    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.

    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!

    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.

    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....

    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.

    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!

  • @nickrichardson7451
    @nickrichardson7451 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    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.

    • @MrDarcy-OlMan
      @MrDarcy-OlMan  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      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.

    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.
