@El_Peto There are probably more high mileage Harley-Davidson's that any other brand. If you have an actual source for that statement other than "trust me bro" I would be interested to see it. And, your feelings don't count as a source. No market share in which market and compared to what?

@El_Peto HD's problem is that they painted themselves into a corner back in the 1970s. Instead of bragging about their motorcycles, the ad campaigns were playing up the "outlaw" image to potential buyers. As a result, when they tried to develop new bikes, they didn't sell because they didn't go with the image that their buyers had of themselves. At the same time, the average age of HD owners was going up. Most younger riders want more modern bikes. This means that the dental hygenists and bookkeepers who bought them a couple of decades ago are aging out of riding (or breathing), and the kids and grandkids who inherit the Harleys aren't interested. They put them on the market, and discover that they are only worth a fraction of the price of a new one, so they cut the prices to get rid of the damn things. Ironically, the people who DO want one know that today's HD is pretty much the 1972 HD, so they save $20K buying one at an estate sale. This means that they AREN'T buying new ones, which is why HD is feeling the pinch.

I am from Belgium and own a 2016 Electra-Glide Police, and I did a 120.000 km on it so far .I bought it brand new, had a problem with the rear wheel bearings at 50.000 km, on my way to Portugal, and change the front wheel brake discs at 100.000km. Next month I go to Spain on it and to the superrally in the Czech Republic, and in August going to Scotland. It,s a graet bike for me.

Typically they'll turn away older bikes because Harley-Davidson requires the dealerships to charge around $250/hr labor. I had a 30 year old Dyna Low Rider and the dealer mechanic said he could work on it, but he didn't want to charge me out the ass cuz corporate calls them "vintage" and heavily marks up labor for it.

I thank you kindly, Doodle. I worked at a Harley dealership in 1989-1990 and we serviced the local Ontario Provincial Police bikes. I thought about buying one as an apprentice mechanic. Your concise observations on riding and working one one made me realize they might still be an option for me. I was curious after watching you service the head gasket on that one. I wondered how your ride went. Your videos are very informative, and I'm grateful for all the efforts you put into helping riders. Keep it up, and keep it upright, my friend!

However, they have a large used inventory with many bikes in there that are more than ten years old, and they are happy to sell you one of those! (I don't go there anymore)

As having a 20 yr old HD, it really depends on the dealer for service. It's recommended against because most dealers have young techs who can't do them. But you can find ones with older techs who knows twin cams are still twin cams. Also there's more than plenty of local mom & pop shops who will work on the old bikes all the time, and likely be someone like the Bearded Mechanic. I personally feel like ride what ya want. But unless it has warranty, I don't see a need to take it to dealerships for how expensive they are, lol

Just a thought, if you have a chance, try a Honda ST1300. Nothing against the HD, just sharing an experience. It is a sport touring bike and it is a little on the heavy side, a little over 700 lbs wet, not including luggage. However, after seeing you handle big motorcycles, I don't think that is going to be an issue for you. Adjustable seat to three positions, so it can be lowered for shorter riders. It is comfortable in long rides and if it has the factory top box, plenty of storage. 7.7 gal tank that can give you ranges of over 300 miles before having to refuel. I took mine from Knoxville to Key West with my wife, camping and we were able to fit our luggage for two for a week, camping gear, tent, cots, cooking gear, matress, chairs, blankets, etc. and everything fit in the side bags and top box. of course, we shopped wisely, looking for gear that could pack very small. I had a tank bag and that was it. no extra back packs or anything like that. She handles like a dream, you can check tons of videos and reviews on that. I bought mine in 08 and still looks new and after all these years still turn heads :-) May not have the latest electronics but I did upgrades that I thought were very important which makes her more comfortable, like cruise control, most have for long trips, and heated grips for cold days. You can get caught in a down pour and as long as you can keep a constant speed of over 65 mph, you will not get wet at all. Excelent bike even today!

Enjoying your content, I purchased my 2018 FLHTK, I financed it from a wholesale dealer in New Hampshire. Not a horrible experience, but not one without its challenges. This would be a good episode to try to shoot. They don't allow you to test ride the bikes, as they do all the test drives themselves. It really does challenge the senses and your maintenance knowledge (This is not for the faint of heart!) I've had to replace both my tires after getting a good report on the tires that came with the bike (tested for depth not cupping or other defects). when you let go of the handlebars the bike went into a wobble (another expensive neck bearing repair) and the normal full 10K service. The paperwork was a nightmare and seemed more like a hurried checklist... my bike has the M8 motor and the dealers tech sheet stated it changed both spark plugs... well if you know you know, the M8 has 4 plugs. All said and done, I put an extra 2K into my new bike which sold at $16,999.00 for decent deal and an otherwise decent bike. But buyer beware and know how to go. If you want to PM me I'll share the well know dealership name.

I bought a 2020 FLHTP at then still Bruce Rossmeyer in 2022 during biketoberfest (saw you Sunday morning in the hotel cafeteria doing video editing) and rode it home to Raleigh. I bought it because it had 6.800 miles only, came with the 114 Police motor, RDRS, fan assisted oil cooler and heated grips. The price was way below a comparable Street Glide. Added led lights all around and low laying license plate mount. TAB performance 2-1-2 headers with 4.5" mufflers and DK Custom transformer with hi flow air cleaner and FP4 for stage 1. Now I dropped in a Soundstream head unit with Hertz speakers from Volunteer Audio for 1.5k. had to de-police the bike to make all thumb controls work but aside from that, the bike is perfect and I saved a big chunk of money . Based on my experience I can only recommend to go this route as it saves you a lot of money and you get a bike that rides awesome.

Never leaked, never broke down, just regular oil changes, 1 primary chain, and I installed a screamin' eagle carb on it. Fantastic bike but I don't race ninjas anymore, so no need for a sportster anymore, I prefer the old lowriders and electraglide sport models now as I'm older and enjoy the ride and scenery more than anything nowdays👍👍💯

I own a 2008 Electra Ultra Classic Peace Officer model. The first year for the fly by wire controls, last year before they switched to the wider frame. And, it being the 100th Anniversary Police edition. It came with the raised HD Police Badge on the front fender. I now have over 113k miles on it. I live in Florida and it is my stress relief vehicle. Grab a cigar, get on the road, ride along A1A when I can. As far as a Police model, I did see some new ones for sale at a Harley dealer years ago. It was still the basic bike with the controls for a police bike, but no cherries and berries, no police radio and no siren. But I did like the bicycle seat for it, and the knobs on the saddle bags for easy reach.

I have a 2009 Police Road King. I love it. Our local PD gets them blacked out, no badges except a small reflected bar and shield on the side covers.

In 2010, I bought a 2006 FLHPI, the maintenance records were perfect, bike had low miles and was a trade from a local police department, that was a great bike.

Thanks for a great video I find that the most comfortable seats are "saddles" where a fair portion of the upper leg is supported in a close to horizontal orientation "RUSSEL DAY LONG SADDLE(S) " ARE AWESOME !!!

I have an 07 Road King police in exactly the color you picked to demonstrate it! Had it about a year now and absolutely love it. It already had the police seat swapped for some cheap thing though, so I had to upgrade to a nicer aftermarket one. Go buy an ex-cop bike people! They’re usually a screaming deal on top of being really nice.

Just bought a 2021 FLHTP with working red and blues and Siren (which I will NOT be using on the street) as a commuter bike after a lifetime of Hondas (still have a Golding and a Valkyrie)...takes some getting used to but I'm having a lot of fun in the transition...the bike is in absolutely perfect condition and I got it for a price that was amazing to say the least...from an H-D dealer at that... we'll see how things go from here but so far I have no complaints...Ride safe all and keep the rubber side down 🏍️

I took my 1997 Sportster to a H-D dealer to be dynoed (106 rwhp). When I asked if they made any adjustments to the ignition timing I was told that the timing could not be adjusted on my bike.

My local dealership doesn't turn away old bikes. For example, my bike is a 21-year-old Dyna and they're more than happy to work on it, modify it for me, whatever, as long as they can find the parts. In fact, I don't know if they still have them, but last year they had a 1969 Road King (may have been a police model, I don't know) on the showroom floor. I don't know if it was for sale or just display, but they had it and it ran.
