Good summation... Since that's what I have, I'm a 96" guy (but a softail, my Ultra days are behind me). Nicely done -- if one needs the technogadgetry , then your rankings appear solid, but I'm sort of a bare=bones rider these days, so ABS, cruise and hot-n-cold running water I can do without...
I agree. Some riders (including myself) enjoy the oldschool Harley experience without all the modern shenanigans. That's what Rick Astley tried to tell at 1:33 😄 Yet, I have to admit, that I also appreciate having some of the modern features, especially on longer trips (such as the "easy open" saddlebags and the electronic cruise control).
very well thoughtafter video. i am riding a Anniversary edition V-Rod, excellent motorcycle , but it has its shortcomings, as i have been finding out after my long trips. even adding luggage bags , its still not the same thing as having saddlebags, also, no fairing puts alot of air pressure on the body. small rides, its amazing , but for long distance touring e.g. anything more then 200 miles, a dedicated touring bike is the way to go. i am leaning towards the Road Glide.
Awesome review! 👌 My favorite is 11:17 the most aesthetically pleasing model in my opinion! How many Harley models are left that you haven't tried riding yet😅?
Thank you! I've mostly ridden Twin Cams, EVOs, and also Milwaukee Eight models. Yet, I am very curious to ride newer Harley models with the 1250 cc engines. Also, if I gain the opportunity, i'd also enjoy a Shovel or Panhead ;-) Let's see what the future brings.
Nice video. For me I'm gonna say buy the 07-08 screaming eagle model. Comes with twin cam 110. Little over a grand in parts and they make 120-130 ft/lb and 110-120hp.
Thank you. You're right, the CVO machines are hidden gems. I will do an episode purely on CVO models soon, since they have their own pros and cons. Stay tuned!
I have a 1999 88 Road glide injection, a UK main dealer demo bike with cruise control. Not my first choice but after having to sell my evo Electra glide sport a year earlier due to finances, at £3200 the RG was the cheapest HD I could find which wasn't a Sportster..... 5 years on and (although heavy) I do love it. Other than the cam issue I must point out the cost of replacing the fuel lines, these can't be repaired unlike other years and cost £140-220 to replace with Goodridge upgrade, when you can get them?
Thanks for the hint with the fuel lines. I do love the old Touring bikes as well. I think they are pretty good (and cheap) alternatives for sportsters, especially if you travel sometimes.
Do you agree with my ranking? I'm curious to hear what you think about my analysis 🙂
Excellent job! This was the best comparison video I've seen on the TC's. Safe travels to you.
I agree with your top pick. Great video, covered all the basics, informative, interesting and helpful. tks

An excellent video. Thank you.
I have a 96 Evo. Not even a fuel gauge on it.
Thank you.

My 2002 EG came with factory cruise control.
