You have to give Harley-Davidson credit, they make an incredible touring motorcycle!

Huge leaps forward (FINALLY!!!) for HD. I think the pressure from Indian-Polaris is paying off for everyone. Plus the price point is exciting. I'll probably look at the 2025 or 2026 models in the future when I buy a forever bike, right now I'm tossing around my 04 Fatboy and will continue to do so for a few more years. I've ridden my buddies Electra Glide (same fairing style as the Street Glide) and I've test ridden another buddies older Road Glide ST and I have to say I really enjoy the RG fairing, steering is a LOT lighter. Wind also doesn't hit quite as hard with the RGs fairing. 80 MPH on the highway on the RG vs the SG, pretty big difference in my opinion. I felt more with the SG.

I also became a huge fan of the heel shifter on my Fatboy but it took some time to get used to, now instead of scuffing up my boots I just tap the heel, and for me finding neutral seems a lot easier with the heel for some reason.

Your reaction was exactly how I felt 15yrs ago when I finally ate crow, and tried out a street glide of my buddies for the first time.. I was a die hard sport bike buy that went from a cbr600rr to a cbr1000rr, to a zx14r... Then in 2010 I finally rode a Harley, and found out why they are so beloved by so many.. They are perfect for regular/daily riding.. The hard hitting torque of the vtwin, the insane sound, comfortability allowing hours of riding, and they are so easily customizable to your liking.. I bought one within 30days of riding his bike and haven't looked back.. I still have the zx14r, but in almost 15yrs, I have only put 4k miles on it, since buying my 1st Harley...

Thank you for doing Harleys more often, i know there is so many new riders that actually appreciate this

[echo]

Love watching you fall in love with Harley. Welcome!

[troyer]

You should do a Spyder F-3S not the touring model! I thought my ridding days were over after I had a bad stroke. My balance is almost gone. But the Spyder don’t require balance. Love mine, I’m back on the road!!! Wind therapy is real!!! That headlight is awesome.

My first taste of your channel was the one of you getting pulled over on your dream bike a while ago. Glad I found this channel, this is the first motorcycle channel I've found that I really wanna follow!

First Harley I have ever wanted and will be buying. Great review.

[harryhowell]

Ive been riding Harley baggers since 2017. At first the heel shifter was weird. Once you get used to that and heated grips, its a must have. Love the new design. I have a 21 road glide limited, and love it.😮

[Gixxer]

Just bought the road glide this week, love this bike! Great video!!

[pagrone]

Greetings from France! Thank you so much for this first ride video. Love it! One of the best I have seen so far! I purchased a Fat Boy 2023 a year ago and I was planning on keeping it for at least two years... until I showed up at the Harley dealership for a test ride of this superb Road Glide 2024 this morning. OMG! I had the exact same sensations as you describe in your video. It's a heavy bike but you don't feel it and it's so fun and so easy to ride. As much as I like the Fat Boy, I am just about to resell it to purchase this Road Gilde... in Sharkskin Blue! Long live Harley Davidson!

The way people shit on HDs youd think they werent making great bikes. They may not be for everyone and expensive af, but they certainly arent anything close to bad bikes.

[mcnuggetapple]

This is how a review should be, it’s convincing me to want one lol

[zachariahcedar]

I own the whiskey fire 24. I've upgraded it to stage 2. I recently took it out to the twisties, and she handled it like a charm. I scratched my pipes some, but that's what high temp paint is for 😂.

[joshorness]

Its funny my 2021 Street Glide Special feels the exact same way... welcome to riding a Harley Davidson.... nothing else compares to it!!

[FRWD_FXLRST]

Honestly from an oem starting point, it looks really good in rolling shots.

[FloridaBoilermaker]

Sup, welcome to the dark side. Hope you stay for a minute

[SoTiredButWired]

It actually does have Brembo brakes and has had them for years. They're just not branded Brembo. Nice to hear about the heat coming off the engine. Most reviewers act like with the change to water-cooled heads there's suddenly no heat coming up off the engine and onto the rider, anymore.
