Awesome video! Thanks so much for sharing. I’ve been fortunate enough to purchase one in golden white pearl IMHO I think it’s the holy Grail for the 24 model year. Especially being a 25th anniversary. My only complaint with motor company is I think it should’ve come with a CVO 25th anniversary cover for price your paying.

[@FXDLSBrooklyn]

Damn congrats on one hell of a bike! I think I agree with you, there should have been more to celebrate that anniversary - How has the bike been for you overall so far?

[@dieterlebisch]

The One Bike to rule them all. Precious ... Awesome Video, love the ocean drone shots. Cheers from Austria, top of the Alps.

[@FXDLSBrooklyn]

Appreciate you man! How's the riding out there? Definitely on my list 🏔

awesome views and twisty mountain roads up and down treacherous alpine passes, a rollercoaster of fun!@@FXDLSBrooklyn

Great review man! I just put a deposit down for a white one at Bergen county Harley and can't wait trade in my 17' CVO breakout.... Need more creature comforts!

[@FXDLSBrooklyn]

Giddy up! What color?

[@03m3]

Great review that answered all my questions! Keep it up!

[@FXDLSBrooklyn]

Appreciate you stopping by!

[@wonderful_Himself7]

Let’s be honest…It definitely needs cams because I’m constantly punishing two of my neighbors with the STs Being a previous Harley Fan myself. I know from experience,you definitely have to go in the motors of any Harley to get any type of real performance. They’ve always been money pits & once I hopped on the Challenger I was sold…

[@theoldmanflynchmotovlog4846]

Yeah and Harleys have that annoying feature of always needing to be put on a trickle charger when they're not being ridden.

[@FXDLSBrooklyn]

I would really love to see someone to an analysis/comparison with the challenger you mentioned and some of the modern Road Glides - Appreciate you checking it out 🏁⚡️

[@Vladfaitdestattoos]

@@FXDLSBrooklynchallenger has a bit more punch, less braking and heats like hell. It also feels cheap and plastic. It has an electric windshield. After tweakings, RG will be better than challenger. And more expensive. But more premium.

[@seeda3473]

I’ve tried to like the Challenger but it looks too much like a Kotex. The Chieftain would be my preference once they release the 122 Thunderstroke in 2025

[@GearHeadMoto]

When this bike was first announced I was super excited. Then after going and looking at it in person it started to fall short in my opinion. The paint is ok nothing crazy special, Up until a handful of years ago the CVOs had jaw dropping paint schemes. They used the standard rear brake rotor instead of a weaved one. No heated grips as well. My local dealership here is selling this bike at $55,000. For that price I could build one hell of a Dyna or go buy a factory Indian Challenger and have money left over. I think Harley is stepping in the right direction but they aren't there yet. Again these are just my personal opinions. Great video as always man!

[@ryans.4234]

I just got mine for invoice so $42,999. Got to do some shopping there are deals to be had.

[@berealz9701]

One more thing... finally Harley is paying attention to suspension.... thank the lord... inverted fronts should be standard on all bikes, every make and model

[@FXDLSBrooklyn]

Preach.

[@B702K]

Love my 114 Softail. I’m keeping it, but I’m gittin’ me one of these!!

[@8654ZuluFoxtrot]

Absolutely needs better pipes. Maybe add heated grips, if you ride during the cold months.

[@freeride6441]

I appreciate all you said about my motorcycle....

[@FXDLSBrooklyn]

It is an excellent bike!

[@robertmercurio2859]

Great video and all true I have had Harley’s cvo a long time . This is the best one by far! Amazing motorcycle!!

[@FXDLSBrooklyn]

Good to hear from someone who has had a history with these bikes!

[@erickong2328]

I just put the screaming eagle tuner and s trask pipe soon to get a new intake and that bike handles sooo differently its awesome

[@FXDLSBrooklyn]

Nice! What color did you go with?

[@user-go5vv7ij5r]

[@bradspeeds]

I HAVE the white one and all I can say is that IF it came with performance radial tires it would be a GRAND SLAM!!!!

[@myself7630]

I'll stick with my hoodlum. FXLRST

[@aspen9062]

I’m all in as well with my 2023 in White Sand Pearl

[@FXDLSBrooklyn]

I very much enjoyed my time on this bike, but it would not be enough to step off my Low Rider ST - However, if I ever had to choose a bagger, this was the one that came the closest to what I would need 🏁⚡️

[@user-bf4mg6mk3b]

There are a couple of things this bike needs that Harley dropped the ball on. First, rear brake rotor should be wave style to match the front. And for a Performance CVO, it should come with the rear Bag Guards to match the front Crash Bar. Besides those two things, I also added Khrome Werks Gloss Black Slip Ons. Looks cleaner and sounds better.

Love your video… white one is the Great white shark lol… well I guess I have the Orca, I have it in the Raven Black!

[@FXDLSBrooklyn]

That's sick man - I actually haven't seen that paint in person yet, how are you liking the bike so far?

[@sdot5778]

Love it… I traded in my 2023 breakout for it, but agree with you, mines is staying stock! It’s a CVO

[@dormantmenace]

Good thing I watched this video.. buying a cvo on this economy was top of my concern list. Lol

[@FXDLSBrooklyn]

This one made me laugh out loud 😂

[@dormantmenace]

Ya .. it's a sweat bike. I would love to have one. If the cards were right. I dont love the new tank or looks yet. I am concerned about first year issues with the vvt, to iron out. But other than that, costing as much a new modest suv.. is hard to swallow. I know people complain about a h.d cost but in all fairness a goldwing cost more than a roadgluid in every trim other than cvo.

[@LesterSuarezGonzalez-dz9ns]

Absolutely beautiful bike!!!, So The Amazing Harley Davidson Road Glide CVO ST it's really a Magnificent, Majestic, Impressive, Awesome and Powerful American Beast built to Cross The USA from coast to coast with Style, Confort and The Pride to be riding a beautiful Machine that will make you feel The very King of the freeways!!!, Truly love this Amazing Machine!!!, Great video and explanation as well!!!, Thanks for sharing!!!

[@mikemarucci8954]

What do you think with rear seat and the high box? All factory even the paint job. I’m about to buy but some people are saying this bike for solo riders So what do you think about passenger ? They don’t really tell why passenger set up won’t do good with this bike. Maybe because of the power? Or dynamics?

[@poundthatpavement652]

I wanted this bike at first. I had to realize that I'm gonna do too many mods to justify buying the ST. Overall, it seems like a good bike for someone who would do minimal mods.

After you buy it you'll still wind up putting easily another $2k in it! For the same amount of money you can buy a Lexus!!

[@christiangilmore5595]

It cost to live like this

[@wonderful_Himself7]

You’re absolutely correct. I don’t know why Harley Fan Boys aren’t honest. I was once one. You’re still gonna have to dump a gang of money to make it truly perform. My neighbors hate me because I take my 23 Indian Challenger & have my way with them. One has the ST & one has the 23 CVO in the whiskey color..$58grand for that bike & it kills him that I spanks his ass every time he tries me on the open highway or any situation.

[@FXDLSBrooklyn]

It's like I said, to me the bike felt like doing 8+ years of modification to a bike in one instance, and I think cost definitely reflects that. Definitely not an MSRP I can swing in the shorterm, but for someone who can, you could actually wind up saving money in terms of how much all of that custom performance work can add up to on top of a base Road Glide MSRP

[@bradlozano2571]

I like what HD has done with this Bike...But its a Bike for someone who has $45K of disposiable income...and gots to have the latest and greatest and all that infotainment tech....For me and Guys like me....We will keep our TC's without all that infotainment tech and wrench as we go to keep them running....Because the way i see it the cost of new Bikes have gotten out of hand and the quality hasnt gotten better but a little worse along with all that unnecessary infotainment tech...

[@FXDLSBrooklyn]

Yeah that's actually the part that is really lost on me, because for all my bikes I always keep my dash/bars as minimal as possible - No speakers, no gadgets, not even a phone mount - To me a lot of that stuff is just added weight an a distraction - However, I do like how it cleans the dash up to delete the gauges and project them digitally, for that purpose I can get behind

I just can't get with the new style of the touring bikes, could have 200hp and massage my 🍑 while riding and I still wouldn't take one. They look cheap and toy-like but I'm sure those who buy one will be happy.

I felt similar until I threw a leg over - Although I wouldn't be tradinging my dyna or my FXLRST, they're formidable bikes for sure
