![Blox Fruits Dragon Rework Update [Full Stream]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/EqDAp8udhm0/mqdefault.jpg)
Thank you for the most informative and best videos. Sophisticated and BS free, also thankfully free of theatricals. For those who just might be interested. I have owned several HD since the EVO engine, favourite Road King with all up-rated engine mods possible. To balance the riding pleasure, I also buy a Blade, Kwacker or Duke from my dealer chums for Track Days, plenty of good circuits in the UK. Should mention, I am 73 so bikes are the only things to excite my groin and and my leathers are getting tight. Again, thank you.FXDR air cleaner and mufflers ( silencers in the UK) should be junked, same with the Headers to allow mid-placed foot controls.
Clip-on handlebars can be swapped out for a more traditional setup. There’s hardware for it beneath the FXDR nameplate. Great review
I am sure someone will start making raised clip ons too.
This is the review I've been waiting for. Thanks!
As for Handlebars.. in another video they stated if you take of the FDXR sinage, you can replace with a "standard Handlebar" as for air cleaner, it can be swapped out.. the 117 model comes with a "custom look" air cleaner.
Great job on the bike reviews, informative and entertaining as all your videos are. I can’t fathom why you don’t have more subscribers.
I couldn't agree more ! 🤘🏻😎
I feel like Harley's biggest issue is their price tags. Why am I spending over 20,000 dollars for a sporty but comfortable bike when I can spend way less for something that offers something similar? I don't hate Harley by any means but I just don't understand how they charge so much and people still buy it
because better materials and higher quality parts cost more. I drive only two kinds of bikes. Cruisers and enduros. Love my enduros. Yamaha and suzuki are my choices for dirt. But after messing with my yamaha and suzukis and my harleys. The harleys are way ahead of them in hardware. My 1990 softtail custom. Pretty sure all my fasteners and bolts are original. Knocking on 30 years still havent stripped a bolt out. My enduros....i expect to replace every minor fastener on bikes within first few years. Truthfully harleys are made to enjoy for a lifetime. Ur supposed to keep it forever. Built to how u want it. Big difference with other cruisers. The metrics feel like throway bikes. Just imo. Dont hate me. For what its worth. My old softtail custom. Wouldnt trade it for any other bike on earth. New or old. Harleys grow on you. Few others do.
Mr poppagorgio I agree. Bout the only bike highway has a following other than harley davidson is the gold wing
still dose not justify the 21k price tag for a stripped down bike.. also yamaha is on par if not better then the harleys look at the new venture.. Also at least yamaha does not have shifters breaking off and having issues with oil going from the tranny into the primary... now Suzuki just sucks even there more expensive bikes feel cheap.. I had a road star from yamaha and to me the quality was the same as harley and to top it yamaha came out with a 4 valve pushrod motor in the 90s
I can pay 20k for harley, but its not harley, its "made in china sewing mashine"
Overpriced and ugly. This thing looks like a wrecked vmax. Bah ha ha! Nice job, HD.
Congratulations to Harley-Davidson are in order.
Eighteen years after the release of the V-Rod, they managed to completely reimagine the muscle cruiser, now with more weight and less horsepower, and a drivetrain that is slower, far less reliable, and still air-cooled. The only metrics they have improved are torque and mpg. After 18 years.
Congratulations, and may 2020 offer some respite from this air-cooled lunacy.
This bike handles better than the V Rod (supposedly) but it's a lot slower, so yeah, it's a beautiful bike but 92hp and 20k plus price tag just doesn't add up.
Tuesdaysgonewtw the vrod has zero torque. Who want’s a cruiser with zero torque, not me, that big old radiator on the front of the vrod is super ugly! Yikes!
Agree... my gripe is the price + Harley tax + rear fender mod. By the time I’m $26K into the bike, I’m thinking of all the other bikes at that price point. Now, if it’s putting out 150hp, and sounds like a monster, I’d consider it.
And Harleys arent holding their value like they used to. :-(
Agreed harley talks about their torque like they are selling trucks. 110 lbs of torque with 60hp is really underwhelming and disappointing when the price tag is comparable to like an H2
At that price, a Ducati Xdiavel S will give you 160hp, Brembo brakes, race tuned suspension, and the pedigree to go with it. Sigh... HD fails again.
@Rata 4U The 600cc sportbikes are being hit because of ever increasing Euro 4 bullshit emission laws. They're making it damn near impossible. What they should start doing is selling the bikes with a super shitty tune that passes emission, but everyone knows you need to remove it. Go to the dealer and say you want to "only track it", let them upload the real map, rip the cat off and voila. They're trying to hit performance numbers and pass Euro 4 simultaneously.
I'd rather buy a Ducati for that price
Great review B&B. Planning to purchase this unit because I did ride the Fat Bob 2018 and I hold it up because somebody from HD told me there's a new model coming out mid 2018. You absolutely right when in comes to $$$.
The price tag is higher than a lot of other brands but it's because better /stronger parts. Other brands focus on performance while HD in quality hardware and (almost) enough power.
Awesome video , the fxdr is much greater looking in person . In my opinion this bike is for someone coming off of a sports bike or a sport bike rider that likes the best of both worlds . This bike has stance and attitude, it's a sharp built bike . A bikes not always about speed or even comfort, it can be all about a bad ass bike that all about the bike and ride . If I didnt get a 2016 breakout , this bike or the vrod ot ot been it for me . The fxdr isnt a waste of time or money but than I never even rode one .
I WAS THERE FOUR DAYS BEFORE THIS VIDEO WAS POSTED!!! WOULD HAVE BEEN INCREDIBLE TO SEE YOU THERE!!!! HUGE FAN KEEP UP THE AWESOME VIDEOS!!!!
Stop yellin'!
WHY ARE WE YELLING!?
Nice review! They are going to have a 117 upgrade available which adds another 2000 or $2500 plus installation/labor on top of it! That's gna be some expensive fun
I’m 6’ 4 so thanks for the review. Love the look
This bike would probably suit me perfectly. I have my softail stretched out (3” extended over fwd controls) and dragged out (straight bars in 4” risers) and I tour on it all day long.
I’m gonna go sit on one.
Actually, i might be first Ken. I bought the bike yesterday. Put about a 30 mile test ride on it, tho i wasn't planning to go that far initially. When I got back to the dealership I traded in my breakout in.
Yeah, it bends you forward. Good news is that there are mount points under the fxdr for std bars so you can change it out to anything you want. i'm thinking street slammers to you really only need to come up a couple of inches to make it right. still shopping on that front. you and i are on the same pg there.
It handles amazingly for a bike with a 34 deg rake and a 240 rear tire. It needs exhaust badly in my opinion, and that plastic bread box cleaner has to go. the one thing i like about it is the filter doesn't require oiling when you clean it, or so I've read.
coming from the breakout, the foot peg position felt quite natural to me.
Oh yeah, I got in touch with custom dynamics. Their offices are about 30 min from me. They are interested in looking at my bike to design a fender eliminator kit. I'm going to give them a call tomorrow or maybe Friday as i have some plans tomorrow to organize this effort.
Congrats! 🙌
I cant wait to get video with you on that thing!!! :-P Shout out to the NC peeps!!!
Next big purchase if my partner agrees.
@@williamconway995 lol partner?
@@mopar21 fiance
If you take the F xdr cap in the center off you can put whatever bars on you want
Nice review like your honest opinions and finding faults and not just saying everything is great .
Wow a stock exhaust that actually doesn't look like you want to throw it away. Probably still weighs a ton. This will look really nice once that rear fender is removed
Still think they were a bit cheeky calling it a FXD... Another great review by the way.
Nice video. Speaking of turning with a 240 rear, have you ever done a test ride on a Ducati XDiavel? 240 rear on that, but turns well. Give it a try if you can and please post. I'm a current owner of a 2016 XDiavel S, but am intrigued by this bike. A comparo would be awesome. Thanks and keep up the good work.
The Ducati will eat this bike alive without even breaking a sweat.I think the Harley looks better though.
Needs mid controls and it’s perfect.. rode one today and the forward controls make having clipons redundant and awkward.. with mid controls it’d be agile and comfortable
Another great video. I wish my helmet vlogs sounded as good as yours.
Thankkk youuu finally some one gives out a great review that you go over the bike
Essa nova Harley Davidson. Ficou com um design muito lindo.
I saw this bike at my local dealer and my first thought.... who customized that v rod!
I would put mid sets on that in a heartbeat. Keep the sporty feel
After market customization should be good in the next years
Whoop 65 miles so quick - this guy
Subscribed and signed up for notifications! Awesome video! Thanks brother! 🙌🏻
Great review and beautiful bike! I hope they sell a million of them.
This bike grows on you
The only thing I'd change on it is the handle bars ,switch to drag bars and remove the license plate bracket or the rear fender . Everything else is just right .
Just went to alamo harley to go see it in person its looks so good
I agree and I’m sure most would also agree. $21000 is a bit steep, especially when it’s not a touring bike
These look great in person . Go Spurs!
clip-ons need rear sets, forward controls need high bars otherwise is a cool bike - very similar issue with the old vrod
i like the bike, i ride a 2018 fatboy cant say i wrestle mine around the corners, i am similar weight and height to you, keep up the good work.
Love to see it up against Ducati x-Diavel
Looks like the V-Rod being brought back updated and renamed
I liked that introduction part
Agree 100%
Thanks for sharing.
The exhaust definitely needs to go, find a nice 2 into 1 like TBR or V&H, definitely one that can produce a nice deep tone. Personally I'd either keep the hugger, or find a better looking aftermarket one. One ride with no hugger in the rain will make you want to put it back on. It really is too expensive for what it is though. Personally I would almost prefer a Sport Glide, but with the 114 motor, the Sport Glide is great in corners as well and comfortable enough to tour on.
If I spend 20,000 on a bike it will be a bagger
I got conquered by just the roar of the engine.. sings like a lion
Exhaust, bars, seat/ tail tidy
Excellent video and information, thank you! 👍
I have been watching you for about 6 months. I have seen your Harley test rides. How about doing a comparison between Harley and Indian. Do some test riding on the new Indians
I love the FXDR, but for 20K should come with the 131motor
Hey there. Love the video. The bike is cool, but way above my budget. Can you do a review on the Honda Shadow Phantom?
great looking bike
Enjoyed your review
Thanks for the review, I would love to test ride this bike, I ride a 2017 Triumph Bonneville Bobber, and crush the miles on that bike as often as I can, wondering how the performance between the Fat Bob 114, FXDR 114, and the Triumph compares because I love the look and feel of the Triumph but would love to own a Harley if it performs better...
Solid review dude.
I'll keep my Raider!
Fat bob over this one for me. Or I'd rather put 4 grand into a street bob and still be into it for less than this bike. Great job on the review mr. bird
love the fat bob !!
Well you will be spending that on a new exhaust system. I just saw a brand new 2018 Fatbob with stock exhaust and it sounded like a Yamaha Bolt.
@@BobSmith-sl9sm yes I would get new exhaust but that would be the case with any Harley I've had. Not just the fat bob.
Good looking bike
I’m not a HD guy, but the bike has a good look, for the price though, I would buy the Ducati xdiavel. More power, better handling etc. if HD would not outprice the market, I would buy it.
Thank you B&B for the great review.. you got this one out before others. Not saying names ( 🅱️ 🗣) 😃
Justin... I'd also like to see a test ride on a 2019 Electra Glide Ultra with the 107 "air cooled" motor. I''d be interested in the same concerns about the soft suspension. Thanks, JP
I got to test ride one of those today she's very fast nice ride very strong brakes had me grinning like a kid thinkin yea i got your number buddy lol. :)
Clip ons. Gross. I’m with you on t bars
Noob question. Never had a vtwin. Contemplating on this or a breakout. Is that intake going to be a problem on heavy rain?
I’d get a MV Agusta Brutale Dragster 800 long before I’d buy this thing. The MV would be cheaper, faster, and probably leak a tiny bit less oil.
is this supposed to be the spiritual successor to the fxr?
Thx for the video.
how could you go under a bridge and not rev it?
Now you know why I love the performance of my 2018 FXLR (114). Light weight compared with a tourer, but with the bigger motor, wow! Accellation to past legal highway speeds very quickly. I disagree with your views on HD and them fitting stock mufflers. I have the HD SE mufflers (legal in almost every US states and in Australia ). As far as I am concerned, why should most customers suffer and have to pay for half decent sounding mufflers because of those minority States. Put the SE mufflers on the most bikes (as stock) and fit the California model bikes with the stock HD mufflers. If I can order a Mustang from a Ford dealer in Australia with Magnaride suspension, GT stripes, wheels of choice, colour of choice (all of which I can do so), then HD does not have any real excuse. We all know the real reason - more profit to HD. California and Europe with current HD stock exhaust, everywhere else SE exhaust. Everyone happy? You bet ya!
Yeah... this is unfortunately what i was expecting. Priced to compete with the Ducati Xdiavel. But not enough HP, not enough performance, not enough fit and finish, etc, etc. I keep hoping HD is going to turn the corner. This thing won't compete with a 69ci Indian Scout that is $10,000.00 cheaper. At least HD is consistent...
WOW that price tag, crazy!!!!!!
I'm 5'8" would you say that this bike is too big for me given your experience?
Who is the target market for this? It's unique and kinda cool, but 20+k? 🤔
Im having a hard time figuring that out for myself
I like the styling of 'll the new Harleys, but if they don't get the pricing right...theyll look as if they failed. That's another reason sportbikes do so well...amt. of performance per $.
very modern design
Great review!
Justin... I'd like to see a test ride on a 2019 Road Glide Ultra with the 114 motor. I currently ride an earlier model Road Glide and I'm very interested in the 2019 but concerned about the suspension. I'm an older rider and I need a soft ride. I've spent a lot of effort and $$ trying to get my older RG to ride softly. What younger riders might consider whimpy or spongy. Anyway, I'll look forward to your test ride and comments, Please send me a note with you complete it. Thanks, JP
Hi! could you say, if you choose between FXDR, Fat Bob 114 and Low Rider S, what would you personally choose for yourself and why?
Thanks!
Excellent and honest review, I always trust your vids, but even if it wasn't ludicrously over priced, it's one of the ugliest bikes Harley (or anyone for that matter) has ever produced. BTW, if you want to change the bars there's a mounting plate directly under the dash, that oblong piece of plastic lifts up and there it is.
I thought you were going to ride it through some twisties ? To check out the ground clearance and handling
Is there any bendy bits where this was filmed
Can you transport an additional passenger?
awww, i miss san antoino. i'll subscribe to just to see SA alone. do you ever pass by lackland on your vids?
Not usually. Im right by laughlin.
Still think, that the V-Rad was/is the better choice.
It's odd to hear you say 60 like that's actually moving. What's 90 to 110 like.
I like the overall styling alot, but a 107 fatbob is 17k, and on paper they are the same bike, cant see 21k worth in it.
Honestly the Maine problem with this bike is the price tag but( also ) no back seat and it looks like you can't put a back seat? It is not a cruiser and for the price honestly not really worth it at all unless you wanted to dump over 20k for a track bike.
You can put a back seat on it
It took over 9 seconds to hit 65? From rolling? It's not really that quick.
In Germany the FXDR 114 beginns at 24595€. No thank for Tax and "Trade War" that everybody have to pay because some People have their Problems.
Who is this bike for? It's for me!!!! 😍😍😍
San Antonio!!
Does not sound like a Harlet though.
Listen with closed eyes and you would not guess its an HD.
Should have made it more clear, one Harley generally changed in alternative years. One performance bike in the opposing years. Two bikes are double the fun and better to spend my cash on bikes rather than saving to spend my later life vegetating in a retirement home.
Wow, so they managed to match the stock TQ specs of the 2008 Yamaha Raider. Impressive!!! I owned a Raider at the time my Father got the new 114" fat boy. It was close, but I was pulling him. I kinda felt like an asshole to be honest... He paid so much for that bike.
A decent-looking bobber would have been the way to go. This just doesn't cut the mustard.
Number 5 is alive... anyone else see that?
These days, every biker makers from the 80cc to the 1,000+cc is rushing for LCD/TFT screen which in my opinion does not suit a bike especially the vision, as one has a split 1 seconds to check whatever, the analog rpm and odometer is now found only on a few bike maker sadly.
How does it shift? Clunky or smooth?
Nice review but way overpriced! 21,000 plus tax & then another 5,000 for mods? That's insane, you can find a V-Rod w/low miles already modded for 7,000, more power, save 20 grand! I'm waiting for the Future Custom, hopefully Harley doesn't screw that up or I'll just stick with my old Sportser which is awesome!
We are the same height and weight. Do you sit comfortably on a 2016-18 fatbob?
I think they wanted to mix a harley with a sporty bike...kinda mixing the fat bob and sportser...but idk...🚲
I picked up my used, low mile, Heritage softail for $7000 from a grandpa with broken hips he couldn’t ride anymore. He put $10k into it in upgrades. I feel sorry for anyone paying $25,000+ for a Harley. I almost feel like $7000 is too much for a Harley.
