Thanks you for your comments! I do my best to keep up with them for the first few days after a video comes out, but due to the volume of comments on all of my videos, and to the general hustle and bustle of life, I must give up the fight after a while. If you are leaving a question four or more days after a video comes out I can't guarantee I'll see it, but perhaps one of my other viewers knows the answer and can help out. Thanks in advance to those who contribute and share their knowledge. Cheers and stay safe everyone!

Oh, I forgot to mention. Considering the price point and the fact that it’s a bagger, heated grips should be standard.
Harley can thank Indian for forcing them to make a better motorcycle cycle.
Not better engineered than Indian, just a better Harley.
Yep. Who knows. If not for Indian Harley might still be making the Twin Cam.
Right on all counts. It is quite a package. But the Gold Wing......
The Gold Wing is actually better on the twisty roads because its engine is lower down and the tank is below the seat. It transitions better from side to side.
I looked good and hard because the prices are pretty good out the door. But having to deal with all the Harley morons…I feel for Harley they are making nice bikes, but the Harley crowd is just awful…I cringe when one walks over to talk to me. I bought a used 2016 Indian Chieftain for $16K with 22K KM’s on it instead. It sits along side my 2017 Triumph Trophy SE, 2022 T120 Gold line and an Aprilia naked. I find I have to be in the mood for my Bagger…mostly it just gets on my nerves being hot/loud/heavy/terrible handling and just plain ole obnoxious to ride 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️ but it does look good 🙄🙄🙄
Out the door, feight, tax, registration $30,000 Ha ha ha. Yeah about that. I'll take my 2004 BMW R1150RT any day all day. 😊 HD 811 lbs !!! 🙄 GOOD GOSH thats why they are called hogs. BMW 560 lbs, full fairing with electric windscreen, removable side & top bags. 😊. I paid $6K 11 yrs ago (9yo used). It now has 55K miles no issues, except in tank fuel pump stopped once. Going on two trips soon, one 1200 miles, other half that.
Yes, for road performance and comfort the Sport Tourers are awesome.
Excellent video as always.
Thanks again!
I agree ! I owned gold wings. Beemer touring and just rented Indian pursuit for 10days.. new harley bagger best, for what i like..so i bought it
Why HD hasn't got onboard with the adjustable windshield.. is beyond acceptable. Its the biggest downfall in my opinion. The suspension is also lacking. If HD would work those two things out.. it would be the bike of choice.
Yes, totally agree. With those two improvements the bike is clearly better than the competition for the best all around bagger out there.
Great Review Mate....
I currently have a 23 Breakout and have recently done a few 2-3 day rides away, Now tossing upgrading to a road king or street glide......
Beautiful bike with cheap, made-in-Mexico hydraulic lifters that will sound like gravel rattling around in a coffee can after about 3 months or so.
NO f'n adjustable windshields! Don't need it or an ice maker or any other odd crap you dream up should be a premium option! Frick next you people will want lumbar support, a sun visor, and god knows what else!!!
I own this bike. the RG is more comfortable because of bar height. I had to replace stock bars for 14" apes. and Rockford Fosgate sound system is garbage. rest is perfect!
You forgot another lack of feature.. short rear travel..n you havw to use a wrench to adjust😮
Yes, I did say that the three inches out back left my lower back sore. The CVO has a remote knob for adjustment.
@@DifferentSpokesTV and it's nearly $20 k more.. like l
The rear suspension probably felt bad because the factory/dealer have set zero preload. Don’t know why they don’t add some. Everyone complains until they get the preload set.
I love the new look...but for me
the throttle is to snappy and as an android user that screen is useless
I went to the dealer early in summer to trade mt 2012 street glide in but turns out I like mine better....that 117 though mmmmmmm
I just got mine about two months ago. I really like it. Rides really nice and lots of torque! The infotainment is the best in the industry.
Brotherrrr!! So much TORQUE the chassis will twist off the line. Keep that HOG shiny side up 🤠
Yes, the hp is not that high for such a heavy bike, but the torque feels like you're on a diesel.
Very efficient review. Well done sir. I have the M8 117 in my Low Rider. Agree, very good engine. When it's time to eat miles with comfort, I'll take the R1250RT all day long.
Yes, I'd take a sport or adventure tourer too but most folks around here love their baggers. The R1250RT is not an option they'll look into.
$26K??? Good luck reeling customers with that price. I don't know about you but last I checked, Harley's new "Woke" agenda really screwed themselves with their main customer base. Prices have tanked here in the States.
I don't pay attention to Harley prices here in Canada but if they drop a lot that might be a good time to pick up a Lowrider ST.
You think the price is bad and then you find out they lowed the price from last years model. And it’s about $3k less than Indian. Pretty crazy.
58 comments and only 1 moron brought up “woke”. That’s some progress I guess.
I'll stick with my Moto Guzzi V100 sport tourer. Three hundred pounds lighter, 115 hp with an almost flat torque curve. Bags are bigger, windshield is electric and too many other features to list included for $10,000 less.
Excellent bike!
Not interested in electronically adjustable windscreen. Just get a clear one of the proper size and you're fine. If you need more wind, open the vent. I have no interest in the FSD cruise control either. If I want the bike to do everything for me, I'll buy a Honda. I've been diddling with these MC controls for about 50 yrs now and I haven't needed Elon's electronic assistance yet.
I also have electric gloves that keep my entire hands warm, so I have no need for heated grips either. If it gets really cold out, I put the Hippo Hands on the bike.
Truth be told, I can do w/o all the electronic crap and the fairing used to hide it. If they make it into a Road King standard, they will sell at least one.
My problems are:
1. No bag crash protectors. It falls over, you're buying an expensive new bag.
2. Mustache front crash protector. Cute I suppose, but doesn't allow one to slip the cold weather wind blockers on it.
3. Tiny front fender. Again, cute for the modern metrosexual rider, but that front tire is going to machine gun that low slung radiator with everything on the road.
4. The seat is probably okay, but I like the Sundowner better. More room to move around. Not so locked into place. Problem is it's taller. And with it on, the SG bars are too low for me. Would like the SGs more if they put Road King standard handlebars on them.
I like the new platform, but if they don't bring out Road King version, I'll probably move on to something else. I demo'd a new Triumph Tiger 900 Rally and thought despite the dirt bike look, it was a fantastic road bike. Again too much poorly done electronic crap on it, but the bones of that bike were butter. I'd just need to lower the hell out of it.
Good points! The Tiger 900 also comes in a GT version with a smaller front wheel and a lower seat.
They're selling slowly here in California. Not sure about the rest of the States.
Test drove both the 2024 Road and Street Glide having gone to the dealer to buy the Street Glide. Road back to back and took the Road Glide home. Out of the box is has better wind management than the Street Glide and swapping to the 10" windshield ended any wind issues, can flip up the visor at 80+ without issue. I do prefer the Street Glide bar positions and have lowered the Road Glide bars considerably but not that far. Only addition I had to have was a back rest.
As compared to the competition, I have had six different BMW RTs which also explains why the fixed fairing of the Road Glide was no inhibition, an adjustable windscreen would be idea and similar to how BMW does it and not Indian. Remote locking bags should have been standard along with the heated grips. Still it just comes down to the fact they look and sound good and are a pleasure to ride. Polaris really needs update both the Chieftain and Challenger but I suspect if they do we already know what they will look like
Yep, the fixed fairing feels a bit different but to me the difference was very minor. I'd love to see Indian drop some new baggers though.
When I start thinking about bikes that cost a certain amount or weighing over 800lbs I kinda want a seat that I can take one
person w/ me? Cost & too small a seat are my only complaints ~ ship this one to me after you're done = Send it "OverNight"
The back seat is actually decent but unfortunately I had to bring it back.
Looks small but I don't need to worry about that, unless I win one? Then I'd address it. peace
How's the family doing? Well, I hope. Nice video. Cheers from the Pacific West Coast of Canada.
Thanks, we're great! Just had a nice family day with a picnic and a hike. All the best to you and yours!
Man, ive had 3 new street
Glides with a combined 60-70k miles, great bike but its not a touring bike, mainly wind protection sucked on it and once u start messing with that taller screen lowers etc becomes bigger
Hesvir and cumsier, if ur gonna just use to for around town its kinda heavy but that and say 1-2 rides its perfect, my excuse was that the golwing was longer heavier but now being lighter!! Than this woth better wind protection power well of
Course reliability for long runs more
Than likely its gonna be my next bike.
I'll have to make a comparison video of the two.
@@DifferentSpokesTV that’s a great idea because I couldn’t really find a new comparison video
Love my 24 SG ...............its great!
100% discount good luck
Great video, thank you. Where is the road at around 9:15 mark?
That's a lookout point on the south side of Kamanaskeg Lake just west of Combermere off Highway 62. It says Lookout Road when you drive by.
@@DifferentSpokesTV Thank you so much! And thank you for making solid unbiased reviews. I never gave Harley a 2nd look but after watching this video - may be one day, will at least test ride Street Glide
I disagree with your assessment vs the Chieftain, I think it is lighter on its feet than the Street.
Everything is so subjective. I haven't been on a Cheftain since 2019 but I'd like to ride them back to back. The Street Glide is nimble feeling though... for a bagger.
@@DifferentSpokesTV I rode a 24 Street back to back with a 23 Chieftain, my subjective opinion was that the Indian felt lighter. Also, the footboards on the Chieftain are almost impossible to drag, pipes hit first and only after leaning WAY over.
@blackbuttecruizr As a 2024 Chieftain Dark Horse owner, I totally agree. I test road the Road Glide, Street Glide, and Challenger before making my decision on buying the Chieftain.
I love the subtle restyling of the bike. It's a big improvement over the old fairing style.
How is two up?
What two up the b***h fell off 10 miles ago. Ha ha. No way would you tour 2 up long distance.
Tough to get out for a longer two up with a new baby, but the back seat is pretty comfy.
I like the old front end better. It had a more classic look, and that’s what Harleys are all about
I'm not sure if Harley invented the batwing fairing but it's definitely associated with them now.
