Harley is just doing their best to catch up to what's already out there but for $10,000 more. The Indian Challenger is the best thing that ever happened to Harley. Now Harley has to start stepping up to give their customers more modern bikes so they don't lose any more sales to Indian.

@@throdown117 Harley Davidson with their slick marketing are seemingly under the impression that if you market the bike as being All American it somehow justifies jacking up the price on everything from a cheaply made sticker to the the engine. Once a Harley is sold they are banking on the buyer adding everything under the sun so they get you coming and they get you going, if you get where I'm coming from. All American in their mind means charge the customer whatever you want because of your patriotism. I swear that probably works really well when you are an American and while I salute American patriotism I am a Canadian that may not have that same enthusiasm just because of where the bike is made. My take on patriotism is that if you have to constantly be telling and charging a premium for that patriotism maybe it's just not worth it in the long run. I don't mean to offend American sensibilities in terms of supporting the country that you love and live in as being patriotic can be a very good thing but at what cost one should be asking themselves.

So what would this bike do from 0 to 60?🤔 awesome video they did in amazing job explaining all of the details of this bike. Thank you.

[@413prototype]

Exactly. All that matters is performance on the pavement. People have been getting too caught up in engine size and HP/Torque numbers. For all of that extra $ the performance is less than 1 second difference. Probably 0-60 in 5 seconds instead of 4.5. And that’s if you are a professional drag racer. I remember someone telling me when I used to ride sport bikes and was thinking about cruisers that after he had been in an F-16 everything was slow. Now that’s a jump in performance! Even if the new bikes were 5 seconds faster it wouldn’t matter to me. Isn’t the overall riding experience what really matters? I like a reliable engine, reasonable fuel economy, and enough power to easily pass other vehicles and cruise on the highway. I could care less about the prick-waving people get into. Anyway, as with anything, at some point you reach diminishing returns…like now.

[@siraff4461]

@@413prototype I agree for the most part but there comes a point where its not a trade off for top end vs torque or longevity or whatever and instead its just making a lazy engine because its cheaper to throw together. Its got vct because emissions regs pretty much forced them to do it. It makes 10hp less than a 1990's TL1000 and only 20 more than an RS660. Given that its almost twice the capacity of the TL (which wasn't known for being gutless, either) and more than three times the size of the RS its getting harder to justify the lack of peroformance. For me the big kicker is in their own range. The revmax throws out between 120hp and 150hp and thats only at 1250cc. Maybe you don't want that much power - fair enough and I can agree again. But. If they threw the revmax tech at an engine this size and set it up for similar power how much better do you think it would be? Certainly it would make a whole chunk more torque over a much wider spread. It would certainly use less fuel too. That extra efficiency doesn't need to mean more power - making better use of the energy in the fuel gives you a lot of options on what to improve. Now remember thats tech they have sitting there and comes in one of their cheapest bikes - the sportster s. Thats a $16,400 bike.

[@siraff4461]

Its been on road bikes since the 80's but mostly small displacement 4-pots back then. The idea was that an engine cammed up for (by the standards of the day) massively high rpm could still start, tickover and run properly at lower rpm. It faded out as better knowledge of fueling, ignition and flow dynamics came along but its been coming back over tyhe past 10 years or so thanks to emissions of all things. The system on the VFR was more unique because that was there for the same reason as the car versions - and worked in a similar way. More economy and more power - though how much difference it actually makes is anyones guess. I would love to lock one on vtec and do a before/after run to see what the differences are.

Just got 2 cvo rg and me and my wife love them and im coming from a 2019 street glide with 131

[@jayson1270]

@@badasstrucker79My builder is telling me to hold off on the new gen CVO due to several techical issues, which I guess is to be expected. So I'll wait a year or so for them to work the bugs out, then grab one. Also, be sure to check out the new 6x9's from Rockford as they sound AS good if not better for the new CVOs than their 10" drop-in subwoofers for the pre-2023 models.

HD and Japaneses bikes should make v4 cruisers, same look, better engines. Does this one have full liquid cooling? ie. more than just the exhaust valve cooling? or is it oil cooled?

[@jasonp1177]

The heads are water-cooled like the ultra's since 2015, plus the external oil cooler.

[@dbac8891]

Is it really cheaper to buy this then do a few upgrades yourself?

[@JoseLgamer05]

2:40 "VVT has not ben out for a long time in motorcycles" Honda VFR800 joins the chat with it's VTEC, and the BMW 1250GS with it's shift cam which both are basically the same as Harley's VVT

[@siraff4461]

Its been around on road bikes since the 80's.

[@JoseLgamer05]

@@siraff4461 It really has been around for a while, it just isn’t as common as in cars. Those were the 2 examples that I could think of the top of my head.

[@peanutsmith1462]

Man I would love to own that bike

[@earnestmarkham5703]

Honda has had VVT on there cars for a long time. I love HD , BUT did they get that from Honda. I'm just asking.

[@johnkenneally4662]

Like the new fairing and headlamp on the Streetglide. Love those CVOs. However, probably would buy the RoadGlide, if I had the cash.

[@williamvigil2951]

Are yall not selling bikes anymore? I cant find your inventory on your website?

[@hondaryder3779]

Is this an infomercial? (an advertising film which promotes a product in an informative and Supposedly objective style).😂

[@Srkcycles]

this is what i thought of the bike

[@americantojo3367]

Are you going to do a video on the 2024 goldwing?

[@Ozmandius]

good to see indian got HD finally making some advancements.

[@dangalli1]

Exactly!!

[@christianmiranda23]

why have speakers blasting when you can have them inside your helmet with voice commands and mesh network communications???? the stereo on my 2009 RG is broken and I have NO intention of fixing it. if anyone knows how I can turn the speaker and stereo pockets into storage, please LMK.

[@derrickw5660]

Did they change the frame

[@icemanlol119]

How many stages do I need to get any real power?

[@bruceearly468]

Good to see you back

[@annihil8ted993]

Hey! Are your links working still? I can't seem to get to your sites :/

[@bav114]

Honda had variable valve timing on the VFR in 2002. My 2020 Street Glide has hill hold. Nothing is new

[@blakeheeke7989]

No, a 2 wheeled vehicle is nothing new.

[@christophgage]

My 2012 bmw k1600 has these "new technologies" exept for hill start assist. That came out a few years later. Why doesnt it have electronic adjustable suspension and windscreen? Still a beautiful looking bike, but no.....

[@BikesBeardsAndBrews]

the left shock looks to still be a slave shock, seems like only the right can be adjusted so that's not fully adjustable

[@jasonp1177]

It's not fully adjustable it's just a external preload adjuster. It's the same outdated 💩 as before just a different location. The suspension is still trash compared to it's competition. Strange SE uses Ohlins but the CVO uses junk Showa. 😂

[@jarrodwilson7702]

no compression or rebound dampening adjustment, not fully adjustable at all.

[@davidbrayshaw3529]

It's hard to tell. Mose's was meant to pick up the instruction manual, but apparently, he left half of it up the side of some mountain. Mount Sinai, I think it was.

[@edbyrnes2305]

Why is this review showing a fork mounted fairing? I may be wrong, but I thought all Road Glides had a frame mount fairing.

[@northerniltree]

I ride a '21 Challenger Ltd, and a '21 Harley 114 Streetglide. Only one of those bikes makes me actually giddy, the other is a little more than a nod to tradition. Would I trade both of them plus sixteen grand for the CVO shown here? Not a chance.

[@rudeEMOboi]

i REEEALLY would love to have a rewiev from Sean on the newer Suzuki Katana

[@mikesokolow7997]

eye lvoe seieng thees kynd of REESponsez!

[@JohnSmith-fw2et]

Doesn't have reverse for a 1100 pound bike and rider combined weight. No back rest to prevent the passenger from slipping off. In 10 or 15 K-miles the cam chain tensioner will have you wondering if or when the engine will destroy itself.

[@driojal]

Oh wait! My 94 VMAX has inverted forks, on the fly dampening adjustment, dual front brakes, 140HP, water cooled, driveshaft. Now the CVO has some cool gadgets like the bags, speakers, gun tray/ phone charger and all those electronics. Same as US brands of truck with new 4cylinder turbo diesel engine like they are the revolution of engineering, when toyota and other brands have them since the 80s but USA won't allow them to sell here.

[@jasonlong5292]

Damn Sean I've been a subscriber for a couple months and I watch all your videos and I even bought my Vulcan s based on your approval for the bike but I now have a bad ass bike that you have never test rode and it disappoints me that you never did a comparison of the M109R against my amazing bike The biggest baddest man bike you can own the C109RT. You had one once but only did a Caleb walk around video. I rode an M109R to compare and I truly feel the C109RT is faster and is actually the pinnacle of road king comparable bikes. I took the goofy windshield and bags off and it is a true power cruiser worthy of a video from you.

[@mr.spooby1123]

So is this like harley stepping up their game because of Indian?

[@Biker_1991]

How’s Tennessee treating you? It looks awesome!

[@TheAsheybabe89]

Nashville is a 💩 hole and looks nothing like it did before the post COVID exodus of (mostly) unsavory out of staters moving in.

[@jamesvandergrift2096]

Drove by the state college harley dealership u used to go to they are having a retirement sale

[@haroldpetersen5584]

Does it have reverse?

[@sublime835]

Can you make the cruiser gloves in sedona color?

[@bigmike9527]

Hmm? Looks like a bigger version of my 2019 Sportster roadster considering it has the the same brake and suspension design.i love my roadster

[@chrisbolton5461]

Great video and great bike.
