The 90's was our last great decade. The cars were IMO the best combination of old school and new tech. I ride/drive an 03 Vegas and an 01 Expedition I found with 75k miles stored for 13 years. Love it! Work on them myself and no $850mo car payment!
Happy to see you making videos about motorcycles again Sean. Your talent is explaining the pros and cons of each bike. Always enjoyed your SRK videos that help me research what to buy 2 years ago. Hope you continue rating and exploring other makes. It is your talent. I don’t need flamethrowers and chainsaws. Best to you Sean.

Not at all. The prior years cost more as the RDRS and features like that used to be on top of MSRP and is now included into the price. If you go for the lowest color Trim you can get one for right under 26k. These 24s are a huge improvement and mine runs like a dream!

Loving my 2023 Yamaha MT 10.
@@RalphMalone-mw1qosince when did machines not have issues.. even a lexus can have issues with a new model. Yes Harleys business model is underwhelming engines to get you to purchase upgrades. But its an obvious business model. Theres nothing wrong with base models but money talks with motorcycle companies. The real difference between Harley and just about every other bike on the market is literally for the amount of compliments you get. They make the best looking bikes and they always have whether you think that or not it’s 100% true. that’s what you’re buying an image. Only people that appreciate technical things which is honestly a very small group would find a Honda VTX 1800 sexier than literally 80% of the models that Harleys put out since the 90s. Even though that is my favorite type of bike, I only got like three compliments, two years which I didn’t really care about. But the moment I bought a Harley St., Bob I literally had kids walking up to me like I was in a 1950s TV show saying hey Mr. neat bike. Literally everybody that came around would complement my bike. That’s all Harley is really sound and looks. It’s an image, and to be honest, that’s most of America.
Bought this exact bike on 7/8/2024 and love it. as of today 9/25/24 I have 3k miles on it and not 1 complaint. Traded in my 2022 Heritage 114 and I can notice the difference in the 117 power and torque wise. love it. Btw i had 35k miles on 2022 heritage and i put all of them on it except the 8 it came with from the factory.
Love my 2023 road glide special. No reason to “upgrade” and be a beta tester for a first year model.. plus not a fan of the massive cost cutting tablet on my dash. I prefer the older style gage clocks and the BOOM GTS system has been awesome.
Harleys have ALWAYS been more expensive. Even going back to the 80's. My dad went to buy a new Lowrider in 83. He ended up buying a new Magna (based on price). He settled, instead of getting what he wanted. He didn't buy his first new Harley, until 1987. It was an FXRS, close to $9000.00 if memory serves. Do the math on that in today's money. Still expensive.
They really improved the Road Glide since the Twin Cam 96 days, but there's also something nice about the older models that have mechanical analog displays and no riding modes.
I use to live in Columbia... for about 30 years. Anyway, I'm in Clarksville now. I need to get down there to see you someday. I'm glad to see you making this kind of videos again. Even so, your Honda moto trash compacto video was hilarious. Plus, I kept seeing my old stomping grounds.
I've been turned off of Harley ever since i learned i could buy 3 brand new bikes for the price of one used Harley . That was many many years ago . The older i get the less i like them and for more reasons yet the initial reason still holds true . Price ! Most people who buy a Harley are buying the name and not the bike and i believe those days are over . Would i ride this bike ? Yes . Would i buy it ? Only if i was paid to buy it .
The best thing about them is they will always break down and get stolen if you leave them on the side of a road. Then you can collect the insurance, learn from your mistake and buy a real cycle.
@charliepatterson9321 I have a immaculate 2002 FLSTF ,11000 Miles. No fancy electrics. Turn the tank switch and go ,even after being stored in my garage for 5 months ( Nov to April ) It is a stunning machine. Had them all jap bikes Brit bikes. Since 1957. This is the bollocks.
Who would have thought that so many "manly men" were so afraid of DEI. Apparently hundreds of years of white male (I am one) domination were fine , but try to level the playing field makes them whine like puppies. I currently ride HD, Honda (2) and Husqvarna and aren't the least bit put off by initiatives at any of them. I just like to ride and be positive and respectful to others. Keep the shiny side up!
I got one, my first Harley, and I love it. It's the first Harley I rode that impressed me - as is "wow" in it's stock form. The extra inch of clearance is noticeable. The electronics are great, easy to use, the drive train feels like a lot more power than previous versions. Ride modes are nice, shocks are shit, seat is "not bad." Now, just waiting for aftermarket parts...
HD corporate needs to get rid of the whole woke board and the CEO. They've shown their DEI crap is more important than making motorcycles for their customers.
This is old news. Aren’t you tired of repeating the same crap over and over? This video is about the changes to the bike design, not HD’s DEI policies.
I've been riding since the mid 70s and Hardley is the only brand of bike I've never had any interest in. I'll stick with my 82 VF 750( V45 ) Magna thanks.
Great video. I’m a longtime subscriber but am thinking about getting on a new roadglide. I have a first year Pam Am and I like it but adventure bike it ain’t. Well, maybe it is, but barely.
Road glide knocked the street glide off the pedestal when the “king of baggers” became mainstream a few years ago. Everyone thinks they are a bagger racer with their hiked up bags. Unfortunately most guys buy them and put the same basic stuff on it like all thrashin supply everything then claim they made it different. It’s becoming a pretty basic bike.
I'd totally snag another '00-05 Dyna again, but man, the extra oomph the M8's have is definitely nice. I like the old stuff, but the new stuff is pretty nice too.
I ride a 05 road king I hate all the electronics because every bike and car manufacturer the electronics for all the fancy stuff will last max 5 years then the repair bills sky rocket if you want to keep the bike as all the electronics goes bad.
Pretty compelling bike, but Im still partial to my 2017 CVO Street Glide in red and black. Purchased it at Rocky Mountain before the motor company forced them out of business. It's got a stage 4, upgraded shocks, basanni exhaust, and zipper cam. And yeah, it's got a hydraulic clutch, and its twin cooled. HP is 132, and torque is 147 foot lbs. I had all the changes executed by a legendary techie here in Colorado over the last seven years. The bike is still cherry. It looks brand new. It rides great and sounds great.
There is ZERO wind protection out of that fairing. It will rip your head off. Everybody is reviewing it with a full face helmet, which I don’t know anybody that wears one on a bagger. Replacing the front windscreen is a must first day.
Full face or not you get wind buffeting. My head shakes all over the place with those shitty stock windscreens. I replaced mine on my 14 and 19 street glide with clockworks windscreens. No more wind buffeting
How is a vehicle review not an ad? They’re literally explaining a product so you know if it’s for you or the things it has that you’re gonna want somewhere else…but they don’t offer(or in a different way) If that’s not an ad, explain to me what is…
Geez man, these comments are brutal. Great video man, I think you hit all the highlights of the new 24 model. I really like mine and really haven’t had any major issues with it although it’s been in the shop since July 10th because someone backed into it. It’s always something ya know.
Pretty cool to see you riding roads im familiar with after seeing so many rides around PA. How about going across the road and doing a vid like this with a challenger?
Harley needs to fix their woke garbage by firing the CEO and board members. The new road glide is better mechanically but definitely uglier than the previous version.
I’ve been saying it since they hired that guy. Why they would hire some Kraut from the shoe business to run an iconic American motorcycle company is beyond me.
If half of yall commenters got an email from HD saying they were gonna give u thousands of dollars and let you rip around a brand new road glide, I think I know what y’all would do. Woke or not, let our guy get a bag and click on a different vid.
@@StinkyPeteKevinGamer I like all men have a price. At this guys age $1000 might have met the threshold. I can be had but not for 1k. I hope your integrity comes at a higher price?
@@RetNavyChiefBTC my comment stands regardless of the dollar amount, but i doubt this partnership is worth any less than 20k, considering he’s one of the biggest youtubers in the motorcycle community
Is it me or is those handlebars flexing back a bunch. I had to keep rewatching it and can’t believe how much it moves when he’s just sitting it at the beginning of the video.
I'm glad Harley makes this bike , but it's not for me , too complicated . I wish Harley made a stripped down [ no infotainment ] version , for those who ride for transportation , and don't need G P S , or entertainment .
Looks like Harley is going in the right direction and modernizing. Learning to shed weight and somewhat liquid cooling. In my opinion they should put the Revolution engine from the Pan America in these big heavy bikes. Get the weight down even more, and add more power.
I traded my 21 Road Glide Special for a 24 Road Glide. I do like the bike but the seating (even with a Saddlemen Road Sofa) sits lower than the 21. Just like this guy in the video, my knees are higher than my hips which is uncomfortable for any long miles. Talked to a Harley engineer at Laconia. He flat out told me the bikes are designed for 5'8" tall riders. That's crazy.
Considering Harley's Woke agenda Indian or any other bike manufacturer will be my first choice vs this once great company. Not to mention the prices on these bikes which have been wayyy to much over the past 10yrs or so...

I bought a 24 Road Glide and it is not worth the money you buy a premium bike but you don't get premium Parts on it they want you to upgrade everything
100% and the $350 navigation was absolutely terrible. I would expect something like it from a high school computer class project
@@RalphMalone-mw1qo post a video showing what parts on the you think are cheap. Interested to see it.
@@freebehindbars8654 let's start with the windshield let's start with the infotainment Center and the cheap speakers how about the clutch that has a constant clicking when you pull the handle how about the plastic cheesy tag light in the back and the mufflers when you pay a premium price you don't want to have to upgrade everything on your motorcycle I didn't have to on my Cadillac oh and the check engine light has been on twice and I don't have 2000 Mi on it and I forgot the front end that they put on it in less than 400 miles
@@RalphMalone-mw1qo yep they’re having a lot of problems. Buddy of mine had one and get a whole new wiring harness and under 3000 miles because they couldn’t figure out the check engine light with the new cam sensor that they have. just a freaking joke at that price and that’s why I have an always will ride metric bikes. Loving my 2023 Yamaha MT 10.
@@RalphMalone-mw1qosince when did machines not have issues.. even a lexus can have issues with a new model. Yes Harleys business model is underwhelming engines to get you to purchase upgrades. But its an obvious business model. Theres nothing wrong with base models but money talks with motorcycle companies. The real difference between Harley and just about every other bike on the market is literally for the amount of compliments you get. They make the best looking bikes and they always have whether you think that or not it’s 100% true. that’s what you’re buying an image. Only people that appreciate technical things which is honestly a very small group would find a Honda VTX 1800 sexier than literally 80% of the models that Harleys put out since the 90s. Even though that is my favorite type of bike, I only got like three compliments, two years which I didn’t really care about. But the moment I bought a Harley St., Bob I literally had kids walking up to me like I was in a 1950s TV show saying hey Mr. neat bike. Literally everybody that came around would complement my bike. That’s all Harley is really sound and looks. It’s an image, and to be honest, that’s most of America.
I would be embarrassed to leave the house with that fairing.
That "cubby" on the seat is to add a back rest.
Bought this exact bike on 7/8/2024 and love it. as of today 9/25/24 I have 3k miles on it and not 1 complaint. Traded in my 2022 Heritage 114 and I can notice the difference in the 117 power and torque wise. love it. Btw i had 35k miles on 2022 heritage and i put all of them on it except the 8 it came with from the factory.
3K miles You'll be lucky to reach 35k miles with that one!
Love my 2023 road glide special. No reason to “upgrade” and be a beta tester for a first year model.. plus not a fan of the massive cost cutting tablet on my dash. I prefer the older style gage clocks and the BOOM GTS system has been awesome.
Check online there are 3000 brand new RG at dealers right now
wasn’t harley marketed as a working class bike before? now it’s so expensive 😂
Harleys have ALWAYS been more expensive. Even going back to the 80's. My dad went to buy a new Lowrider in 83. He ended up buying a new Magna (based on price). He settled, instead of getting what he wanted. He didn't buy his first new Harley, until 1987. It was an FXRS, close to $9000.00 if memory serves. Do the math on that in today's money. Still expensive.
They really improved the Road Glide since the Twin Cam 96 days, but there's also something nice about the older models that have mechanical analog displays and no riding modes.
"They keep getting smoother." Well, it would be pretty hard for them to go the other way.
I use to live in Columbia... for about 30 years. Anyway, I'm in Clarksville now. I need to get down there to see you someday. I'm glad to see you making this kind of videos again. Even so, your Honda moto trash compacto video was hilarious. Plus, I kept seeing my old stomping grounds.
12:49....changing the bars on the bike. You gotta change the fuel lines???? hahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Ah no...
Did they make it intentionally ugly as shit?
I would hate to see your wife.
Gay ain’t pretty!
@DirkDiggler-p5q thank God I don't have one
Your bike is uglier though
They are hideous- like a lot of their new bikes. They are overpriced. And from what I'm hearing, MANY quality issues.
Looking forward to the 2025 transglide and prideglide
😂😂😂
😂 Transglide!
Just say you're a bigot and get it over with.
🤣 😂🤣
@@mattman3495 You sound angry, and racist!
Bring back the faring lowers. As a long distance rider they help in the rain.
I've been turned off of Harley ever since i learned i could buy 3 brand new bikes for the price of one used Harley .
That was many many years ago .
The older i get the less i like them and for more reasons yet the initial reason still holds true .
Price !
Most people who buy a Harley are buying the name and not the bike and i believe those days are over .
Would i ride this bike ? Yes .
Would i buy it ? Only if i was paid to buy it .
The best thing about them is they will always break down and get stolen if you leave them on the side of a road. Then you can collect the insurance, learn from your mistake and buy a real cycle.
Good point!
If you think thats bad, just ride one and you'll hate them even more.
@charliepatterson9321 I have a immaculate 2002 FLSTF ,11000 Miles.
No fancy electrics.
Turn the tank switch and go ,even after being stored in my garage for 5 months ( Nov to April )
It is a stunning machine.
Had them all jap bikes Brit bikes. Since 1957.
This is the bollocks.
Why does it look like a bobblehead?
Wasn't Honda the first to come out with that
This Fraud glide idles like a stock Honda CB350.
NO VETTER
The turned over a new leaf alright. Surprised it's not painted like a rainbow
Poor bigot, is your "alpha male" ego terrified of rainbow flags?
Stay tuned...😑

I love all the crying like little girls about HD in the comments section.
Who would have thought that so many "manly men" were so afraid of DEI. Apparently hundreds of years of white male (I am one) domination were fine , but try to level the playing field makes them whine like puppies.
I currently ride HD, Honda (2) and Husqvarna and aren't the least bit put off by initiatives at any of them. I just like to ride and be positive and respectful to others.
Keep the shiny side up!
Yep. Being offended by and boycotting a company for their beliefs. Isn't that the definition of 'snowflake'? 😂
Give me a loud obnoxious sporty any day.
Thanks Shawn, stay Blessed.
You too my brother. Our Redemption draws nigh
One day. For now I just got my shadow
I got one, my first Harley, and I love it. It's the first Harley I rode that impressed me - as is "wow" in it's stock form. The extra inch of clearance is noticeable. The electronics are great, easy to use, the drive train feels like a lot more power than previous versions. Ride modes are nice, shocks are shit, seat is "not bad." Now, just waiting for aftermarket parts...
HD corporate needs to get rid of the whole woke board and the CEO. They've shown their DEI crap is more important than making motorcycles for their customers.
This is old news. Aren’t you tired of repeating the same crap over and over? This video is about the changes to the bike design, not HD’s DEI policies.
The more complexity the more the repairs will be and why spend money if you can buy something more simply
Demo'd one of these last weekend. HD did a great job with this bike. Considering switching from Indian
I've been riding since the mid 70s and Hardley is the only brand of bike I've never had any interest in. I'll stick with my 82 VF 750( V45 ) Magna thanks.
Same here. 35 years on 2 wheels, I never stepped into an HD dealer, EVERRRRR!!!!!
@@alp3781 Good! You saved a ton of money by avoiding their stealerships.
Great video. I’m a longtime subscriber but am thinking about getting on a new roadglide. I have a first year Pam Am and I like it but adventure bike it ain’t. Well, maybe it is, but barely.
Road glide knocked the street glide off the pedestal when the “king of baggers” became mainstream a few years ago. Everyone thinks they are a bagger racer with their hiked up bags. Unfortunately most guys buy them and put the same basic stuff on it like all thrashin supply everything then claim they made it different. It’s becoming a pretty basic bike.
I’ll stick with the evo’s and twin cams
I bet you dont have a cell phone.
I'd totally snag another '00-05 Dyna again, but man, the extra oomph the M8's have is definitely nice. I like the old stuff, but the new stuff is pretty nice too.
@@DirkDiggler-p5qwho doesn’t have cell phone now a days 😂
@@tnhunts2759I like the simplicity of older bikes new ones are comfortable liquid cooled is better Harley should done that decades ago
I ride a 05 road king I hate all the electronics because every bike and car manufacturer the electronics for all the fancy stuff will last max 5 years then the repair bills sky rocket if you want to keep the bike as all the electronics goes bad.
Good video, your delivery is spot on!
Pretty compelling bike, but Im still partial to my 2017 CVO Street Glide in red and black. Purchased it at Rocky Mountain before the motor company forced them out of business. It's got a stage 4, upgraded shocks, basanni exhaust, and zipper cam. And yeah, it's got a hydraulic clutch, and its twin cooled. HP is 132, and torque is 147 foot lbs. I had all the changes executed by a legendary techie here in Colorado over the last seven years. The bike is still cherry. It looks brand new. It rides great and sounds great.
I'll race you title for title on my old Gen 1 FJR
@billbonu1639 The only thing I bet on is the stock market. Lol
@@recklessrt Just make sure you dont invest in Harley stock! Its a turd getting flushed down the crapper!
@@billbonu1639 I have no desire for your old Gen1 FJR. Keep your old bike.
Glad I found a sweet 08 ultra, 34,000 miles, for $500.00. I am now in the Harley League.
Nice an 08 ultra pride. I’m sure it looks great with the rainbow flags.
@@lookingbehind6335 Well, you little gay boys should know.
There is ZERO wind protection out of that fairing. It will rip your head off. Everybody is reviewing it with a full face helmet, which I don’t know anybody that wears one on a bagger. Replacing the front windscreen is a must first day.
Everybody I know wears a full face helmet on a bagger. If you aren't wearing a full face helmet on everything then you got issues.
Full face or not you get wind buffeting. My head shakes all over the place with those shitty stock windscreens. I replaced mine on my 14 and 19 street glide with clockworks windscreens. No more wind buffeting
The seat sandwich pouch is very convenient! Lol
Stop promoting them till they change their ways!!! Hell with them!!
Another great video Sean!
Why does the front cowl look like they copied the late model Indian Challenger?
They definitely copied it
Good informative video.👍
Sounds like Harley is dodging a K.O. from the Indian Pursuit, Challenger and Roadmaster. Too little too late too🌈.
SRK making HD commercials.
Ahh those Tennessee 3, 5, 7, 6 position brake levers, we don't get those here in California 😜
This was just essentially two ads. One for Harley, and one for the Insta360. Might be time to unsubscribe.
It could have been three, one for Grindr as well.
How is a vehicle review not an ad?
They’re literally explaining a product so you know if it’s for you or the things it has that you’re gonna want somewhere else…but they don’t offer(or in a different way)
If that’s not an ad, explain to me what is…

I rather buy 3 reliable bikes for that kind of money.
Is this a commercial paid for by HD?
Geez man, these comments are brutal. Great video man, I think you hit all the highlights of the new 24 model. I really like mine and really haven’t had any major issues with it although it’s been in the shop since July 10th because someone backed into it. It’s always something ya know.
Oh Sean don’t tell me they gave you a bike to do a video
Pretty cool to see you riding roads im familiar with after seeing so many rides around PA.
How about going across the road and doing a vid like this with a challenger?
Harley needs to fix their woke garbage by firing the CEO and board members. The new road glide is better mechanically but definitely uglier than the previous version.
I’ve been saying it since they hired that guy. Why they would hire some Kraut from the shoe business to run an iconic American motorcycle company is beyond me.
@@dawnsearlylight784 my guess is he is a slave to black rock and fully bought into the WEF agenda.
Please tell me how capitalism equals "woke?"
To each their own. I'll stay with my Street Glide. That thing is still ugly as home made sin. 😅
I don't get the Road Glide. The fairing just looks like a blob. Street Glide or a Road King, thanks.
I like the beer quantity level and scrolling through the tattoo suggestions on the info screen. 😉
According to the top ceo dumas. HD is going electric. The last one was a total flop!
Informative video, thanks for posting.
If half of yall commenters got an email from HD saying they were gonna give u thousands of dollars and let you rip around a brand new road glide, I think I know what y’all would do. Woke or not, let our guy get a bag and click on a different vid.
@@StinkyPeteKevinGamer I like all men have a price. At this guys age $1000 might have met the threshold. I can be had but not for 1k. I hope your integrity comes at a higher price?
@@RetNavyChiefBTC my comment stands regardless of the dollar amount, but i doubt this partnership is worth any less than 20k, considering he’s one of the biggest youtubers in the motorcycle community
@@StinkyPeteKevinGamer thanks for the tip!
The first frame mount fairing on Harley was the Liberator, in 1976.
Lol how do they get so little power out of such a large engine?!
Is it me or is those handlebars flexing back a bunch. I had to keep rewatching it and can’t believe how much it moves when he’s just sitting it at the beginning of the video.
I'm glad Harley makes this bike , but it's not for me , too complicated . I wish Harley made a stripped down [ no infotainment ] version , for those who ride for transportation , and don't need G P S , or entertainment .
Road king my friend
Buy a 114 Breakout. The bare essentials. love it.
Looks like Harley is going in the right direction and modernizing. Learning to shed weight and somewhat liquid cooling. In my opinion they should put the Revolution engine from the Pan America in these big heavy bikes. Get the weight down even more, and add more power.
The new dilly rep right here 😂😂😂
The GTS radio, starting in 2019, had Apple CarPlay. I have it on my 21 road glide Limited.
most youtubers would state at the beginning that they're doing a paid advertisement.
I traded my 21 Road Glide Special for a 24 Road Glide. I do like the bike but the seating (even with a Saddlemen Road Sofa) sits lower than the 21. Just like this guy in the video, my knees are higher than my hips which is uncomfortable for any long miles. Talked to a Harley engineer at Laconia. He flat out told me the bikes are designed for 5'8" tall riders. That's crazy.
How can you endorse a company after what they've stated they stand for?
Freedom for all?
Blue was my second choice but I’m happy with white oynx pearl 🔥
Considering Harley's Woke agenda Indian or any other bike manufacturer will be my first choice vs this once great company. Not to mention the prices on these bikes which have been wayyy to much over the past 10yrs or so...
Tell me how capitalism equals woke?
Not forgetting when the bike is ten years old, the stealerships will not service it.
Parts also get very hard to get at the same time.
Everyone is talking about buying a non woke Indian, Indian is owned by Polaris. Polaris is just as woke. Do the research on them
What's woke? You bots just keep typing WOKE WOKE WOKE but can't even say what actually happened
