I'm not either for or against it on a road bike. I think track would be different but it's definitely useful for heavier bikes imo

@@whyyousilent6791 I appreciate it! Thanks for watching.

@@newera478 I'm not familiar with working on them and how reliable they are, but the 3rd gen is going to be the most polished model with parts widely available for sure.

@@Keno_psia you'll get there. Start putting away a little at a time and you'll have it before too long

@@azstreetrevolutionjp2790 thank you, no problem!

@@mihokradovan I addressed it around 1:09. It should work in all gears just fine as most other bikes do. Not just 3-6th smoothly or at the high end of the revs.

@@BlackRiverRider it is a boxer. It will never work like inline 4 engine. Unfortunately. Despite of how "gut" it is. I dont use it. However, gear up = under gas (no hand movement ) Gear down = gas closed.

@@mihokradovan I know how to use a QS. The R1300GS doesn't have the clunky feel in its QS that this does. All of you that have these bikes just make excuses for it. Even the $9,500 Suzuki GSX-8R with a parallel twin is much better. I basically praised the bike the entire time and you pick out the one thing I didn't like. Go waste someone else's time.

@@BlackRiverRider no, I do not excuse it. I do agree, this QS sucks. This is why I dont use it. I am happy with the clutch. Even with the clutch is changing gears not so smooth (especially 3rd gear). Bmw has never known how to make a good gearbox with the boxer engine. Even in 1600GT (inline 6) is the gearbox a comedy. Yes, I have the RT. The reason for it is in something else. I dont need such a QS at all. This is not sportbike. I would prefer a good working automatic gearbox by RT. Not a QS.

You won't be disappointed. It's a good motorcycle.

@@user-oj9nc7ou3p they were on the bike when I bought it, I don't think they're sold anymore

@@halettebrennen8460 thanks! From what I was able to find, "Mode 1 has the lowest sensitivity and allows rear wheel spin best suited for good road conditions. In Mode 2, traction control engages sooner for average conditions, and Mode 3 eliminates wheel spin for riding on wet or slippery roads." That being said, you really don't need traction control with this bike in my opinion. It doesn't have a lot of power and riding with it off promotes good throttle control learning. Seems like 3 is best for rain and 1 is for just enough to work.

@@BlackRiverRider Cool! Thank you for the information!

@@halettebrennen8460 no problem!

@@jonmullins-t4m thank you! Likewise man.

Busa..not bush ..lol

@@williamduckworth305 it's a great bike with plenty of horsepower. I don't think you'll be disappointed. It's better than a Concours as well in my opinion.

@@Mt09memo 2024. It's basically the same model since 2017 though. Just different paint schemes from what I understand.

@@Bmw_Z3R 8r for sure. More power and better aero

A used 600

@@keithquinn5624 not relevant to the question.

@@keithquinn5624 lol! you're a used 600 😅

@@captainobvious5349 It's been awhile since I rode it but it wasn't terrible. I think it needed a bigger windshield though. That should help out a lot

@@itsgipsydanger9299 thanks man!

@@juicy9592 It's a demo ride dude. No passing, no wheelies, no slingshotting. I would love to hammer on it but unfortunately I couldn't. What little I did, I caught up in like 2 seconds.

You’re such a damn idiot. Ever been on a test ride or demo day?? Give it the beans?? Everyone has some shit to say. Keyboard warriors. Just shut you damn mouth and get a bike, ride it, then comment. Damn squid. Smh give it the beans!?!? Moron

@@Giixxersquid it is a unique display among the ones out there for sure. I guess it's just the color scheme of it that seems out of place. Just a quirk, nothing really bad about it for sure. Has all the info you need on it.

@@jasonuzzardo6508 what's wrong with that? I didn't see the need to switch given how easy it was to use and it's the least restrictive mode.

what are you getting at Jason??

@@dute007 if you mean heat coming off the engine, it can feel kind of warm but I also wear full gear so that doesn't help. It didn't run hot any though regarding getting sluggish if you meant that way.

The GS is more versatile and still handles very well on the road. If you wanted the ability to go off road at all I would go for the GS over the RT

@@BlackRiverRider OK, thanks

No it is not. GS is much taller and centre of gravity is higher. I rode both. In agility is the RT winner. More sporty, subjectivly lighter.

It does take some getting used to but looks much better in person.

I bet it sounds amazing with an exhaust!

This bike is part of a demo fleet, from the driving academy. It's already broken in and meant to be ridden however you want to, otherwise it wouldn't be given to the general public to ride. I've been on almost every newer Harley, even on the latest 121 CVO. It's actually the next video after this one if you did a little checking before making this post. They make torque sure, but due to being 300+ lbs heavier it's not nearly as noticeable. Thanks for showing your ignorance.

I've tried a 2019 Tracer 900 GT, but not the latest model. It was very fun, just so much wind buffeting. Loved the engine and ergo's though.

It breathed very good! A bit more so than other helmets due I believe air flow coming in from the top of the visor where it's supposed to seal. Airflow is probably the best of any helmet but also does make it louder as a result.

@@BlackRiverRider thank you

No problem. You can set the shutter to auto, but unless it's low light it will raise the shutter to very high levels which gives the video a jittery/cell phone look because each frame of video will have very little blur. In order to achieve natural motion blur for video, a "180-degree shutter" method is used. This basically means that you want your shutter to double the frame rate you are recording at. If recording at 24fps, use 1/48 shutter. If recording at 30fps, use 1/60 shutter. For 60fps you will use a 1/120 shutter speed if it's going to be slowed down. The problem with this is action cameras have digital stabilization which needs a high shutter speed to work properly. When set to lower shutter speeds to match the 180-degree rule, it gives the video artifacts that shouldn't be there as reverse motion blur because the camera tries to even out movement by shifting the video in the opposite direction. You can eliminate this by turning off stabilization but then it usually looks too shaky. Auto shutter will always give the best exposure and stabilization but at the expense of motion blur.

Can't say I've been on any older Harley so hard me to the speak on it. Just the newer versions of a lot of them.

my experience, which led me to buy one thankfully, is you need a longer test ride. it takes an hour or so just to come to terms with its size. fortunately the salesman said 'go out again for two hours'. brilliant and never looked back.

You won't be disappointed

They continually make revisions for sure. Much different than typical companies that have development cycles lasting years and hardly ever listen to customer feedback

Nothing wrong with that. They are not for everyone that's for sure.

It's a much more nuanced subject than that. Wages have barely risen in 30+ years across the board while the cost of living has skyrocketed. That's all I'll get into about it.

@@BlackRiverRider yes I understand the corrupted system we live under, but this generation doesn't want to work no matter what the pay, ✌️they're lazy stupid indoctrinated morons

R1250RT all day, everyday.

Just sold my 2022 Street Glide ST and just ordered a Triple Black 1250 RT. With the BMW RT you will not have to practice for hours and watch all the instructional videos on how to do tight 12 foot u-turns as the RT just makes it soooo easy and is 200 pounds lighter. Oh and the insurance is half as much for the BMW and has 3 year warranty.

@@ericjames7680 Congratulations.

@@guinnessstjames3627 Thank You!

@@ericjames7680 Looking forward to some vids showing off the new bike.

Thank you! I am between 5'9" and 5'10". The Road Glide was giving me more buffeting than the Street Glide. I believe this was due to the fairing being pushed out further on the RG whereas it was closer on the SG.

They are great machines. You do the same!

Dude same here, just bought it at 23,000 mi. Have an 86 and luv them both.

Agreed. I think with the new models though they have caught up. There's strengths and weaknesses to both. I don't think Indian has a model comparable to the CVO ST, but it's way overpriced too.

While they are overpriced, they are not junk by any means. It was a cloudy day with scattered showers, so that had a lot to do with the crowds. I didn't show the 200+ other people at the dealer and vendors. Only the demo section.

You obviously live in a bubble,

lol I’m on my 4th Harley. My 3rd new one. Bought a 23 Roadglide-ST last year. Only broke ass people like you say stupid comments like that.

Do they have cookies?

The dollar is the only thing keeping me from getting one too haha
