    Bought the Hi-Fi Orange from my local dealer, wife wanted the Hi-Fi Magenta so we tracked one down in state about 150 miles from us and picked it up last weekend 3Jun 23
    Very nice!

    Harley nailed it on this one. I am old school and love the retro look. Modern power and reliability with old school looks.

    Most definitely a gorgeous motorcycle with the classic classy gentleman look to it. I simply love and i think Harley knocked it out of the ballpark with this one for sure.

    seen this bike when it came out and wish I had the money for it, the paint is amazing, I am new to Harley and bought a road-king 2004 , made those important upgrades and am happy, but if I could I would easily have that, she is pretty

    I have been saying for 50 years Harley has the seat in the wrong place on every bike except police models. To make more sales they make bikes for people four feet tall with arms seven feet long. Basically they lower all the seats to the wrong position to make it easy to touch your toes on the ground if you are a shrimp. Then they sell shrimps these huge machines and make big profits!
    This bike is proving I am correct in this conclusion. Every tester is raving abourt how you are "King of the Road" with a high seat that balances the bike properly under you. Hallelujah! Finally they see the light!

  • @jamesfrost7465

    I really like this bike. Between the red one or the orange one, I choose the orange. I love it. I have a Electra Glide and a Fatboy, I'm happy with what I have..... but....

    Something that the average, "modern day" rider doesn't understannd is that years ago, motorcycles had higher, more forward placed seats for a good reason...
    Being seated farther ahead of the rear axle and higher on the bike make it's center of gravity easier to handle.
    Short legged people will probably find this weird or impossible to get used to, but for people that are over about 5' 9", riding one that's set up like this is literally like driving a Corvette.
    As you mentioned, the police bikes are set up for maneuverability... And that happens to be the way that all big HDs were set up, well into the 1980s.
    The other benefit of riding a higher, more forward placed seat is that for us long-legged riders, since we're not sitting low in the saddle on our tailbone with our legs bent almost 90 degrees and our hips below our knees, there's a better chance of blood flow to work properly and riding 200 miles at a stretch isn't uncomfortable anymore.

    I believe they are a beautiful bike, but they are sitting on showroom floors because the price is ridiculous... it is a 20k bike maybe 22k tops....

    • @bobbert6770
      @bobbert6770 Год назад +2

      If it wasn't a collectible limited production model I would agree. It should come with a 7k discount

    • @northrider8628
      @northrider8628 Год назад +1

      @robertoherrera6770 it will come with a 7k discount, 2 sec after it rolls off the lot... 😉 collectors item 🤣🤣🤣 my 🍑 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 ok ok ok 👍 it is a collectors bike.

      For all you cry babies crying about the $$. Build your own bike already from scratch and make the same bike. Let's see your bike sell for the price you would want to sell at. The same price it cost to build at. You have less than a year to do it. Good luck 👍. Lol

    • @northrider8628
      @northrider8628 Год назад

      @slayer04031974 pay up or shut up right 😉 so you believe 30+k for a road king is a good price 👌 by me, but it's going to tank the company and that is a fact 😪😪😪 baby 👶 or not that SUCK...

      The price for a Roadking was 22Gs about 10 years ago. 26 isn’t that bad

  • @peterwilliamson4296
    @peterwilliamson4296 7 месяцев назад

    I love hearing how smooth the ride is since the seat is a big deal on this classic style hog. You could get higher bars and a 21 inch screen if you were taller I guess.

    The Road King is back! Also, it seems to me that inseam is more important than height.

    Had the Revival for about a year. LOVED the look of the bike. Also love the look of this one. But they're not very comfortable to ride. Changed to a SGS and the ride is much better.

    I know nothing about Harleys. I am 64 years old, living in Canada driving my GSXR 750 as fast as it will go, that's just me ....But....where is the back seat? ....is that part of the style of this bike ... " I ride along when on my King"? .... no girlie seat I notice. . . hmmmmm.

    Tolles Moped, aber die Preispolitik von Harley ist voll daneben. Dafür bekomme ich zwei BMW! Die sollen endlich den Zeitz in die Wüste schicken.

    Started watching and really looked forward this video until background music. I just don’t understand this stupidity to put background music. People want to hear sound of the bike, not dome stupid music.
