Harley-Davidson Tried to Give Us Nice Things We Didn't Appreciate

[@GixxerFoo]

What other models did Harley-Davidson make a short run of that are highly sought after today?

[@Bluis5445]

Dyna, Lowrider S

[@Gus7988]

I rode a 86 FXRT for a while, great bike

[@edwardsalash2612]

I have a 1990 FXRT that I bought new and have 172,000 miles on that bike. I love that bike and have been offered what I paid for it. I have no intention of ever selling it.

[@erizfolkz31]

I had a 84 fxr my father paid about $3k for in 97. I've been offered $11k for it, twice. I've had other lower offers, but also I can't sell this bike. It was my first vehicle, I got from my dad when I turned 16. So this isn't even replaceable.

[@DocSolstice]

I have a 1993 Electra Glide Sport (FLHS)... a type of bike that became popular when it was changed (upgraded) into the Road King in 1994. Absolutely reliable Evo engine, I have it for 30 years now. Years ago I bought another Harley, an Anniversary 2003 Wide Glide... awesome bike! I don´t know why Harley stopped this absolutely classic type of chopper. I believe that these choppers with the long fork will become popular again very soon. And as three Harleys are better than two I bought a Sport Glide two months ago... and you are right: perfect tourer, also sporty cruiser. :)

[@GixxerFoo]

I have to agree the long low raked out look will make a come back! It's working on 20 years since it's last peak in the early 2000's, the time is right for a change with as expensive as baggers have become.

[@thomasborger6548]

I have to agree about the beauty of the Wide Glides until they revamped the style. We have a 78 FLHS and a few twin cams as well

1977 Harley-Davidson Confederate Edition FLH. I stood next to one in a shop in Tennessee. All original down to the tires... gorgeous bike with very low miles.

[@frankG451]

Have a 2008 anniversary Dyna FXDC.Converted the mid controls to floor boards. Added a beautiful set of leather Viking bags. Had a custom windshield made by Clearview windshields in Colorado. The beautiful copper and black custom paint. Put a sundowner Harley seat on her. Has low miles under 10k. Not only does she look beautiful, it rides as good as it looks. Went over the complete bike every thing is solid on her. Ride safe wind brothers/ sisters! Dynas will live on forever in Harley history!

[@pb68slab18]

A cousin of mine bought an '86 FXRS-Sp, or sport-edition. Dual-discs, air-assist narrow forks, stiffer springs and shocks, low "superbike'' bend handlebar. May have been only 1 or 2 years in the line-up. Actually handled pretty good. I helped him install a Supertrap 2 into 1, installed a cam, rejetted the carb. First Evo I ever worked on. I was very impressed with it's power and handling! I was riding a '78 Superglide Shovel at the time.

I have a 2011 Wide Glide. Been my dream bike since I was a kid. Snatched it up this spring for $6500 with 14,000 miles on it. I’ve put about 3,000 more on it this summer. I had a 883 and a 1200 and loved those bike, but absolutely love my Wide Glide.

[@mick_1976]

I just bought a 2011 wide glide with 24,000 miles on it in vivid black. I absolutely love that bike and can't ever see myself getting rid of it.

[@Piegrandepr]

I have a 21 Sport Glide. A lot of people whine about the engine being a 107, but to be honest, it is an amazing bike. Super light, nimble and very responsive. No need for a 114 given how great the bike is.

[@knightalumni]

I also have a ‘21 Sport Glide. I hope to never sell it. I don’t think the 114 was available for all years the model was available. Hopefully, they bring it back like they did with the Breakout. Merging it into the Low Rider ST ain’t the play, IMO, because that is an ugly fucking bike.

[@jimmansi9046]

Don’t ever feel like you’re missing out on anything, the 107 is an awesome motor, plenty of power!

Softail slim. Not heavily sought after yet, but they will be. They've got that post WW2 WLA bobber look, but in a modern bike. I have a 2014, and was honestly hoping to see them drop the 114 in the new bikes, but instead they dropped the model completely. I was very sorry to see it go.

[@johnliotta2583]

I have a 2015 and it's nice

[@High_Desert_Tanner]

I really like the Slim

[@mrpoizun]

The dumb thing about the "Slim" is that it's the exact same thing as the original Fat Boy! Well, OK, the back tire is one size fattter, whereas the current Fat Boy has a tire on the back ELEVEN sizes wider and 3 wider on the front. Unfortunately, the wheels are 18" so the tires on the Fat Boy look skinny from the side! The people running Harley now know nothing about motorcycles.

[@Warchief1337]

I couldn't agree more! I get tons of people complimenting my 2017 Slim because that had no idea it was a thing.

[@Rundark-]

My first bike ever was a 1997 Dyna Low Rider Convertible, unbelievable handling. I kept up with a guy riding a 750 GSXR on the twisties of Hwy 14. When we got to our destination he looked at me and could not believe that everytime he looked in his mirror he could see me, lol.

[@MrTPF1]

I had an '04 SuperGlide with the TC88. Awesome bike! It was my daily driver, and I also drove it on a trip from SoCal to Sturgis and back in a very roundabout way. That bike ran flawlessly and didn't give me a lick of trouble.

[@getoffmygrass6974]

That’s because the TC 88 w/ 5 speed is by far a superior engine to any other tc. 2001-2002 had the Timken bottom end but if you’re not adding too much power, they were fine.

[@jimmansi9046]

I have a 2005 Superglide twin cam 88, it’s a phenomenal bike, it’s a light fast as plenty of power and handles. Great, never selling it as it’s perfect the way it is.

[@getoffmygrass6974]

@@jimmansi9046 once the cam plate is upgraded or just maintain the spring tensioners, these engines go forever. My Evo engine is nice but the TC’s are just built better. There is a reason 9 out of 10 Stunter’s prefer early model TC 88’s, they can take an ass whooping.

[@peterrestaino7047]

The shovel FLHS with the older frame was a gem

[@nbrider7235]

When I was finally able to afford my first HD in 2003 I searched everywhere for a used Dyna T-Sport, I wanted one bad. No luck so I ended buying a 2003 Softail Night Train and mounting Quick Detach saddle bags, Tour-pak, and Memphis Shades fairing to make my version of a T-Sport. I put 75,000 miles on it touring all over North America and still have it although it has a sidecar attached to it full time and is retired from touring.

I basically turned my 03 Super Glide into a T sport. I learned a lot about the twin cam 88 engine from this bike.... I learned enough to know that I actually prefer evo Sportsters over the Harley big twins.

[@cjstemple321]

What made you dislike the twin cam 88?

[@cjstemple321]

I think 03 is when they did away with the timkens

[@jamessouthworth1699]

@@cjstemple321 Coming from a Sportster I was used to having a bulletproof cam chest. The cam chest in the twin cam is a mess. Cheap cam bearings that I had to swap out and faulty tensioners that I had to upgrade. I'm also not a fan of the wobbly cranks in the twin cams. Then for the life of me I don't understand why the drive belt is trapped behind the entire primary. I'll drive belt can be swapped out on a Sportster in 45 minutes. On a big twin you have to rip the entire primary drive off the bike to get the belt off. I also like how the primary and transmission on the Sportster are unitized so there's less places to leak and they share the same oil. The rubber mounts Sportster was better thought out than the rubber mount Dyna chassis. I had to add two additional chassis stabilizers to the Dyna chassis yet the rubber mount Sportster already has those additional stabilizers in place from the factory. And finally the weight. The Sportster is lighter and just seems more fun to ride.

[@Kevin-ne3tl]

@@cjstemple321 Yes, I have an '02 Dyna Low Rider, and it was also the last year for the forged cranks. '03 they started with the pressed cranks, hence OP's comment about the wobbly cranks. EDIT: I also have a 1997 883 (not Rubber mounted) and like he said, it's just a fun bike to ride.

[@Motorcyclewindtherapy]

2 years ago when I wanted out of a 2 up touring bike since i ride alone now ... I traded in a paid for Limited for a 2008 Anniversary edition 1200 and a fat check. I think they had 5 on the Sporty... but I forget. 2 weeks ago I was wandering around a distant HD dealership in my sons town and found an older Road King I was interested in. They gave me 6k on the spot for the 2008 1200 which I thought was a lot... but my son went into that same dealer afterwards and they said they sold my bike the next day to the 1st guy who looked at it. Knowing they need to make some...did they sell it for 8k? No idea...but I know it was a special bike (#440/2000) and it was eye popping paint and chrome... that bike always got tons on love from people who didn't even ride and HD guys loved it too. I saw a video of the HD museum and that 2008 tank was on their special wall of tanks over the years... I don't regret getting rid of it for the 2007 Road King Custom though... the RK may not ever be a 'special bike'... but it's special to me for sure.

[@williamwgardner9375]

2003 Harley-Davidson FXDX Dyna Super Glide Sport was really cool. 1978 Harley-Davidson XLCR was super cool , I remember guys trying to road race them with not much luck. The only guy that could really ride a Harley fast in the 80s was Gene Church. ( road racing that is )

[@tommontague5721]

I had the Dyna, not a fan of forward controls and sold it. Upgraded to the Road King, nice bike. I also keep going back to the Heritage Classic, on #3 Heritage now.

[@GixxerFoo]

I really do like that Heritage, that's a great bike for all around riding. It can be a tourer but it's not big and heavy to run around town comfortably on either.

[@thomasborger6548]

Two of our 3 bikes, 05 Road King and an 09 Heritage I bought new that I never tire of riding.

[@bill392]

I was so pissed in Spring '22 when I decided that I wanted to buy a new Sport Glide and couldn't get one, especially since they're still available overseas. I also wish the Sportster '72 was still around.

[@goochma]

I'm a bit biased, and it's not a sport touring model but it is a Dyna. I for one love my 2017 Dyna Low Rider S. With its front dual disk anti-lock brakes, premium ride suspension, 110 Screaming Eagle engine, and its bad boy appeal this bike not only looks good, but it is a blast to ride. The Dyna S was only available in 2016 and 2017 with 2017 being the last production year of the Dyna. The Dyna S spawned the current soft-tail LRS and LRST models. The Dyna definitely went out with a bang and that bike would be the FXDLS. I am so glad to own one.

[@MHeadroom]

I’ve got a ‘21 sport glide. I like the manners of the 107. Perfectly fine as a sport tourer/commuter and the single disc up front does the job for me. I’ll be hanging on to it because I think its limited run will make it a sought after bike down the track when I’m ready to sell it….and that’s not any time soon.😎

[@LJSiar]

'04 and '05 Superglides are oddball as far as aftermarket accessories. Excellent handling on both highway and backroads, with plenty of power.

Tried a few times to do a SS1000 but Mother Nature more than fatigue has made me tap out early. And I believe the model is still available overseas, just not in the States

[@bubbadoolittle2812]

Harley's biggest problem is that they have not made a new model bike in decades. They change the paint job and mag wheels on last years model and call it an all new model. There is an ocean on used, ultra low mileage Harleys for sale but not a any single cylinder beginners bikes or a bike that older riders can transition down to when they can no longer handle the 600lb to 900lb bikes now produced. Just imagine an 800cc single cylinder bobber that clears the scales at 500lbs. That would be something worth having! A newly designed motorcycle from Harley would be nice for a change!

[@buzzpoluchi3217]

I have been waiting for this, gixerfoo. The fxr series through the '80s were way underrated at the time. I believe the first underappreciated bikes for h-d was the original super glides. In the mid '70s the cost of a super glide and a sportster came within a couple hundred bucks of each other, but the stupid public bought gobs of sportsters even though the 'glide was a hundred times better. Great video.

[@samslade739]

Well? This is debatable. Ironhead Sportsters had been around for 20 years. The 1000cc models were light, fast, and reliable. And with a little bit of work they could be really fast. The AMF Shovelheads? Although these are my favorite motorcycles of all time I have to admit that they were heavy, slow, overheated, and had clunky transmissions. These are what I still ride but they do require allot of work.

[@mailhog2642]

Yes, back in those times your choice was 1000 sportster or 1200 motor FLH or superglide. But there was also the Sprint 250/350

[@Kevin-ne3tl]

@@mailhog2642 True. I grew up with Harleys in the garage my entire life. Dad had the Aemeracchi (sp)? 250 sprint sitting in the garage in 1974. My sister bumped it over in the garage and it fell smack dab onto the bumper of Dad's 1938 Chevy coupe. Instead of fixing the dent in the tank, he traded it in for a new '76 XLH1000 in blue. Sure, Dad may have liked the Superglide, but raising 3 children in those days, a couple hundred bucks was a LOT of money.

[@rogersmothers7435]

Great video Gixxerfoo! A few bikes I think should be on your list are the Bad Boy, Rocker & Rocker C and anything Springer. I don't understand why the Springers are holding their value so much more than the other bikes.

[@fq7879]

1 reason why is that harley will not build springers anymore because they sold the rights to another company. That company does not want the liability required by HD to supply them. So no more springers from HD

I traded a 2018 Road King for a 2021 Sport Glide. Reason for doing so, that RK was getting to heavy to move around the garage. And wasn't sporty enough out in the twisties. The dealership put an excellent deal together for me, the Sport Glide had 800 miles on it. This bike is not to popular in the US, and I've been asked many times what model is it, more popular in Europe. The Sport Glide handles great on mountain back roads and on those long stright aways. I'm very happy with this platform and will be riding it for many years to come.

[@seniorp9444]

Any springers especially bad boy and cross bones. Springers are gone for good because you can’t do ABS on one 😢. The XR1000 was a cool bike that should come back as a revolution based scrambler.

[@feloniousmonk3049]

The original owner of my 2018 Sport Glide modified it immediately for his 6' 4" height for touring. The forward pegs in addition to a 9" Gustaffson windscreen, Hogworks riding bar, HD top box on back, 6" risers with 2" pull backs and a hardwired in Garmin Zumo 660 LM GPS along with a Saddlemen Explorer seat made it a touring bike for him. He bought it in June 2018 and by August 2019 it had 12k miles on it. Trips from west coast to Tennesee and back August 2018 and again in July 2019, including a trip to the northwest on that way back. So, yes, he toured on it, a lot of miles in 14 months. I will probably will it to a family member, when I go. Love my Twisted Cherry Red version. With a 696# bike, the 107 is PLENTY. Just don't run it at 90-95 mph, I feel that's abusive on the motor, that kind of sustained load. Slow it down a bit.

[@ampini212]

I feel like a huge part of it has to do with MSRP for new Harley's. When bikes get older and younger folk can afford them the word spreads and they get what they can afford. Most younger people can't afford a $30k bagger including myself. They were primarily an old man's cruiser. Now performance is big and those that can't afford it can now build on a budget. Same goes for the off-road community as well. Same story for the new generation

I could never afford a new Harley, but I did get to buy a new 2014 HD Fat Bob, and did all the "sporting" mods to it, not because it was trendy, but because I couldn't afford a new Road Glide. I'm glad that it's now trendy to have a "Dyna-sport" based touring bike. I always loved the "Heritage Classic" bike too. The 2007-2017 Fat Bob was unpopular too, but I bought a new 2014 with twin-cam 103 and added all the right stuff for touring and it's sweet now! It was a year-end model, dual front discs, ABS, and t me looked really cool. I recognized its potential and accessorized it as I went along. I'm getting up there in years so I think its my last HD. I added some Vance Hines pipes, had it "sport-tuned" got nice road tires, shocks and hard bags and it's even better than some of the bikes my friends ride. IMO. My bike is on par with any of them and then some! I live in California and last summer we made a run to Laughlin Nevada and back, and the bike was pure joy to ride! Despite the 115 degree heat, it was still a good trip. We did stop for cold beverages all along the way!

Rather have the 92 Electra glide sport than the 2002 Road King I later owned

[@heathwest3718]

Thanks for the video. Great info. Not relevant to this video but I would love to see a video on the used Harley touring pricing. To me it doesn't make sense. There are lots of examples of bikes 5 years older similar mileage for only a couple thousand dollars difference. It seems to me like the Rushmore bikes are holding value better than the 2020 and newer bikes. Also the bikes losing features like the lowers on the cvo bikes and the vent configurations on the road and street glides. The moo glide was a sweet and rare Harley. I love the cowhide.

[@michaelpearl-r8w]

I owned a T sport for 18 years, I could not fault it. One of the best features was the uprated suspension compared to all the other Dyna's.

1971 - 1972 Boattail SuperGlides I have a 1972 that had the boattail removed by the dealer in 1973 and replaced by the 1973 SuperGlide rear fender to get it off the showroom floor. Kick only starting

[@brucesantacory1390]

LOL i'll write my replay as i watch, i worked for Harley via dealers from 73-2010, the 1st one in my opinion and the publics the dyna convertible was butt ugly, and most changed it to look more like a superglide. the T-sport would have done better with hard bags, the fairing people either loved it or hated it. the superglide was nothing NEW the dyna version harley made from 1991 to 2018 your dates are off because you are confusing the superglide custom FXDC with the FXD, at least your pics are confused, i owned several of them like the blue and yellow FXDC in your video i've owned a couple TC103s and didn't like them, went back to the 96ci. i agree with the switchback but it's funny many newer salesman think they are Road Kings, i went to NH's Seacoast HD when i was looking for a road king, and the salesman kept showing me switchbacks lol, the sportglide wasn't a dyna it was the new yamaha softail (harley bought the rights to yamaha's star line monoshock system when yamaha closed the star line)

[@feloniousmonk3049]

Good to know about the Star Line monoshock rights bought from Yamaha. I'm here to tell you that the additional 40% lateral stiffness in the 2018 and newer Softail lineup with inverted forks makes it one very very good fun handling bike in the twisties. I don't think I'll ever let go of my Sport Glide. I don't particularly think the Mantis baby bat fairing is good looking, but it is somewhat functional. Whether or not it becomes collectable is irrelevant to me, I plan on running the wheels off of mine.

[@alanparsons9645]

Sportster 72 is a wicked bike ..only went for approx 3 years

[@chriszasada9756]

XLCR , many people now build them out of newer sportsters . Harley should build one now with modern parts and it would be a hit world wide

[@fq7879]

I saw a video on the 2024 models and it featured the sport glide. Is this true that they brought it back?

[@KevinWatkins-DOC]

I believe the deuce was one of those bikes

[@Chevyv8man1]

I have 2 models that weren't popular when they were in production. One is the 1980 Sturgis and the other is a (striped down FLH) a 1984 FLHS. I also have the mut of the Sportsters - the 1979 XLH, and a 81 XLH. Good video ;as I enjoy videos of older HDs. My main ride thou is a 2013 Electra Glide. - Later

[@Goldencountry63]

80 Sturgis kick start 4 speed Shove/EVO You dog you. My childhood friend still has his from the day he bought it in 1980. The 80 Sturgis was the icing on the cake in my opinion and it's the reason I have kept my 95 FXDL and won't ever get rid of it.

[@joethomas9574]

I love my 2016 Dyna Switchback and I need a set of bags but haven't found anything yet... Great bike, great video!!!

[@Atlas.X9X]

Good content, interesting info. Thanks for sharing.

[@caruser4]

I loved the Sport Glide when it came out. I was tempted to get one but I'm glad I waited for the ST to come out. The ST will be missed whenever Harley decides to kill it

[@davidmcdonald1697]

Cant forget the best looking, wide glide! Great cruise n bike.

[@GixxerFoo]

Couldn't agree more!

[@GearHeadMoto]

The switchback probably won't ever get popular. The 110ci twin cam is the best twin cam. The 16-17 low rider s is holding steady around $15,000 for a low mileage clean one and many people think that's the best dyna ever made. The XR1200 is a bike that isnt ever discussed but is one of harleys best bikes. The bad boy and cross bones are a couple of the softail springer models that hold their value and sell quickly. The Vrod Destroyer even though it isnt street legal it will be highly sought after in the future.

[@steverollins4690]

I'm still trying to find a FXDX that hasn't been butchered up into some "Club style "

[@dynaordie8083]

Sorry but the sport glide was confused. Inverted forks but only single disk?? Harley missed the mark on that model

[@fxrblue777]

Part of the problem with lackluster sales of new and exciting Harley models is the sticker shock. Harley has priced themselves so far out of blue-collar budgets that we have to wait a few years until prices drop a bit before we can think about buying them. Harley is also indirectly competing for our business right alongside auto manufacturers where the average family sedan now costs us $40k+.

[@millinutz]

Guess i'm just one of a few Switchback friends out there, I always liked them, but at the time I had no need (or garage room) for one, and now it's too late as i've reached an age where i'm downsizing. This video did move me a little as i've recently seen two of them up for sale quite local to me and...., no, forget it buddy, you're downsizing!

[@aaron.black107]

I have a 2023 Sport Glide (live in the U.K.) and I think the 107 is plenty. If I wanted a sports bike I’d still have one 👏🏻

[@shep68]

Not sure about under-appreciated but the Rushmore line didn’t last very long. 14-16 right? Love that HO 103 TC. I’m on my 2nd 14 Limited and really like the comfort, style and sound. 30k miles on the first one and approaching 60k on the current one. Nary a problem. They just run.

[@hootertexas9711]

I went to the dealership the other day to get parts and they had the demo truck. There was zip I felt like riding except for the sportster s and the pan America. I ride a m8 FLHR and FLD switchback.

[@stevemangini3521]

I've got a 2016 Wide Glide, I love that Bike! it is a blast to Ride and there are a bunch on the used market. I bought minr in March 2023, it had 3100 miles and near show room condition

[@charlesharper7292]

Dyna Switch Back... If Harley would have put a set of 16" spoke wheels instead of those nice but extremely out of place mags, they could have sold five times as many.

[@GixxerFoo]

I highly agree there!!
