3,000 Mile Test Ride | Official Review | 2024 Road Glide

3,000 Mile Test Ride. Official Review. 2024 Road Glide Harley-Davidson let me take their brand new, 2024 Road Glide on a cross country motorcycle trip. So technically I test road this new bike for 3,000 miles. Owning a 2018 Road Glide, I was so excited to see and feel the differences between the two machines. This video expresses my personal thoughts and opinions. Let me know in the comments if you have any questions! And checkout the videos of riding this bike across the country!

[@Kreigmstr]

I took one out last weekend when the Demo trailer was at Seminole H-D. I absolutely loved it as well. It felt more nimble and has significantly better throttle response than my 22 RG Special. Even in street mode. I like how the base model has all of the tech that's built into mine. I'd like to have one. Or the CVO ST. :D The Android auto thing is a problem for me though. I've heard others say that it wasn't supported. And the Motor Co said that Google isn't going to support 2 wheeled vehicles or something like that. That's disappointing. As I use it for Nav and music when I'm riding. And it was a significant factor in my decision against going to a Challenger/Pursuit during Biketoberfest last year. I don't want to switch phones either. I have a real problem with Apple as a company. But that's a different tech related conversation. :D Anyway!! Thanks for the Review Jess.

[@Thenvisibleman]

Brilliant Crossroad trip video I felt bad for you out there glad you made it

[@leedanielson7452]

Jess I really think HD should gift you this bike.... Look at the tons of great publicity and exposure Harley Davidson would get....😊❤

You think there’s no “give me” here from HD?

[@leedanielson7452]

@@chiefjoseph8154 HD can do it!!!

[@mattbroussard7409]

The cross country trip is pretty awesome of them to do. I know it was because of the insane weather in California but letting someone ride a brand new model that just came out 3k miles is pretty awesome. Maybe they can make some kind of awesome trade deal and give a massive discount so she can get for just a few grand? She is definitely selling some bikes with these videos.

[@leedanielson7452]

@@mattbroussard7409 No doubt about that!!! Good points...

It’s only money…what could go wrong 😳

[@OverlandUSAHD]

Just bought the same bike. Same color and added the CVO heated grips, stage II speakers in the fairing and saddlebags, Krome Werks exhaust among other things. Waiting for Klock Werks to come out with a windshield for it. Taking delivery tomorrow.

[@danwilson7581]

Man absolutely my hero! Just how I want one. Although I might add a mustang seat

[@chiefjoseph8154]

I have the Challenger, haven’t had to add a thing. The adjustable windshield is awesome, now what to do with all those HD parts I have???

[@FullTankAdventures]

Congrats!

[@SeeStacyRide]

I had the same plans. 100k or more on my 19 RG. Said it over and over and over to everyone saying I had too many miles on it and time for a new one. Then the 24 Sharkskin RG came out. Guess the 24 will have to see 100k!

[@DyinG_BreeD_MediA]

If you go to the audio settings. Then the EQ settings. Go down to the bottom to custom. From there you can turn up mids highs and turn down bass levels to get a louder sound. I myself had this issue and even though it's not great ,it's way better than before.

[@HerTwoWheels]

I’ll give it a try! Thanks!

[@shawnmaxwell1221]

That’s why I don’t go look at bikes too often, because I will want to buy things that I can’t afford right now. I have been really tempted to go look at the new road Glide now that it’s liquid cooled. But now it’s a choice between the Indian Challenger and the Road Glide for me in about 5 years 😅

I have a 2019 RGU that just got a zippers 468 cam. This has made it feel like a new bike. The cam isn't as peppy on the high end as yours but is perfect at slow skills practice and in the sweet spot for touring. Im slowly getting use to the new look but still like mine better.

Hi Jess, I'm test riding the same bike but the dealership in the UK hasn't got it in yet. Watched tons of reviews on this bike so far and yours is the most useful in terms of what I want, doing miles !!! You are straight forward and honest, exactly what is needed. Thanks so much. Maybe bye bye to my totally loved Road King 😪

My club brother just got one, told me to look it up! I crashed my 2008 SG in August, and got a 2015 RGS . The difference in acceleration & torque is crazy, anyway said all that to say this you got a new sub off that giggle of pure enjoyment when you put it in sport mode!

Another awesome video, Jess . Wow you have a hard decision. I was thinking that new bike is going to grow on you when I was watching one of your videos of you going cross country, oh man . I bet it was like when I went on vacation with my family and we rented a new version of my truck and then we come back off vacation and at the airport on the way home I go , oh man my truck even feels old now it doesn’t have all the new charging ports built in , but totally before the trip I’m like my truck top notch. Blah blah blah … 😂😂😂 That rental maid me say , Yeah Right. So I can’t wait to see what you end up doing. It would be cool if Harley maybe even gave you a great deal for it. Would love to see what mods you would do to Appa 2.0 !!! Keep the videos coming !!!

[@bluegem6559]

Hey Jess. Just do it. You only go around once in life and you can’t take it with you. The worst thing to carry is regret. A just to show I back my words. I got one and I love it. 😮. Ride safe sister

[@BJsExcellentAdeventures]

Nice critique. Looking forward to your meet & greet at Daytona!

[@HerTwoWheels]

Can't wait!

[@rice8113]

Did you make sure your phone volume was turned all the way up? There has been so many times when I get on the highway and can't hear my music then remember to max my phone volume as well as the bike volume which then fixes it. I'm sure you know but just incase you don't there you go. If you did have both devices maxed in volume I'm glad to hear your feedback. People may need to upgrade the speakers and/or get a taller windshield.

[@BigTpowerwashing]

I have a 2016 Road Glide Special and the GPS is horrible. How is the 2024 GPS and better? May have to pull the trigger and get the new one..Thanks for a great video as always

[@robbenjaminshadow]

Love the video. You gave your honest opinion on the bike. I noticed that the display was blinking. I'm not sure if it was constanly blinking.

[@thevoiceinmyhelmet3827]

Such a great time to be able to enjoy riding these wonderful bikes these days ! Yep there is no perfect motorcycle , just the one that fits you perfectly , I ride a Goldwing and she fits me , but she’s not perfect , still love her , thanks for what you do !👍😎

[@HerTwoWheels]

Couldn't agree more!

[@johnthomure6060]

I traded my paid off 2023 Road Glide for a 2024 two weeks ago. I love it! I agree about the speakers and the kill switch. It took me a few seconds to figure out why it shut off at 70 mph. The left fairing pocket also popped open once on the interstate. I have to disagree about the seat, though. I'm 5'11", and 230lbs. After 30 minutes I was uncomfortable. At a little over 100 miles, I really wanted a break. Still, I love this thing, and can't wait to put some more miles on it.

[@HerTwoWheels]

Congrats on the new bike! Even though I found the seat to be the best stock seat i’ve ever experienced, i would totally still upgrade it 😅

[@marybethcleveland8945]

@johnthomure6060, how did you get treated on your trade of your 2023? I’m im the same boat and curious what numbers folks are getting.

[@johnthomure6060]

@marybethcleveland8945 My 2023 was the base model ( not even ABS). It wasn't as much as I hoped, but they did remove the "Market Adjustment " off the price. I knew I was going to take a hit, but it wasn't unbearable. And I really love the new one.

[@unklfrsh6447]

I bought my '21 RGS in Billiard Teal after I saw your test ride of that bike. I really like the new dash in this bike, but I'm sad that they took away Android Auto. I'm sure the 117 is great. There is much talk in the HD circles about making your bike truly yours. Ironically, HD has done this for me by eliminating the Road Glide Special, and removing Android Auto on the new bikes. The sharkskin blue is a really good color... but maybe not as good as the teal. I've never been more motivated to keep my current bike, and dig deeper into modification. Thanks for your content, and for what you do in this community. :)

[@HerTwoWheels]

Unfortunately Harley has nothing to do with the android auto thing. Been seeing it track back to Google. Still aggravating though!

[@FreewheelerLover]

Maybe HD Corporate may work a good deal for you. Giving them lots of great and honest publicity. Would definitely get a taller, flaired windshield for the buffeting though. Would the Appa sofa seat fit the new bike or would this not be Appa 2.0? You rode a lot of miles on a Harley seat and were not in pain. That's impressive.

[@tedmiller8498]

Totally awesome 👌

[@brandescm]

That white paint is awesome in person!

[@HerTwoWheels]

I’ve been calling it “Mentos White” because it is the whitest white on a bike I have EVER SEEN! 😂

[@pcthayer]

Thanks for the review on the great Harley. After putting so many miles on the bike in so many different types of weather and still saying you would like to own that bike is quite a testiment. (Hopefully folks can go and buy that bike at MSRP and not be abused at the dealerships with exorbinant markups like in the past.)

[@chublez]

They can if people just refuse to pay markups. That's all that has to happen. No one pay it. They'll sell at MSRP soon enough.

[@pcthayer]

Seeing you at the park blockhead used to do his reviews at was really cool. I’ve actually taken my mom to that park to show her the peacocks and the pavilion across the street. Also took her on the wildlife trail so she could see gators. That road you were on is like one of 3 twisty roads in the whole area. There weren’t as many houses there when I lived in Orlando. You popped out onto 441/OBT where I used to drive link 44 bus route. I did like 103…kph…yea….kph 😂 on that section of 414 you were on. Cool to see you out there.

[@jasonholby8915]

Google dropped android auto support for motorcycles in 2024. There's nothing Harley Davidson could do about that. I use Apple CarPlay for Spotify and navigation in my truck, car, and motorcycle and don't understand why Google dropped support for all but cars and trucks. There is probably an aftermarket gizmo that you could use to stream Spotify without using CarPlay. The bike comes standard with RDRS and linked brakes.
