I bought the road glide cvo in December 2023. I must say I did not like the old style road glides. I always wanted the street glide back in the days. But this new look is great. I know there are several harley lovers that don't like this new look but hey Harley has to update there look at some point. They have the Indian motorcycles to compete with now and there bikes look pretty nice however I'm not sure I would to own one since Polaris bought the name. There not know for quality products but they sure can make things look nice. So Harley had to step there game to match with them in design. I think they hit the hammer on the nail. For those who have not seen these bikes in person you need to because videos and pictures don't justify how they look in person.
I’ve always enjoyed your videos. In my opinion, I’d opt in for a cvo but not so much on the regular ones and here’s why: The new price point is great hine sight wise but the saving is from the unpainted inner fairing and 1990 style plastic audio cover makes it look cheap. The subscription based navigation and hot spot connectivity isn’t all that great either . I do love the new street glide style, the road glide is warming up on me still
Saturday just gone (prime day for ordering the new models post-launch), I dropped on a 2022 CVO RG. I'm won't be struggling for parts/accessories, won't have to be a guinea-pig for the new tech and if, in time, I want the new shape, I'll retain value by virtue of the fact I bought a CVO. I got a great deal too as well as gaining the accessories the previous owner already had (PPF, was a nice surprise). Plus, I just can't (yet) get over that cyclops headlight and, unless I wanna drop serious dollar, I'd end up with the not-so-desirable 'Copperhead' color.
I definitely like the new style but like you I’m a big fan of the stretch bags, I never liked the look of the short bags,so I think I’ll wait till they start making some aftermarket stretch bags for it. Thank you for video.
Id like to know what accessories are compatible from the old bikes to the new design? Will my $600 Saddlemen seat fit on the new bike? What about my exhaust and intake, stretched foot brake, etc.?
I went and looked at some in person too at my local dealership. I honestly think Harley knocked it out of the park with these! After 10 years with the old fairings, they were due for a change. This is a significant change and the change is beautiful.
I do like the new look. Only two questions I have first being the fact that the new faring for 2024 did not make it onto the 2024 trikes. That would’ve been really nice. Second the OS two option to turn it on it’s a subscription for three years at $339.00 dollars. I don’t believe Sirius radio is offered this time around, however, Apple iPlay is, and if you don’t wanna pay the subscription for three years, you can plug in your iPhone and use that from what I’ve been told. With a three-year subscription you get live weather live traffic live reports. Might be worth it if you ride quite a bit like from one state to the next. Like always Harley is come out with some really good colors again this year.
Great updates. A well done intermingling of recognizable Harley with modern touches. Almost makes me appreciate the Road Glide for once. Almost. They dropped the ball with the stubby bags though. My opinion.
To me, it seems that H-D are styling the 2024 front end after the Honda Gold Wing or one of the Indian touring models. I can say I will be type that will need time to "warm up" to the changes in looks. The squared out headlight screams 1982 Honda Magnam or V45 Sabre, sort of. I do like they added more lights up front to help the rider be better seen. There is never enough lights.
I ride a 2019 RGS (which I brought new) and this is the first year thats made me take a closer look and maybe consider updating. However my biggest gripe is..... it's a TOURING bike so why oh why do we need to PAY to have navigation turned on? I get the weather and traffic option but NOT standard navigation! I use mine ALL the time, plus I am an android user so CarPlay is NOT an option and I will not go backwards and get a iPhone! This one option alone could be a deal breaker for me.... plus IF you pay the $350 what happens after 3 years, does it just disappear and you now have to pay an inflated price to continue using it?
Love everything they did. Just bummed they didn't do the same things on the Limited's. I was in the market for a full-on two up touring bike, but now I'll just wait to see if it happens in 2025.
Exactly what I was waiting for, but now I'm seriously considering the scorched orange and black road glide, just have to buy the tour pack for it. If the numbers work I might do it otherwise like you I'll wait for 2025.
@@jimrhoads9075 Add the light bar with the tour pack and don't forget the lowers. I did the same thing and built out the 2024 RG. but it just didn't look the same IMO; of course new fairing not considered. It always looks like the tour pack is an addition and not really integrated on the bike. Probably because the speakers wrap around the seat in the limited making it look like it is anchored to the bike. Again just my opinion. Good luck with your decision.
I like what I’ve seen on RUclips. Yet to see one yet… local dealership didn’t have any out today. I’m on the fence about the technology. But, need to see it I guess.
I'm torn between a new 23 Road Glide Special (discounted) and a new 24 Road glide - I'm a fan of the new Skyline electronics and the liquid cooled heads plus all the bells and whistles they have put on these that are now standard and not options anymore. However, I like the looks of the old faring and the stretched bags on the 23's - Good Grief ...🤷♂
Lights on the street glide look good but i wonder if they could be broken very easily 😮. I am skeptical of the new infotainment system. Im sure there will be glitches. Many updates to come!!
They are freaking gorgeous. I love them and the instrumentation being built into the head unit makes them clean as clean can get. They are a tremendous canvas for personalization and customization. They have a charge for the use of the radio. I guess that’s a shittie thing but I will blue tooth my phone to it anyway so who gives a damm?
Great video, I like the new bikes, not everything about them, but in general a well needed upgrade. Love the lighting, display and fairings. I don't like the looks of the saddlebags, need to be lower IMO, but I can let them slide. All the tech HD and Indian are putting into the big bikes nowadays, it is time for a reverse. HD caters to an older rider, well older riders get older, and have bad knees, or backs or whatever. And I for one do not want to have to switch to a trike, a reverse would help keep older riders on 2 wheels longer. Plus, these bikes are topping 900lbs empty, with me, the old lady and all our gear that could be up to 1500lbs. Reverse is a necessity. The other thumbs down is Harley's color pallet, gray, silver and black are for soccer mom cars not as main stay colors in bikes. When I bought my EGUC I want 8 months for the limited-edition color, Brilliant Sliver and Big Purple Flake, to come out. Aside from Whiskey Fire, Blue Burst, Alpine Green and maybe Red Rock the color choices are pedestrian. And not all of those colors are available on all the touring bikes. But all in all, these new bikes look great, hopefully in 10 years when I can afford one, I can find 1 in decent shape. Keep the videos coming.
My local Stealership has an orange one for a mere $50,499.00. This after having one of their worst sales ever in calander year 2023. I guess there are idiots out there who will easily pony up for it. We've FINALLY hit the $50k threshold. Im sure $60k will be coming in 2025 or 2026.
What they don't tell us yet: Don't be shocked when you attempt to trade in your current bike for a 2024 only to find it's now worth $3k to $6k less than it was before the reduced price 2024's came out!! By the way Hill hold Assist is an OPTION to the RDRS and Car Play only works after you buy the Cardo headset! There IS A SURCHARGE for HD maps/traffic & weather; $350 for 3 years.
I wonder if they tweaked the 2024 Street Glide fairing any from the '23 CVO model. That seemed to have high speed stability issues based on the recall, since the Road Glide wasn't affected.
But they are still lagging behind in certain technologies why haven’t they put a adjustable windshield on their bikes, I have a 06 Roadglide and and there’s more buffeting than needs to be
The fairing windshields still will have to be replaced to get that air up and over. Why isn’t Harley addressing this instead of guys having to swap out for a Klockwerks or something else? My guess is the seats suck as usual as well
I bought a 2023 roadglide st and it is essentially the same as a standard roadglide with inferior tech. If you planned to put upgraded rear suspension you essentially have a better bike than my st. I feel burned. Also you’d have less money in the bike than I do. That sucks. Thanks Harley
I wonder if HD received some input from performance bagger guys running a 2 into 1 exhaust. I know that the stretched bags can look funny with that kind of setup.
this is all great but nobody is saying anything about the other models,other than the cvo pan america,are there any nrw models in the softail line up,and if so why is no one talking about it
Overall Yes I like them.!! And I like your honest point of personal view, we all have our own personal taste on what we would do to them including the Indian bikes. Competition and different approach is good for all of Us, $ versus what this companies offer or could offer including industry business philosophy we may or may not like, but one can always do changes to them to satisfy our personal likes. What I think comes down to is the reliability of each given that all this bikes are heavily dependent on electronics, for some too much tech takes out the enjoyment of things when you just want to ride a good bike with no hassle. Simplicity has it's base but so does comfortability. I think Harley is going somewhat in the right direction as long as corporate mind and personal view point stay out and just give their best to the industry and the Riders. ☯️ Balance should be the name of the game, such is the core of a Two Wheel vehicle. IMHO. 👍👍👍❗😎🤙
Hi Hegshot Rides, another great video, I really love the 2024 Harley Davidson line up, the new 25th Anniversary CVO St❤❤, the Pan America and the CVO Street & Road Glides look amazing. Share your feelings on the stretched bags, couldn’t imagine my 2020 Road Glide Special without them..Give Hogworkz & Advanblack to create stretched bags for 23/24 models ❤Ride Hard, Be Blessed, Aloha, Kenneth 🙏🏽🤙🏽
The only complaint i have with the New HD's is the same i have with the Indian Challengers....All that Infotainment Electronic Gadgets....The only things am looking for in a Newer Bike is....Bigger more powerful engine...Better Suspension...and Better Brakes which can be bettered Mechanically not Electronically...Dont want or need Infotainment Electronic and paying the extra 4 to 5K that is added on to the price of the Bike....I do get it though....But i have no need for it...
Its interesting that I am having trouble finding a site that doesn't give pros and cons to the changes. Seems everyone wants to Blue Pill and be positive, maybe just in case Harley watches their page. This is just my opinion: First: let's get the elephant out of the room. Seems like Harley is trying to look more like Indian. Very plastic looking and hard-edge styling. Second: The faring design may be more "aero dynamic," (same claim from 2013 road glide to 2015 road glide) but the looks haven't improved. Incorporating all of the lighting in the faring may not be the best idea for displaying light to oncoming traffic. Separating the turn signals form the location of the headlight is a good thing. The head light can drown out the light of the turn signal/running light being in such close proximity. Can factory auxiliary lighting such as passing lamps be added? The more light that can be thrown to the front and rear only adds to our ability to being seen. Third: The glass cockpit is a really poor idea. Putting all your eggs into one basket is never a good idea. When the screen goes out, (problem experienced with the 2023 CVO's) a rider loses all instrumentation. Harley should have kept analog gauges separate from Video display. Fourth: The perch controls are much bigger than previous models. A rider with smaller hands has a more difficult time activating/deactivating the controls with shorter thumbs. If rider safety is improved by keeping their hands on the grips, this is difficult to do with the newer controls. Fifth: The bags remind me of the Queen song "Fat Bottom Girls." They give the bike a fat rear end look and, in my opinion, not aesthetically pleasing. Its nice to see that Harley has made some improvements in Technoloy, but I don't believe all of the changes have had a positive effect on rider safety.
Good comments, and yes yes a fat bottomed girl. Yesterday stood behind a 2023 and 2024 street glide and could not believe how wide and fat the 2024 looked. Guys are gonna have to tweak the trailers for these fat ass baggers.
I Personally think the road glide update looks phenomenal and does fit well. But the Street Glide just looks terrible. Cool thing about the street glide it was just that iconic classic but sleek. Really a trade mark. Again just personal opinion. But that’s really what set Harley apart from everyone else. And now the Street Glide & chieftain are way too similar imo. It was nice to have the option of hey do you want this look or do you want this. Now they are kind of all blending.
Limiteds got nothing , screwed the 2up riders. VVT engine let’s see if Harley got it right. VVT engines can offer more power and better emissions(which is real reason they made the switch), but if not built correctly can be a disaster. I’ll let other put the first 20 thousand on them and see how they do.
I love the redesign and think it’s great for consumers. But this going to absolutely kill dealers that still have 2023 models on the floor. The new bikes have no surcharge, prior options as standard, an ST engine, and are a lower overall price. Also, very few people are mentioning that the base audio system is twice as powerful as previous years. The 23s are going to be sitting a long time.
I don't think so. People are not going to rush out and buy a 2024 until all the bugs and glitches have been worked out. Plus the price drop on 2023's are going to attract new Harley customers
@@bderryberry4987 That’s not really a surcharge though. It’s an option you can choose or not. Personally I’d most likely go with CarPlay for my navigation. It’s free and I know it works.
Hey Harley, why have you not added a reverse? A large touring bike and no reverse is horrible on our knees especially for you MSRP ! come on man Ps.. Honda goldwing has a reverse.
Reverse gear requires a whole new engine design, and everybody knows Harley is very dedicated to a particular engine for a long periods of time. If Harley does decide to do a reverse gear or a dual transmission, it's going to be on a brand new motorcycle model. Don't look for it on a Road or Street Glides no time soon.
Still cant close the fairing vents, way too loose handlebar bushings and horn placement was a afterthought. Big yawners and only 10 years behind the competition.
Harley have lost it. They are not encouraging new riders to try Harley’s, they are not making good use of the smaller engines, and ultimately much too expensive.
@@RoadKing-ky2bsfor one taking your eyes off the road for a moment on a bike is asking for trouble, you already have people in cars doing it and floating all over the road. Yesterday my wife and I were behind a truck and this cat was all over the road on a two lane road, we stayed back to miss the rocks he was tossing from running off the road and just incase he hit someone on the left side.
@@clarenceroberts8876 Yeah, I can see the concern there. Although in the case of a motorcycle wreck, chances are high that only the motorcyclist will be hurt or killed. A distracted car/van/SUV/truck driver poses a much bigger threat, in my view.

Your right, got to love capitalism
I really like the new bikes. Looking forward to the Ultra Limited and Road Glide Limited getting upgraded to the new style.
I’ve always enjoyed your videos. In my opinion, I’d opt in for a cvo but not so much on the regular ones and here’s why:

It was nice to have the option of hey do you want this look or do you want this. Now they are kind of all blending.
the regular RG and SG the GPS is extra $$..
They could shave another 17 pounds by switching to the liFe battery. Would cost a couple hundred more over the traditional battery but worth it IMHO.
I think the new fairing looks a lot like the Indian
I said the same thing. Like Indian or even the Gold Wing.
Limiteds got nothing , screwed the 2up riders. VVT engine let’s see if Harley got it right. VVT engines can offer more power and better emissions(which is real reason they made the switch), but if not built correctly can be a disaster. I’ll let other put the first 20 thousand on them and see how they do.
I love the redesign and think it’s great for consumers. But this going to absolutely kill dealers that still have 2023 models on the floor.
The new bikes have no surcharge, prior options as standard, an ST engine, and are a lower overall price. Also, very few people are mentioning that the base audio system is twice as powerful as previous years.
The 23s are going to be sitting a long time.
Only way to fix it is the factory is going to have to give rebates
There IS A SURCHARGE for HD maps/traffic & weather; $350 for 3 years.
I don't think so. People are not going to rush out and buy a 2024 until all the bugs and glitches have been worked out. Plus the price drop on 2023's are going to attract new Harley customers
@@MrNew122…..and piss off late model owners who were OBVIOUSLY ripped off.
@@bderryberry4987 That’s not really a surcharge though. It’s an option you can choose or not. Personally I’d most likely go with CarPlay for my navigation. It’s free and I know it works.
Sad they went away from hydraulic clutches
C'Mon hegshot... What is the largest firearm you can stash in that street Glide storage dashbin?
Love the styling but has anybody actually had a ride in it ?
Let me know your impressions and if it feels like what you expect from a big Harley.
Ya but those #’s are from the crank not the wheel
Good job 👍
Thanks man
Don’t forget they removed the external antenna and made it internal.
I’ve been waiting for these changes forever. Almost pulled the trigger last year on a BMW. I purchased a 2024 SG yesterday…
Road glide looks like a chinese lion thingy.
if you don't like the look of these new motorcycles they just make yours look better by comparison
It’s a Harley wing now very disappointed lost the sound of a Harley years ago now the nostalgia
Like them.
Hey Harley, why have you not added a reverse? A large touring bike and no reverse is horrible on our knees especially for you MSRP ! come on man Ps.. Honda goldwing has a reverse.
Get a Goldwing or trike!
Because anyone with a ball sac would never buy one ever again if they did!
Let me see, what and to whom I wrote my opinion to ,,,,,,,,,nope did not ask you for a sarcastic opinion
Reverse gear requires a whole new engine design, and everybody knows Harley is very dedicated to a particular engine for a long periods of time.
If Harley does decide to do a reverse gear or a dual transmission, it's going to be on a brand new motorcycle model. Don't look for it on a Road or Street Glides no time soon.
@@MrNew122 sorry totally not true
No new engine design needed sorry
Look at eurowing USA
Or
Baker design to name a few
Biggest dislike is there is a subscription service fee for the radio and GPS now.
Blue tooth your phone to it and flip the bass turds off for that truly shittie thing. It does suck. You’re right.
Still cant close the fairing vents, way too loose handlebar bushings and horn placement was a afterthought. Big yawners and only 10 years behind the competition.
You did miss stupid gear indicator switch sitting on gear box.
I am not crazy about the new street glide I have a 23 and I would not trade mine for a 24
I don't care for the new look on either model. No longer a rugged look...
Great vidéo but with the gun in the back oufffff come on...
Challenger front end and a Honda gold wing rear …. lame
Airbox to big.....🤔
don’t like the Futurama from end
Harley have lost it. They are not encouraging new riders to try Harley’s, they are not making good use of the smaller engines, and ultimately much too expensive.
Touch screen is not good for a motorcycle
Why?
@@RoadKing-ky2bsfor one taking your eyes off the road for a moment on a bike is asking for trouble, you already have people in cars doing it and floating all over the road. Yesterday my wife and I were behind a truck and this cat was all over the road on a two lane road, we stayed back to miss the rocks he was tossing from running off the road and just incase he hit someone on the left side.
@@clarenceroberts8876 Yeah, I can see the concern there. Although in the case of a motorcycle wreck, chances are high that only the motorcyclist will be hurt or killed. A distracted car/van/SUV/truck driver poses a much bigger threat, in my view.
😒
Indian has better touring bikes. Harley has better Cruisers!
