I love my 21 limited. I drive it daily and the power !! I just got off my 2010 and finally bought a new one since 2003. I ride long distance in Florida every weekend so this bike hits the road smooth. Did I say I love it.
This is the one Harley that I would not need to make any changes to out of the box. The ergonomics fit me perfectly and the wind management is spot on. Only thing I would add is the heel shifter which was removed from all harleys. For long distance touring it is the perfect Harley.
Thanks for the info … I have a 2001 Road Glide Classic … It’s old school compared to the new ones but it looks and rides like new. I’m glad you mentioned when coming to a stop with a passenger may not be as smooth and a bit challenging for some until you get use to it. 900 + lbs.? plus the weight of the passenger and yourself takes a few stops getting that down nice & smooth but overall the bike rides super nice even in the crosswinds , corners and smooths out the bumpy roads. Loving it!
I have a 2020 special I ended up putting a tour pack on. I wish I'd of just went with a limited and a quick disconnect. But Im extremely happy with my bike!
Wow that’s an awesome bike! I’m always a Road Glide fan. I’m a 16 year old rider and hope one day to build enough skill to ride a bike like that. Biggest concern is I am a smaller guy; 5’7 122lbs but I know with proper technique and skill it can be done one day.
Just coming off a 2017 ultra limited. I test rode the 2021 road glide limited and really liked it alot.Made a deal for one at my local, just waiting for it to come in. We do travel and do alot of 2up riding. It will be my daily driver as well so I have to get used to it.
This bike is a way better deal than the RG Special. Great reviews. The center gas cap should open up towards the dash instead of towards the seat. It would make it way easier when refueling. Still like the Ultra LTD Batwing better. That color is sick.
I feel that it was a great job Sitting with my lady so she could find out more about the road glide limited which I about about to buy.. Wow how much easier you made my job.
I moved form a ‘19 heritage to a ‘21 RG limited. My main complaint is having to us the HD branded headset to work with the WHIM. That should be changed and the whim should be standard as it is with the CVO. For myself highway pegs are a must to stretch my legs in a long ride. It’s a very comfortable bike to ride a loaded with features. My issue with the heritage was if your doing a lot of 2 up riding it’s just not as comfortable for the passenger and the top case you can add is not great. So, for myself the RG made sense and the entertainment/ navigation system is much better than earlier versions.
Big difference from the 103! Check out my latest video for that comparison. Also if you’re getting more serious be sure to check with me before pulling the trigger🤙
Great video just a pro tip is when you ride you have the bad habit of covering the front break with that one finger not the safest way to drive just a tip don't take in bad way can safe your life 😀!
Which pros recommend this? Curious to hear. I know quite a few people that race on track that ride with one or two fingers covering the front brake. Professional racers as well. It increases reaction time and reduces the distance it takes for you to stop.
Great review just picked mine up great bike right it of the box... Added the filler lights like suggested looks clean.. Reinhardt exhaust and led lights and u was good to go!
This and other HD beauties at Adam’s HD in Bedford, Texas. When do you expect Touring inventory to start rolling in for 22, and will HD go back to hydraulic clutch? I have a feeling the supply chain shortage was to blame for leaving it off the 21’s.
We’re hoping to have 2022’s on the floor in January/February. You could be right on the switch from hydraulic to cable but I have no information on what to expect. I’ll certainly be giving information out just as soon as I hear it!
Loaded question. I prefer the look of the batwing fairing by far. I prefer the ride of the shark nose. If I had to choose I’d go with the 🦇 batwing is just such a good looking fairing.
@@thehdguy378 hey, didn’t I see you in a Padres shirt? My nephew Evan White plays 1st base for the Mariners, he won the AL Gold Glove as a rookie last year!
Please keep me in mind for future purchases! I ship nationwide and have access to almost any new model Harley-Davidson. We also have a massive selection of pre-owned Harley’s.
I could ride long distance on any touring bike. And some cruisers for that matter. This is just the easiest bike to put miles on. Ultra limited would be second. Car play is pretty nice. I should have talked about that!
Yep! I’m really not a huge fan of Apple car play. I don’t mind the GPS included with the GTS. I actually like the animation for the lane departure. It’s easy to read. It’s also very intuitive about exactly which lane you need to be in. I’m not certain if CarPlay has this feature.
Just bought 2021 Limited in Vivid Black last Sunday. Came off a 2018 RGS in Bonneville Salt Pearl. It absolutely is a different ride experience. All the bumps and gotchas that were jarring on the 18 are almost nonexistent now.. And the agility and control are tops. What camera set up do you have attached to the windshield. That is awesome. Thank you for your review.
You look very comfortable riding such a heavy bike. That was a very good review, especially with the passenger, haven't seen that yet. Love the color scheme, just wish they'd bring back the pearl charcoal grey. Others have said how stable it is on the freeway even around semis. Even better than Gold Wings etc. I had a GW, it was scary around trucks. My RK is very stable. Harley seems to have it's competitors beat in that area. Am pretty sold on the RG Ltd, just have to test ride one before committing. If dealers are selling and shipping around the country they are not exactly coming out and saying it...you do. I like that, but didn't know it until I read it in your comments. You should include that in the video. And I second the addition of more cameras.
Thanks for your comment Rob. I'm in a similar situation. I have a '19 GW, but I'm not that impressed with it's highway handling. (Or it's luggage capacity) I'm strongly considering going to a RG Limited, and it sounds to me like you're pleased with the move.
@@barackblows1942 I've been throwing my money into real estate. Have you been watching the market? Best investment by far compared to depreciating liabilities.
I love my 21 limited. I drive it daily and the power !! I just got off my 2010 and finally bought a new one since 2003. I ride long distance in Florida every weekend so this bike hits the road smooth. Did I say I love it.
Can I ask why? I'm on the fence

That's why I love my shoes. Great non slip grip and corner enhanced non slip grip
Just bought one. I’m picking it up this Tuesday.
Just bought today my 2021 limited in midnight crimson!!! It is bad ass bike!!
Congratulations! Great motorcycle.

As long as both feet can be flat on the ground at a stop, the rest will come. Let the bike work for you, and you will be fine :-)
I'm 5'5" and have been riding one.

I agree 100%. In terms of features it’s a better deal. The road glide special will hold its value better.
Absolutely love my RoadGlide Ultra.
They’re great motorcycles!
By for one of the best reviews of a Road Glide or any bike on you tube. If I keep watching this I probably make a trade for a Road Glide 👍
I feel that it was a great job Sitting with my lady so she could find out more about the road glide limited which I about about to buy.. Wow how much easier you made my job.
Thanks! I appreciate the positive feedback! Reach out to me for more info on the road glide limited.

I agree. If you ride 2 up you’ll want a touring frame.
Just test rode one today! That 114 is king. I feel I’m seeing the last days of my 2012 RG 103.
Big difference from the 103! Check out my latest video for that comparison. Also if you’re getting more serious be sure to check with me before pulling the trigger🤙
@@thehdguy378 okay thanks!
@@thehdguy378 I’m close to pulling the trigger, waiting on final approval from “ the boss” (LOL). So, what do i need to consider bro?
Reach out to me and let’s discuss what’s important to you. I might help you better prepare for the conversation with the “boss” lol

@@thehdguy378 Agreed its a good habit not a bad one. Coming from the offroad its the only way to ride.
How about less rear camera and more forward video for the road segments?
You got it! I’m pulling the trigger on a second gopro soon. This will help with exactly what you’re asking about. Thanks for watching!
How do you know that 120mph is the audio cutout for the passenger 🤔🤔

Thanks for the review. Do you prefer the shark or the bat?
Loaded question. I prefer the look of the batwing fairing by far. I prefer the ride of the shark nose. If I had to choose I’d go with the 🦇 batwing is just such a good looking fairing.
Shark all the way
Beautiful bike & color
Great review. Thank you.
Your reviews are Awesome! Have you done a review of the 2021 Ultra Limited yet? I have one ordered!
I have not done an ultra limited yet but I’ll have one of those out in the next few weeks! What color did you get?
@@thehdguy378 I’m getting black...again. Putting stage 1 with Carey Faas Racing megaphones on it. Can’t get here soon enough!

That’s the 1 bike i would trade my 20 road glide for .. and i use the usb cable to plug my phone in for apple car play 😜

Plugging your iPhone in with the cord in the right dash pocket is required to get to Apple CarPlay without a WHIM and headsets...
Yep! I’m really not a huge fan of Apple car play. I don’t mind the GPS included with the GTS. I actually like the animation for the lane departure. It’s easy to read. It’s also very intuitive about exactly which lane you need to be in. I’m not certain if CarPlay has this feature.
@@thehdguy378 ,
I agree. The onboard navigation is really good.
Don’t ya need a microphone emulator to enable CarPlay w/o s WHIM?
@@roybrazeau3486,
Yeah. The wired headset works great
@@slyguyaction Oh, ok. I misunderstood the earlier posts.

Thank you!
Hello from Sweden .....great video
Been watching Goldwing reviews , great bike but looks like a big scooter compared to this beautiful machine.
You can buy a nice Town Home or a HD RG Limited for the same price :)
How much is this model?

Ok. Subscribing already. #FriarFaithful
Sub zero temperatures? Lol…Maybe you, not me.
Engine,.,. Motor's are electric!
You lost me at SUBZERO temperatures
Sarcasm isn’t for everyone.
Like your videos . Hit sub button
I'll take the Challenger instead.
I’ll take the green one
Great bike until the electrical gremlins appear or Polaris decides to discontinue. 💩
