Your motorcycle reviews are the most thorough and comprehensive I've seen, your laid back style just adds to the overall viewing pleasure. I wish we had more reviewers like you here in the UK where I'm from. Many reviewers try to make their reviews more about them and their personality than the product they are reviewing, this in my opinion is a mistake. Thanks very much for sharing what you do. Ride safe cheers tony
Your reviews are just professional. Really well done. I own a Road Glide Ultra 2016 and I love HD but I really appreciated Your BMW K1600 GTL review as well.
Best review in a motorcycle I have seen yet. Outstanding and enjoyable. Not that I can justify to myself 40k on a bike but it was a lot of fun to watch. 10:44 that was a very curious place for a tragic light., great opportunity for a crash.
Very nice. Great review and talk and ride. Never thought I'd start getting into these ghosts and gliders this early in life, i must be getting old, but i got up close and personal with one early this morning and really actually liked it. It was a a blank all black with a couple extras and it wasn't bad at all and the guy riding it was a year younger than me and was trying to look like a teenager still but the cope chopper was in fine form and after talking for a second he let me check it out and i was surprised how interested i was in it for a long ride "touring" bike. So i had to come check out a video on them.
Great review as always!! Your points are spot on......I know because I own a 2016 R/G Ultra like the one you road. I finished a 2800 mile round trip and the comfort is outstanding, however I found that parking the bike on uneven surface can get you in trouble. As stated in your review this bike is very top heavy and if you loose your balance or footing on a gravel surface and it gets off center of balance, its going to go down. I also found that the steering is heavy and slow in very tight twisty roads, again the weight lets itself known. I am suprised that you did not mention the glare from the GPS screen when the sun is behind you....like a mirror and is a safety issue. Outside of that I love the bike. Thanks for the review.
I placed the heated grips and yep....there awesome....very comfortable..not that i have used them much here in Florida...however at night and in the winter days...(only a very few) they are such a great option. My bike is 2018 and have no issues with this motorcycle. Will do a review at 10k (soon) and expect no issues.
liked the review.i have a 15 rôadglide and whie i agree with you the bike is heavy and not fun to tip over. i really have a different take on controlability. i've never noticed a tendacy to wonder in the lane. i always thought it ran on rails. ' course my last one was a '72 superglide i got before going oversêas. all things aside, this îs the finest bike i have ever ridden and i am greatfull to spend my retirement on it
Thank You. When you're fortunate enough to ride many many motorcycles you're able to have an opinion based on the knowledge of how many different motorcycles work - which is what a reviewer needs to be able to pull from. There is a reason while all the OEMs have shops filled with the other manufacturers bikes. If they don't ride the competition, they don't know how they compare. That aside, I've always believed the best motorcycle in the world is the one I happen to be riding at the moment. Just grateful to be riding!
Great review, very detailed. Please do this same review on the 2017 Road Glide Ultra. I plan on buying one this year.Your opinion would be greatly appreciated!! I subscribed to your channel. Thanks
Obviously, Harley Davidson has a winner here in the Road Glide Ultra and if I was headed out across the country, this would be a great choice. But, here's the thing for me - I turn 60 next week and don't really need 900 lbs+ to muscle around my garage. I have to realize I'm not getting any stronger as I get older. The fact that this is such a big bike and the weight distribution is high as you say makes me think twice about actually buying it over the Kawasaki Vulcan Vaquero, which is a little lighter and water cooled and handles quite well according to your review. The most significant factor though is the price. I would love to own an American motorcycle, especially a Harley Davidson or Indian, but they cost so much more and the dealers absolutely will not come down much on the sticker price. I have a dealer here in Atlanta that will sell me a brand new left over 2015 Kawasaki Vulcan Vaquero for $12,500 if I come in tomorrow with cash. Next April I will have that much cash in my pocket and the thought of going in and paying cash for a Vaquero with the great handling, ABS linked brakes and cruise control and walking away with the title free and clear is very appealing to me over taking the same amount of money into a Harley or Indian dealer and having a $15K or higher payment on top of the $12,500 cash I have. I am as patriotic as the next guy, but I also want value. That's my two cents worth. Thanks for the great reviews and I look forward to many more!!
Your points, as well as those on value, are all valid. I'd probably get more enjoyment out of a bike I owned free and clear. Our comments about the weight, when not moving, are very real. To great rides ...
I am going to be 68 in a few weeks and purchased on of these remarkable motorcycles in Florida a couple of months ago. I had a HD Superglide a little less than 700 lbs and now the Ultra at 929 lbs. Its really no harder to push around in my shed at home the the Superglide was except the Ultra is a foot longer that is the biggest drawback for me. Yeah it weighs quite a bit more so don't drop it. Good luck making up your mind,, but if your anything like me you will always wonder what it would be like to ride the Ultra instead of a zukishsaki
GA Ramblin Man Oops! Someone should have told me. I'm going on 65 and just bought this bike. I'll have to mention this to all the folks I ride with, women and men, who also have this bike. Ha! Don't worry about it. This review is just a little too sensitive about the bikes weight. I push mine around all the time. I don't have any problem getting it in or out of a parking spot. I don't even worry about that. I'm only 5'11".

Thank you for backing up our claims as an owner. I still miss the comfort. Want more? Check out our H-D electric gear review - on the Ultra.

Very detailed and honest to the point. Thx
Could you provide a short list of bikes of different types you would buy with your own money?
Pretty good review. When will you evaluate the Goldwing?
Any new motorcycle vids coming out soon?
are you going to review the 2017 road glide ?
Great, honest review. Thanks!
Here is my great and honest reply - Thank You!

You are right. Still have not made up my mind. If HD would just start a 0% finance option, I would jump on it.
