The price increases are insane! I have no respect for dealerships that mark the bikes above MRSP

Oh yeah, I forgot they have been two different sizes. Making them the same size would balance out the look alittle

They’ve had the larger intakes but now it will be a high output 117. Thanks for watching!

Agreed

Sounds like a nice build

Thank you! I hope you're recovering well from your surgeries! Ride safe!

Those always make me smile for some reason

@gropplife I found a vin somewhere, and in the vin Decoder websites, it was showing that it is a 2025 road king police 😍

@@gropplife You shall keep the smile up after confirming the road king police

That would be cool but I think they keep the stereos just for touring and trikes :(

Definitely not that same bikes they were making in the 80s. You should go test ride one and see if you still feel the same way. Thanks for watching and ride safe!

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching!

Thanks for watching! Ride safe!

I agree! I loved my Road King, some of my best memories are from taking it cross country

Thanks for watching the video!

Nothing about HD is cheap and that’s to be expected. I just think unjustified price increases are dumb. Still gonna buy one though

Interesting

Doubtful but we’ll see

The headlight on that thing made night riding not scary. Definitely gonna avoid riding at dusk during rut ever again haha

I completely agree with you on both of those!

100% agree with you! The colors were all so bland

I agree on the crap paint choices. Looks like they made the primer coat the top coat. Very poor.

@ yeahhh…. kinda sad tbh plus there is no grey billiard ball so how is it billiard grey lol

@@Lee-em1lb HA...YEP

Ya I agree - definitely the worst year for paint in 2024 except the tobacco fade which I bought and love.

Now that is the true spirit of bikers that I have come to love since buying my first H-D! The culture and community around Harley is what makes me love it not just the bike. Ride your ride whatever that may be and enjoy being on two wheels. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Thank you!!!

Very true

Thank you!!!

Fingers crossed for a new RK! The FLHXU might be the new bike or one of them. Hearing there might be a couple of new models this years.

Android doesn't want to be on motorcycles, if it was up to Harley Android Auto would have been on the 24 bikes

Pretty sure we'll get a new deluxe this year but a new sportster would really nice!

I really think its just been super poor marketing for the Revmax lines that have made them so disliked. I'm slowly seeing the Knightster gain traction on youtube since Kruesi started stunting one. If HD came out the gate with a bunch of mods available for the line up they might do better. Thanks for watching!

@@gropplife I've said a million times, give me a pan am with all the Roadglide fairings and I'm in. Google dirt glide, a few people have converted them and it is sick

@@gropplife I've got the Nightster. It's a great little bike but the lack of mods whether Harley or aftermarket is really telling. I'd really love to get a Saddleman seat, but Saddleman doesn't make one for the Nightster. I do like it that Kruesi is developing some mods to make available, but I'm concerned that I'm not seeing much going on from Harley or other aftermarket manufacturers. As far as the not a real Harley crowd, I do get a kick out leaving their stage 2 117 behind as I take off from a stoplight.

Thank you so much!!!

I'd love to see a more traditional sportster return

Ouch! Glad I'm not in Canada then lol

A tariff only applies on products imported into the US, not the exports, unless Castro jr. puts a tariff in place.

@@slickar2752Looks like we will be paying more products mfg in Canada cause the tax will be passed on to the consumer.

Atleast it would look cool

I'm really hoping for a Road King upgrade and anxious to see what happens with the Low Rider ST

Heard 24 had issues. Especially the Road Glide. Would love to see a CVO Road King with 121. Have an 18 Road King 👑 Best bike ever 😎

@@darenc4459 there were no serious issues with 24 RGs mostly just user error with the new electronics and the one wiring recall. Other than that those bikes have been solid

@@gropplife i agreewith ya ! >>> N.W.GA. here >>riding '95 Road King <<<

Thank you! And thanks for watching!

I know alot of people that would love that!

I'm actually hearing from a lot of sources here in Michigan they are going to discontinue it and make add-on packages for now I'm hearing from the dealers here in Michigan

@harleyquebecenrevue I’ve heard from multiple extremely reliable sources, both the Ultra and Limited will “go away” and will be packages that can be added on to the standard SG and RG.

I'd be surprised if they are still around come Jan 24th, multiple reliable sources have told me they're going to be packages rather than their own model.

Let me ask you guys this. Take a SG or RG and add this add on touring kit, a seat, a windshield, suspension and all the other goodies, say $10,000 worth to make a Ultra Limited out of it. I ride the bike for 3 years and what do you think the trade in value will be on this SG/RG ? It will be the same as a strip stock SG or RG value. Accessories have NO VALUE on trade in. That means it will be a loss of $10k plus the bike depreciation value. Then I’m suppose to buy a new SG/RG plus another $10k add on kit which will have no value when I trade that bike in ? Really ? And you all think this brilliant strategy will get more customer to buy new bikes in the future ?? If the SG / RG Ultra Limited does not return, then that will be then end of Harley for me as I will of just had enough of them. My thinking is we might have either a SG or RG Ultra in 2025, maybe both but I doubt either or both will not return in 2025. We will all see how reliable your sources are in a months time. I’m betting HD marketing can’t possibly be wishing themself out of business that eagerly.

@ you make very good points and I can see why Ultra folks would be upset with the value not being there on the trade ins. Harley is just trying to slim there line up down. January 23rd will be an interesting day to see what happens with the Ultras.

You might be waiting a while, no need to punish yourself, the bikes are awesome!

If HD is profitable then the CEO is going nowhere anytime soon. It’s about profits for shareholders and that’s all that matters to HD Corporation.

2023 Base model RG started at $21,999 compared to 2024 $25,999

@@gropplife interesting, I had a base model and I paid MSRP and mine was 23.9k. And the 24's were most certainly 24.9k, I've worked at a dealer this year lol. I know what MSRP was on them. Grey with Chrome was/is 24.9k

@ I’m just getting my numbers straight off H-Ds website

@@gropplife That would be a good place to get them lol. I had no friggin clue I was hitting the 4 instead of the 5. you are correct they are 25.9k this year. My bad dude.

@ haha, all good bro! Have Happy New Year!!!

Those two own pretty much all the companies tbh

Thanks for watching!

Yes Honda really does. Thanks' for asking

The new RG and SG are really good bikes so hopefully they'll continue to improve the rest of the line up.

The Grom is awesome! So are the CBRs but Honda's cruiser line kinda sucks

Agreed. I’m thinking of replacing my HD with either a BMW, Honda, or Yamaha.

I agree that he has to go and HD needs to reverse his less bikes for more philosophy!

Just because the CEO sucks doesn't mean the bikes do....

@ never said they were bad bikes. But they are definitely OVERPRICED.

Yeah they are aliitle overpriced tbh

You're alright dude 100 miles an hour is plenty fast enough

And for young folks hoping to enter the brand, talk to us when you're done with Med School or pass the BAR... in the meantime, enjoy your import bike.

Soooo who are you referring to as posers????

Well is wasn't until the 24 RG that i realized 112 speed limiter could piss me off so much hahaha

That is the real sad part, there is no real entry level Harley for the next generation to start with.

Thanks for watching!

How can the Breakout have less tech. It literally just is an aircooled engine with ABS, unadjustable suspension and minimal instrumentation. There’s no tech on this bike anyway.

@@Helmigurt Sure it is shirley for sure.

Unfortunately I fear the days of simple motorcycles has passed us just like the days of simple cars

Ooooo Road King CVO would be sweet

@@gropplife CVO=fool's purchase.

That would be pretty cool. It's only been what, 10 years since the RK got any love with the CVO treatment? Also, HD missed a huge opportunity to launch a mid-year RK with the new styling and engine for 2024 and with it, a 30-year anniversary model. That would've been fantastic! But here we are, and regardless, I'll be glad to see the return of the King in its new incarnation for 2025. I feel that it's inevitable.

@ yeah I think the last RK CVO was in 2014 if I remember correctly

@ just depends on how far you plan to modify your bike and what you’re doing with it in general. I used to feel he same way but after experiencing a few CVOs I understand why someone would pay the extra

I agree that they’ll be the same but I doubt the CVO ST will be a one year only bike

I think there would be a lot of upset people if the revmax ended up in the low rider s/st hahaha. The only market I’ve heard the revmax bike do well in is Asia. It’s really not a bad motor just not mated with an exciting bike. Though the knightster to me is underrated and feels like there is a lot of potential there, especially after watching Krusei originals. Thanks for watching and commenting!

I had a Sportster S and changed to a Low Rider ST because I wanted to tour a bit more and the Sportster S was too small for me (187 cm with 105 kgs). I can sit on the LRST the whole day and the 117 Milwaukee 8 is lovely but I do miss the brutal power of the Rev Max 1250 quite often. It’s a beast and the Rev Max bikes are definitely underrated. I was quite happy with the resale value of the Sportster S though. I don’t think the Rev Max engine would fit the Low Rider but a Harley „Supercruiser“ based on the Rev Max would spank the ugly Buell project.

made in "offshore".

@gropplife What could also be an option is a CVO Sportster S with the 150 hp high output RevMax and upgraded suspension and brakes.

@@michaelfinck6945 china

I have seen that too, but since releasing this video I have heard that it might be something alittle more special but again I could be wrong and the ultra/limited are staying. We’ll know for sure January 23rd by the end of the day.

Yesterdays technology at tomorrows prices!

They ain't cheap but they're worth it!

@@gropplife myth

just my opinion bro
