Hey guys small correction in something I said. The Pan America in it's first year had a color called "Gauntlet Gray" not Industrial Gray. I said the wrong color name. Edit 1-7-23 - Some of the pricing on options I glazed over quickly and now I'm realizing went up, that I wanted to clarify instead of assuming they are the same as 2022. Black trim on Road Glide and Street Glide Special is $1,000 instead of the $930 it was in 2022 Pan American Laced wheel are up to $1,000 (factory option) up from $624. Still worth it. It costs about $2,500 to add them after the fact at a dealer.
I think it's important to do these, as much as it may seem like a 'grab' of sorts. Due to the algorithm, I think it might be better to do it, than not. Looking forward to the Anniversary info! Thanks for the great narration as always Matt and crew!
Thanks for the shout out Matt! Also, the guy on the Street Glide Special is my Dad. He is 78 years old and still Gliding. Hope to see you on our trip to California this year. Keep Gliding and have a blessed day. Tall
New sportster price Is € 20,695 plus the surcharge of € 275 plus vat here in Ireland which converts to $ 22,270 dollars , u guys in USA get way cheaper Harley’s than us here in Europe
Definitely keep it going Matt. The pre-launch videos are really good from you. Going over changes in pricing on spec sheet as well as reminding us of history tendencies of the Moco is something unique to your channel. It allows us to consume the technical details separately from the visual real life observations. Cheers!!!
Definitely keep doing these videos Matt, your channel has the best HD content on RUclips by far ! Love your straight down the line approach on this one. Cheers.
Matt you can put out whatever you see fit, it's your channel, fact is I'm going to watch it my friend. I'm sure many are like me, and I have become a fan of the way you convey info. Love the billiard Blue.
Always 100% representing the product, as it should be. As it’s meant to be from a Brand Ambassador. Much appreciated. Long live Harley Davidson. Whatever it takes. Life’s short, just buy the bike. Rode safe and ride often.
I tried to buy the Lowrider St. in the beginning of spring . Out of 4 dealerships only 1 had one available . They wanted $27,999 ! I walked out went home watched a few of your videos and ended up buying the Street Glide ST. I gotta tell you Matt I absolutely love it. I think I am officially a " bagger bro " . Thanks for the videos guys !
OH WOW.... Nice video, I am still waiting till after the 18th or mid year when the cool stuff might show up. Love the added video clips of Yosemite, Hwy 1, Tombstone plus a few others... I am still waiting for the directions for the one I asked you about. Happy New 2023 Year Matt & crew.
Hey Matt. Like everyone has been saying they like your videos the most on HD content. I agree. One thing bro, I wish they’d go back to the dealer show!! Nothing cooler then seeing you tower above everybody and get the best video, plus the bikes bad ass with a size comparison. Not that we don’t know the size, you know what I mean!! Keep it up
Very nice overview Matt. I like the website format as you do a great job of summarizing and pointing out the changes and differences. Always enjoy your content, knowledge and passion for the brand. Thanks for the work on this and for sharing!
The Intel on your Site is dependable and accurate.. TYVM for that! I’m Ready for a 23’ Model … and I Know Harley has a 131” motor they’ve developed.. I’m wanting a Freewheeler with the 131 and 14” Apes,with a Backrest for a Passenger. I suppose that has to be ordered special
Thanks for the video Matt, you are always informative and pointing out important details. I WAS really hoping all '23s were going to ALL be anniversary models, likes some of the other years. I was planning to get one. However, I'm afraid now the anniversary models will all be like the Icon series: limited and super expensive. Guess we'll find out on the 18th. Hope colors are better, most of the ones that came out (at least as represented on the website) are MEH at best, especially compared to the '22 colors/color combos. Maybe its by MotorCo design, the 120s will be much better, so pay up. Guess I still have my 2003 Anniversary RK classic, maybe keep it until 2024. Look forward to your next ride video and Build series.
Great video. I enjoy the run down. You stick to the facts, and really that what I'm looking for. Your b-roll was amazing. I love how you gathered footage from all your rides. Thanks Matt
The well to do owner of the Harley dealership thinks Harley’s are currently underpriced…. What a novel thought😒 Most of us are saving our pennies just to get a base model with no extras at whatever the inflated bump to MSRP the local dealer feels like throwing on, and you’re out here glad when corporate raises the already ridiculously high MSRPs, Harley is getting too boogie
Thanks for the updates, Matt. What's really intrigued me is the leak out of Switzerland talking about the FLHFB Highway King in 114. I held off buying a Road King because it was in 107. Instead, I put 1K down for a black FXLRST. I hope Harley surprises us with a sweet bike in the FLHFB, and in a color more like the Revival. I wish I could have afforded to get one of those. Not that it matters, but I'm not really a fan of the paint color options this year on most bikes. There are a couple where the paint comes together and fits a particular model for some reason, but most of the yellow, gold, red, and blues don't feel right to me. Que Sera though.... I'm looking forward to the 18th. Thanks again for the great, consistent content.
I appreciate your thoughts. So are you getting to Low Rider ST then? H-D took some risks with paint for sure. There are some really nice ones in there in my personal opinion though.
@Matt Laidlaw I'm happy to take ownership of the FXLRST because of the 1) 117, 2) handling, 3) fairing and bags 4) cruise control. I know I'd be more than happy with it. We'll see though. I'm also pretty attracted to the Road King and that style the Revival had. I like the way they ride and that classic look is doing it for me. I may just wait until the 18th to see what's new with the King line (i.e., RK anniversary[TBD] or Highway King). Worst case, I don't connect with the new offerings for some reason and I have to go to the back of the line and wait a few weeks more for a FXLRST. It wouldn't be the end of the world. Lol, first world problems...
I was telling someone how great your videos are. They cover bike reviews, shop mechanics, detailer, the rides, the vicla episode. So well balanced. Of course he just wanted some money for food.
Great review, personally I like your comments and observations , you speak your mind and say what you think which is great, along with excellent content , your comments and opinions are why I watch your channel.
Funny you mentioned you only put out the facts.. which I agree 💯 and awesome builds. So I seen your thumbnail and another channels thumbnail stating 2023 models .. I came here first
I'm glad they didn't discontinue the softail standard. I just might have to come see Andrew again soon and do a build on one. Possibly an FXRT fairing. I haven't seen that done yet, its always on the LRS. They look great on LRS, but I like chrome so softail standard would be a better starting point. Not worried about the smaller tank, my Pan Am is for the long distance rides. Great video Matt, and to answer your question, yes please keep doing these website videos in January. The more videos and information the better.
I loved the satin chrome look. I have an industrial denim gray RGS that’s blacked out but if there was a satin chrome option at the time, I would have probably leaned that way.
Appreciate you doing these videos, because your knowledge can be trusted and you're a straight shooter. Some RUclipsrs don't know an air cleaner from a horn cover. That Prospect Gold/Vivid Black RG Limited is calling my name.
Great job Matt! Keep up the good work!! I could imagine a bagger type of bike with the new rev engine... 975 Pan Am or the bronx would also be a great addition! 🤘
THAT ORANGE like a mopar orange kinda DAMN!!! When I was a kid I saw a Fatboy in Hemi orange .. the OG Fatboy of course .. no 50 cal Bulletholes on the wheels AMAZING
Thanks & Great video Matt! My have a 2018 Limited with the 107 I love it. I think it’s a great motor. Plenty of power And it only has the S.E. Stage l. When I tell people it’s a 107 they look disappointed. Lol.. 🤷🏻♂️
Matt, you were very clear what this content was, I appreciate it and love your take on this stuff. Wish they’d calm down the back tire to the Fat Boy. Always loved that bike with a 160 on the back, until they put a big back tire on it like a BreakOut, now looks more like a bar hopper bike, IMO. Wish they’d bring back the Softail Deuce, and scrap the Softail Standard. Just my two cents, but totally love this content and narration. Appreciate you.
Thanks for the feedback. Yea, it’s a big tire. It kinda divisive. A lot of people really like it but an equal amount agree with you and don’t want it. I think visually it’s a tough looking bike. But you’re right , it more of a core cruiser and you lose handling.
Agree with the tire on the Fat Boy and bringing back the Deuce, but they shouldn't scrap the Standard. With the Evo Sportster gone, the Standard is now the main option for those that want a clean blank slate for modification.
@@stevem4783 I’m cool keeping the Standard, I just thought HD would have issue with both. I had a Deuce put 60,000+ miles on it over road trips. Stretched tank and forks, chrom HD Thunderstar front wheel was a head turn and comfortable to ride. I love the FatBoy for road tripping to with that 160. It was a great bike to get out and go ride 500 miles a day. It looks showy today.
If you at the dealership are getting shipments of these bike put the information out to us. You have always been good with information please continue.
Holy Christ ‼️‼️by the time you leave and get reamed out of the dealership, a new sportster S will be over 20 K, you’ll end up trading it in 7 months cause your back can’t take the riding position anymore 🤷🏻♂️
@@rondavis9918I’m waiting until they bring out the “new” before casting judgement. I’d definitely like to see an HD version of the MT/Yamaha or Duke/KTM lines.
Good show Matt .... I always look forward to the new year models. As a owner of a 2020 Fat Boy 114, I like the Satin Chrome ... I also like the bright chrome on the newer Fatboy models HOWEVER I prefer my Satin Chrome. I do wish the Satin Chrome wheels came in the "slotted" style wheel like the newer Fat Boys. Happy New Year ! I am looking forward to more ROAD TRIP VIDEOS WITH THE LAIDLAW CREW. You kidz make great entertaining videos !!!
Great info. I see the ultra ltd is listed $400 more than the Road Glide Ultra in the US, but the Canadian website list them at the same price. Also the Ultra LTD & RG LTD have new badging.
Still find it hard to believe that the Sportglide has been deleted in the US. I mean, quick release panniers (or saddlebags as you guys call them), along with the quick release fairing and the sexiest wheels ever on a motorcycle. .....Not to mention the awesome looks...!! Whats not to like...?!! But then I presume the sales figures would justify Harleys decision...? So glad it's still available to us here in the UK......for the time being anyway. 😬 Anyway....HAPPY NEW YEAR...!!🌞
I visited one of the bmw dealership here in new england and 2023 R18sticker is 16.5k and negotiable. All their bikes have price tag. H-D dont put pricetag on every dealership now so they can ask for more money. Last spring i went to H-D wanting to get the LR ST and paying for cash. But they want almost 30k! I end up buying 2022 S1000XR.
Hi Matt from North East Victoria, Australia. Great vdo and thanks for all the info and looking forward to seeing the really new stuff for 2023. Hopefully we're going to get some big surprises. I own a 2021 Sport Glide and love it and bought it because of the luggage AND the cruise control which Is a must on a continent the size of Australia! My wife has always wanted a Fat Bob but because of a badly broken arm and wrist from several years ago, owns a CF Moto 700 CL-X BECAUSE IT HAS CRUISE CONTROL and she can take her aching right hand off the bars. Introducing cruise control to the Fat Bob is a massive win for her and as soon as they arrive here, she'll be buying one. Love that Industrial Yellow on the Street Bob!! Something that has surprised me is the price for adding ABS. 950 bucks!!! That isn't buttering any kippers for me !!! Luckily everything we get here in OZ has ABS but no doubt we've paid for it in the RMSP.
Hi Simon. Thanks for watching all the way from Australia. Yes! It sounds like the cruise control on the fat bob is going to be a game changer for your wife. Enjoy!
Great catch on the Softail cruise control info. Last year HD advertised LEDs for the Fatboy bullet lights, but they were incandesant. I notice they make a point of advertising they are LED for 2023. Can you clarify?
That's satin chrome was a novelty but give good old cholo chrome any day... That white sand pearl reminds me of Matt's old Street Glide , kinda makes you wonder if Matt will pull the trigger on that 2023 Road Glide St .
Happy new year to all at Laidlaws all the best for the comeing season. I must add that i would love to see a smaller version of the PA haveing bought one last year it can be a handfull in the dirt so a lighter mid class version would be great.
Yea, I think a lot of people are asking for that. Especially since that’s the flavor of the month in the ADV world right now. 100 pounds lighter makes a big difference off road. Personally I like a road bias bike because that’s the majority of my miles.
Clear & Concise = Authoritative. Like the new colours. I don’t get why H-D only have Low Riders in one other colour than black when you tell me they are so popular, seems strange.
I find that kinda strange as well. My best guess is that the lack of colors somehow play into the performance image of the bike. It would seem though that on a bike that sells a lot of units you’d offer a larger variety of colors. In the car world though, the top end performance stuff has few colors as well but I think those are also very limited production cars. 🤷♂️
Very curious what's going on with the Nightster. 1250 option and TFT? I hate the way the RevMax sounds, but if they offered the Nightster with those two I might be able to get over it, especially in that new blue or gray. If it turns out to be a 500ci model or something like that, then yawn.
To me, "just a color" can make or break the bike (just like wheels). Sometimes, a small cosmetics adjustement can make a whole lot of difference. A good exemple is the new Low rider S with the meter being moved from the tank to the handle bar: tank= no buy, handlebar = buy. Just my personal taste!
Getting rid of the sportster was a massive mistake. Harley has no entry bike that represents a true Harley style, look and sound. The Nightster is a Rebel just more expensive.
Ugh, I hate that they're still going with the slotted wheels on the Fatboy instead of the solid lakesters. Also, the trailing wing on the HD logo does not look as good as the double wings the Fatboy had pre-2022. Hopefully, Harley changes it back soon

Thanks for the updates, Matt.
What's really intrigued me is the leak out of Switzerland talking about the FLHFB Highway King in 114. I held off buying a Road King because it was in 107. Instead, I put 1K down for a black FXLRST. I hope Harley surprises us with a sweet bike in the FLHFB, and in a color more like the Revival. I wish I could have afforded to get one of those.
Not that it matters, but I'm not really a fan of the paint color options this year on most bikes. There are a couple where the paint comes together and fits a particular model for some reason, but most of the yellow, gold, red, and blues don't feel right to me. Que Sera though....

It's just business. They discontinue models based on sales numbers. Sad to see it go along with the old Sportster EVO line.

As a owner of a 2020 Fat Boy 114, I like the Satin Chrome ... I also like the bright chrome on the newer Fatboy models HOWEVER I prefer my Satin Chrome. I do wish the Satin Chrome wheels came in the "slotted" style wheel like the newer Fat Boys.
Happy New Year !
I am looking forward to more ROAD TRIP VIDEOS WITH THE LAIDLAW CREW. You kidz make great entertaining videos !!!
Excited to see the anniversary paint, but dang that white lowrider st has me itching to get a new bike. Great video, thanks.
It looks even better in person.
Great info.
I see the ultra ltd is listed $400 more than the Road Glide Ultra in the US, but the Canadian website list them at the same price.
Also the Ultra LTD & RG LTD have new badging.
Great video, thanks
Thanks for watching 🤙🏼
I like the prospect gold color but the Industrial Yellow looks like there should be a Tonka somewhere on the bike lol!
Still find it hard to believe that the Sportglide has been deleted in the US. I mean, quick release panniers (or saddlebags as you guys call them), along with the quick release fairing and the sexiest wheels ever on a motorcycle. .....Not to mention the awesome looks...!! Whats not to like...?!! But then I presume the sales figures would justify Harleys decision...? So glad it's still available to us here in the UK......for the time being anyway. 😬 Anyway....HAPPY NEW YEAR...!!🌞
I liked the satin chrome but you're stuck no aftermarket in that color. I dont like that the new Baja orange has to be chrome.
I agree on both points, the satin is awesome but its tough for the aftermarket to match it.
Our first shipment came in Tuesday, diggin the gray haze for sure
Great video as always Matt. Unfortunately I cannot say I am impressed at all with the motor company this year.
clear, no bullshit vid Matt.
I visited one of the bmw dealership here in new england and 2023 R18sticker is 16.5k and negotiable. All their bikes have price tag. H-D dont put pricetag on every dealership now so they can ask for more money. Last spring i went to H-D wanting to get the LR ST and paying for cash. But they want almost 30k! I end up buying 2022 S1000XR.
Burning the midnight oil Matt, awesome as always!
Did HD discontinue the Freewheeler? I was saving up for the downpayment but it is no longer listed for 2023.
Let me know when they bring back the Road King standard with the 114.
Great vid, appreciate you. Hey, is stage 1 available for this model year? Did that get handled?
Good video. Bet there are several 120th anniversary models. Looking forward to it.
What bars are on that Road King Special?
Hi Matt from North East Victoria, Australia. Great vdo and thanks for all the info and looking forward to seeing the really new stuff for 2023. Hopefully we're going to get some big surprises. I own a 2021 Sport Glide and love it and bought it because of the luggage AND the cruise control which Is a must on a continent the size of Australia! My wife has always wanted a Fat Bob but because of a badly broken arm and wrist from several years ago, owns a CF Moto 700 CL-X BECAUSE IT HAS CRUISE CONTROL and she can take her aching right hand off the bars. Introducing cruise control to the Fat Bob is a massive win for her and as soon as they arrive here, she'll be buying one. Love that Industrial Yellow on the Street Bob!! Something that has surprised me is the price for adding ABS. 950 bucks!!! That isn't buttering any kippers for me !!! Luckily everything we get here in OZ has ABS but no doubt we've paid for it in the RMSP.
Hi Simon. Thanks for watching all the way from Australia. Yes! It sounds like the cruise control on the fat bob is going to be a game changer for your wife. Enjoy!
where is the 2023 Street Glide CVO? surely it's not discontinued
Great catch on the Softail cruise control info. Last year HD advertised LEDs for the Fatboy bullet lights, but they were incandesant. I notice they make a point of advertising they are LED for 2023. Can you clarify?
That's satin chrome was a novelty but give good old cholo chrome any day...
That white sand pearl reminds me of Matt's old Street Glide , kinda makes you wonder if Matt will pull the trigger on that 2023 Road Glide St .
Simply thanks Matt ☺
Love the Billiard Blue with chrome Fat Boy. So glad the dished wheels have gone.
Satin chrome definitely , and bla bla colors I hope the anniversary models hopefully are better , Baja orange is really the only color I like !
So, the Street Bob does not come with cruise control? Or ABS?
Thank you for the info keep it coming
Thank you man you’re awesome I hope you have a good year you can stay in business

Happy new year to all at Laidlaws all the best for the comeing season. I must add that i would love to see a smaller version of the PA haveing bought one last year it can be a handfull in the dirt so a lighter mid class version would be great.
Yea, I think a lot of people are asking for that. Especially since that’s the flavor of the month in the ADV world right now. 100 pounds lighter makes a big difference off road. Personally I like a road bias bike because that’s the majority of my miles.
Any word on the Road King St
Clear & Concise = Authoritative. Like the new colours. I don’t get why H-D only have Low Riders in one other colour than black when you tell me they are so popular, seems strange.
I find that kinda strange as well. My best guess is that the lack of colors somehow play into the performance image of the bike. It would seem though that on a bike that sells a lot of units you’d offer a larger variety of colors. In the car world though, the top end performance stuff has few colors as well but I think those are also very limited production cars. 🤷♂️
Great informative video!!!
Thank you!
Very curious what's going on with the Nightster.
1250 option and TFT? I hate the way the RevMax sounds, but if they offered the Nightster with those two I might be able to get over it, especially in that new blue or gray. If it turns out to be a 500ci model or something like that, then yawn.
To me, "just a color" can make or break the bike (just like wheels). Sometimes, a small cosmetics adjustement can make a whole lot of difference. A good exemple is the new Low rider S with the meter being moved from the tank to the handle bar: tank= no buy, handlebar = buy. Just my personal taste!
Love all new colors but biggest disappointment was the ST. Why not put premium color on the best bike???
I hope someday they come out with a Road Glide trike
Getting rid of the sportster was a massive mistake. Harley has no entry bike that represents a true Harley style, look and sound. The Nightster is a Rebel just more expensive.
Cruise control standard?!?! Been waiting forever for the cruise control kit to restock for my 22 fxlrs!
Ugh, I hate that they're still going with the slotted wheels on the Fatboy instead of the solid lakesters. Also, the trailing wing on the HD logo does not look as good as the double wings the Fatboy had pre-2022. Hopefully, Harley changes it back soon
Wish they kept the sand white on the special glides
