Guys, yr videos have really moved to the next level. You use yr surrounding quaint area for tests and back drops, mixing close ups and overall high definition quality, a pleasure to watch. I'm no cruiser guy, though enjoyed it, especially how u managed to balance the exhaust note even from a distance. Fab stuff ☺
I pulled the trigger and bought this bike just a week ago (a 2021, same color, 4 miles on the odometer). It's wonderful so far. Notably more nimble and basic than my '16 RGS, but very fun solo and not at all bad 2 up. Thanks again, guys!
Panniers off, windscreen off. Solo Mustang seat, Full Vance and Hines exhaust. Added Rear LED and front LED turn indicators. The bike is now off the hook.
I had a 2007 Road King Classic, which I did not particularly like and I sold it. Last year I bought a 1995 Softail Heritage Classic instead, which I absolutely love. These carburated EVO engines run beautifully. Especially at idle they sound even better than the fuel injected ones (with aftermarket pipes of course). I like to ride it without windscreen. It has a beach bar, which looks great and works perfectly for me. What surprised me the most is how nimble the bike is despite the high weight. It reacts extremely well on counter steer. Another thing that surprised me was that it is much more fuel efficient than the fuel injected Road King: close to 56 miles per imperial gallon instead of 42. I really appreciate your reviews, especially as I am also 6ft3”, while most reviewers are ‘vertically challenged’...
Guys. I've watched this review about 6 times while motorbike training on a shadow 125. I passed my MOD2 last month and today bought the Heritage Classic 114 (2022 model) in the exact same colour as your's today (06/05/22) I've also had the V&H Eliminator 300s fitted. Your videos, especially this one, has had an influence on my choice including the exhaust. Incidentally, I found the bike very comfortable on the test ride and I'm 5'6" Thank you and keep posting those videos.
I'm coming in at 5 foot , 2 inches , with a 28 inch in seem , these Heritage Classics are very comfortable for me , no issues with riding , managing or stopping at all , a great machine for all around travels . Ride safe , cheers to you guys .
@@MrDarcy-OlMan get a chance , give my channel a gander , I have multiple bikes , and love everything on two wheels , some more than others . Cheers , share a pint .
I have the 2018 Softail Deluxe as I am 5ft 10 and 160 lbs. Like you, I love my bike. Been riding since I was 16 and now am 74 And must say the best bike I've owned and my first Harley
Thank you, love all your reviews, my mother in law was a war bride from Nuneaton England and came to the United States with my father in aw after the war @@MrDarcy-OlMan
Great review and thanks very much! I am a lifelong biker, have owned Yamahas, Ducatis, Huskys, KTMs, BMWs, Triumphs and Harleys. I recently sold my '16 Road Glide Special so am "in the market," and have been looking at these. Honestly, this bike does 95% of everything a RGS does and it's lighter (to a HD rider, feels MUCH lighter) and more nimble. I do love the convertible nature of the looks (from shielded bagger to stripped down solo FLH looking). Good job!
My favorite Harley also. The olive green and black two-tone 2018 Heritage is the best looking. 2021 has a green two-tone also but it is not as attractive as the 2018
Hello Gents, another great video. I agree with your assessment of the Heritage 114. I purchased a 2020 in May last year and absolutely love this bike, its my first 114 engine. Take care.
I test rode one of these last summer in Sundance Wyoming. I agree that it is a very easy bike to ride and handling is much improved over the previous Heritage model which I took on an extended rental a few years ago.. The windscreen works well, for me, and I like the easy open and stylish bags. My '03 Road King is a handful compared to this much lighter and maneuverable motorcycle. I'm a bit old school so I prefer a real ignition switch and throttle cables. Nice review, fellas.
A shout out from Maine here. It's in the single digits , definitely won't be riding for a while , you have to be patient for spring. All i can do is watch the videos and keep the woodstove going. Really enjoy your videos, like another commenter said the backdrop is so beautiful. It's my dream to come to the UK and ride your country side. I was torn between a 2019 heritage and a 2019 roadking special and it was a real tough decision, kept going back and forth. Ultimately it came to the roadking . This bike was for me and the wife for traveling and with a differant seat It's been a real joy to own. But the heritage is just such a classic. Thanks for your videos they help get us through the dark cold winters🥶
The best looking of all the HD's. And the fact that it is so convertible is great. I'm not into bags or windscreens so on most days I wouldn't use them. But it's great to have them available. Your videos are a pleasure to watch because they show the English countryside. How about a video riding around it a bit. For those of us who would love to, but probably will never get there.
Thanks buddy! Agreed. We have plans to film a bit more like you say. We are considering doing some rides/ short tours around, showing the interesting places as well as the bike.
Owning a 2018 115th Anniversary Heritage is like owning 2 Bikes. Taking the screen, bags & backseat off changes it personality from tourer to bad ass. Good review on the new one. Surprised to hear the hp & torque have been decreased.
I've got the exact same bike, but a 2019. Same color. Originally took the bags and windshield off, but they are so convenient that I added the tour pack, which holds my briefcase for work just perfectly... oh well. I'm at a point that I prefer function over looking cool anyway...
I have a 2018 Heritage 107 and absolutely love it! Thus far, very reliable, great handling and a blast to ride! I live in Arizona, so rain is a rare thing, lots of sunshine and lots of time on the bike! Great job on the review, keep them coming!
Very well done! One of the best videos on the Heritage Classic Special. We just bought a 2021 model for my wife and refer to your video often. It helped us to decide that the Heritage 114 Special was the right bike to get for our rides together. Thanks for producing.
What a great video, very informative and true to pos and cons. I really enjoy it and the driving shots in between made the video very dynamic. 👍🏼 thank you for sharing your time.
I’m 5’8” with 30in inseam. The bars are an easy reach and right where they need to be but the floor controls are a reach and the highway bars…. Forget it. I agree with the breaks, just manage speed, increase following distances, plan ahead and you’ll be fine.
I currently own a '79 shovelhead.., but I really like this model over all the other HD's...it has interesting similarities to the older cruisers. Thanks for the great vid !!
excellent channel guys..... you two have got a unique presentation.... i'm a bit of a latecomer coz i only stumbled on your a channel a couple of weeks ago but already i've viewed a lot of your back catalogue..... I'm not an Harley aficionado but I prefer it no bags,no screen and no rear seat... looks quite cool
@@MrDarcy-OlMan Hi, I ride a KTM RC8 and Superduke 1290R, when permitted. I will look forward to a 1290R review. I hope you guys are keeping safe and well. Ride safe
I must admit the Heritage looks great. I do really love the look of the Softail Slim also and I think that may be my favourite but they seem quite rare - Sycamores have not had many. If you ever get to test ride a slim and compare it that would be interesting. I have a 48 at the moment but I would really like to test ride some softails this year.
I'd love to have one of these in my garage, but at £20k(starting) for a new one it's far too much, even a used 2-3 year old go for £16-17k, so I'll stick with my 2008 Superglide and dream on😎 BTW....excellent and informative review, keep up the good work.
WAY too many negatives for that price point. Harley needs to up their game quite a bit to stay relevant in today's large cruiser market. Good video fellas. Your channel is always a pleasure to watch.
You are correct, that Harley looks really nice and so much better without the bags and screen. It looks easy to ride but do not think I would like the forward foot controls. I am more a Honda man so for me the Honda CB1100 would be my dream bike after your review of it and it seems a bargain compared to the price of the Harley.
Hey gents! I watched this immediately after watching your R18 Classic review, and I’m guessing that the BMW is a more complete motorcycle. It will be interesting to hear your verdict next week. Mind you, I’ve always been a bit of a Beemer fanboy 😎. Great work....keep them coming!
great review, I like the way you explain the "feel" of things, not just the specs. I can't rememebr if you already reviewed teh Road King (I just bought one) but I'd be interested in your thoughts compared to the Heritage Classic....
Nice video, straight to the point! I like this style of video. It's lomg but doesn"t seem like it because you guys go from point to point very fast, which is great!
What a beautiful bike,I LOVE the Heritage Softail Classic line of bikes,I own a 2003 100 year anniversary bike,reliable and rides like a dream,my next bike I’m gonna add is this new Heritage,the 03 has the 88B motor and I’m looking forward to the 114
I had a intimate mystical experience seeing this one by Aldi in Kettering and for the moment it make all that boredom daily routine pass away.....even kids fighting in the back could not be heard so well :-D ;-D.. HD bikes is not mpg is spg (smiles per miles ) :-).
Have you looked into the cost of a twin disc brake front end with ABS. For me that's a very easy bike to live with that's very customisable so you don't have to get a new bike. I'd get rid of the pillion pad and replace it with a large top box with back support. The other Harley I like a lot is the Sport Glide with mids for a 5'8 rider. Now for the BMW Classic.
Great video. Just found your review on the V&H pipes on the Heritage. No I'm watching all your videos. Wales looks sick. Love the father son combo. Cheers!
hi , after watching speed twin vid and commenting , [thanks for your reply ] am staying with harley ,,, and sykes hd , my virtual friend [due to lock down] at sykes nearly had a fit when i mentioned the t word,,, fine bikes from both makes and would like them all./// but the hd heritage fits you and me and the young darcy ,,, so you really can;t improve on what you have , this refresher update video confirms this ,,,, you can just add bikes to your stable ,,, [ps .. i am 6 ft 2 so i can relate to needs like you about sizing ,, hd does seem to cover this better than most bike makers.
Enjoyed the review! Im 6’1” and sat on one. I’m here in the States. I’d have to get a different seat with passenger backrest/luggage rack and set it up with pipes and be set!
Great video!. I myself drive a old Streetfighter Triumph speed triple. Just had the chance of testing this Harley.Was shocked how good it was to ride compared to my bike. Think my bike is about 200 kg.Could not feel the weight of the Harley when i backed up and parked it. I want one and i want it so bad!
It’s the weight that makes this bike a hard choice for me to buy. I really struggled with my 306kg Dyna FatBob so I sold it to a younger fit guy, who dropped it in the first 3-days! I think it’s essential to fit a reverse gear by Baker transmissions which cost £2500 ish but worth it. I was going too on the Fatbob, & but at the time , it’s £17k price was enough to find! There was a fuel range indicator on the Dyna, & I can’t believe that’s not on this bike. Just scroll thru on the mode button on the left bar! The button that gives you a clock, & trip mileage. Personally I fit a little HD clock on my bars which is easier to glance at than scrolling thru. Another thing, get your bike properly set up on a dyno, as the guys at SPR in Ruddington, Notts found my bike was way off, as the dealers are not experts on engine mapping.
If I had the brass I'd buy one. Only happen if I have a rich relative I don't know about dying and leaving me loads of money. Still, I'm happy with my Evo Fatboy and Sporty. Keep up the good work.
Muy buena prueba y bien subtitulada en Español. Me gusta mucho la Heritage Classic es mi HD favorita. Me acabo de comprar una Super Chief Limited de Indian sería bueno compararlas.
Too bad only one front disc brake and tubed tires! The last time I had a flat on a tubed tire I was sorry I had them! Looks like a good review over all! Thanks for the effort!
Absolutely brilliant! Can you do a comparison to the Road King? I´m myself 6´2", and love to see "old man" on the Road King for size comparison. After this vid I´m really torn between those to models.
Superb looking bike and fantastic video gentleman. I’m really looking forward to the classic comparison as i have a new R18 sitting in the garage which I haven’t ridden yet due to lockdown. The heritage classic has a very strong resemblance to the R18 classic so the next vid will be very interesting. Kindest regards, Beans.
Thank you for this great video ! (Too bad the subtitles don't work, I didn't understand everything, but I understood the basics.) I just ordered a 2021 FLHCS, your video confirms my choice. The look without saddlebags, passenger seat and windshield is magnificent. Thanks again
It seems more difficult to replace the exhaust on the 2021 model, because of the probes that have been added, no ? They're V&H eliminator on yours, aren't they?
Guys, yr videos have really moved to the next level. You use yr surrounding quaint area for tests and back drops, mixing close ups and overall high definition quality, a pleasure to watch.

Thanks buddy. Hopefully you subscribed for more 👍🏼

I never gave motorbikes much thought before, but fell in love with this model recently. Seriously considering getting the license now
Go for it bro! There’s nothing like it! 👍🏼
Also a Goldtop fan, great quality. Their merino gloves laugh at the cold and the flying jacket would set the beard off a treat!
Yes I love mine! It is all such beautiful leather. Top notch 👍🏼
I test rode this model last weekend. I'm 5'8". Fits me perfectly.
The bike looks fantastic with the bags and the windscreen off, but I like always having them on for practicality. Once again a great video guys!
Yes I keep them on most of the time too ! Thanks bro 👍🏼👍🏼
Here when you hit 10k subs, now so close to 20k!
Keep going with these ace vids and I'll still be here 👍. Cracking stuff!
Thanks buddy! We appreciate your support. 💯👍🏼
Absolutely agree this is the quintessential Harley Davidson. It's what you see when you imagine a Harley to be.
Yes 💯👍🏼
My favorite Harley also. The olive green and black two-tone 2018 Heritage is the best looking. 2021 has a green two-tone also but it is not as attractive as the 2018
I originally wanted a two tone but got a good deal on the black

This is perhaps best looking HD in last 50yrs lovely bike! Specially like LED lights

WAY too many negatives for that price point. Harley needs to up their game quite a bit to stay relevant in today's large cruiser market.
Good video fellas. Your channel is always a pleasure to watch.
Thanks Eric! 👍🏼 What are the main negatives in your opinion?
Rented this bike for a day in Washington and loved it
Very helpful review, just purchased a 2021 Heritage Classic in the US, love it.
Thanks buddy! Awesome 💯👍🏼
Great video guys. I get 45 mpg on my heritage 114
Thanks buddy. That’s not bad considering how immense it is
You are correct, that Harley looks really nice and so much better without the bags and screen.
It looks easy to ride but do not think I would like the forward foot controls.
I am more a Honda man so for me the Honda CB1100 would be my dream bike after your review of it and it seems a bargain compared to the price of the Harley.
Yes it’s a very imposing bike. The Honda is great but very different. Yes quite a price difference too!
Great review and great bike! 😊

Very nice review as always

Hey gents! I watched this immediately after watching your R18 Classic review, and I’m guessing that the BMW is a more complete motorcycle. It will be interesting to hear your verdict next week. Mind you, I’ve always been a bit of a Beemer fanboy 😎. Great work....keep them coming!
Thanks bud! There are differences that are subjective and some which win hands down. The comparison is going to be interesting 👍🏼
Red sticker is a great idea. Getting some myself.
Thanks. Actually I painted it on 👍🏼

Maybe we’re turning you to the bad side 👍🏼

Great video. Just found your review on the V&H pipes on the Heritage. No I'm watching all your videos. Wales looks sick. Love the father son combo. Cheers!
Awesome. Welcome aboard. We recently compared eliminator 300 and twin slash
hi , after watching speed twin vid and commenting , [thanks for your reply ] am staying with harley ,,, and sykes hd , my virtual friend [due to lock down] at sykes nearly had a fit when i mentioned the t word,,, fine bikes from both makes and would like them all./// but the hd heritage fits you and me and the young darcy ,,, so you really can;t improve on what you have , this refresher update video confirms this ,,,, you can just add bikes to your stable ,,, [ps .. i am 6 ft 2 so i can relate to needs like you about sizing ,, hd does seem to cover this better than most bike makers.
Thanks buddy. Yes we’re with you there. The Indian Springfield Dark Horse is even more roomy!
Really love the look of this bike. Great review as always.
Cheers.
👏 😍🤪
Thanks bro! 👍🏼👍🏼😁
Seat height is ok for shorter riders too. My wife is 5’ 6” and this is her bike. Hers is a 2020 and we did 5K miles this past summer.
That’s great, it’s certainly a bike that most people can ride easily.
Love how you did this video , Im an Ole Man lol and looking at one of these bikes right now , and I love the scenery and countryside , subscribed 👍
Thank you, welcome to the channel 😊
Awesome bike, I'd love one! Being 5' 6'' maybe not practicable for me. Looks cool without the windshield and panniers, the pipes sound great.
Thanks bud! Yes it looks great with them but I rarely take them off tbh
Awesome machine.... I prefer with panniers and the screen.... Maybe in summer without the screen. Sounds great.
Great content 👍
Thanks buddy. Much appreciated
Great review as always and love the new leather jacket and gloves, very stylish 👍
Thanks hun! Much appreciated 👍🏼👍🏼
Enjoyed the review! Im 6’1” and sat on one. I’m here in the States. I’d have to get a different seat with passenger backrest/luggage rack and set it up with pipes and be set!
Thanks buddy! Yes it’s very easy to personalise the Harleys 👍🏼👍🏼
Great vid, super helpful. The bike sounds incredible!!!
Thanks buddy! Yes you can’t beat the v-twin roar!
Great video!.
I myself drive a old Streetfighter Triumph speed triple.
Just had the chance of testing this Harley.Was shocked how good it was to ride compared to my bike.
Think my bike is about 200 kg.Could not feel the weight of the Harley when i backed up and parked it.
I want one and i want it so bad!
Thanks buddy. Yes it’s a phenomenal bike! 💯
It’s the weight that makes this bike a hard choice for me to buy. I really struggled with my 306kg Dyna FatBob so I sold it to a younger fit guy, who dropped it in the first 3-days! I think it’s essential to fit a reverse gear by Baker transmissions which cost £2500 ish but worth it. I was going too on the Fatbob, & but at the time , it’s £17k price was enough to find!
There was a fuel range indicator on the Dyna, & I can’t believe that’s not on this bike. Just scroll thru on the mode button on the left bar! The button that gives you a clock, & trip mileage. Personally I fit a little HD clock on my bars which is easier to glance at than scrolling thru. Another thing, get your bike properly set up on a dyno, as the guys at SPR in Ruddington, Notts found my bike was way off, as the dealers are not experts on engine mapping.
Yes it's pretty heavy. The reverse is essential we would say, from now on, on bikes like this. It should be a Harley option by now.
another great and substantial Video!.....Looking forward to seeing your review of the yesterday launched new Indian Chief and his variants!
Thanks bro! Yes we are on the VIP list for all the new Indians!
If I had the brass I'd buy one. Only happen if I have a rich relative I don't know about dying and leaving me loads of money. Still, I'm happy with my Evo Fatboy and Sporty. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Tim. You never know!
Thank you for another great video.
Thanks buddy 👍🏼
Muy buena prueba y bien subtitulada en Español. Me gusta mucho la Heritage Classic es mi HD favorita.
Me acabo de comprar una Super Chief Limited de Indian sería bueno compararlas.
Muchas gracias amigo 👍🏼
This one Never gets old 😂. Im so into that bike. I WILL have one
Yes it’s a fabulous bike 👍🏼
Too bad only one front disc brake and tubed tires! The last time I had a flat on a tubed tire I was sorry I had them! Looks like a good review over all! Thanks for the effort!
Thanks very much 💯
Absolutely brilliant! Can you do a comparison to the Road King? I´m myself 6´2", and love to see "old man" on the Road King for size comparison. After this vid I´m really torn between those to models.
If you scroll down our videos tab we reviewed it a couple of years ago 👍🏼👍🏼
Superb looking bike and fantastic video gentleman. I’m really looking forward to the classic comparison as i have a new R18 sitting in the garage which I haven’t ridden yet due to lockdown. The heritage classic has a very strong resemblance to the R18 classic so the next vid will be very interesting. Kindest regards, Beans.
Thanks Beans! It will be an interesting comparison. My personal two favourite bikes!
I'm considering those Vance and Hines Eliminator slip-ons. Did you have to re-tune the air/fuel management? Great video, by the way.
No we didn’t need to but you can get the FP3 from Vance and Hines and do it yourself really easily.
These videos are great
Can you do more of these reviews that show bikes for tall people
Yes definitely! Thanks bud 👍🏼
@@MrDarcy-OlMan 👍
Nice bike. Then you removed the screen and bags. I'm sold. ' Hundred percent !! Thx.
You guys are driving on the wrong side of the street 😁........great video as always, I finally became a subscriber, thanks for sharing!!! 🥇
Haha yes! Welcome aboard! Subscribing really helps us out!
Love the reviews boys! New subscriber. Very cool area to cruise.
Thanks buddy. Welcome aboard 👍🏼
Thank you for this great video ! (Too bad the subtitles don't work, I didn't understand everything, but I understood the basics.)
I just ordered a 2021 FLHCS, your video confirms my choice.
The look without saddlebags, passenger seat and windshield is magnificent.
Thanks again
Thanks buddy! Sorry we forgot to enable subtitles. I’ll do it asap. Great to hear it helped
I tried the R18: beautiful object but non-existent rear suspension, inability to move my legs prohibitive for me
@@NicoSc2811 ok I see.👍🏼👍🏼
It seems more difficult to replace the exhaust on the 2021 model, because of the probes that have been added, no ?
They're V&H eliminator on yours, aren't they?
@@NicoSc2811 I don’t know about that to be honest. Yes mine are Vance and Hines Eliminator 300
Please go on detail with the seating position, exspeacilly for tall riders on the R18 and HD...cause of the Boxer...! Ty!! Keep up the good work!
Yes we definitely will 💯👍🏼
