Great video, thank-you 😎

Someone help me find a 23/24 in the US!!! I want one ❤

For the last 20 years I have ridden base model HD’s that I purchased new, a 2005 Sportster and a 2007 Dyna FXD, great no nonsense/no frills bikes. I recently went to a dealership to check out a Softail Standard, pretty much their base/cheapest air cooled Vtwin in their current line up … I knew the MSRP from the HD website so was shocked when I saw the price tag on the bike at the dealership … the dealer mark up was ridiculous, turned around and walked out. Goodbye HD, hello Kawasaki Z900rs.

If your boys ever want to sell one of those 24 models, please let me know! I want one!!

I bought a metric bike 1700, air cooled, bagger, sounds damn close to a Harley...and I never looked back. Idc if thr purist look upon me wuth disgust...😅😅😅

I've always bought used metric cruisers. Recently picked up a gorgeous Yamaha Royal Star Venture with 40k miles on it for $3,800. I've never wanted a Harley, never will. Couldn't care less where a motorcycle is made. For me it's all about bang for buck and used metrics are exactly that.

I love the tri glide ultra. Without that there is nothing of interest. My knees can't handle a two wheel. And most of these electric models have a lousy range so an electric tri glide is not very likely. This is a plan that may end up killing the brand entirely. Expanding the electric models is one thing, but dropping what you are famous for in favor of something that is likely going to alienate your long time customers is deadly. This is going too far. Going from road glides, ultra limiteds and tri glide ultras to smaller eco boxes has little appeal.

Our Family is OF the demographic you speak of; blue collar H-D people from back into the 70s, live less than 40 miles from the MKE factory. Cut to the chase: if you were NOT paying attention to what H-D did to Eric Buell, because you were not "a Buell rider" then it's on you. The TRUTH of the recent H-D fiascos, still developing, is in/of their financing divisions and processes; fraud. Less than 80 miles from here over a half dozen LEGACY dealerships were shut down, some of them by the FBI; paper crimes in their finance people. It's become such a MASSIVE paper laundering scheme that you cannot imagine, except to see the crash in the pricing fr the stealerships left to liquidate the bikes from those being forced into closures. It's astounding. Those "premiums" people pay NEVER go to MKE MoCo, they are 100% pocketed by the stealerships, with teh stealers of course blaming MKE for those "fees". We just went through the same process buying a quad from Can-Am/BRP: one stealer claimed their 13% mark-up was on the BRP mother ship!? No, another dealer which is closer to our home had no such "fees"! It's a disease of greed in the industry, one we experienced first-hand with BMW 15 years ago, when we actually needed our Legal services involved, to have them do a TSB recall service for faulty fuel cells and pumps on their 650 GS line. In the upper MW there is NOT a single BMW dealership we could recommend. Not ONE!

Great bike, i'm from europe ✌️

Good afternoon. Thank you for sharing this information. I'm 80yrs old i love what you are saying about this bike. It's my first and last i wanted this bike 42yrs ago. Im going to do me now. And Happy Thanksgiving to you and family. And all Holidays. You put hope in my heart ❤️. T/U.

I will just buy a used one. Problem solved.

Does anyone know if you can fit the 2024 quick shifter onto the 2020

Thanks for the video .. i wander if 2024 models same way ?

:07 lithium ion Phosphate. What about LiFePO4, Lithium Iron Phosphate. I guess you just used the wrong word in your introduction.

H-D has a problem but it's not what you think. My wife forced me to go to the casino a few days ago. It's not my thing but while I was there I did a lot of people watching. I saw a lot of Harley T-shirts. All these Tee are being sported by old guys. These were guys in wheel chairs or chain smokers that didn't look too healthy. I dawned on me that rather than a brand of youthful rebellion, Harley is now a geriatric symbol of past glory. I am not sure that this look is doing them any favors. Now you can see why they desperately want the woke crowd.

55 years old over 40 motorcycles, I’ve never had a lithium battery. The only real advantage would be weight savings. I’m not gonna go into all the technical reason as to why you shouldn’t use a lithium battery in a motorcycle. Outside of a few exceptions of manufacturers, but those batteries are in the neighborhood of $700. Anyways, I just picked up a replacement AGM for my 2020 Indian challenger. I bought the bike brand new five years ago and I am just now replacing the stock battery. Furthermore, I live in Southeast Florida where batteries don’t last long. However, if you maintain the battery properly using the trickle charger, and in my case, Garage kept. I generally get between 3 1/half and six years out of every single AGM battery in the last 20 years, so again, the weight savings versus all other bullshit, not worth it. This is all just my opinion & my personal experience. Duracell AGM from batteries plus with warranty, plus they are brick and Mortor stores everywhere, so if you ever have a problem, stop in any store and they replace it for free. With coupon code $109 out the door ordered it online picked it up 11 minutes later.

9:04 Harleys used to be heirloom bikes i still have my granddads shovel he saved for years to buy my first harley was a 73 ironhead that came in boxes its the pride of building an old lf harley thats missing i am not a rich man but i have all older bikes that all run well and will take me and the wife anywhere we want and i can do my own work on any of them in our collection

HARLEY DAVIDSON IS JUNK

Reminds me Avalanche HD

You can bypass the bms and charge manually to get voltage up and then charge it normally. Don't need to reset anything, once the voltage is back up you won't have issue. Can also get voltage up with another battery to bypass the bms. Connect them in parallel . Also you should get a battery with minimum 480 cranking amps to ensure you get 300 Cold cranking amps for those winter days that you run your Harley just to clean out the pipes while parked. Won't take 8 mins anymore.

I have only ever seen and experienced this sort of "hiding the price" sketchy-ness from Harley dealers. Lost all interest in buying one now, ended up just getting a Suzuki instead.

I recently purchased a 2024 SV650 a few months ago and I love it. Not only is it the perfect commuter bike but it does a good job of keeping up with highway speeds. I know many would disagree but for solo riding, the SV all the bike most would ever need.

I bought a NOCO NLP20 and its garbage. I installed the battery and it cranked up perfect. I let the bike sit for 8 days on a NOCO genius 10 lithium battery trickle charger and without a charger. On the 8th day the battery trickle charger went from fully charged to 0 (red) and it was bouncing from red 0 to orange 1 back to red 0 etc...The battery voltage was not detectable. The BMS failed and the charger has no BMS reset yet both are NOCO. Honestly, its disappointing considering the battery is brand new. In any event, I jump started the battery with a battery pack and had to use the "boost" feature because the battery voltage was undetectable. After it starts its perfectly charged just can't let it sit for 8 days on a charger or off a charger.

2019 and 2020 FXDR 114 is the fastest!!! 2.5 sec 0-60 with a top speed of 160.

The HD Board of Directors has been woke for years. Screw em

They tried to go woke too.

I know no one talks about that year Porsche built a motor for Harley..I had a friend just had to have one. It sounds like a Porsche..he said he had drag pipes to put on. It sounds like a Porsche with bad mufflers 😅😂😂

I had a 750 cruiser and totally agree I’m 54 and got rid of the cruiser. I really want a sport. Maybe 400-600 bike? 5 8’ 190lbs.

Use aluminum foil to cover the pipes before removing the filter.

I tried that last year and blew a fuse. Then I had to have it towed to the dealer to fix. It cost more than the oil change. 🤮🤮🤮

The fuel capacity is a deal breaker for me.

Easy to work out who the Customers are ....

🙂👍.

I have bought 3 motorcycles for msrp from Deluxe Harley in Wyoming don’t know for sure if they still do.

I'm 72, American veteran, been riding since '72, never wanted a Harley.

Did the 24 get the active suspension from the GT+?

Im 6’8 what is the riding position on this and would it fit taller riders?

I wish they had put the original style fairing on it~ it was a great feature of the older Katanas.

i 'get' tradition...but come'on...who wants to ride a 1910 harley every day? too expensive? Says who? if they're selling then they're not too expensive. Just too expensive for the WHINERS. I bought a harley 2 weeks ago - $1200. cleaned the carb and it's running like new, 11k miles and mint condition. If 30k, 40k is too much then don't buy it...when sales stop they'll have to adjust. As for HD selling other things...so what? If they're selling what YOU want to buy, then what do you care if they sell e-bikes or dirt bikes, etc? They sell a lot of clothing...nobody complains that their a t-shirt company trying to sell bikes. If they quit trying to put their name on EVERYTHING (mirror stems, headlight castings, tires) they could drop tehir prices A LOT. I worked in an import bike shop for 10 years and none of the oriental imports do this. Is that why nobody gets honda tattoos maybe? LOL In the 70s we had an AMF tractor...biggest piece of junk ever. I have a 'harley boat', well, HD edition because AMF owned a boat maker. AMF was goofy

Know nothing about brands eh? If Louis Vuitton makes cheap stuff for a cheap market it kills their whole brand. So, if you want the fun and sexy, you gotta pay to play. No chart is fixin that.

Very informative video. I couldn't be happier with my 2018 Honda Goldwing DCT, which I bought new in January of 2019. 73,000 and 30 States later, I love this motorcycle. Truly the best bike for long-distance cruising IMHO.

Fire the Camera guy..

Cycletron, Do you have a penis????

28 here, bigger guy. I have the '24 GT+ with full exhaust and a Moore tune. Absolutely happy with it. The fact that its a sport tourer keeps the rates down, but its still an absolute maniac of a supercommuter.

AMF tookover or merged with Harley-Davidson in 1966,it took them two years to put AMF on the gas tank because of not knowing how it was going to received by the public,how do I know? I was there!

I bought a 07 softail custom new in 07. I looked on Harleys website got the price and then contacted my local dealer in jasckson ,ms .it was same price as advertised on Harleys website ... they asked how I was gonna pay.. I replied I need the price out the door and I'll take it to my own financial institution....that's how my exsperiance at my harley happened, now that was in 07. So things could have changed.....I'm gonna look at Harleys website and pick a bike then call my local harley to see if things have changed ....

My first bike was a '63 XLCH, purchased in '67 for $600' when I got out of the service. I've owned numerous bikes since and currently ride a '98 Shadow 1100 ACE. Most Harley riders won't exchange a wave,.......But I still stop and offer help when they're broke down. I can afford a new Harley..............But I can't afford the culture. (The Sportster was my one and only HD)

Harley's only for the rich even though they're made in Thailand not USA. According to South Park they're fags.... leather wearing homosexuals just like

Luckily it’s not happening in the UK. Some of the Dealers sound like crooks in the USA. Walk away tell them to get stuffed!😮😮

Most Harley dealers want to suck you in and get you deeply under water ASAP with the extended service program, fees, ridiculous financing, accessory add-ons, etc. I only buy toys like motorcycle with cash, which Harley dealers make no money on and don't even want to do, because they know they can sell the bike to another customer and make a lot more profit than selling it to me for cash. I would not buy a Harley from a dealer except at "MSRP" dealers, and there a very few of those left these days. Most dealers rip you off and get you committed to an insane total investment for many years that you can't get out of. It's all just a big shell game, and the customer ALWAYS LOSES!
