Your local dealership? But you live in the Bremerton area right? There's a dealership in Silverdale and the tax rate is lower in Kitsap county. Jussayin. Good for you though, beautiful ride!
First and Foremost. CONGRATULATIONS!!! I bought one of the first M8s when they rolled off the assembly line in 2017. Got the extended warranty. Kept it stock. I had issues right from the beginning. The dealership and HD corporate were great in getting those issues resolved. I would recommend using nothing but Harley parts until the two year warranty expires. That should give it enough time to shake out any issues. I don't care what vehicle or toy one gets, they can have issues especially first run production. After a few months, I did a Stage I, then at a year later did a Stage 2 using all HD parts. I myself encountered the oil sump problem and the engine blew. That was right when the HD 128 Big Bores were released. I decided to install the HD 128 Big Bore Stage 4 kit and the dealership informed me to change out my oil pump and clutch to SE oil pump and clutch. Used the SE Pro Street and Auto Tuner as well. Logged over 25,000 miles on that engine with no problems, running solid from one coast to the other, from the oceans to the tallest mountains in the Rockies and Cascades, from temps of 35 degrees to 110 degrees. It is a blast to ride. Now after putting 5,000 miles on the new engine, I did swap out the factory header "EPA compliance" that came with the Stage 4 kit with a Fullsac MX header pipe because that's what Moonshine Harley Davidson recommended (go check their RUclips channel out for performance builds, they are on another level). I ran with the Fullsac MX because I can't stand the look of a 2-1 and the factory heat shields will fit it. Love the sound and performance out of the Fullsac MX header. If you go 2-1, I would highly recommend D&D exhaust. Get it Dyno tuned when you start adding performance parts. Worth the money. Now I know of many who purchased 2018 and forward with no issues. I know guys that have gotten 100K+ out of their Twin-cams and M8s with minimum problems. If you ride hard, that just adds wear and tear. No problem if you have the funds which some do. After the warranty, then you can start playing with performance parts but understand if it breaks, it can be costly. Some folks have money and start right off after purchasing the motorcycle to get the performance. They can afford it where most of us can't. I have debated whether to sell or trade my 2017 SGS to a new 2024 model but I just love mine too much. Maybe a few years from now. I like what they have done and only thing that concerns me with the new models is the infotainment. If it goes belly up, it will be expensive to replace if it isn't under warranty. Hope that helps. Welcome to the wonderful world of Harley Davidson and it's culture. Ride Safe and stay out of the Seattle/Tacoma metroplex traffic. Western Washington and Idaho have some great roads to ride. Hope to make it back up there soon to ride.
Thank you for the comprehensive run down with a ton of good information, I’ll keep all that in mind as I navigate this experience of owning my first Harley Davidson! Ride safe and enjoy!🍻
Love it, and this video makes me miss Tacoma. Man living there I couldn’t see buying a new bike just to ride it a few months out of the year, the weather is just too shitty! I never got the ride or die mentality. It has to be nice for me to ride, I think that’s the fun and freedom of it. I live in the Midwest now, that’s bad enough to make me pause “ do I really need a bike payment?”
Congratulations on your new ride. The white does look amazing. One thing about the road glide over the street glide is now they make the handlebars accessible so you don’t have to take the whole front end of the bike off of the bike to change them.
Grats! I'm heading in to sign the paperwork on mine today, pick it up tomorrow, same color. My dealer gave me a good trade-in on my Low Rider ST. Love the LRST, just love this new Road Glide more, and it fits me a lot better, I'm a little cramped on the LRST. Looking forward to the future content!
Congratulations your life will never be there same. These M8 motors are amazing and these bikes are so well balanced. Just a great touring and performance bike. You will truly enjoy the ride!
Great video! Thanks for sharing! I'm from Bremerton, lived there from 1989-2011 but now live in Socal. It was great to see home sweet home! With all the rain and snow and coldness in WA, you can't ride as often, but when you do, it's always great. There is nothing better than a summer ride in Washington state. I hope you're enjoying your new bike! I bought my first ever Harleys last June....2023 Streetbob and 2023 Breakout. I love them! Be safe, and Go Hawks!
Just bought the same bike at Thunder Tower H-D in Columbia SC. It’s still in “build” mode. Getting the stage II RF speakers installed in the fairing and saddle bags, rear crash bars, Krome Werks 4.5 slip ons, CVO heated grips, heal shifter and highway pegs put on. Expect it to be ready in a couple days. Oh, got white onyx pearl with blacked out engine as well
First, great music tracks, pshyc'd me up! Your vid is one of the better ones I've seen that gives the feel of the HD buying experience. The thrill of it showed on your face the whole time. Heading into the finance dept always makes me uneasy, but I'm sure you handled that part well. Oh, when you actually drove the bike to your house, I'm glad you were properly suited up. Earlier in the vid you said you wanted to take the bike home in the rain, I thought, not in a hoody and tennis shoes, lol.
THANK YOU for the kind words, so glad you enjoyed the experience with me! Fortunately I have all of my gear already ready to go from my Triumph Speed Triple 1050 I currently have as well. I need to share that with the channel, admittedly this new bike has my full attention right now though.
Congrats! The white onyx pearl on black is SHARP!! I'm impressed with the new RG/SG's changes this year. Fairings, tanks, bags, infotainment, 117's liquid cooled, all in the low $30K's OTD. That's good. I just bought a 24 CVO RG in Legendary Orange. Love the classic black and orange colors. It has 1 mile on it! Living in WI sucks, we need some warm weather. Ride safe.
Congratulations on the new CVO, that’s awesome!! Hell of a bike, Harley really is coming up in the world, I’m stoked to be a part of it and support it!
I would definitely do the tire and rim protection. Especially riding around Orlando Florida. When you’re on a motorcycle around Orlando, you get to see all the nails laying in the road all the bolts laying on the road. When two cars come together in intersection, they never clean all the glass out of the road. Don’t even get me started on potholes. But yeah, tire and rim protection be one of the main things I would definitely get.
Thank you so much for the support! The new tires in the rain did fantastic. I’m used to sport bike tires with no siping that want to unalive you in the rain, so these are a welcome change!
Make sure you buy a current shop, manual for it if they’re available now. That way you can check their work when you get home and make sure they did it.
Lived in Maple Valley for a few years. Mt. Rainer is something else on a clear day. Really miss it but not the rain. Southern born and raised. Had to get back down south. I do come back to visit and the traffic is insane now! Way too many people. That, I do not miss.
Ive never really understood the "power" thing. Enjoy the stock bike and yes i get the cam upgrade but thats it. Just so many $$$ on builds then upgraded clutch, compensator etc etc. Very happy with my 117. Also, congrats on the bike man... Well done
I understand and totally agree, as I’ve gotten older I appreciate OEM plus more and more, leaving stuff alone and having it work right has a huge appeal. But on the other hand….rationality and good judgement isn’t a huge part of our lives to begin with if we ride motorcycles 😅 thank you for the support!!
Congrats. I too just bought a 24 Roadglide in white onyx pearl ( but chrome) . My 3rd new Harley in 30+ years. Unfortunately being in Ontario Canada I won’t be riding it for a few more months. Ride safe 👊
Very exciting, congratulations!! This is my first Harley. We have some challenging weather here in the PNW with all the rain but at least not much freezing. 4 out of the 500 break in miles were done in the rain 😅
Congrats on the new road glide. Love that white onyx. I prefer the chrome finish with the white myself and ironically I like the base gray color with chrome as well. I’ll be getting the new road glide next month after I close on my new house.
I hear you on the Chrome, if I were to do black, it’d be chrome all the way. Funny enough I actually wanted the Billiard Gray but they didn’t get one in on the first shipment. My Denali and BMW are white so it made sense and when I saw the pearl in person on this paint I was quite literally sold!
@@OffWeekGarage im going to go with the billiard gray and chrome or white and chrome for sure! The new fairing looks the best in white IMO tho. Great bike hope you have a great year of riding! I won’t be taking mine home from the dealership until April/may. Too much snow up here in the north east.
Good luck with the purchase, I’m nothing but impressed with the bike so far. Almost through the 500 mile break in period, then will run it all the way through the RPM range and decide I need a cam and exhaust lol
@@OffWeekGarage yeah, same here man… been riding 600cc sport bikes for 10 years now. I’ve owned a couple Honda shadows (1100 and 750), but they were fun enough to keep. Test rode most the ‘23 Harley’s last year, including a couple stage 4 builds, which had me really surprised. I’m even more intrigued to buy one now with all the changes for 2024… they really have my interest now, especially with the improved pricing (although still a lot for a bike!).
Yeah this bike is essentially what the St was last year at 5k cheaper which is pretty awesome, much lighter and more comfortable as well. Somehow it feels much less top heavy. It may be due to them switching to an aluminum triple tree!
@@chrissutton1519 very nice! I love these bikes. Sold a GL500 (very similar to that) recently… plans were to do a similar build, but I have too many other projects on the go so needed time make a little room in my garage.
Thank you for watching! I’m thrilled, the bike looks and feels so well put together in terms of craftsmanship, it completely outperforms my expectations of what an 800lbs bike should ride like, I think that’s the draw in this new performance bagger era.
I may see a lot of bikes on the road as I head south, during that second half of April I will be down visiting my Uncle in Sacramento for his wedding, I may take the bike!
I had to go back and see Jesses' RG origin story 😃. I bought my RGS a couple months before my 50th bday on impulse "I liked the color", seriously, I wanted a SG but loved the snake venom so much and during the pandemic the dealer didn't know if they could get the SG in sv, so I bought it. 🥰
I definitely like the new Road Glide! They stepped it up for sure. I like the new Street Glide even better. The changes they made to that shark nose are incredible. But, man! How incredible for you to get the first one at your dealership. Congrats!
I initially liked the street glides better years ago when I first started to appreciate Harley’s. The turn off on the street glide for me is how much less spacious it feels when in the cockpit. I’m also a fixed fairing guy with the sport bikes I’ve had. But all the new bikes are just so awesome, I was also considering a Lowrider St. Thanks for watching!!🤘
Good stuff bro. Racking up knowledge to go get mine last day of month. Been watching bucu videos…. Colors, pipes, accessories etc…I wish they’d do a green blk combo. Love the blk motor but green my fav color🧐. Either way RG all day. lol my local tired of seeing me. Been staring at the green and 🥃blk last few weeks🫤😂. Bought all my stuff tho gloves, helmet, and a cool button up jerzy. So they know I’m bout to pull the trigger. July 31 dday LORD Willing. FYI to anyone considering, buy last day of month. I went last day June and mgr straight up told me they DO discount last day on current inventory. Might not be a lot but they do. And KNOW THIS, ain’t no need to try to come out on top, unless you paying cash, rates are high! Is what it is. If rates are a concern, save your money! You gonna come out upside down no matter your score TRUST ME….Bought my Scat last day of month and came out pretty good. But that also was 2021 when dealers were offering low rates and crazy rebates. Now we see if HD can do same 🙏🏽. Enjoy your bike man. You deserve it👊🏽. Thx for the help. Added to my experience✌🏽
Sweet bike. Love the white. I'm not 100% sold on the digital gauges yet, I like the actual gauges on my 2015. Sucks you had to ride it home in the rain though.
I didn’t mind the rain, added to the adventure of the new bike experience! The gauges are awesome, I am a fan of the new fancy gadgets, even if they can present a new set of challenges at times.
Ha, I got the same bike. Same old stuff, comes with a trash sound system, pipes are lacking, and the wind shield is non existent coverage. Knowing will we all pay to have to get it up to par.
$32909.09 out the door! I will be making a full spec sheet video to give people a really good idea of what to expect. That’ll be out in the next week or so!
Congrats on your 1st HD...I pick that same color and trim bike at the end of Feb....I did a few upgrades on my ride and can't wait....I'm out of Bloomington, IN.
@OffWeekGarage I'm in Australia, so I haven't even seen one yet. 3 month wait, probably. I got the white, too. I look forward to seeing what mods you make.
@@shecka4066 oh man that wait has got to be painful but it’ll be so worth it! I look forward to tearing into this bike and seeing how far it takes me down the build rabbit hole 😅
Hey bud, really informative video on the purchasing process, so thank you for that. I am not sure if you answered this already but would you mind sharing what to you ended up paying OTD? Did they make you pay all the set fees etc? I’d like to try and negotiate those when it’s gets time to purchase. Thanks.
Glad I could help you out with your upcoming purchase brotha, check out my how much I paid video, I go into full detail with all my real credit numbers and everything!🙌
I’ve solved the license plate light and it looks DANG CLEAN, that’s my next video, keep an eye out. And the bags have been redesigned wider so even though bags aren’t stretched, they have same amount of storage!
Congrats! And just like that, everyone forgot about the Low Rider ST 😂 ABOUT time HD!!! I would have never bought a bagger... Now, I don't like anything but these new ones.
The Lowrider St is still an awesome bike and definitely has its place in the current market, but having ridden both back to back, I have to agree for myself personally, the new road glide truly is king!
Congrats! I bought a 24 SG a week ago. I absolutely love the bike, but the traditional Harley Riders are doing the " it's not a Harley " thing. Those goofballs almost make me wish I'd have bought an Indian.
...doesn't get much more "TRAD-rad" Harley than Reg McDonald - 3 Set Cycle (first motorcycle club president, Washington State) and his hard tail / chopped "Marilyn Monroe" red panhead...Reg's "3 Set" New Year ride was shared by all riders...
Upsell BS. Finance dept. The most dangerous place ina Harley Dealership. Any dealership for that matter. Oh yeah, congratulations and good luck with your new ride.
Honestly the entire team there was great, there was no hidden costs or pushy-ness with trying to sell me more stuff. I knew what I wanted when I went in there, I knew what the bike cost, there were no hidden fees or up charges beyond their sticker price, taxes, fees, licensing, etc. But I will agree normally the buying experience at dealers is hell. That’s why I’m so happy with how this experience went.
@@OffWeekGarage I had the same experience when buying my 4 Ultras at SouthEast Harley in Cle.,Oh. It’s been 12 years though since my last new Harley, and I’ve lost touch with all the good people I used to know there.
Congrats. Can’t say those new motors are better tho. Adding a liquid head was a terrible idea by Harley. Nobody wants it. Parts are gonna cost you a ton. Glad I bought a 22
I hear you but water cooling is the way forward to better efficiency and more power capabilities, it may take them some time to get it right but I like what they’re doing.
@@OffWeekGarage super disagree you are not looking at the full spectrum, they have already had this before& when you did any cam upgrade you had to change the heads to air cooled. It’s gonna be the same ordeal with major performance. It’s gonna cost you more $ as a consumer. Plus when you blow a head gasket you’ll have a coolent mess which might ruin the whole top end. Js
@@OffWeekGarage the only thing that is super cool about it is the screaming eagle cam is a bolt on setup which is cool. But you are not getting full potential power by any means. Warranty is silly throw it out the door
HD still pushing their "you will void your warranty BS". Short of jacking with the ECM you can change parts on the bike, even more so if the HD dealer does the work. They count on people not knowing about the lawsuit that HD lost about screwing people out of warranty.
@speaktruth247 Well that is the biggest excuse for HD to void your warranty. There are tuners that are just fine and save the original settings. But there are tuners that let a professional tuner completely rework the settings and those will get you in trouble with warranty. Any thing to do with engine I let my dealer do. They are great and done perfect work. And they do zero mark ups on prices. All other wrenching I do. Never had a warranty issue.
Didn’t they gets sued for this warranty fear tactic bullshit. Do your own services and keep records. Fuck them, their warranty and their service. First service is easy as fuck and they charge like $500+ lol Screamin Eagle parts eats dog shit. Do what you want with your bike.
I’m 5’11, but I have short legs, only a 30” inseam. I stand flat footed no problem. Also, Harley Davidson offers a 2” short reach seat. I have seen short folks ride these bikes no problem. I say go in, sit on em, and test ride one!!!
I Like the Blue Harley, I am Retired US Army Infantry CPL with Pension living as a Illegal in South Africa 🇿🇦 because Airline denied me to leave O.B. International Airport January 3 2022. Wondering if Harley Davidson would Sponsor Bikes to Ride from South Africa to Asia with Video with SF SSG John Burk(Squad Leader after Afghanistan OEF11♣️)and a camera guy(from SA with Passport) visiting the most direct routes Passport many countries Harley Davidson store across the many countries.
Out the door price was $32.909.09. Everything comes standard in terms of ABS, RDRS, etc. Only up charges were paint color and black trim. Pretax was $28k and some change. I intend to do a full video on the price breakdown of the bike and what not very soon, thanks for watching!
CONGRATULATIONS on your new Ride!!! That new Road Glide should give you thousands of miles of smiles
THANK YOU!! I intend to put it through its paces on some epic trips and some mid level modification!🔥⚡️
Gezz the parts guy just reminded me why I hate Harley Davidson dealers.
Your local dealership? But you live in the Bremerton area right? There's a dealership in Silverdale and the tax rate is lower in Kitsap county. Jussayin. Good for you though, beautiful ride!
I have been to Silverdale dealership, Tacoma made more sense for me. Both dealers are owned by the same guy and taxes went off residential county.
Just found your channel I’m a local. Congrats on the new ride
Awesome! Thank you, I’m excited to be a part of this sector of the motorcycle community!!
First and Foremost. CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Congratulations, I remember riding my new 2019 Roadmaster home 27 miles, in February 18 degrees! Had a smile frozen on my face! 😂
Absolutely, no bad days on the bike!! I’ve had it 6 days and just rolled through the 500 mile break on period, this thing is too much fun!
Congratulations your life will never be there same. These M8 motors are amazing and these bikes are so well balanced. Just a great touring and performance bike. You will truly enjoy the ride!
I have definitely been enjoying, fortunately my current work commute is nice and long, I’ve been riding every day!

Subbed. Congratulations on your bike. Handled the new tires under rain like a champ. Happy riding

Congratulations. Love your bike!!! I just picked up a 18 Road Glide, similar color, I working my way to the new one!!!
Very cool, they are fun bikes and open up an awesome way to enjoy life from road trips to restaurant runs. Enjoy!🍻
The guy that walked you to the counter sold me my Street Glide
Nice bike, love the white!
Make sure you buy a current shop, manual for it if they’re available now. That way you can check their work when you get home and make sure they did it.
It came with a complete owners manual, a simpler version of like a Chilton manual!
Congratulations on your new bike. I am driving my 19 street glide 200 miles to pick up my new 24 road glide billiard gray tomorrow trading in
Congrats on the new bike!!!🤜🤛
The beautiful view of Rainer makes me miss being in W. Washington. Lived in Lacey for a bit for work and I miss it often.
I spent a lot of time in Lacey growing up, this area is beautiful, it’s a bit hard on the guy that wants to ride every day though 😅
Lived in Maple Valley for a few years. Mt. Rainer is something else on a clear day. Really miss it but not the rain. Southern born and raised. Had to get back down south. I do come back to visit and the traffic is insane now! Way too many people. That, I do not miss.
Service needs to go back to school and learn about the new cooling done to the cylinder heads! Great channel and good luck with your new RG!! 🤙🏻🇺🇸
Thank you, it’s been dialed so far! I agree, not enough knowledge passed to techs from Harley yet
I just had that experience last month when I picked up my bike. Really fun and they do make you feel like family.
Congratulations, it truly is a pleasure purchasing from HD!
Found your channel. Missed you at Tacoma HD by a day or two.
From Olympia
Bought the 23 st but I must admit that CVO ST IS SICK!
Congrats on the ST! I test rode a 2023 sand white St and absolutely loved it!
Ive never really understood the "power" thing. Enjoy the stock bike and yes i get the cam upgrade but thats it. Just so many $$$ on builds then upgraded clutch, compensator etc etc. Very happy with my 117. Also, congrats on the bike man... Well done

Nice bike. We’re on the same state. I live up in Skagit county. ‘21 fat boy. Congratulations brother.
Right on man, ride safe and fingers crossed for a good early summer here!!🤘

This is my first Harley, always been a sports bike and dirt bike guy, but this thing has me understanding the appeal, it is so fun and comfortable
@@OffWeekGarage yeah, same here man… been riding 600cc sport bikes for 10 years now. I’ve owned a couple Honda shadows (1100 and 750), but they were fun enough to keep. Test rode most the ‘23 Harley’s last year, including a couple stage 4 builds, which had me really surprised. I’m even more intrigued to buy one now with all the changes for 2024… they really have my interest now, especially with the improved pricing (although still a lot for a bike!).
Yeah this bike is essentially what the St was last year at 5k cheaper which is pretty awesome, much lighter and more comfortable as well. Somehow it feels much less top heavy. It may be due to them switching to an aluminum triple tree!
Yes, well, Jesse is also restoring my Honda 650 CX to cafe' racer status, Euro style, Cannes, where one rides up to curb table for lunch...@@JMKGarage
@@chrissutton1519 very nice! I love these bikes. Sold a GL500 (very similar to that) recently… plans were to do a similar build, but I have too many other projects on the go so needed time make a little room in my garage.
Congrats on the new bike! I got to see the same color at my local dealer yesterday, it looks great. 🤙
Thank you for watching! I’m thrilled, the bike looks and feels so well put together in terms of craftsmanship, it completely outperforms my expectations of what an 800lbs bike should ride like, I think that’s the draw in this new performance bagger era.
@@OffWeekGarage I felt the same way with mine. Mine isn't really fast, but for such a big bike it really corners above what I was expecting.
Congratulations on your new HD it’s 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you!🤜🤛
the opener was fantastic LOL thumbs up right off the ripp
Thank you so much for the support!!
... first ride in the rain.
My kinda guy.
Congrats!
Rain or shine!!🍻
Congratulations. Mine is black on black. My brother leaves in Marysville Washington..I’ll be out for the 1MotoShow in April..let’s Ride!!
I may see a lot of bikes on the road as I head south, during that second half of April I will be down visiting my Uncle in Sacramento for his wedding, I may take the bike!
I had to go back and see Jesses' RG origin story 😃. I bought my RGS a couple months before my 50th bday on impulse "I liked the color", seriously, I wanted a SG but loved the snake venom so much and during the pandemic the dealer didn't know if they could get the SG in sv, so I bought it. 🥰
So awesome, CONGRATS!
THANK YOU!!!
Thanks for content helpful and also enjoyed it!
So glad you enjoyed!!🙌
DESTINATION HARLEY-DAVIDSON! You got new follower brother!
Thank you for the support brother!🤘🍻
Nice purchase. I'm looking into getting mines soon!
You will love it!!🍻
Nice ride!
I am wondering about night time lighting in front along with the screen in dash. I am sure it is dimmable. Congrats on the new ride!
The dash brightness is adjustable yes, I am posting a video tonight hopefully going through the infotainment screen!
@@OffWeekGarage awesome!
Up sale 🎉
THEY'VE COME A LONG WAY! 🇺🇸😎
Yeah they have, I love it!
Id pay extra if i didn’t have to enter store n if I could pick up without seeing the HD staff…
Congrats on the new bike
Congratulations on the new bike. I’m subscribed
Thank you man, I appreciate the support, I swung by your channel and sub’d as well, we’re both up!🤜🤛
Congratulations brother
Whoopy wow. I bought the 1st Honda GoldWing sold in the USA.

Make sure u get the M1632 ecm calibration HD no start service bulletin asap
All done, thank you!!
That’s a nice bike You bought. I plan on getting one
You won’t be disappointed!!
Congrats I know how it feels to get a new Harley
It was an unforgettable experience, thanks for watching!
Congratulations on the new bike!!
Thank you!!🤜🤛
That bike was gorgeous
Thank you!!⚡️
🎉😀Congrats and greetings from Baku Azerbaijan🎊
Thank you!!!
1:20 holy moly, what a view of Mt Rainier!
I definitely like the new Road Glide! They stepped it up for sure. I like the new Street Glide even better. The changes they made to that shark nose are incredible. But, man! How incredible for you to get the first one at your dealership. Congrats!
I initially liked the street glides better years ago when I first started to appreciate Harley’s. The turn off on the street glide for me is how much less spacious it feels when in the cockpit. I’m also a fixed fairing guy with the sport bikes I’ve had. But all the new bikes are just so awesome, I was also considering a Lowrider St. Thanks for watching!!🤘
Good stuff bro. Racking up knowledge to go get mine last day of month. Been watching bucu videos…. Colors, pipes, accessories etc…I wish they’d do a green blk combo. Love the blk motor but green my fav color🧐. Either way RG all day. lol my local tired of seeing me. Been staring at the green and 🥃blk last few weeks🫤😂. Bought all my stuff tho gloves, helmet, and a cool button up jerzy. So they know I’m bout to pull the trigger. July 31 dday LORD Willing. FYI to anyone considering, buy last day of month. I went last day June and mgr straight up told me they DO discount last day on current inventory. Might not be a lot but they do. And KNOW THIS, ain’t no need to try to come out on top, unless you paying cash, rates are high! Is what it is. If rates are a concern, save your money! You gonna come out upside down no matter your score TRUST ME….Bought my Scat last day of month and came out pretty good. But that also was 2021 when dealers were offering low rates and crazy rebates. Now we see if HD can do same 🙏🏽. Enjoy your bike man. You deserve it👊🏽. Thx for the help. Added to my experience✌🏽
Hot damn! Nice bike. 🤘⚡️🤘✨✨✨✨
Thank you!!⚡️
Looks good in white 😎⚡️🤙
Agreed 😎🤜🤛
Congrats!!!!
Thank you sir, it’s been a long wait but it’s worth the ride! Thanks for watching!
Good luck with it
Thank you sir!!
January 17th my bday to, I wanna ride OUR bike now. Come by. lmao
Hahaha I don’t blame you one bit for this comment 🤣
Sweet bike. Love the white. I'm not 100% sold on the digital gauges yet, I like the actual gauges on my 2015. Sucks you had to ride it home in the rain though.
I didn’t mind the rain, added to the adventure of the new bike experience! The gauges are awesome, I am a fan of the new fancy gadgets, even if they can present a new set of challenges at times.
Congratulations. You are about to spend soooo much money on customization….
Ha, I got the same bike. Same old stuff, comes with a trash sound system, pipes are lacking, and the wind shield is non existent coverage. Knowing will we all pay to have to get it up to par.
Nice review nice bike
Thank you for the support!🙌
Bro that Mountain View was sick !
What a great shopping experience…
They did a wonderful job for sure!
...can't wait to hear level of Harley detail Engineer Jesse is known for...
Can’t wait to tear into it, I’ve half way through 500 mile break in period so far.
How much out the door? I am hoping to get one in the fall
$32909.09 out the door! I will be making a full spec sheet video to give people a really good idea of what to expect. That’ll be out in the next week or so!
Congrats on your 1st HD...I pick that same color and trim bike at the end of Feb....I did a few upgrades on my ride and can't wait....I'm out of Bloomington, IN.
Right on man, you’re going to love it, ride safe!!
Congratulations
Such a jerk! Making me want a trade up mine! Enjoy and ride safe!
Hey im going to pick up mine but im curious how much did you pay for yours? Mines is 28345 ?????? Shark blue with black Trim
Yeah that’s right price wise, out the door with taxes and licensing it’ll be 32k
Just ordered mine today
Heck yeah, you’re going to absolutely love it, stay tuned, a lot more content on the bike coming. Just rolled 500 miles!
@OffWeekGarage I'm in Australia, so I haven't even seen one yet. 3 month wait, probably. I got the white, too. I look forward to seeing what mods you make.
@@shecka4066 oh man that wait has got to be painful but it’ll be so worth it! I look forward to tearing into this bike and seeing how far it takes me down the build rabbit hole 😅
Hey bud, really informative video on the purchasing process, so thank you for that. I am not sure if you answered this already but would you mind sharing what to you ended up paying OTD? Did they make you pay all the set fees etc? I’d like to try and negotiate those when it’s gets time to purchase. Thanks.
Glad I could help you out with your upcoming purchase brotha, check out my how much I paid video, I go into full detail with all my real credit numbers and everything!🙌
@@OffWeekGarageok I will thank you!
Love the new style of the street glide and road glide BUT no stretched bags no sale for me. And the license plate light OMG. Awful.
I’ve solved the license plate light and it looks DANG CLEAN, that’s my next video, keep an eye out. And the bags have been redesigned wider so even though bags aren’t stretched, they have same amount of storage!
Congrats! And just like that, everyone forgot about the Low Rider ST 😂 ABOUT time HD!!! I would have never bought a bagger... Now, I don't like anything but these new ones.
The Lowrider St is still an awesome bike and definitely has its place in the current market, but having ridden both back to back, I have to agree for myself personally, the new road glide truly is king!
Congrats! I bought a 24 SG a week ago. I absolutely love the bike, but the traditional Harley Riders are doing the " it's not a Harley " thing. Those goofballs almost make me wish I'd have bought an Indian.
...doesn't get much more "TRAD-rad" Harley than Reg McDonald - 3 Set Cycle (first motorcycle club president, Washington State) and his hard tail / chopped "Marilyn Monroe" red panhead...Reg's "3 Set" New Year ride was shared by all riders...
Upsell BS. Finance dept. The most dangerous place ina Harley Dealership. Any dealership for that matter. Oh yeah, congratulations and good luck with your new ride.
Honestly the entire team there was great, there was no hidden costs or pushy-ness with trying to sell me more stuff. I knew what I wanted when I went in there, I knew what the bike cost, there were no hidden fees or up charges beyond their sticker price, taxes, fees, licensing, etc. But I will agree normally the buying experience at dealers is hell. That’s why I’m so happy with how this experience went.
@@OffWeekGarage I had the same experience when buying my 4 Ultras at SouthEast Harley in Cle.,Oh. It’s been 12 years though since my last new Harley, and I’ve lost touch with all the good people I used to know there.
Saved my life
Don't know why they gad to trash it too
Ain't that the Truth
Who.
Your should of seen Rainier in Yelm
Hd
That purchasing experience is an introvert’s worst nightmare lmao
lol they have to prove without a doubt that your modification caused the malfunction. Jokers
Still violating the Magnuson Moss Warrenty Act I see.
Dang, they guarantee metal shavings in it at 1K!
That’s pretty standard of any brand new engine and gearbox break in to be honest.
I was just there
You wear it too.
Tell Jim though
And the King Harley Hamm
Saw Jeff memorial there
I busted
Walked right up to ut
Didn't even know ow
Congrats. Can’t say those new motors are better tho. Adding a liquid head was a terrible idea by Harley. Nobody wants it. Parts are gonna cost you a ton. Glad I bought a 22
I hear you but water cooling is the way forward to better efficiency and more power capabilities, it may take them some time to get it right but I like what they’re doing.
@@OffWeekGarage super disagree you are not looking at the full spectrum, they have already had this before& when you did any cam upgrade you had to change the heads to air cooled. It’s gonna be the same ordeal with major performance. It’s gonna cost you more $ as a consumer. Plus when you blow a head gasket you’ll have a coolent mess which might ruin the whole top end. Js
@@OffWeekGarage the only thing that is super cool about it is the screaming eagle cam is a bolt on setup which is cool. But you are not getting full potential power by any means. Warranty is silly throw it out the door
@@OffWeekGarage they majorly did this due to emission regulation. Sweet bike. There will be a kit for air cooler swap I’m sure I’d do it.
FELICIDADES!!!!!!!!
Silver
HD still pushing their "you will void your warranty BS". Short of jacking with the ECM you can change parts on the bike, even more so if the HD dealer does the work. They count on people not knowing about the lawsuit that HD lost about screwing people out of warranty.
What's ecm?
@speaktruth247 The electronic control module, when tuning with aftermarket tuner making changes to the computer.
@@maconmiles2057 oh. Doing that voids the warranty?
@speaktruth247 Well that is the biggest excuse for HD to void your warranty. There are tuners that are just fine and save the original settings. But there are tuners that let a professional tuner completely rework the settings and those will get you in trouble with warranty. Any thing to do with engine I let my dealer do. They are great and done perfect work. And they do zero mark ups on prices. All other wrenching I do. Never had a warranty issue.
@maconmiles2057 I see. Thanks for clarifying bro. 👍
Wow
Sure with I could send you the pictures of Dupont
Didn’t they gets sued for this warranty fear tactic bullshit.
Do your own services and keep records. Fuck them, their warranty and their service.
First service is easy as fuck and they charge like $500+ lol
Screamin Eagle parts eats dog shit.
Do what you want with your bike.
I intend to do whatever I want with the bike and share it with you guys!🤜🤛
Hey brother, how tall are you? Thinking about getting a bagger, but I’m 5’7”. Trepidation thinking they’re too tall for me.
I’m 5’11, but I have short legs, only a 30” inseam. I stand flat footed no problem. Also, Harley Davidson offers a 2” short reach seat. I have seen short folks ride these bikes no problem. I say go in, sit on em, and test ride one!!!
I Like the Blue Harley, I am Retired US Army Infantry CPL with Pension living as a Illegal in South Africa 🇿🇦 because Airline denied me to leave O.B. International Airport January 3 2022. Wondering if Harley Davidson would Sponsor Bikes to Ride from South Africa to Asia with Video with SF SSG John Burk(Squad Leader after Afghanistan OEF11♣️)and a camera guy(from SA with Passport) visiting the most direct routes Passport many countries Harley Davidson store across the many countries.
SSG "John Burk" has YT channel with call in number from Texas
I can trade my Afghanistan OEF11 Blood Chip belt, I am sign for in Afghanistan
Don't do the 1000 mile service with Harley. Do it yourself and save a lot of money.
100%, I’m going to be doing all my own work and installs for you guys to see.
At age 57 , I had to pickup my $7,400.00 Yamaha FZ-07 with a Trailer because I didn't have a motorcycle endorsement .
out the door price?
Out the door price was $32.909.09. Everything comes standard in terms of ABS, RDRS, etc. Only up charges were paint color and black trim. Pretax was $28k and some change. I intend to do a full video on the price breakdown of the bike and what not very soon, thanks for watching!
It's ridiculous how this parts guy is lying left and right about voiding the warranty if you don't run the motor companies parts. What nonsense !
So he’s lying? Tell me more info..
