25th Anniversary of CVO and first model inspired by the factory racing program are the reasons I'm going for the ST this year. It would be nice to to wait for bugs to be worked out, but this is a special year so can't do that. CVOs hold more value, and anniversary models even moreso. I'd like to think I'll keep it forever, but that hasn't happened with any bike I've ever owned, so depreciation matters.
The CVO maybe more bang for your buck. All those add-on OEM parts quickly bump up cost. Plus the labor associated with it. I definitely don’t need the extra HP/Torque, but there something very special about CVO’s.
I went with the same bike you've got the whiskey fire on black. I think the 117 is plenty enough motor for me. I had an 05 CVO with 103 motor and I thought that was enough motor for me. Getting older and I'm just looking for Comfort rather than hair on fire speed. Definitely need to upgrade the exhaust and the stereo but other than that I'm pretty happy
Hi….I’m new to HD so I have a crazy question. I got 2024 street glide whisky fire, but what if I decide to change a faring so it becomes road glide….is it actually possible?????
Great video! For me, it was a pretty easy decision i went with the 24 RG. I have had a lot of Ducatis and Harleys. The ST Harley could never compete with a GT Multistrada ($37k) a Sport tourer. For 45k on the ST, it's not worth the money. The 24 RG is a steal in my opinion.
Out of all the CVO bikes I remember only seriously wanting the first years CVO (1997 Chrome, black with green flame ) and now this 2024 Road Glide ST CVO. The only question is the black or white? I think Harley knocked it out of the park with this bike! However, I have always been one to modify my bike with cams and such coming 1st and enjoy that process. The idea of buying this new ST CVO and not needing to do much if anything to the engine may be against my nature but may be nice as Harley kinda gets it right with this ST and the area I now live offers limited 3rd party tuning options so a factory hot rod may be appealing? Also, I think I would want to be able to ride 2 up 10-15% of the time; Having to relocate the shock reservoir and add quick release and seat hardware is something I'm wrapping my head around. I'm not much into audio on a bike but wonder at $42K will I be okay with only front speakers? I truly love this ST and trying to make sure it would be a good match for me.
I was at an Indian dealer last year and the shop guys were complaining about all the customer bikes with broken windshield mechanisms, and the cheap plastic gears from China were backordered.
I would go with the Standard 117 it's plenty of motor and can build on it if you like. $26,000 sounds like a real bargain compared to $43,000 ! Even though $26,000 is still a good chunk of change. Beautiful Bikes 😎
I’m finally in the market for a new bagger and I just got done watching your Harley vs. Indian company comparison where you chose Indian as the better company. I just rode a 2022 street glide CVO and a 2023 Chieftain. I could not believe the difference in the ride, weight and handling. I have zero company loyalty either way and I’m struggling with who to choose. I have not had a chance to ride the 24 street glide and I was wondering how it compares to the chieftain’s ride and more specifically the weight feel. The biggest attraction for me on the Indian was the difference in where the weight was. I’m asking for your recommendation on whether or not I make the trek to the Harley dealer to ride the new 24 or just buy the chieftain?
That white and the blue colors on the 2024 stand out! Never drawn to blue, but it glows in the crowded showroom.

i like the ultra with the tour pack & lowers.

Awesome video.
Have you had any more starting issues or has it been resolved. If so was just the software update?
Cheers and ride safe!

If you have the money they can do it.

I love watching these videos but I don't think I could ever bring myself to buy a brand new Harley.

Not a fan of the ST colors. Like all the mechanical improvements, but still not a fan of the new RG fairing.
You guys do know you can add the ST package without going to the CVO right? As in, from the factory and not piecing it together...

I think I'll just stick with my 98 Dyna Evo
Lets hear more about the lemon you ended up with...
I bought a CVO ST. Baddest stock bagger there is.
Man you do and amazing review thank you .
Very thorough you deserve 💰
But then there’s the CVO 121, I’m thinking it’s the best value.
Agreed
The one with vvt?
But if you check out riding fish still can’t keep up with a stock Indian challenger
Thanks!

Hello from Indiana.
I guess it’s first model year so they’re playing it safe but all the colors look boring to me.
The 117 is soft 👍 thé 121 vibrates more 😡
For the redesigned look of the 2024 H-D, you should get an Indian since H-D copied them. It is what it is.
The carbon fiber pattern kooks like trash. Looks fake.
lmao too late
There's only one thing you need to know: Buy Indian. You're welcome.
Indian is like the cheap Chinese knockoff products you see on Amazon. Plastic looking, bulky and cheap.
The Indian Challenger smokes the 2024 CVO Street Glide
All junk , both of them , overpriced junk
