Laidlaw’s H-D dealer is my home dealer. We (as family) purchased 4 bikes over the years and I recently ordered new 2020 Electra Glide. All employees treat customers with respect (include parts/service dept) every time. I highly recommend to all my fellow riders. Safe ride 👍🏼

Not only is this a great touring bike but also a great in-town bike. You get the best of both worlds. Gold Wing may be a great touring bike (I rode one around the country) but bulky in the city. I've heard Wing owners say the same thing. RG is a very nimble ride and can out turn the Wing hands down. Matt, you said the RG Limited is for the long distance rider, yes, but it also works great for the grocery shopper. I am a recovering Gold Wing rider...had two of 'em.

I know this old news, but as someone who went from an FLHT (Electra Glide Std) to a 2020 RGL, my ONLY complaint is that I’d really like to ditch the lowers during the warm months. BUT it’s my daily driver all year in Virginia and from October-March, I’m thankful to have the lowers 😅

Another thing is why did they take away the CVO style light and just left them empty around the back rear tire they should off just left it completely filled in instead of the cutouts with no rear lights ?

I went from the '16 Rushmore Road Glide Ultra to a '18 Road Glide Special because of the lowers. I wanted more air flow across my legs and the ability to add and remove lowers based on the season is important to me. The bonus was getting the blacked out bike. I run it in stock trim during the hotter months and turn it into an "ultra" for the cooler months. I got a king tour pack, but wish I had gotten a chopped tour pack since I only ride solo.

Fantastic review! Very rider centric and what I don't get from other reviews. RG special is exactly what I almost bought in 2019. I was going to buy the RG Special but didn't pull the trigger because of all the things you mentioned here. I almost bought an Indian because of this but now the RG Limited blacked out is just an absolute game changer for me. Will purchase one 100% sometime this spring. Bravo HD

I think when I turn 55-60yrs old I will get one of these, I’m 41 and ride a Street Bob but I want to trade it in on either a Street or Road Glide Special and slap a Stage 2 on it right away. I can’t take my current Street Bob on long trips and that’s what I really want to do and ride across the country to see our beautiful country. I will soon get my dream bike and start checking those bucket list rides and trips off. Keep up the great work fellas, the videos are awesome! 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼

My first Harley was a 2001 RoadGlide I bought in 2013 and in 2015 I “upgraded” to a 2015 Ultra Limited. Both are great but a Limited treatment to either machine is so chock full of creature comforts, storage and long-distance capability it’s a must for anyone who rides 500 miles at a stretch. Just rode my Limited to Sturgis from So. Cal and back and it was a breeze. That they added all the Limited equipment to a RoadGlide is seriously compelling. I’ve always wanted my RoadGlide back and having all the features of my Limited on the Roadie is a slam-dunk in my opinion. Super thorough review of the bike Matt. Top-shelf, like always. Thanks again.

Hi Matt, thank for taking time to make these videos. I have an 02 Ultra Classic looking to upgrade to the Road Glide Limited. I live and ride here in the Midwest. The touring bikes are great for weekend rides and commuting. Weekend rides here are 100 miles on the short end to 650 on a two night trip. Riding position is also key for comfort, especially old guys with knee issues. ;) Keep up the great work!

As usual, great video thanks. I have an '18 Road Glide Ultra and continue to be really pleased I got it. From the beginning, I was torn between a Special and the Ultra. My solution was to put a 9'' Klock Werks screen on it, Standard seat, and a quick disconnect kit for the tour pak, 4.5" Street Cannons with Defiance end caps and Speedform 4'' bag extensions. It is close to a Special for the street but I have the water cooled heads, all the touring equipment that goes back on in 15 min and it's less expensive than trying to put the long distance touring stuff on a Special. Just perfect. Plus will soon get a Klock Werks 12" Pro Touring for longer rides - best screens. Hips do throw the air out around you, flair sends it above and they are lower than other screens.

Now this 2020 Limited nails it. Basicall exactly what I wish they would have offered in 2018. I would trade mine in if Household 6 agreed. Good video guys.

Great review as usual Matt. I've been shopping for a month going back and forth on three different options. After watching this review, I've decided on the RG limited in blacked out Red and Black. I've always been a chrome guy but that combo just looks to dang good. However, I'm going to change the pipes to chrome Reinhearts and heat shields. I think it will look even better with a touch of chrome.

Gorgeous bike. I’m hoping Harley ditches the CVO trike in favor of a CVORG Limited in the next cpl years. I’d definitely move from my CVO Street Glide up to this if they do a CVO. That said, I don’t understand the deletion of the heel shifter on these bigger bikes. I love my heel shifter, maybe I’m old school. Lol. I’d definitely have to re-add the heel shift. Other than that, love it. 👍🏼

Both hold the line you pick and will happily change course if you must without drama.

*** How many out there had to get a bike with a seat for the ladies and they only rode it once or twice, HIT THAT LIKE BUTTON. LOL!!! After demo riding all the 2019 & 2020 Harley & Indian models with the exception of the trikes, in my opinion, this is the best riding model that is made. If you are wanting the best ride for long distance, 1 & 2 up comfort and will perform well in the curvy roads then this is the motorcycle to get. I wasn't too crazy about it until I rode it so I encourage to go test ride and especially if you are looking at Road Glide Special. Like Matt & Andrew said in their comments, you can always get a detachable touring pack mount added, get a slim seat to switch out, get a lower windshield for around town. This will probably be my next bike. I hope to get it from Laidlaw's, fly in to LA, pick up the bike and ride it across country to back home. Sick of playing games with dealerships when it comes to buying a motorcycle.

The black on black looks really good, but I wonder how the finish of the blacked out trim will hold up over time. We know what happens to those lacquered sliders. As for wind and stability, the heavy Harley has it. I have a '19 Gold Wing Tour as well as a '15 Limited. When meeting an opposite direction, big square tractor trailer on a 2 lane, the Gold Wing will come dangerously close to getting blown off the road, where the Limited is rock solid and doesn't flinch. Harley has the edge on storage too. I would trade both of my bikes for a new '20 Road Glide Limited in a second.

only HD could charge you more for something that's less expensive to make :)

Dont hold your breath for that livewire review, they've already halted production.

The halt was for a production problem, they will restart presently.....that said it is very much a niche item. If I needed something to barnstorm around town I could consider it....but I also think the xg750a is better suited for that purpose not to mention less than half the cost....but I will keep riding my heavy tourer since it’s paid for!

Paul Healey they say there is no recall needed....and they restarted today...didn’t say what the issue was than quality related. Perhaps some smudged paint where no one ever looks......

Not from the factory but both can be purchased at the dealership out of the P&A catalog.

Thanks for a great review. I’m still on my 2014 FLHTK. Great bike, boom box sucks😬. Matt, would you do a quick video on the clutches in the 2020 touring bikes? I understand there are some big changes. If you’ve already done this, I may have missed it. Thanks

Another great video, Matt. Though I just traded in my 17SG for a 19 RG, I must admit that this Limited is a dam nice bike. Maybe when I'm tired of my RG, I'll be "old enough " for a limited Lol!

Matt, maybe you can shed some light on my question. Why has HD not offered a power windshield on their touring bikes? Having collectively put 250,000 miles on 3 touring motorcycles (2 Visions and an Indian Roadmaster) with power windshields in 7 years. I don't own a car so my bike is my work car 5-6 days a week (60 mile round trip commute), 12 months a year and my wife and I travel exclusively on the bike for recreation. I go out west every year (from Alabama) and just returned in August from a 12 day 7,250 miles trip out west so I can attest that in that amount of miles, I encounter all forms of weather multiple times and the power windshield is an amazing and super useful feature. I was all set to buy an Ultra Limited Low in 2017 or the Roadmaster. I was even willing to give up the power windshield feature of the Indian but .... 1. My local HD dealer was not hungry meaning they did not want to deal or offer a good trade in allowance . 2. The low does not come standard with heated grips, the ride of the low was extremely harsh compared to the Roadmaster. (I'm 5'6" and the standard height models or just slightly too tall, The roadmaster has a lower seat height and plush ride) 3. The remote locking bags and heated grips and heated seat (and power windshield) are standard equipment on the Roadmaster. THe M8 equipped Low did have great power and sound right out of the box!, it did handle well and the stereo was very good.

Hello Matt. Overall I like your videos and your 2020 Road Glide Limited was a good one. I am the Grandfather type as you called us old guys. Despite many decades of riding I just switched to HD in 2011 when i bought a 2012 Road Glide Ultra. I had the bike for 2.7 years and squeezed in a few long rides, even a 8250 mile ride out west. I liked the 12 Road Glide despite some of its minor flaws. In 2013 I traded it it for a 2014 Limited TK because of all the improvement the Rushmore bikes offered. However after some 28k miles on the TK I just never liked the Batwing fairing. So I bought a 16 CVO Road Glide which I really like. One of the things I really liked about the 16 Road Glide CVO was the vented fairing!! The ability to open and close the vents is great. So I am looking at a 2020 Road Glide Limited and what do I find out is, HD has removed the ability to open/close the lower vents in the fairing. In my opinion HD has made a really big mistake by leaving the vents there with no ability to close them. Every fall I take a long ride and the ability to close the vents to block out cold air and rain. In my opinion this is a really big mistake by HD, and I am disappointed that you did not mention this in your review and in reviews from other sources as well. I was just at Biketoberfest and one gentleman bought a RG Limited and then found out after about the lack of close-able vents, he was not happy! It appears to me HD and HD dealers are hiding this change from prospective customers. Steve G, Atlanta Ga

Thanks for the comment. I actually have an entire video on this fact, that has around 200,000 views on it. I also linked the video in the upper right hand corner of this video. I’m definitely not hiding the fact that you can’t open and close the vents this year. Check out my video “5 small changes to the 2020 touring bikes”

I'm for the blacked out trim as I have a 2018 Street Glide Special Anniversary Edition blacked out and I just wonder why Harley couldn't have put a blacked out shifter rod on it also instead of me having to buy one. Oh, thats right Harley Tax.

Matt, in your experience how much cooler does the twin cooled run in prolonged highway miles? 10 degrees? 30? Can you put a number on it? I’m on the fence....I want as cool a running motor as possible, but I also know it’s more things that can go wrong. I can add a tour pak and other amenities to a special. Just want to know what in numbers the cooling advantage actually is.....thanks

@MattLaidlaw 5 жыл бұрын
I’ve seen very few problems with the twin cooling over the years. I wouldn’t worry about that. I’d say it runs 20-25% cooler. That’s just a hunch. I don’t have the data to support that. So maybe 50 degrees cooler.
