The 2024 Road Glide | Before You Buy

[@urbanadventurer5]

Agree with everything you said. It’s absolutely the best bagger ever made period. I was shocked how easy and fun it was to ride. Great bike.

[@FXDLSBrooklyn]

100% - Bike definitely surprised me - Appreciate you checking it out 🏁⚡️

[@Vladfaitdestattoos]

Even better than cvo version beside st

[@urbanadventurer5]

@@Vladfaitdestattoos I really meant the new Road Glide in every variant, but if you don’t have $40,000+ to spend on a motorcycle, the standard absolutely is. It’s like 75% of the performance value at like half the cost.

[@Vladfaitdestattoos]

@@urbanadventurer5 i sold a week old 2023 cvo rg for a standard 2024. Front fork with spoke wheel makes the vvt cvo too light of the front. Only thing cvo has better is breaking. But regular RG have really sufficient brakes. As my mechanic says « you better go with regular fork than upside down entry level Showa. Anyway you’ll replace springs and oil and do rear suspension as soon as ohlins is on it » Regular 117 ci is also more fun to ride than vvt

[@rolandjosef7961]

to me there is not much of a difference between a Standard RGS 2024 and my Special RGS 2022, except for the CVO models.

Had a 2014 street glide after my 07 dyna, sold it just could not stand throwing that thing around in turns so went to a dyna again but I test rode the new road glide and wow they have shed so much weight and I feel absolutely comfortable

[@hdryderct]

Great video man. I gotta say coming from a 22’ Low Rider ST I have to agree with everything that was said. Price vs. what you get in comparison to other options specifically the Low Rider ST just cannot be beat.

[@FXDLSBrooklyn]

They definitely leveled the playing field with this offering - I was impressed to say the least, appreciate you stopping by 🏁⚡️

[@flyonawall6521]

I've never been a RG person (BW guy), but when I saw the 2024 RG I was really impressed. The RG CVO ST looks amazing, and besides the handlebar setup....there really isn't much you need to do with it. Just a very good design. If this Dyna Bro says it's a good bike, you know its a good bike.

[@FXDLSBrooklyn]

Really appreciate that man!

[@scottbrooks288]

Taking delivery of one identical to this video as soon as the recall from Monday is resolved... the wait is killing me!

[@thevtwinwanderer]

With a lot of Thrashin Supply parts being able to fit , and being able to drop in the screaming eagle 511 cam kit, you can turn the new Road Glide in an absolute ripper. Test driving it was not a good idea for my wallet this year. I wonder if Kraus's inverted front end can bolt right on too.

[@FXDLSBrooklyn]

The inverted front end would 100% take it to a different level - But after doing all that, I would be curious to know how close cost would be coming to a CVO RG ST

[@thevtwinwanderer]

@@FXDLSBrooklyn It would be pretty close, especially with labor fees, but the Kraus front end uses Ohlin's cartridges so you'll be able to dial it in. It might be the same cost in the end, but it would be very bespoke

[@marccunningham6353]

Great video! I am so tempted to sell my 2022 RG special for the 2024! So many reasons!!

[@OnyxFLTRX]

Anyone that sleeps on these '24's is sadly missing out. This thing changed the game compared to the '23 and previous Road Glide. The '24 is the best of all the '23 RG versions combined into a ridiculous value. It's more ST than the old ST and really doesn't give up anything critical. The new plastic is sexy as all get out and this liquid cooled motor is very satisfying stock with tons of hop up potential. It feels like a way smaller, much more nimble bike than it looks. I did Onyx Pearl over black, lol. Waited a long time for a bagger as I have been a hotrod FX Springer owner for over 10 years. That bikes iconic, but this thing will cause it to collect dust. Previous RG just hadn't done it for me and this just flipped the table over.

[@tomoates8568]

Not a fan of the shark fairing, but I do love the batwing so the new street glide is what I've been looking at differently. Very nice bikes indeed, but I'll still be sticking to the Low Rider ST. I actually prefer my bikes to be simple, which the Low Rider fits that bill. The baggers got all these bells and whistles with the infotainment systems and all that, too much electronics for my liking I think. But I'll never say never, maybe one day I'll come around lol

[@FXDLSBrooklyn]

I think I'm with you at the end of the day especially for the simplicity factor - A lot of the modern gadgets in terms of the infotainment/speakers a truly lost on me, which is why I barely even mentioned them in this video

In EU Low Rider ST costs ~24kEur, while new Road Glide 31800Eur... What the actual .... with pricing?

[@FXDLSBrooklyn]

Yeah that's really interesting, not sure why there would be that big of a difference

[@Bikerbug2020]

You have to be a really short guy to say the seat is comfortable, for us taller folks at 6’3” you have to switch out the seat to +2 and I haven’t figure out how to get a T-Bar set up that doesn’t impede the visuals of the rider display.

[@CactusJack252]

He said he is 5'7

[@jimtownsend6139]

Agreed.. 6’1” here.. looking at replacing the seat eventually so I can sit back further. (I’m waiting to see what the aftermarket provides). Also there’s too much wind in the face for taller riders with the stock 4.5” windshield. I went with a HD brand 12” windshield which does a good job.

[@FXDLSBrooklyn]

Yeah I'm definitely not on the taller side of things, so take what I say knowing that - I was also wondering about the T-bar situation myself, and if anyone had found a solution to not block the view of the gauges like you said

[@Big-Al.64]

Very good review and it's nice to see that you know how to be objective and not fixed in your certainties, but for my case even if I have to admit that the new Road Glide has progressed a lot and gained in qualities that it lacked, I don't like the new aesthetic line of which I do not like the new fairing which loses its characteristic visual identity with the double optics which had been part of its signature for a long time, nor the truncated saddlebags at the rear which are not larger but which have taken on a certain plumpness which makes the line less fluid, nor the tank with its angular profile and even less the new entirely digital dashboard which is too sophisticated and automobile-like which loses personality. I have liked the Road Glide for a long time which for me is THE bike to ride far and for a long time with luggage and passenger but from a personal point of view, at 64 years old it is a motorcycle which has become too heavy for me and for my exclusively solo use and more typical secondary roads I definitely prefer the new Softail chassis much more fun to ride, I'm on my third and today after a Sport Glide and a Heritage in 107 I really enjoy a lot more riding on my Low Rider S which I use almost daily and also for long journeys, perhaps I would switch to the ST for its more pronounced road side with its saddlebags and the better protection, I like its stripped-down look without screen or sound system which I don't feel the need for. Thanks for your videos, greetings from France...

I, unlike everyone else disagree with your review. As a 24 rg owner with 30k mollies on it in 4 months, the seat is trash. The audio system needed completely replaced to hear at highway speeds, I’m getting ready to replace my rotor for the second time for warping. The clutch needs to be replaced to reduce pull tension, numerous infotainment bugs and problems.

And since I’ve never had a bagger I have no allegiance to the old style other than that it looks a million times better. I would totally get a 2023 over the 2024 without question.
