How Much I Paid For My 2024 Harley Davidson Road Glide!!

Getting into the details with pricing and purchasing my 2024 Harley Davidson Road Glide
Please comment with questions down below, THANKS FOR WATCHING!!

[@OffWeekGarage]

I want to thank everyone for commenting!! A couple quick points: I got really good fair pricing and was treated very well at my local Tacoma Destination Harley Davidson dealership. This video is only intended to go over my real world numbers since there is so much misinformation on the subject it seems. I am no expert, so I do recommend doing your research and due diligence in terms of what you should and shouldn’t purchase along with a bike. All the options HD provides with a purchase can be beneficial to the right person. I only hope to share my experience and ideas on this topic with you guys to open up the conversation to more good information. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR WATCHING AND COMING ALONG FOR THE RIDE!!!🤜🤛

[@carlbruhn1772]

The only unfair pricing was the taxes. Caesar always gets paid.

[@derekframe9218]

Bro go to your local credit and refinance your bike. You have great credit to get a way lower rate

[@randallkarnes1154]

Hey nice to see a Tacoma destination Harley.I live in Nashville now but Washington State for 30 years.I bought mine at down town Harley there before they moved.

[@jeffreylonigro4081]

We appreciate all you guys and gals who pay through the nose so we can buy them in 10 years with low mileage for next to nothing and roll some numbers on that odometer. Thank you!

I have a 22 BMW R18B 21.5k OTD with gap, best deal I could find a touring bike. I just rode recently from FL to Texas and it was a great ride!

[@jonrodriguez23]

Good looking bike

[@bikerinbeta]

Congratulations. How did u do the gap? I thought it was insurance only thing. I want one too but in my town there's no BMW mechanic I'd have to take it to Houston or something

[@markh5892]

I was at my local Harley dealership yesterday where they have more inventory on the floor than I’ve ever seen there. I’m 63 years old and I’ve been riding since I got my first motorcycle in 1975’. and I’ve owned just about everything you can imagine to include a handful of Harley’s. I’m riding a 16’ Heritage that I bought new for about $17K. A new one today is $22,500. I realize the prices like everything else in life have increased dramatically but Harley prices are just astronomically high now. A new Street Glide/Road Glide is about $30K. I bought a new 09’ Street Glide prior to my Heritage for about $20K. My buddy and I were thinking it’s gotta be hard for a younger person trying to buy a new Harley today when your payments are going to be $500 or more plus the cost of insurance which is higher now as well. I realize it’s an Apples and Oranges comparison but just to make the point, I recently had a beyond mid-life crisis and bought a new 23’ Suzuki GSXS 750 which is a 112 HP in-line four cylinder naked type Crotch Rocket for $10k total out the door. No, it’s not a Harley but if I’m a younger man trying to get by in todays world, buying any type of a Japanese bike is obviously a much less expensive alternative. Incidentally, my local Suzuki/Kawasaki dealership had a pretty minimal inventory in comparison to Harleys. It’s not hard to understand why and sooner or later, this is going to catch up with Harley.

[@fastone136]

im right there with you.im 65 this year.got my 10th harly last fall.2019 flhx 2000 miles 19000.i found he bike online in bmw dealership.had it shipped from ill, to mass 75.00.midnight blue.all stock.not for long .💀

[@kennethwise7108]

True, I saw a beautiful new CVO Road Glide at Battlefield HD the other day and shockingly didn't have a price tag on it. Being curious I inquired and when the salesperson told me $52k I couldn't believe it!! When he saw my jaw drop he started to validate the price and went into great detail about it. Mind you, I have 2ea. 1998 (1st gen.) Road Glides, both have well over 100,000 miles on them and have no computers on them or anything fancy. They are simple and reliable, I can fix absolutely everything on it myself and have over my 15 years of ownership. These new bikes albeit are nice they're extremely expensive and in my opinion way overpriced. Gone are the days of wrenching on your own bike. If you purchase one of these things you are now married to any Stealership for anything it needs and they don't call them "Stealerships" for no reason. To each his own but I wouldn't trade any of my 2 Road Glides in an even exchange for one of these newer bikes and I'm totally serious. I'd never find another one as they're very rare and it has the best motor that HD ever made "Evo" that powers it. I also average 55 mpg on my bikes and it is the lightest Road Glide ever made even without any Carbon fiber bits on it. I'm glad HD is making advancements and modernizing but the prices are just ridiculous. They've FINALLY hit the $50k threshold, I guess here soon we'll see $60k as that seems to be the next benchmark. Corporate greed and union wages are out of control, hope they can continue to keep their doors open. Honestly, I don't know anyone in my circle of friends who can afford a $50k motorcycle.

[@fastone136]

yeah..cvo saw those prices.insane.really that big a difference?i got the 2019 for the heel shifter.now they include on the cvo model.lol@@kennethwise7108

[@Dingthedingbat]

It’s like this, guy. Seems like you’re screwing up the math, you’re probably same as me, more on than off. But really you’re not making any sense. You sound stupid, “oh my 78 datson was better then my 1952 dodge” A Cadillac isn’t a car to be scored and it’s cheaper than a Rolls Royce

[@kennethcole1551]

When I started to ride motorcycle in 1957 minimum wage was $.25 an hour and gasoline was $.17 a gallon. Today minimum wage is $15 an hour and gasoline is over three dollars a gallon if I finance. My road glide and I pay $400 a month. I can think of it as a lease because that comes to $100 a week. I broke my new 2021 Road glide and I have 30,000 miles on it so for me it’s pretty cheap

[@mikefrancais]

I appreciate your honesty and all these details. I think you’ve probably enlightened and helped a lot of your viewers.

[@_theuglyones_]

It is a beautiful bike and thank you for being honest about what the numbers look like.

[@MattLaidlaw]

You’re actually tier 2. The paper you were holding is just showing you what percent of the population are in different fico score ranges. Yes, you can buy the extended service plan after the first 2 years of warranty but the price goes up. So if you know you are going to keep the bike for more than 2 years and you don’t want to pay for mechanical failures after the first two years than it’s a better decision to buy it at the time of purchase. You’ll save money. Plus you can finance it into your loan instead of a large out of pocket expense in the future. An extra 5 years on top of the 2 should only be in the 3,000-3,500 price range. Not 5k! That’s gouging. HD paint protection is more than just the ceramic coat. It also comes with a 5 year paint warranty which is actually the more valuable portion of the product you’re paying for. Gap is a must have if you don’t have a big down like yourself. Suggesting that it’s a needless add on is a major financial mistake for some people who don’t have a lot of equity when they buy. Hopefully this helps people looking to make a purchase. You got a great deal on this bike. Enjoy man. The 2024’s are rad.

[@OffWeekGarage]

Wow!!! So cool I got a comment from you Matt, I’ve been watching you for the last year now! I appreciate the wise words and information for those watching and reading. The 1k paint protection I was offered was not ceramic, it was a ppf package which for the right person is totally worth it, but for myself, I’d rather diy it and save some money. And completely agree on GAP, if people’s insurance does not provide it, buying it up front is a must. The guys over at Tacoma Destination HD took great care of me, I have nothing but good things to say. I have been LOVING the bike, I test rode a 23 Lowrider St, and RG ST last year, and this bike feels like a completely different bike.

[@dobzz20]

HD IS A SCAM

[@sinkieclan6403]

Matt is giving good advice here. If you are buying anything like a car or motorcycle, get GAP insurance. You are going to be underwater on that loan for the first 2 years probably unless you make a hefty down payment. Very transparent video. Nice work and enjoy the ride!

[@TwoWheelGarage]

Thanks for sharing. I’m also in Washington. After talking with a few dealers in the area, their biggest issue with selling 24’s are with the folks who have newer trade ins like myself. The trade in value for late model touring models have dropped significantly since the new models arrived. They seem to only be selling to those with no trade ins because the folks with 21+ models are getting destroyed on their trade. I bought a black with black trim 23 Road Glide Limited w/RDRS 5mo ago. I got a pretty dang good deal at $35k otd. I went to a few dealers to see what I could get on trade and highest was $20k. That’s insane and that’s on a Limited model which are unchanged for 2024. I only have 1,300mi and it’s immaculate. As much as I love the changes to the 24 models, I’ll be keeping my bike for the foreseeable future and I’m ok with that. Enjoy your bike and ride safe 🤙🏼

[@trex860]

Thank you very much for sharing! Very few people on KZbin (if any) go into this much detail on a big purchase like this and the knowledge is really helpful. Regarding the 2 year warranty, l have a 2021 Road Glide Special and after a year of owning the bike I switched from HD Syn3 oil to a very well known brand that exceeded every requirement in the HD Owners Manual. This brand sold oil change kits that included an oil filter. Not too long after, I took my bike to the dealer to have new tires put on, they did a 15k mile service that included a 3 hole fluid change. When the head of the service department (32 years of experience) brought my bike around front after completing the service, he asked me what oil and filter i used on the last oil change. When I told him, he looked at me like I had poured sand into the engine. Then he just dropped his head like he was praying over the grave of his best friend. After a while he slowly raised his head and looked me right in the eye and told me to use only HD brand lubricants and filters on the engine. The only warranty claim I’ve had on the bike was replacement of the rear tire pressure sensor. But after my encounter with him over the engine fluids, I went back to 100% HD. Just for tellin’ ya.

[@850moto]

[@markohara6855]

Nice bike! Helpful info. Good deal.

[@Boxer1250RT]

That is one honest Dealer. I am hearing that some HD Dealers are asking as high as $1,500 for set up (PDI) plus $500 for Processing Fee. Some are jacking up the price and forcing you to pay by $1,500 for Paint protection and security system (total horse shit, this is not a $400K Ferrari). You don't have to buy the extended warranty from the same Dealer. If you find a better price elsewhere, go there. If you live in a high income area, call out of town smaller Dealers. Those Dealers will treat you better and they won't charge stupid $hit on top of the MSRP.

Never use dealer financing unless you absolutely know you qualify for special rate promotions. The finance office always adds a percentage or two to the buy rate. Plus, ALWAYS ask to see the buy rate if you do use dealer financing.

[@waylandsnowmobile]

I just can't stomach that purchase price. To each his own i guess. I'm happy with my 4 bikes in the pole barn. Bought them all used, paid cash, don't need to insure them all of the time. I have two sons and we take trips down to the Ozarks or Smoky Mountains. Lots of fun. Oh, $26k total. BMW 1200RT, BMW 1200GS, Triumph Tiger 800, and my wife's new toy C125 Honda Super Cub.

[@terrellgarren7125]

Good video. You are an intelligent young man. It is none of my business how you spend your money. Just another perspective. I've had maybe 25 bikes over 50 years of riding. Only one bike purchased new. The remainder purchased used or salvage. One can be just as happy on an $8K bike as a $35K bike, even more so if you enjoy the accomplishment of bringing a bike back to like. I pay no loan interest, minimal depreciation, and my insurance (no collision) runs around $120 per year per bike. Just a thought - there are tons on new bike videos but few on used / salvage bike enjoyment & savings. A talented person like you might be very interesting focused on that niche. Best to you.

@@OffWeekGarage no doubt. I want the exact same bike so your vids were perfect. I went in today to look at my local place and they didn’t have any in stock. Honestly I wish they had the Alpine Green with the black but I guess that’s not a thing. 1 question I did have for you. Have your tested the car play yet? Also if so does the car play nav pop up on the Harley screen or just on your phone? Thanks a lot sir!!

[@OffWeekGarage]

@@qdean3312 I made an infotainment video on that, the CarPlay map does pop up, and if you’re in touring mode almost the whole screen is the map. It’s a little hard when you’ve got your phone, Sena headset and bike infotainment all wanting to talk, I haven’t really used CarPlay much due to that. It works flawless, but it takes me a couple minutes to get it dialed in which I just don’t choose to do. It’d be beneficial on a trip for sure though. The phone tends to want to pair to the bike when you turn the bike on, and then that causes the Sena to lose connection with the phone. So then I have to disconnect my phone from the bike, connect to the Sena again, then connect to the bike.

[@qdean3312]

@@OffWeekGarage ooo you know what I do remember you talking about that. I’m new to the Sena world. Never used it but my buddies do. Makes sense for sure when your on long trips to use the car play nav. But of course the sena is important also when you’re riding with friends. Hopefully they figure this issue out. Again thanks a lot for all your answers big dog. Be safe out there!!! 💪🏾💪🏾

[@OffWeekGarage]

@@qdean3312 yeah it’s just the way it goes with all this tech, at any given time my phone is Bluetooth’d to at least my Apple Watch, and then headphones or Sena and bike, it’s a miracle it all works 😅, I can’t really put any blame on the bike or infotainment for that, it operates as intended so no gripes here!

Don’t forget to speak with a bank/credit union for financing. They’re often offer much better interest rates than any dealer.

[@allwrong3114]

Wow! That's a ton of cash. So as an older guy (geezer), I bought my 2020 RKS out the door in Las Vegas for 23K cash. Out the door! Ya I get it; I don't have the cool video game screen but trust me, as you get a little older and realize the tech is quickly antiquated, you (me) look for simplicity. RKS has a speedo. What else do you need? The bike and the highway. The rest is fluff designed to suck the cash right out of a young guy's pocket. Score for HD.

Here is my life of buying and owning motorcycles. I am now 71 years old. My first HD was a 1974 FLH, back in 1980, $3500 cash. I traded up to a 1980 FLH about 1990, $1200 cash for trade. In 1994 I bought my first new HD Heritage. $18,500 cash. In 2010 I sold the 94 Heritage and bought a new 2010 Heritage, $14,500. In 2021 I bought a new Tri-Glide Ultra out the door, $38,200. I got just under $10,000 trade for the Heritage to buy the Trike. I have NEVER had a loan for any motorcycle. If you have to borrow to own a bike, stupid is as stupid does. Save the money and pay cash. Two weeks ago after wanting a Toyota Tundra Crewmax Platinum for near ten years, I paid cash and it is sitting in my driveway right now. Save and buy. Just my way.

bought a cvo a month ago mine is 9.29%. The interest rate is outrageous.

Welcome to Joe Biden’s economy!

As of Feb 2024, $30~40k OTD for a touring motorcycle of this caliber is pretty normal. I am in a shopping mode for my next touring bike, so I've been looking here in Los Angeles area (we are by far the most expensive location in the US...thanks Gavin). Ducati Multi V4S was about $38k OTD (at Beverly Hills dealer), BMW S1000XR with paniers and a few options was about $28k + tax (2023 model at Burbank BMW), 2024 BMW K 1600 model ranges will be well over $35k for sure OTD, and Honda Goldwing OTD was about $32k (tour version) but with more options such seat upgrade and so on will be about $37k+. Yes, they are all expensive - especially here in California. I am sure in other states, the prices will be about $3~4k lower. Where ever you are, if you are into this life style as we all know, we will somehow find a way to justify this and make it worth every penny.

Well said and very true!! I’m up north of you in Washington State. I’ve ridden it mostly in the rain so far 🤣

[@Quik1986]

Thank you!, I'll stick with preowned haha

[@johncampana86]

Love the bike .. my next bike is CVO road glide

[@robcip6133]

If you wait until a big holiday like Christmas they usually offer 1.9 to 3 interest rates.

[@brucerennich3985]

Good video. Definitely put things in prospective. Don’t listen to all the people bashing what you paid. Most of them either can’t afford it or are doing the same financing. The bike looks GREAT, hope you enjoy it

[@joannaliese8101]

I can afford 10 of them but still not stupid enough to pay that.

[@curtrodriguez1036]

This is a superb informative video regarding financing a new HD. I just purchased a new 24" RG with the same upgrades, paint, etc. I did opt for the extended warranty as this is a newly redesigned model, and although one would hope most items are addressed in the first couple of years, you never know in year 2.5. My interest rate sucked, and I hope to refinance it in about a year with my CU. Thanks again!

[@psosa26]

I got a 1.99 interest because I would not budge when they kept offering 6-7 percent.. ended up walking away and than got a phone call the next day with the 1.99 interest offer 😮and my credit was 730 at that time..they always offer the highest and work backwards because of incentives they receive from the bank.. you have to go in there with the mindset that you are willing to walk away and have them work in your favor. You probably could have had a 5% interest rate. I’ve bought a ton of new vehicles and bikes, next time work em. The bike is beautiful! Congrats brotha.

[@603HD1]

for sure you have to be willing to walk away.

[@psosa26]

@@603HD1 Absolutely

[@ProbablyStonedComments]

You can boost your credit score before a purchase by getting your credit limits raised. It gives the same boost as paying down your debt. Also, if it’s taxable, it’s negotiable. If they won’t budge on the fees, make em take the cost of the fees off of the price of the bike. Get your financing done on your own, and then allow Harley to see if they can beat it. I’ve got the 21 limited.

Nice, 10.09 not bad if you look back in around 2010-2015 rates. People forget that rates are were they should be at this point. Anyway, it's always a good reminder for those young and old about financing. Good advice.

[@OffWeekGarage]

Thank you for the kind comment. I think the other issue is a lot of people who have never financed anything other than a car don’t know that interest rates are higher on pretty much everything besides cars..

[@Bikerbug2020]

FYI - Credit Scores at 720+ are considered Tier 1.. some Promo Deals from Manufacturers will say 750 or better…. I bought a 2023 Road Glide Fast Johnnie at a 3.9% through Eagle Finance 60 months.

[@matthewlemoine6280]

I got my 24 roadglide for 35 out the door. But ... also have wheel and tire warranty. Gap, pipes, and a tour pack. With my traid in. So I think I did good.

[@Desmo1]

DO NOT FINANCE a bike at 10% interest rate, and DO NOT fall for the “I’m gonna pay it off early, so it will be fine” notion. If that were the case you wouldn’t be in the market of 10% interest in the first place. Also, NEVER go with what a dealer says about their best rate they came up with, unless it’s 1.9-0.9% etc. The dealer sometimes will get kick backs/incentives from banks if they use them and that incentivizes the dealer to ignore better rates due to the kick backs.

[@jalv2023]

Had a similar situation I was looking at a 2024 with tier one credit I got a 7.9% rate, got a 2023 fast Johnie heavily discounted at 1.99% saved several thousands over the life of the loan

[@jkamp752]

2023 They offered me 14% with a 800 score! I got them down to 3%. These interest rates are insane but it’s possible to get a good one.

[@JohnNewton-ev8ch]

I paid $29K OTD yesterday for a 2024 Street Glide in Whiskey with the blackout option and full built-in maps option. $14K trade in and the rest cash.

[@OffWeekGarage]

Good deal!!! Congratulations! 🎉
