Am loving the change in camera angles !! I sat on this bike when it came out and it was a weird riding position for me ... watching this though makes me want to give it a second chance
MNR - I love HD FXDR and now seeing what peeps are doing to it around the world #loveHD!!! I Still think two things this bike deserves 1. Some mid controls will make it ideal for those curves, yes that bike can lean. 2. A lower price, yes yes HD are expensive no matter the geo-loco but when you spend 20k+(USD) then the parts that mention I may want to consider Japanese Kawi 1300 or Suki Busa and upgrade the handlebars. Overall FANTASTIC job you and your mates are doin to theses HD. Keep up the awesomely great content!!!
Wow, what a machine. So glad I found your channel mate. After watching John Maxwell and co from the US for such a long time, it’s so good to have found a top UK blogger. I can’t stop watching. My Freewheeler needs a trip down south. It looks beautiful down there.
Awesome exhaust, makes it look way better. Still think the original air filter is kinda cool also might have some function power wise placed in the wind like that. May look cooler with a custom carbonfiber cover or something like that.
I love living in the southwest US, great mountain roads, flat out desert highways, beaches not too far away...but I would love to go to the UK and ride with you folks, seem like really cool dudes to ride with and those little two lane roads surrounded by trees look like a nice relaxing ride.
cfgvd lol, I don’t know what to tell ya bud. Must not watch anyone that’s on the western half of the country. Mostly mountains on this side, and all those mountains have beautiful winding roads. Checkout out my favorite places like Sedona, flagstaff, Prescott, Payson all the way down south by the border like Ruby, Patagonia, Bisbee, Mt Lemmon....and those are just easy popular areas. So much to see in Utah, Colorado, California, Montana, Oregon. Can’t forget Mexico and Canada as well.
i don't know how many time have seen this video. I love the concept and the design of the FXDR but with this modifications, the motocycle is just AMAZING.
Ditto as well with most of these comments. It's a clean looking bike now and that exhaust is killer!!! Would love to hear it in person. Man that beast is quick.
When i went to the harley dealer for a new bike i looked at the fxdr but ultimately chose the 2019 sport glide. Like you said that pointless plastic made that bike horrible, beautiful work on the upgrades.
Nice VLOG Mark. I hated the stock bike when it was launched but this customised one is sweeeeet. I guess HD have to fit those ugly indicators etc on to get it certified for sale in most countries these days. They wouldn't get away with those tiny ones here in the UK. This bike is setup really well, I couldn't hear any decel pop. Mine has a screaming eagle tuner with V&H pipes and it still pops like mad!!!
Enjoy your videos! I do get thrown off watching you ride down the left side of road. I see a car coming and I’m like “oh shit” forgetting that you aren’t in the right side of the road. Beautiful place to ride sir! Someday a visit from California! Hope I can rent one maybe?
I love the FXDR, only HD I've ever been interested in. I agree with some, the bike needs mid controls to get into those turns, and I really want to see a lower rear fender (hugger). I would like to see a lower price, but thinking that is just what it is. Very interested in seeing the custom aftermarket offerings in fairings, bars, fenders, pillion options and bags and how they are able to tie it all in together. My dream bike would be a naked low hugged fat tire, with a fairing/pillion/baggage add-on when needed. I also really want to see a full black Olins setup on this bike to give it more control. Great effort and build guys and that exhaust rocks! Cheers!
That's one of the best looking FXDR's i've seen so far. The pipe looks and sounds great. I still don't like the seat and tail unit, i couldn't live with low bars, and it needs a taller rear shock to improve ground clearance and speed up the steering. I see a lot of negativity about the FXDR, but i don't think Harley missed the mark by that much with it. Had it come with the 117 stock, less rake and a 180 rear, i think it would have sold much better. Harley have never put out a bike that i'm completely happy with. Even my FXDLS has needed a lot of money thrown at it getting it the way i want.
@@woodengle I've owned an '18 Breakout and that handled much better than expected considering the geometry. Had the FXDR on loan for a couple of days and it's pretty much the same, but with more lean angle. Both bikes will turn quickly, but the long rake makes the front end feel vague when pushing hard. Sure the Fat Bob is more flickable, but as i said i'm not sold on the look. I much prefer my Low Rider S and Harley don't produce anything that is likely to make me want to trade.
As shown, how much did this thing cost? My guess is close to $40,000. In the US, the fxdr starts around $23,000. That's crazy, I can go get a V-Rod with the same power for about eight grand.
Your Real Estate Expert That’s clearly not the intent of the video. This is simply a showcase of what can be done if you bring them your $23,000 bike, so you too, can be a badass.
This is Exactly what I would do with this bike if I bought it. And if Harley produced it like this I would have it right now. Outstanding. I know you enjoyed the heck out of that ride!
I really wanted to like this when I heard Harley was releasing it... but after seeing it an Motorcycle Live is was slightly disappointed, however after seeing this bike I think I may have changed my mind! this is definitely how Harley should have sold this. love the looks and with performance to match whats not to love!
This and the V-Rod Muscle were in my top picks but I got a great deal on a 2020 M109R. Happy with my purchase and HD riders even wave at me. I know I'd be happy with this FXDR too but maybe in another life. Ride safe everyone!
I drive a lot of sports bikes like the s1000RR for me the best bike in the world ... but then I tried 3 weeks this bike ... with a exhaust without DB killer lord I just got in love ... the sitting position the power but the most important thing .. I even got more emotions and that’s what’s for me most important ... it didn’t get boring to drive it ... gosh I like it so much
Great looking bike! I actually considered that bike before I bought my 2018 Super Duke 1290r. I wanted a lighter bike with stability control with cornering ABS/Cornering TC. I have been riding 50 years with history of professional car/ motorcycle racing. Plus love the TFT screen. Harley’s should come from the Factory with Stage 4 not an additional expense. Both American motorcycle companies only offer ABS as electronic Safety devices.
Sportbikes have horsepower for speed and Harleys have torque for acceleration. The Super Duke is the only engine that gives you both. 177 crank horsepower and 106 ft pounds of torque. By 3500 rpm the SD is already making 80 ft pounds vs other naked make that at high end rpm. By 7500 almost all ft pounds are there with red line 10,000. You say the SD is overpriced, no the Harley is overpriced. What does the 117 cost. Most the additional horsepower is at redline. Look at dyno. Most people do not drive around redline all the time. Plus only ABS with the Harley. Higher horsepower you need more electronic aids to control the power.
For the original diamond cut fuel cap was that custom painted with the orange colour or a bought in item as it's not on your list of parts? Its a nice touch that really sets off the fuel tank 👍
I have a FXBRS 117 with stage 3. I went for the stage 3 as I wanted that low-mid range power and the stage 4 doesn't come on till 4-4500 rpm. They're meant to be ridden in high rev range. Awesome bike though!
@@robertmoore1123 trust me.... It's well worth it. The power increase and torque curve is next level. If you do it within 6 months of buying your new bike it all falls under your 2 year warranty
Check out a 114 stock and a SE Stage IV on the same bike and it'll make a believer out of you! Stock 114 are choked by emissions and a weak cam. I was unhappy with the stock 114 but very pleased with SE Stage IV performance! There's a lot of misinformation about Stage IV torque! I'm very pleased! HDOG
Nicely done & great looking exhaust too, I too just bought FXDR, doing Thunderbike 'ROAR' styling with 117 Stage 4. Where did you get your exhaust done, can send link? Thanks
I bought the new low rider S...phenominal bike but with mid controls. I chose it over the Fat Bob because of the mid vs forward controls. The new Harleys are amazing!!
For having a Yosh pipe it actually sounds pretty gnarly. I think topend is over-rated if it can pull hard from the bottom and have a strong mid range for making passes at highway speeds seem effortless then that's all I need. That is one thing I have found Indian has done real well is pull gobs of torque out of their engines which pulls them big touring bikes out in traffic seem less daunting. I rode a chieftain with a stage 3 kit in it and good lord was it a beastly ride at 50 you can drop a gear or 2 and grab a handful and the rear tire will scratch a bit and away we go. I would love to ride a Street Glide with the 117 stage 4 back to back with a stage 3 116 Chieftain and see which one will give you the better pull in at highway speed transitions. That thing right there looks like a more traditional twist on what the V-Rod should have been from the start. I would love to one day go to the UK and blast around on a new Norton or built up Thruxton just to see what it is like to play with some British bikes in their homeland. I am not a brand loyale kind of biker I have owned numerous Harleys but I have owned some British bikes as well I had a 63 Triumph that was turned into a chopper, I had a Royale Enfield 500, and my buddy had a 73 Norton Commando which I have to say was quite the hotrod back in the day. Great video thanks for sharing and always keep the shiny side up brother, cheers!
Great vid. Why can’t harley design dept just employ a ‘regular’ bike modder. If they pumped out bikes like this surely they wouldn’t be struggling so much with sales??
Price wise it would be much more expensive to put a bike like this on the market. So this won't do sales any good either. The most gorgeous bikes from the factory will be personalized, Ducatis, Harleys, MV Augustas. Depending on the budget even the most expensive and best looking bikes will be modified to personal taste. Nothing is ever good enough. My 2019 Fat Boy is a very good looking bike and still I want to make changes to it. So the factories have to leave some space for personal mods and still be within the boundaries of most countries laws. And yes the modified bike shown is a very good looking bike, no discussion.
Love the Ford HD F150 in the parking lot. ^^ Great channel there, new subscriber, and love your videos mate. I dont ride, yet i can dream… ^^ Keep the videos coming and ill e watching… cheers. God Bless
Nice video! Unless I missed it, you didn't mention what size tire you have on the front of the bike. I know there is a 260 on the rear. My FatBoy has a 240 on the back and a 160 on the front, but I am considering going up to a 260 on the back but DOWN to a 240 on the front. Please advise, and thanks for the ride!
All that money spent, and you end up with the exact same power as the V-Rod. That just goes to show you what a great bike the V-Rod really is! Harley-Davidson were a bunch of idiots for discontinuing it.
I absolutely love my VRSCDX! Dropped a Stage 2 kit into her, brought her up to 134 hp @ the rear wheel, & giggle like a teenager every time I see everybody shrinking in my mirrors! Hell yeah!,
I thought a stage IV on the M8 gave about 150HP at the rear wheel where the V-Rod had about 105 at the rear wheel. 50% more displacement and about 50% more power
Not a fan of this model but, and it's a big BUT, this is by far the best looking one I've seen. Still wouldn't buy one, I'm stuck in the Dyna sore past, but Sykes did a great job.
Love the new cameras and camera angles.How much extra was spent on this?.I'm guessing at least 5k Pounds.In Oz a Screaming Eagle stage 4 kit is $7k in Aussie dollars alone.
I had a V-Rod Muscle it handled like absolute shit, And the power seemed like I was riding a Yamaha R-3. But I also came off a 2012 Cbr-1000RR. These FXDR have peeked my interest again in the Harley market, But I can't see myself selling the 2017 Fz-10 for one...
Really don’t like the fxdr but definitely agree that it should have rolled out from HD like this. Is this the bike the bloke nearly stacked on the way out of the shop?? I’ve always wondered if the rear tire would rooster tail water etc on your back with no guard?!
I'm the one weirdo that likes the factory exhaust and intake as far as aesthetic in fact on mine I'm hesitant to do even a stage 1 because I dont want to loose them lol.
I love everything but the forward controls. I’ve got a Street Bob so assume i could graft the mids from it or a low rider onto the FXDR. The looks with the Power to back it up.
Bike looks great but if you want to make real power... don't go screaming eagle.. you make more power with an aftermarket 114ci stage 2 then a screaming eagle stage 4 117ci.. an aftermarket kit would have pulled the front wheel off the ground or lit the back tire. And an after market stage 4 is a 124ci. 140hp 140tq easy. With that said, Sir you sure are a wobbly rider. 11:48-12:05 Take some more rider courses . "The lean angle is so good on this thing" ummmm. Its pretty much the same lean angle as the Ultra Limited 32-33 degree
What a bike!! Seriously one of the best Harley's I've seen. Awesome video man!
Am loving the change in camera angles !! I sat on this bike when it came out and it was a weird riding position for me ... watching this though makes me want to give it a second chance
Fun video of the FXDR. It’s not really my style, but it is a good lucking bike with some awesome mods and looks fun as heck to ride.
the best review on that bike I seen my friend, keep up the good work I like your channel.

I have to admit I was jealous of your weather today. It was 104 F (40 C) today. On an air cooled engine of course....😂🔥🤯
Very good Blog as ever Mark Glad you liked the bike
Good review, liked the comparison with the stock version👍👍
I thought that bike was an eyesore for Harley Davidson! until now, wow! Those orange wall trim tires are amazing! Beautiful mods! Bravo to the owner!
Thanks Daniel
Even the stock ones not bad just different that what they usually put out .
I definitely wouldn't mind having that!!!
I love the sound of the engine on that awesome Harley Davidson bike 👍👍so relaxing
Great video bro. That bike looks rapid!!! 👌🏾

Great review beautiful countryside too
Yeah.. absolutely nailed it..
For me it's sensational !!
😎🍻
Waw....it looks really cool...with that drag bar, amazing..
As a Harley Davidson employee this bike is absolutely PHENOMENAL!!!! I would love to ride over there FYI! Bucket List.
1st time this Harley has my attention, excellent video thanks for upload. So do I swap my 2017 stage V 110 breakout for one?

i am always amazed at how small bikes stop lights are.
Wasn't there a stage 5 offered by the MoCo back when the Milwaukee 8 was first introduced?
I love the bike, it has great mods. I'm curious, does it have more hp then a Vrod? And how much did it cost? If your able to mention it at all.
30 k UK money
I agree that it would’ve been neat if Harley released THIS exactly but what would it cost? 30-35k?
Would cost VERY Little more to build it like that from the get go
I believe the build would be 30 k without any discount.

Not a fan of this model but, and it's a big BUT, this is by far the best looking one I've seen. Still wouldn't buy one, I'm stuck in the Dyna sore past, but Sykes did a great job.
the minute u started that bike up i was hooked
Love the new cameras and camera angles.How much extra was spent on this?.I'm guessing at least 5k Pounds.In Oz a Screaming Eagle stage 4 kit is $7k in Aussie dollars alone.
I would say 10 - 12 k pounds extra.
Hell the 130 kit is only like 4500.
How would you compare this bike to a V-Rod muscle as far as power and or handling
I'd like too know as well
I'm sure a 1130cc vrod would smoke it.
I had a V-Rod Muscle it handled like absolute shit, And the power seemed like I was riding a Yamaha R-3. But I also came off a 2012 Cbr-1000RR. These FXDR have peeked my interest again in the Harley market, But I can't see myself selling the 2017 Fz-10 for one...
YES!
Really don’t like the fxdr but definitely agree that it should have rolled out from HD like this.
Is this the bike the bloke nearly stacked on the way out of the shop??
I’ve always wondered if the rear tire would rooster tail water etc on your back with no guard?!
Yeah that's the fella 👍
Nice video. Awesome bike
🤘😈🤘
Absolutely the best FXDR I've seen. Wow, what a machine!
I low key freaked out seeing him drive on the left side of the road at first 😅
How do you compare with the low rider s 117 that you rodé in past videos! Thanks for share!!
Power comparison is that this M8 engine is much better.
0:40 I thought the stage 4 only comes with its own extreme power cam. So what torque cam is fitted in this bike?
All parts linked in the description.
I have an fxdr looking into changing handlebars and risers. What is on this setup?
Tempting and it looks great😎It might even keep up with my KTM 1290 Super Duke👍
I'm the one weirdo that likes the factory exhaust and intake as far as aesthetic in fact on mine I'm hesitant to do even a stage 1 because I dont want to loose them lol.
Any estimate on the quarter mile time the stock fxdr??!!
is yoshimura exhaust custom make pipe?
i can not find any information for this one!! plz let us know more detail about it.
I love everything but the forward controls. I’ve got a Street Bob so assume i could graft the mids from it or a low rider onto the FXDR. The looks with the Power to back it up.
Sweet Jeebus that thing is fast!!
Bike looks great but if you want to make real power... don't go screaming eagle.. you make more power with an aftermarket 114ci stage 2 then a screaming eagle stage 4 117ci.. an aftermarket kit would have pulled the front wheel off the ground or lit the back tire.
And an after market stage 4 is a 124ci. 140hp 140tq easy.
With that said, Sir you sure are a wobbly rider. 11:48-12:05
Take some more rider courses .
"The lean angle is so good on this thing" ummmm. Its pretty much the same lean angle as the Ultra Limited 32-33 degree
I want to see one built club style with tall tbars and a drag fairing
hello I'm 5'6 feets tall will I able to reach the ground on the stop to control this bike?
Off bike topic question, but can you tell us what backpack you were wearing when you were riding in the video? Perfect small trip size!
Wow, just call her DRAGON, what a bike!!!😎
Where can I find this escape for my fxdr? I will appreciate your information, thank you
Hey what are the specs on the dyn after the torque build
