I never take long trips. I never put down mile after mile. I ride short trips, love canyons, and had three Suzuki Haybusas, a Kawasaki ZX-14, a Ninja 10R, and several dirt bikes. The ST is the way for me to go. I had a 23 RG ST... it was nice, but the 2024 is so much more amazing. Been watching all your videos, Ryan. Well done and thanks for being logical and not emotional.
The only remorse is not having one. Hard to decide between the Street glide and the Road glide, but if you have the cash get them both, is a good anniversary year for collectors pieces. Thank you for this video.
I have a 24 rg and love it. Been riding a loaner 24 sg and am really starting to love that too. Just feels like a way smaller bike, totally different. Now I want to buy a cvo sg too lol can't go wrong with either
Good advice, Ryan. I'm glad that I bought a SG in 2022; riding the 2024 SG, I was impressed with the added power and better suspension but not so impressed by the all-digital instrument panel. Frankly, I wouldn't spend the money on a 2024 - if I were inclined that way I'd want to wait and let HD iron the bugs out of the new infotainment system and see if any other issues show up on the new model, as I'm sure there will.
2024 SG MSRP is lower than the 22SG & the "new" skyline os has been updated many times currently where there are very few, if any, bugs left. Skyline came out in 2023 so it's not the 1st year of it. The 24 is a far superior bike to the 22 in every way - its crazy how much progress they've made in just 1 or 2 years. I'd trade in and upgrade sooner rather than later because those boom box gts bikes are becoming dinosaurs very fast and their value are tanking FAST. That's why HD are discounting the 23 baggers 8k+ with $0 down, no payments till 2025 and 2.99% APR - they can't give those bikes away!! Save yourself the money and find the highest volume dealership near u & beg them to trade ur bike in now at a decent price before it loses another 20% in vale by next year brother. Any issues will be under ur warranty, which for a 22 SG is about to end, if it already hasnt. Ride safe ✌
@@johnkenneally4662 don't ride one till ur ready to buy bc it'll make ur 2010 feel like a Vespa powered dinosaur. Those twin cams can't hold a flame to the new big m8's. WAY more powerful, more mpg, and more reliable & tunable (ez 130 hp to the wheel w mild cam exhaust intake & tune)
Ive got a heavily moded 2017 CVO Street Glide. It's got upgraded suspension, a zipper cam, a stage 4, a basanni two to one exhaust, heated grips, heated seat, and a dyno tune. The engine generates 132HP and a max 147 foot lbs of torque. The bike got hit by another rider during a Champ School Class(cut inside me on a turn). I wound up replacing every single body part that had any minor or major dings. Gunslingers loves me. It looks totally new. Ill be riding the bike for another ten years. The bike is just too compelling and good looking to replace.
When I went to the dealer I didn't even look at the whiskey fire I thought it was a CVO. I already bought it but the road glide black standard. The color sometimes looks red in photos. Thanks for the video 🙏
Many interesting choices for the 2024 Harleys. I chose the standard Road Glide, added SE pipes and Stage 1, Legend Revo shocks with front to follow. Rode many batwing models and find the RG lighter handling and more stable at highway speeds and cross winds. Thousands less and a great touring bike.
Good starting point for making a decision if you’re going to buy a new bike! 2/10/24 I took a ride on the new 24 RG, I have a 19RG and other than the new motor and head unit, I’m not seeing enough to justify making the jump as this is the first year the water cooled motor is in production and the Skyline head unit is only out since 23 on the CVO’s. I think if you don’t own a 107 or bigger than this might be a good option but I’m not seeing any read benefit!! They look great but just not enough to justify unless you just want one or you’re buying for the first time!!!
Very well said, Ryan!! The cvo st is a sick bike, but if you ride thousands of miles at a time and ride long haul all the time, the standard model is going to be better!! The st can probably do trips of up to 700 mile or so in a day but doing it all the time that would fatigue the rider pretty quick!!!
Just road my 2024 FLTRX from Myrtle Beach to Laconia NH. It was a great riding motorcycle. Handled the interstates with out any problems. Once there was able to carve the Kancamagus Pass as well. One complaint. Infotainment system couldn't be heard over 45 mph. Had to pump GPS and music through my SENA. Hence had a amp and speakers installed by Audiowerks. Big difference riding from my 2002 FLT, when I rode from Daytona Fl. to Laconia. In between these two motorcycles I have had had 2015, 2017, and a 2018, all FLTRX models. This by far is the smoothest, and has plenty of horse power and torque .
Thank you for your thoughtful energy and efforts providing great information, impression and your personal opinion in your reviews Mr. Ryan!! Great job! Thank you for your service as a police officer!
I just bought a 23 street glide for a great price and they gave me a good price on my trade. I don't like any of the 24 colors and I hate having 50 switches and a touch screen to boot like the 24.
I think basically if you’re someone who will just be crushing a lot of miles on the highway, the regular RG or SG will be more practical. You do sacrifice a few nice touring features if you get the ST CVO. You like high RPMs and just ripping around town or a track, get the CVO ST.

Good video Ryan. Lots of youTubers are jumping on the "these things are awesome" bandwagon without any detail like you provided. Great wisdom on including the upgrades most do making it their own.
I just got the 24 roadglide sharkskin blue black trim I went with this bike from a 19streetglide I liked the bar height and if you shave the pin you can adjust the bars even more did the stage one upgrade and love it the way it handles in curves and throttle response is amazing
Great review! Good luck with your new purchase. I’m going to wait for the hopeful upgrades to the road glide limited in the near future 🤞. Stay safe out there!!
Great Video Ryan! I unexpectedly ended up choosing a new 2023 CVO Street Glide in Platinum. I went in to the dealer to purchase a 2024 SG but this 23 was marked down 10%. Easy decision for me. I’m going Stage I. Waiting on pipes and breather. She doesn’t need any more than that! Great channel. Thanks again!
@@BryanGraves-jv7wq whiskey neat is prob the best cvo color ever made and platinum is easily the worst but it's not bad per say and worth the discount most dealers give bc it's the least desirable color & worst selling cvo ever made in 25 years. It's the bike upgrades that matter more than the color tho - I hope u weren't offered the 2 color choices at the same price. The resale on the platinum is horrendous, I work for hd and see $10,000 discrepancy between platinum & whiskey neat especially. Whiskey neat sells within days for 10k more than platinum that sits for months
@@Stripping_Bolts I was offered both, liked the platinum better, I could have bought either one, I’m glad I chose it , that’s your opinion, they had the burnt orange CVO left over, which I think is best color for 2024. But not worth $10,000 more, to me and thousands that bought this color,platinum is best color out there, it’s stealthy looking
@BryanGraves-jv7wq oh no, that's sales data - not my opinion. My opinion is that it's not a bad color, but sales on it were low and resale value is very bad. I wouldn't pay 10k more for whiskey neat either lol that was my point. Paint isn't worth that much imo it's the bikes components and the bike itself. I just hope the dealer didn't offer the 2 bike options at the same price is my point. Burnt orange, do you mean legendary orange? I think that colorway is worse than the platinum but sells better for some reason
@@Stripping_Bolts that does make sense. They actually had the whiskey neat alittle higher but I like the platinum better, I think the 24 CVO copperhead is the worst but many love it, it’s just what you like
I'm still very happy with my 2018 hard candy hotrod red flake street glide special and all the customizations done to it ,I also have a 2000 fatboy I still ride ,so I only have 8,500 miles on my street glide special have fun riding .
Thank you for the review. I literally made a decision today and used this review to support my decision. Ultimately I am sticking with my 2023 street glide special as my bike of choice. I was looking at the 2024 road glide but in the end….the performance capacity and classic design of the atlas silver 23 SG is still my favorite touring bike. I also own an Indian challenger 23 but usually ride that for ripping and tearing around town. When I want a long, peaceful and proud ride across America…it’s the 23 SG special for me. Thanks again!
I think you are spot on I would get a street glide maybe in the shark skin color. My old 09 road king with a 96 twin cam stage 1 with a tune holds on pretty good to the faster bikes and living in the western NC mountains I enjoy the old bike. The standard street glide with a tune would be all I would need. Thank you for the honest review.
Like most people, and owner of 2 ST models, Road Glide and Lowrider, i like the CVO ST. i had a 23 CVO SG, the infotainment system was very glitchy at best. I may wait another year to jump back on a CVO. I lost a lot of cash trading back out of it. But that CVO ST is nice looking, no denying that.
Ryan, been following you for years. I was caught in a dilemma, I bought a 2022 street glide st in May of 2023. Before that bike had been riding road glides which is my bike of choice, in 2015 myself and two of my friends rode to Anchorage Alaska on a 2015 road glide cvo. When I saw the 24 Road glide cvo st release in January the white cvo st just had me at hello. Then I went to my dealer the exact bike was on showroom floor the Friday before you went to Vegas to test ride the cvo st. I put my name on the bike to buy, then they hit me with a decreased 6,000 trade in value on my bike. Watched your videos on review of bike talking about maybe this bike would not be a perfect bike for touring. Test rode bike, the suspension and handling is a big improvement over 22 st, plus torque and power is a adrenaline rush. Needless to say I bought bike today, look forward to future updates and info you give on these new models. The only downfall is cannot ride two up on bike, wife will not ride without backrest, hopefully they will come out with relocation hardware for the shock adjustments. Thank you for your service and keep up the good work !
Great rundown. Thanks for saying Standard 77 times. Only Standard is a Softail. There are no other "Standard s". CVO ST is pointless. Should have been "race ready" like the Indian Challenger KofB version. Otherwise it's just a ricky racer waiting to be smoked by a 20 year old clapped out GSXR. Manually adjustable suspension on 50k bikes? No thanks. Still 10 years behind the competition. Head over to your local BMW dealer for function and performance for a lot less dead Presidents.
great vid I have been riding for over 40 years, if i wanted a big bagger I would buy a goldwing. I will stick with my analogue gages when i ride it to get away not take tec with me, it is a personal thing no phone and just old style road maps
Great series of vids on the '24 models, thanks! I didn't read all comments, but what stood out to me was your not pointing out the stupid cable clutch! Please rant on it...please please...
LOl~~ I've ranted publicly every since they went back to that old technology. I'm tired......🤣. Ooops, there, I started ranting again. GO BACK TO HYDRAULIC. IT'S BETTER IN EVERY WAY
Your videos are always very helpful. I think I am going to go with the Street Glide. I feel like the bat wing gives better wind and weather protection than the shark nose. To me the street glide also feels more nimble. But I do like the look of the road glide.
Good points. I agree, especially your hands etc with the batwing. More protection. Plus us cool guys ride the batwing. LOL~~~ (I'm kidding all you sharnose guys)
Wise choice for standard. CVO ST is a track bike. Drinks more gas and has less low end torque but more in the upper range than stock. It only wins in looks and not in practicality. I ride mostly aggressively in the Twisties and go on two week get away rides.But this ST should of been a little more balanced for both road riding, but Instead they went full force as a track day bike. The fad of over building bikes that no one really uses to its potential is such a waste. People who know how to ride like yourself can easily ride or out ride a rider with a fast bike in the Twisties if they don't know how to ride properly. I hope this video helps some guys make wiser decisions.
I’ve owned both the shark nose fairing and the batwing fairing. I’m on the shorter side at 5’9”. Because the cockpit is more open on the shark nose, I think it suits taller people better and the batwing fits shorter people better. Maybe that’s just my opinion, but that is part of why I like the batwing. The other part is I just think it looks sleeker. Bulky isn’t something I go for. I like both, but on a scale from 1 to 10, on the older model, I liked the batwing bikes best giving it an 8 out of 10 in looks. The older shark nose would get a 7 out of 10 in my book. These newer models both improved in the looks department for me. I like both a whole lot. It was TIME for a change. I would now give the batwing bike a 10 out of 10 and the shark nose an 8 out of 10.
While I like the redesign, matte black plastic all over the bike looks cheap, the front wheel looks like an afterthought, like a newer Enforcer, but not even all black on the black bikes. And, streamliner floorboards?
My future choice is almost the same as yours.. whiskey fire street glide, with 95% of the add ons you mentioned. Jury is out for me on which shocks to install. This is a great honest video you put together answering a lot of questions of the ‘average street glide rider’ .. thank you for all your videos and diy how to’s installs and the pro and cons on issues. You mentioned at the end of the video ‘if you were to purchase’.. did you or are you purchasing a new bike vs your 2014 sgs ?
I’d love your take on these new standard touring bikes vs the previous Street/Road Glide ST. With them now being available for about the same price, why would you choose one over the other?
Great content. Unfortunately, I won't consider purchasing a Harley because Wildhorse Harley Davidson in Bend, Oregon is so terrible to deal with. Such a shame compared to past experiences at different dealers. No other options in Central Oregon.
My RGL is a ‘21, so I’m not ready to jump yet. And thanks to the LAB store and Lurch, I added V&H Eliminator 400s back in November (and Biker Gripper). It will be interesting to see what the changes to the Limited bikes will be for next year, but I absolutely hate the fact that HD puts in that new display, then nickel and dimes for a subscription fee to use built-in Nav.
Appreciated this vid. You are talking practical stuff here..I have to be honest, I love the ST. I haven’t seen such a fine looking stock HD in a long time but I’m intent on riding long distances. My budget obviously as well. Regular Road Glide for me. I will say though that the Street Glide is very good looking too. I’d have to see one and ride one to figure that out.
What did HD do to correct the 2023 CVO SG fairing aerodynamic issues for the 2024 models? It's bullshit that it hasn't been addressed. HD claimed weight savings but later added a "ballast" to correct aero issues. If you're a reputable HD resource, please answer.
I am not in the market for a new Harley but I support your channel and love the content. Prior to this video I priced out the 2024 Street Glide for fun and added the 2 up-touring "kit" they have now. The price was similar to the 2024 Ultra Classic. So it is just a matter of a little more motor at that point I guess. But if add in the new display and rider assist modes then Hmmm. For now though the Twin Cam 2015 Road King is good enough for 2 up riding in and around Upstate New York. And of course the slow speed practice sessions. But ask me again when my kids are out of college. LoL. Ride Safe, Be Safe.
Well done Ryan. The 24 lineup are all a definite improvement. Nicely chosen. Thought you mighta gone for the Indian Pursuit with that incredible 108 power plus engine. Enjoy the new ride.
Most excellent review, Ryan. I love them all. I was considering a 24 CVO ST. Would love to have one but feel I'm better suited to a Limited. I do long range trips and decided to go with a '23 Limited. It's getting Street Cannons and that's it.
I love the new models, they look really great. I am very interested in the Road Glides, as a potential replacement for my 2017 Ultra Limited. I AM going to hold off for about 3 to 4 model years, so I can see that Harley has worked out any design flaws in the infotainment system and engine. I was fortunate to not to experience any of the sumping and blow by issues on my 2017, but I did decide to install a performance cam and replace my cam plate and oil pump with the S&S gear driven unit. I did this primarily to remove the questionable OEM oil pump. My only negative comment for Harley is that it would be nice if they could learn to catch issues such as the original M8 oil pump before releasing the bikes to the public. My concern for this is so substantial, that I will definitely will not be upgrading now. I need clear demonstration through a couple of model years, that there are no issues to work around as a new owner. Sorry Harley, I love these new designs, but I am unwilling to be your final level of R&D!!!
What would be a reasonable price to buy a new 2023 Harley Street Glide 107 (standard) compared to the 2024 model? Is the 2024 actually improved overall compared to a 2023?
Thanks for the video. I’m curious about the highway pegs. Seen one of your videos with the frame mount ones but noticed in the video you had different ones. I had decided to get them frame mounted ones but now I’m undecided. Did they interfere with the lean angle?
I am leaning towards the cvo road glide, but this video makes it harder for me to decide.I like shinny new toys with lots of bells and whistles, but I also have tricked out my Heritage with a custom seat heated grips Legend revo-A suspension, which is so nice to adjust from the buttons on the handlebars, and a bunch of other things. Almost all of that comes on the cvo. If the Showa suspension is good enough for my 3 herniated discs to keep riding without pain, it isn’t a huge jump from the tricked out standard RG. Then I have to think about resale. This a a question, I hear the CVO will always hold more value, is the difference enough to pay the extra like 9K up front for the vvt and 121 or should I not worry about it and customize the standard like you suggest? It’s just harder now!
I think it's super rad that Harley built a track focused bagger, but for track days i'll be taking my Kawasaki H2R so for my it's the standard Street Glide or the Road Glide because it's a touring motorcycle to experience the world on. So for me the question is Street Glide or Road Glide. It's leaning towards the Street Glide because it's just so damn classy, elegant and graceful.
I wonder why they left the biggest touring model a 114 but upgraded all the other motors. We ride 2 up on long trips loaded down with gear, the Limited's and Ultras are the ones which need the power upgrade and besides the CVO are the most expensive. Ill hold onto my 2020 for a while I think...
I recently test rode a 24 SG. I didn’t think it’s was a big enough upgrade from my 2016 to pull the trigger. I only tour on mine, I never really ride locally. Do you think Harley will ever make a touring bike with an electric windshield? All other touring bikes have them except Harley
I have seen a few people jumping on the band wagon and buying these right out the gate. The end up with a machine that fails on them. I’ll say it again like I said it before Harley is selling a beer budget product and charging expensive champagne prices.
Definitely NOT. After 14 with the Rushmore bikes that went away with new frame design. You are in for a HUGE UPGRADE from a pre 14 biker. Enjoy. Like a cadillac
As always, great insight into these new bikes. One thing I remain curious about is the Limiteds and Ultras? Mid-year intro or are they just going to push the “option packages” on these updated base models?
The whiskey fire was my first option to Ryan. But my mind changed when I seen the Blue Burst in the Black trim at my local dealership. I've been on a Trike for a few years due to accident, but I've been waiting to go back to two wheels for a while now. I just don't know if I want the Street or Road Glide just yet.
I would not get any of them, before they haven‘t fixed the bad iphone integration, the lazy-lowsie-slow boot-up time and the wobbly flexy cases (which easily will create leaks, won’t last with the constant „moving“ and likely won‘t hold when the bike lays on them without a protection frame). I like the new models, but these are pretty annoying issues to spend so much money on a reliable tourer. And, I have a big tourer that still holds up with all I need, a Indian Chieftain Limited, specked up in suspension, Screen and lights.
Those are some awesome bikes. But base price of $43K? Plus all the dealer add ons is probably closer to $50K. I believe that I can do a whole lot of upgrades to my old Electraglide for that. And still have plenty left to totally rebuild my Shovelhead.
Everything you described changes are standard on the Indian Challenger hahah .....go figure better suspension better brakes more power power windshield
I think you have pulled the trigger on a 24 since this video, now that you have one for a while how your headsets you already had work with the new system. I have a nagging feeling we will have to give up our old HD branded headsets and get new cardio HD headsets to have full functionality with the 24 bikes. Just like all the pitfalls that went the old whim compatibility set up.
The reps have never told me what I can or cannot say. They are really good people and let me do what I do best. I'll never change my honest reviews and opinions for anyone. It's what I've built my channel on and I'm here to serve bikers.
Congrats Ryan! Great video. Are you keeping your Street Glide? I just bought a new CVO, but I'm keeping my 2015 U. Limited. It's still just as nice and this new CVO, I'm not kidding!!
All the rider safety enhancements are an absolute deal breaker. The only thing missing are audio alerts popping thru the speakers, "You're going to fast", "Don't follow that car so close", "Slow down there's a sharp curve coming up", etc. Subscription for the navigation, pah.

Solid video Ryan. Great breakdown. It was awesome riding with you for a couple days. 🤙🏼 Take care.
Thanks bro. ALWAYS great hanging out and riding with you. You are a wealth of knowledge.
1-Save for the cvo st
2-Get the standard
3-Drop a 131ci stg4
4-Wilbers
5-Use spare money on fuel and party
I'm not a fan of the 2024 models, I loved the stretched bags that hugged the slip ons.
I do like the new ferring lighting though
Already an owner of a long distance tour bike, the ST is for ME!
I never take long trips. I never put down mile after mile. I ride short trips, love canyons, and had three Suzuki Haybusas, a Kawasaki ZX-14, a Ninja 10R, and several dirt bikes. The ST is the way for me to go. I had a 23 RG ST... it was nice, but the 2024 is so much more amazing. Been watching all your videos, Ryan. Well done and thanks for being logical and not emotional.
The only remorse is not having one. Hard to decide between the Street glide and the Road glide, but if you have the cash get them both, is a good anniversary year for collectors pieces. Thank you for this video.
TY!!
I have a 24 rg and love it. Been riding a loaner 24 sg and am really starting to love that too. Just feels like a way smaller bike, totally different. Now I want to buy a cvo sg too lol can't go wrong with either

Save yourself the money and find the highest volume dealership near u & beg them to trade ur bike in now at a decent price before it loses another 20% in vale by next year brother. Any issues will be under ur warranty, which for a 22 SG is about to end, if it already hasnt. Ride safe ✌

I like you understood my thoughts, i posted at your previous video, that standards Road Glide or Street Glide is the ideal choice !
Right on!
Ive got a heavily moded 2017 CVO Street Glide. It's got upgraded suspension, a zipper cam, a stage 4, a basanni two to one exhaust, heated grips, heated seat, and a dyno tune. The engine generates 132HP and a max 147 foot lbs of torque. The bike got hit by another rider during a Champ School Class(cut inside me on a turn).

purchased a 2024 RoadGlide in Whiskey Fire Red! traded my 2018 RoadGlide.. Ready to crush so.e miles! I love it!
Great review and info! I just purchased the 24 road glide in whiskey fire, great bike.
Good choice! I'M GONNA COME STEAL IT!!! LOL~~~~~ Enjoy that bike!!
@@RyanUrlacher Thanks brother👍
I'm wondering if dealers are selling them at MSRP? Or higher?
@@michaelroy925 I got mine at MSRP, but I know some dealers are jacking up prices.
When I went to the dealer I didn't even look at the whiskey fire I thought it was a CVO. I already bought it but the road glide black standard. The color sometimes looks red in photos. Thanks for the video 🙏
Many interesting choices for the 2024 Harleys. I chose the standard Road Glide, added SE pipes and Stage 1, Legend Revo shocks with front to follow. Rode many batwing models and find the RG lighter handling and more stable at highway speeds and cross winds. Thousands less and a great touring bike.

Just road my 2024 FLTRX from Myrtle Beach to Laconia NH. It was a great riding motorcycle. Handled the interstates with out any problems. Once there was able to carve the Kancamagus Pass as well. One complaint. Infotainment system couldn't be heard over 45 mph. Had to pump GPS and music through my SENA. Hence had a amp and speakers installed by Audiowerks. Big difference riding from my 2002 FLT, when I rode from Daytona Fl. to Laconia. In between these two motorcycles I have had had 2015, 2017, and a 2018, all FLTRX models. This by far is the smoothest, and has plenty of horse power and torque .
Thank you for your thoughtful energy and efforts providing great information, impression and your personal opinion in your reviews Mr. Ryan!!
Great job!
Thank you for your service as a police officer!
I appreciate that!
I just bought a 23 street glide for a great price and they gave me a good price on my trade. I don't like any of the 24 colors and I hate having 50 switches and a touch screen to boot like the 24.
Thanks Ryan! It’s tough, I love that 24 SG. The standard is good for my kinda riding, you cleared that up nicely. We’ll see? I’m Thinking on it.
I know this is a 24 video but I'm so stoked about picking up my 23 Whiskey Neat CVO Roadglide tonight. Love the changes.
That is awesome!
Went with a Goldwing DCT Tour. Smooth, Quiet and handles better for me. Love its looks.
I think basically if you’re someone who will just be crushing a lot of miles on the highway, the regular RG or SG will be more practical. You do sacrifice a few nice touring features if you get the ST CVO. You like high RPMs and just ripping around town or a track, get the CVO ST.
Just purchased white CVO ST. My wife got the shark skin RG with black trim. Fun times ahead.

Thanks for that!
Good video Ryan. Lots of youTubers are jumping on the "these things are awesome" bandwagon without any detail like you provided. Great wisdom on including the upgrades most do making it their own.
I REALLY appreciate that feedback!
Still details not mentioned that make me not buy those bikes, yet, waiting for a later generation.
Love your choice! I just got the Whisky Fire RG & love my ride. Safe travels sir!
Lucky dog!!!! Enjoy that bike!
I just got the 24 roadglide sharkskin blue black trim I went with this bike from a 19streetglide I liked the bar height and if you shave the pin you can adjust the bars even more did the stage one upgrade and love it the way it handles in curves and throttle response is amazing
Great review! Good luck with your new purchase. I’m going to wait for the hopeful upgrades to the road glide limited in the near future 🤞. Stay safe out there!!
Fingers crossed! I totally believe the others will get the fairing/tank/bag/digital dash system in 2025.
Great Video Ryan! I unexpectedly ended up choosing a new 2023 CVO Street Glide in Platinum. I went in to the dealer to purchase a 2024 SG but this 23 was marked down 10%. Easy decision for me.
I’m going Stage I. Waiting on pipes and breather. She doesn’t need any more than that!
Great channel. Thanks again!
@@Dandre01 I just bought a platinum and love it, pictures makes it look just ok, but in person it’s awesome, I had choice on whiskey neat or platinum
@@BryanGraves-jv7wq whiskey neat is prob the best cvo color ever made and platinum is easily the worst but it's not bad per say and worth the discount most dealers give bc it's the least desirable color & worst selling cvo ever made in 25 years. It's the bike upgrades that matter more than the color tho - I hope u weren't offered the 2 color choices at the same price. The resale on the platinum is horrendous, I work for hd and see $10,000 discrepancy between platinum & whiskey neat especially. Whiskey neat sells within days for 10k more than platinum that sits for months
@@Stripping_Bolts I was offered both, liked the platinum better, I could have bought either one, I’m glad I chose it , that’s your opinion, they had the burnt orange CVO left over, which I think is best color for 2024. But not worth $10,000 more, to me and thousands that bought this color,platinum is best color out there, it’s stealthy looking
@BryanGraves-jv7wq oh no, that's sales data - not my opinion. My opinion is that it's not a bad color, but sales on it were low and resale value is very bad. I wouldn't pay 10k more for whiskey neat either lol that was my point. Paint isn't worth that much imo it's the bikes components and the bike itself. I just hope the dealer didn't offer the 2 bike options at the same price is my point.
Burnt orange, do you mean legendary orange? I think that colorway is worse than the platinum but sells better for some reason
@@Stripping_Bolts that does make sense. They actually had the whiskey neat alittle higher but I like the platinum better, I think the 24 CVO copperhead is the worst but many love it, it’s just what you like
I'm still very happy with my 2018 hard candy hotrod red flake street glide special and all the customizations done to it ,I also have a 2000 fatboy I still ride ,so I only have 8,500 miles on my street glide special have fun riding .
Thank you for the review. I literally made a decision today and used this review to support my decision. Ultimately I am sticking with my 2023 street glide special as my bike of choice. I was looking at the 2024 road glide but in the end….the performance capacity and classic design of the atlas silver 23 SG is still my favorite touring bike. I also own an Indian challenger 23 but usually ride that for ripping and tearing around town. When I want a long, peaceful and proud ride across America…it’s the 23 SG special for me. Thanks again!
Rock on!! Great choice
You nailed it bro. The CVO RG ST is simply amazing but just not the bike that would fit my needs. Awesome video 👊🏻
I think you are spot on I would get a street glide maybe in the shark skin color. My old 09 road king with a 96 twin cam stage 1 with a tune holds on pretty good to the faster bikes and living in the western NC mountains I enjoy the old bike. The standard street glide with a tune would be all I would need. Thank you for the honest review.
U betcha
Like most people, and owner of 2 ST models, Road Glide and Lowrider, i like the CVO ST. i had a 23 CVO SG, the infotainment system was very glitchy at best. I may wait another year to jump back on a CVO. I lost a lot of cash trading back out of it. But that CVO ST is nice looking, no denying that.
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for clearing a few things up. Was hoping they'd be cleaner looking under the bags
Ryan, been following you for years. I was caught in a dilemma, I bought a 2022 street glide st in May of 2023. Before that bike had been riding road glides which is my bike of choice, in 2015 myself and two of my friends rode to Anchorage Alaska on a 2015 road glide cvo. When I saw the 24 Road glide cvo st release in January the white cvo st just had me at hello. Then I went to my dealer the exact bike was on showroom floor the Friday before you went to Vegas to test ride the cvo st. I put my name on the bike to buy, then they hit me with a decreased 6,000 trade in value on my bike. Watched your videos on review of bike talking about maybe this bike would not be a perfect bike for touring. Test rode bike, the suspension and handling is a big improvement over 22 st, plus torque and power is a adrenaline rush. Needless to say I bought bike today, look forward to future updates and info you give on these new models. The only downfall is cannot ride two up on bike, wife will not ride without backrest, hopefully they will come out with relocation hardware for the shock adjustments. Thank you for your service and keep up the good work !
Great rundown. Thanks for saying Standard 77 times. Only Standard is a Softail. There are no other "Standard s". CVO ST is pointless. Should have been "race ready" like the Indian Challenger KofB version. Otherwise it's just a ricky racer waiting to be smoked by a 20 year old clapped out GSXR. Manually adjustable suspension on 50k bikes? No thanks. Still 10 years behind the competition. Head over to your local BMW dealer for function and performance for a lot less dead Presidents.
I wanted a Road Glide, until I test road a BMW S1000XR, and then bought it 👍🏻
great vid I have been riding for over 40 years, if i wanted a big bagger I would buy a goldwing. I will stick with my analogue gages when i ride it to get away not take tec with me, it is a personal thing no phone and just old style road maps
Great series of vids on the '24 models, thanks! I didn't read all comments, but what stood out to me was your not pointing out the stupid cable clutch! Please rant on it...please please...
LOl~~ I've ranted publicly every since they went back to that old technology. I'm tired......🤣. Ooops, there, I started ranting again. GO BACK TO HYDRAULIC. IT'S BETTER IN EVERY WAY
Your videos are always very helpful. I think I am going to go with the Street Glide. I feel like the bat wing gives better wind and weather protection than the shark nose. To me the street glide also feels more nimble. But I do like the look of the road glide.
Good points. I agree, especially your hands etc with the batwing. More protection. Plus us cool guys ride the batwing. LOL~~~ (I'm kidding all you sharnose guys)
Wise choice for standard. CVO ST is a track bike. Drinks more gas and has less low end torque but more in the upper range than stock. It only wins in looks and not in practicality. I ride mostly aggressively in the Twisties and go on two week get away rides.But this ST should of been a little more balanced for both road riding, but Instead they went full force as a track day bike. The fad of over building bikes that no one really uses to its potential is such a waste. People who know how to ride like yourself can easily ride or out ride a rider with a fast bike in the Twisties if they don't know how to ride properly. I hope this video helps some guys make wiser decisions.
Thanks for sharing!
I’ve owned both the shark nose fairing and the batwing fairing. I’m on the shorter side at 5’9”. Because the cockpit is more open on the shark nose, I think it suits taller people better and the batwing fits shorter people better. Maybe that’s just my opinion, but that is part of why I like the batwing. The other part is I just think it looks sleeker. Bulky isn’t something I go for. I like both, but on a scale from 1 to 10, on the older model, I liked the batwing bikes best giving it an 8 out of 10 in looks. The older shark nose would get a 7 out of 10 in my book. These newer models both improved in the looks department for me. I like both a whole lot. It was TIME for a change. I would now give the batwing bike a 10 out of 10 and the shark nose an 8 out of 10.
I don't like the short carbon fiber front fender. It doesn't keep dirt off the radiator.
Enjoyed watching your video and your take on each bike. I’m leaning towards the Rodglide myself, currently riding a 13’ Electraglide
While I like the redesign, matte black plastic all over the bike looks cheap, the front wheel looks like an afterthought, like a newer Enforcer, but not even all black on the black bikes. And, streamliner floorboards?
I also really dislike the new wheels, and the unpainted fairing. Like you said, the wheels just don’t match on the black trim option bikes IMO.
Ryan my man, extremely informative review. Very well broken dwn, bike by bike.
Much appreciated!
Great review and some very valid points. I think my 2019 Road Glide Ultra still fits my travel style as it is a stage 2 with mid range cam.
My future choice is almost the same as yours.. whiskey fire street glide, with 95% of the add ons you mentioned. Jury is out for me on which shocks to install. This is a great honest video you put together answering a lot of questions of the ‘average street glide rider’ .. thank you for all your videos and diy how to’s installs and the pro and cons on issues. You mentioned at the end of the video ‘if you were to purchase’.. did you or are you purchasing a new bike vs your 2014 sgs ?
Yes, in talks with quite a few dealerships about purchasing a 2024 Street Glide Whiskey Fire!
good luck ryan.. happy for ya.. @@RyanUrlacher
Awesome review and detail of the new bikes. I love what HD has done with the touring line. It’s gonna be the CVO ST in my garage this year.
I like the reasons for your pick. I would go the same way except I would go with the ride glide
Rock on!!
Great Job on explaining the different trims.
I’d love your take on these new standard touring bikes vs the previous Street/Road Glide ST. With them now being available for about the same price, why would you choose one over the other?
No surprise, I knew when you posted your old one for sale it was time for the 10 year upgrade. Already picked the color too 😂
Great review and reminder why I ride a 2022 Heritage Classic 114
Great content. Unfortunately, I won't consider purchasing a Harley because Wildhorse Harley Davidson in Bend, Oregon is so terrible to deal with. Such a shame compared to past experiences at different dealers. No other options in Central Oregon.
Just acquired the SG CVO in cooperhead .. safe rides 🎉🎉
Thank you. This video was extremely informational and helpful.
My RGL is a ‘21, so I’m not ready to jump yet. And thanks to the LAB store and Lurch, I added V&H Eliminator 400s back in November (and Biker Gripper). It will be interesting to see what the changes to the Limited bikes will be for next year, but I absolutely hate the fact that HD puts in that new display, then nickel and dimes for a subscription fee to use built-in Nav.
Appreciated this vid. You are talking practical stuff here..I have to be honest, I love the ST. I haven’t seen such a fine looking stock HD in a long time but I’m intent on riding long distances. My budget obviously as well. Regular Road Glide for me. I will say though that the Street Glide is very good looking too. I’d have to see one and ride one to figure that out.
Right on
Awesome review! I think I’m going to hang on to my 21 ultra stage 2 and roll more miles
Right on!
Not a fan of the new styling. Glad I was able to scoop up a 23 street glide special at a good price. Safe riding.
Me ether. I think the new fairings are grossly over-styled.
What did HD do to correct the 2023 CVO SG fairing aerodynamic issues for the 2024 models? It's bullshit that it hasn't been addressed. HD claimed weight savings but later added a "ballast" to correct aero issues. If you're a reputable HD resource, please answer.
What they did was limit the top speed to 100mph.
I am not in the market for a new Harley but I support your channel and love the content. Prior to this video I priced out the 2024 Street Glide for fun and added the 2 up-touring "kit" they have now. The price was similar to the 2024 Ultra Classic. So it is just a matter of a little more motor at that point I guess. But if add in the new display and rider assist modes then Hmmm. For now though the Twin Cam 2015 Road King is good enough for 2 up riding in and around Upstate New York. And of course the slow speed practice sessions. But ask me again when my kids are out of college. LoL. Ride Safe, Be Safe.
Thanks so much!!!!!!
I REALLY want the legandary orange CVO to replace my 2015 Amber whiskey SG
Well done Ryan. The 24 lineup are all a definite improvement. Nicely chosen. Thought you mighta gone for the Indian Pursuit with that incredible 108 power plus engine. Enjoy the new ride.
Wish I could have them all!! Damn money thing you know. LOL~~
Most excellent review, Ryan. I love them all. I was considering a 24 CVO ST. Would love to have one but feel I'm better suited to a Limited. I do long range trips and decided to go with a '23 Limited. It's getting Street Cannons and that's it.
Right on!
I love the new models, they look really great. I am very interested in the Road Glides, as a potential replacement for my 2017 Ultra Limited. I AM going to hold off for about 3 to 4 model years, so I can see that Harley has worked out any design flaws in the infotainment system and engine. I was fortunate to not to experience any of the sumping and blow by issues on my 2017, but I did decide to install a performance cam and replace my cam plate and oil pump with the S&S gear driven unit. I did this primarily to remove the questionable OEM oil pump. My only negative comment for Harley is that it would be nice if they could learn to catch issues such as the original M8 oil pump before releasing the bikes to the public. My concern for this is so substantial, that I will definitely will not be upgrading now. I need clear demonstration through a couple of model years, that there are no issues to work around as a new owner. Sorry Harley, I love these new designs, but I am unwilling to be your final level of R&D!!!
What would be a reasonable price to buy a new 2023 Harley Street Glide 107 (standard) compared to the 2024 model? Is the 2024 actually improved overall compared to a 2023?
Thanks for the video. I’m curious about the highway pegs. Seen one of your videos with the frame mount ones but noticed in the video you had different ones. I had decided to get them frame mounted ones but now I’m undecided. Did they interfere with the lean angle?
Brother, you breaking down so awesome. Thank you so very much
Thanks Ryan much appreciated. You explain things so well it’s very heartwarming for me. My best regards always.
Thanks very much for the kind comment. Means a lot to me.
I am leaning towards the cvo road glide, but this video makes it harder for me to decide.I like shinny new toys with lots of bells and whistles, but I also have tricked out my Heritage with a custom seat heated grips Legend revo-A suspension, which is so nice to adjust from the buttons on the handlebars, and a bunch of other things. Almost all of that comes on the cvo. If the Showa suspension is good enough for my 3 herniated discs to keep riding without pain, it isn’t a huge jump from the tricked out standard RG. Then I have to think about resale. This a a question, I hear the CVO will always hold more value, is the difference enough to pay the extra like 9K up front for the vvt and 121 or should I not worry about it and customize the standard like you suggest? It’s just harder now!
Hello Ryan, i am going to wait for a while until they work out the bugs.
Agreed and keep up the great work you do!
I think it's super rad that Harley built a track focused bagger, but for track days i'll be taking my Kawasaki H2R so for my it's the standard Street Glide or the Road Glide because it's a touring motorcycle to experience the world on. So for me the question is Street Glide or Road Glide. It's leaning towards the Street Glide because it's just so damn classy, elegant and graceful.
rock on!!
I wonder why they left the biggest touring model a 114 but upgraded all the other motors. We ride 2 up on long trips loaded down with gear, the Limited's and Ultras are the ones which need the power upgrade and besides the CVO are the most expensive. Ill hold onto my 2020 for a while I think...
204,000 subs. Congrats. I feel like an og when you only had a couple thousand. ⚔️❤️🇺🇸
Yeah!! We are OG's for sure. 11 years on TH-cam and long before it was "cool". Just helping bikers.
I recently test rode a 24 SG. I didn’t think it’s was a big enough upgrade from my 2016 to pull the trigger.
I only tour on mine, I never really ride locally.
Do you think Harley will ever make a touring bike with an electric windshield? All other touring bikes have them except Harley
Great video Ryan, the std Road Glide in Sharkskin Blue is my pick
Good choice!
I have seen a few people jumping on the band wagon and buying these right out the gate. The end up with a machine that fails on them. I’ll say it again like I said it before Harley is selling a beer budget product and charging expensive champagne prices.
Awesome video. Do you think the 24 street glide will have head shake at high speed like my 13 ultra?
Definitely NOT. After 14 with the Rushmore bikes that went away with new frame design. You are in for a HUGE UPGRADE from a pre 14 biker. Enjoy. Like a cadillac
I bought a standard whiskey fire, blacked out. I absolutely love it.
Good choice!
As always, great insight into these new bikes. One thing I remain curious about is the Limiteds and Ultras? Mid-year intro or are they just going to push the “option packages” on these updated base models?
I totally believe (no inside info) the other touring models will get the fairing/tank/bag/digital dash system in 2025.
The whiskey fire was my first option to Ryan. But my mind changed when I seen the Blue Burst in the Black trim at my local dealership. I've been on a Trike for a few years due to accident, but I've been waiting to go back to two wheels for a while now. I just don't know if I want the Street or Road Glide just yet.
That's just awesome to here!! Glad you have recovered from an accident. Whichever you choose.....ENJOY!!
How is the wind management between the RG and SG? With the 15-23 fairings the RG has better wind management. How do these compare?
I would not get any of them, before they haven‘t fixed the bad iphone integration, the lazy-lowsie-slow boot-up time and the wobbly flexy cases (which easily will create leaks, won’t last with the constant „moving“ and likely won‘t hold when the bike lays on them without a protection frame).
I like the new models, but these are pretty annoying issues to spend so much money on a reliable tourer.
And, I have a big tourer that still holds up with all I need, a Indian Chieftain Limited, specked up in suspension, Screen and lights.
not crazy about a twin-cooled V-Twin, have 2. Just something else to go wrong, have already experienced.
Quick question if you have an Android phone. And you have Sirius XM and Pandora on that Android phone. Can you bluetooth it to a CVO ST ?
Those are some awesome bikes. But base price of $43K? Plus all the dealer add ons is probably closer to $50K. I believe that I can do a whole lot of upgrades to my old Electraglide for that. And still have plenty left to totally rebuild my Shovelhead.
Enjoy your new bike
I’m also worried about everything going through the Touchscreen! 🏍💨🏍💨
Touchscreens don't last very long.
Everything you described changes are standard on the Indian Challenger hahah .....go figure better suspension better brakes more power power windshield
I think you have pulled the trigger on a 24 since this video, now that you have one for a while how your headsets you already had work with the new system. I have a nagging feeling we will have to give up our old HD branded headsets and get new cardio HD headsets to have full functionality with the 24 bikes. Just like all the pitfalls that went the old whim compatibility set up.
I want the CVO RG but interest rates have me not buying right now.
Which Simpson character profile looks most like the profile of the new road glide fairing?
Thank you Ryan. I wonder what Harley thinks of your independent reviews?
The reps have never told me what I can or cannot say. They are really good people and let me do what I do best. I'll never change my honest reviews and opinions for anyone. It's what I've built my channel on and I'm here to serve bikers.
@@RyanUrlacherThank you for having such high standards. Love the channel!
Hello from Sweden! Great video!
Shout out Sweden!!
Great Choice! Just happens to be My Choice Also 😎 Great info
You have GREAT TASTE!! 😂
BTW, Do the standard models have heated grips and or heated seats?
Congrats Ryan! Great video. Are you keeping your Street Glide? I just bought a new CVO, but I'm keeping my 2015 U. Limited. It's still just as nice and this new CVO, I'm not kidding!!
Likely won't keep the 14' SG. I already have 2 other Harley's.
All the rider safety enhancements are an absolute deal breaker. The only thing missing are audio alerts popping thru the speakers, "You're going to fast", "Don't follow that car so close", "Slow down there's a sharp curve coming up", etc. Subscription for the navigation, pah.
Yah, all touring motorcycle manufacturers are dong rider safety enhancements. It's the current market.
