Best bike in the Harley Line up!

[@AussieFloydFan2012]

Really nice review. Here’s a little bit of info from my experience. I let loose of my 2012 Limited back in March. Regretted it until I test rode the ‘21 Heritage. Bought the ‘21 FLHCS on July 26,2021. Absolutely love everything about it. Very easy to ride. A bit of helmet buffeting as I am 5’7. Added lots of mod already. The J&E Custom lowers helped a bit, then I added a Rckless Motorcycles Fairing/Batwing. Still a tad bit of buffeting. May need to go with a taller windscreen on the fairing. Just got it back from a Stage 2 upgrade. Can’t wait to check it out after the rain goes away. Probably didn’t need the upgrade as the power to weight ratio is insane. The M8 114 is packed with plenty of power for the average rider. If you test ride it, you will buy it.

[@johnmatero234]

Had a 2019 Heritage with the 107 and my only complaint was the buffeting. That said, I traded it in for a 2021 Road Glide and regret it… biggest mistake in 35 years of buying vehicles. And frankly, I’m about ready to take the hit and trade back to a new Heritage.

[@3ruffians10]

I had the same problem with buffeting but solved it out after a series of test and combinations. The 2 biggest things I did was added lower fork deflectors and added a vent in the shield. Once you allow some air to pass through and get rid of that void behind the shield you are all good. I have 0 buffeting up to 80+ mph

[@mbeck9680]

@@3ruffians10 Did you purchase a windshield with a vent? I have the lower deflectors on my 2021 Heritage Classic 114. The vent sounds interesting.

[@3ruffians10]

@@mbeck9680 no, I purchased a vent from Amazon and put it in myself as a test. I works great!! Clearview makes a vented windshield if you want to buy one already installed.

I have a 2018 Heritage in Vivid Black that I really enjoy riding. For being my first Harley, I feel that I made the right choice. It feels comfortable riding it, and my wife rides with me most of the time. I purchased a more comfortable seat for her and half moon foot boards, and she’s a lot more comfortable riding with me.

[@GARamblinMan]

I bought a 2020 Heritage about a year ago and love it. I did the Stage 1 upgrade with Vance & Hines Eliminator 300 slip ons and the Screaming Eagle tuner and it’s awesome. Just all around great bike. Good for light touring weekend trips and much lighter than the big touring baggers. Very happy with it. Good review and ride safe.

[@MyMotorcycleObsession]

Right on!

[@anthonynichols3678]

Add whitewalls and that color combo is perfect!

[@drsmith751]

Have a 2019 20k miles, it’s a great bike very versatile and handles great.

[@MyMotorcycleObsession]

Right on!

[@donaldduck2405]

This review is one of the best on this bike.The 2019 FLHCS is my first Harley, and my first ride in 30 years.Don't feel bad, when time for the ride home from SoCal to SF. I didn't know how to start it. When I left I popped the clutch making that tire spin.

[@ThePNWRiderWA]

It’s is IMO the best of the soft tails for most riders. I worked at a HD dealership before and as a result ride many bikes. The heritage just fits. I had a 19 with the torque cam it was a great ride. I know have the roadglide limited as I am doing more two up and the touring frame is better for that. But it’s a beast at low speeds at over 900 pounds.

[@2wheeltommy996]

Best all around Harley out there. City, day trips, or overnight trips. Will do it all. Plus it looks classic, which is rad.

[@geraldgoodiii6993]

I beg to differ sir The road king is the best all arounder Actually theh really both are. I love the heritage. I liked the prior design tho. With the studded bags

[@chromesporty4984]

Last spring I ordered a Lowrider ST only to be put on this big waiting list. As I was discussing with the sales rep they rolled a Heritage Special out of the shop. It caught my eye and I bought it on the spot. BTW....Glad I did. It can be set up as solo, 2 up, with rack and back rest that just clicks off. The windshield comes off and on in seconds. Great for cleaning as well. It can be anything you want it to be from setup for shopping with the wife to a cool solo setup for bike night. BTW I installed fork deflectors. Takes the little wind there was out of your face. Amazing.

[@robertjeffery6100]

Thinking of buying one of these thanks for the review

[@MyMotorcycleObsession]

Glad I could help!

[@laraguerra1]

You will love it guaranteed

[@tommygunnzz1261]

I just bought one, I absolutely LOVE it

[@MyMotorcycleObsession]

Awesome!

[@paulfreire7477]

I ride a '06 Deluxe and have a low seat by design. I have been looking for a second bike and have always loved the Heritage, so I went to check one out at the local dealer. I was shocked at how low the seat is! I was able to flat foot easily, and it really felt comparable to my Deluxe. I believe I won't have the buffeting you mentioned as I am only 5'6" (but I identify over 6'). I need to drive one so I can compare the old frame setup to the new one, as well as the handlebar vibration you mentioned - thanks for your video, it was informative!

[@josephgriffin1065]

I am 5,4”, buffeting was terrible, have used the Memphis shades extension and all but eliminated the buffeting, I didn’t like looking through that at night, so I modified some wind deflectors from the previous generation softail, and it is comparable to the extension

[@trav6512]

It really does seem like a pretty good bike all around I would go for it and I can't wait to see the trike video you been taking about I've herd they r way harder to steer than a regular 2 wheel bike but never actually been up close and personal with one to find out for myself

[@scottiescott9297]

Nice review on an amazing bike!! Bro, your voice is smooth and sounds like you could do some play-by-play sports commentating. Thanks for the cool video!!

[@MyMotorcycleObsession]

Glad you liked my video! 👍

[@anthonyresto8596]

Nice review my friend, no disrespect meant but bikes can only be ridden not driven. 👍

[@markgiles8527]

I do like the HD Heritage but I don’t know what to think about whether their worth the $37995 price tag or not. A 2022 Suzuki Hayabusa is priced at $27790. The Heritage is $10000 more. The Suzuki comes under the title of Ultimate Sport on the Suzuki Website. Which is like saying as of 2022 this is about as technologically advanced as it gets. And under agreement with manufacturers this bike is electronically limited to 300 KPH. So it’s a beast. Let’s not even get into other specs. About the only thing going for the HD is it’s Heritage and it’s looks and comfort. So why $10000 more than a modern bike? And let’s not compare new car prices to a motorbike. HD motorcycle are so over-priced it makes it makes wanting to buy one difficult. Is that why they are over-priced? Because if you really want one you’ll pay the price?

[@wooddawg4868]

In my opinion the Heritage Classic would be the perfect bike to start with the installation of the Revolution Max platform.

[@jenksvh1]

Pretty nice….

[@TheNostorian]

It's really stupid. That when it comes to the Heritage. I dont want the 107. 114 only! But the bike i want is the Sport Glide. Wich is only a 107. Must be a dumb ego thing i wasnt even aware of i had.

[@richardanderson4916]

I put mashed potatoes in the microwave. There was a pizza button on the front. I pushed pizza but it still came out mashed potatoes. WTF?
