD needs to hire you as a dealer/sales trainer. It boggles my mind, how clueless a lot of HD salesman are with their inventory, customer needs and just making a sale. Great video!!!!

My man just educated me more than the harvard did!

[jamessouthworth]

The right one for me was the one with no payments and fully serviceable at home.

That's one of the most useful induction training sessions I've experienced in a while... As a biker of 30+ years and an L & D manager of 20 years.. Well done Matt indeed!

Harley would be much better off bringing their prices down significantly. Riders would be knocking their doors down.

[kennethreynolds]

Great advice Matt, if all dealers used your strategy it would be a great benefit to the motorcycle community in general. 👍👍👍

Let’s be honest though, nothing impacts decisions like price

This is an outstanding video! I rode dirt bikes growing up, and last year I randomly decided to take the MSF course. The day I completed it I went to Harley and bought a softail. It worked for me and did a ton of highway miles for about eight months. It gave me the experience of riding a motorcycle and common scenarios almost daily. I just recently switched to a road glide limited and it’s working out very well for me. I may have switched a little too quick but these salesmen in this video knew what they were talking about. Love it!

I was looking at a Low Rider. I ended up with a Sport Glide. It's amazing, it is so much more comfortable and insensitive wind than the lighter bikes I'm used to. It is very agile too.

Some salespeople really have no idea...I was told by one HD dealer that only those over 6 feet in height should own a RoadKing. WTAF? At 5'9" and been riding bikes since the 80's I bought my RoadKing from another dealer. A dealer that actually listened to what type of riding I was planning on doing. Thanks Matt for the excellent advice you present in this video.

[meteormotorcycle]

definitely right on with advice! As the former owner of an Ironhead Sportster, 05 Road King, numerous asian and german tourers and crotch rockets and standards, and now a 2017 Ultra Glide, I totally agree with your approach. Plus, the new softails are no longer "Great handling and riding Harleys", they now stand up to and in many cases surpass the best anyone has to offer in class. As for the budget, talk to other people who don't, and have never owned a harley, you see mostly a wistful far away look and hear "I always wanted one.." Get a bike you can be proud of, nothing is worth anything unless you sacrifice something! Great videos Matt, and good riding to everyone!

I am retired so I purchased my 2019 HD Tri-Glide Ultra, specifically for long distance trips. Everything that came with my trike, plus the added amenities I installed after make sense to me, thus making my rides both comfortable and fun.

My wife is 6'1"...so the trike made sense as well, as she is comfortable throughout the long distance rides. Enjoy whatever you choose to ride and be safe doing it!! 👊Respect 👊

I know I made a great decision years ago when I bought my '09 FXDL. I trained 2 days on a Honda 250 during my non-HD riding course (literally my only motorcycling experience up to that point) and went straight to the Low Rider without test-riding it. I thought I wanted a Sportster back then but had a friend talk sense to me as far as the riding I would be doing. It felt super heavy compared to the 250s and I was intimidated for sure, but my passion and intrinsic motivation muscled me through the learning curve. It feels light to me now (technique!) and meets most of my riding needs. It's a blast around town and is a beast on the highway as well. Thanks for mentioning saving money! I am a huge fan of delayed gratification, especially when you can remove debt/guilt from the equation. I don't plan on ever getting rid of my Bug Smasher, although this whole "Performance Bagger" genre has me thinking.... Great vid, as always man. Keep up the good work!

[ajpalomino]

I've spoke with this guy on the phone and he's about his business. Super friendly and knowledgeable

The salesmen at Gateway Harley in STL need to learn a few things from this video, especially the budget part. They need to respect someone's budget and not try to shove a CVO down my throat.

[hookahspot]

Good points, when I bought mine no one asked me shit, they just showed me the bikes and I took 5 of them for a ride. Walked out with 2019 883 got till may of 2020 to trade it in and get me a softail, you’ll get over the 883 within 4 weeks, bro you should be going around the US and talking to salesmen, Harley should hire you as a REP

[johnmurray]

I’m 15 and love watching Harley rides, looking to get one as soon as possible but from what I’m hearing is that the sportster is probably the best starter for me

[redced]

Great video. Reminds me of how I got my Harley. I went into the shop thinking about buying the Iron 883. I liked the budget and it seemed to fit my needs (riding through traffic). In the end, I bought the roadster even though it's more expensive. I tested it and I just loved it. The style for me.

[mattgrunenwald]

Well said! I started with a 2014 iron 883, moved on to a 2014 Street Bob, then a 2017 Street Glide, and finally (for now lmao) I own a 2019 Road Glide! Love all of them.
