Exactly I ride an Indian cruiser and my friends ride sport bikes duel sports and other cruisers including harleys. A bikers a biker so I’m with you on that!
The irony is that most harley riders ignore me. I wave at all bikes, even police on bikes. I've owned a few different bikes now and the harley riders almost never wave back. I actually like quite a few harleys, but the riders... not so much.
I’ve been riding on the street for almost 45 years had a Suzuki & Kawasaki at first but it’s been Harley for the last 38 years. I wave to all 2 wheelers regardless of make or style 3 wheels EH. In my experience it’s the sport riders that don’t wave unless I wave first. But it’s all good 👍
This is an awesome video! Nice job throwing the Road Glide around the track. Your point about not having to hate what you don't ride is spot on. I really wish more riders would understand that.
I present you with, The Amazonas 1600. A Brazilian motorcycle built around a Vw bug flat 4 carbureted engine. Ugly, slow, mechanically flawed, it is the overweight yugo of motorcycles because Brasil was communist back when it was being built for the sake of this argument.
Great video, I’ve just been through this, after always having sports bikes I switched to Road Glide. Had never ridden anything like it, not even a cruiser. I’d still love a sports bike in garage but the Harley as my one bike has been perfect, 2 up is dream, it’s got character. It’s still riding just different, the same sensations. I had never appreciated them before but now I get it.
Way to go throwing that stock cvo around stock suspension that was amazing when everyone is giving them up for dead you're riding the hell out of it never seen a cvo ridden like that before thanks for showing this video
So enjoyable a watch. You now understand, it creeps up on you, two years ago they were tractors that escaped a field, now I just love my 2018 FLHTK (Electra Glide Limited). I have the 107 twin cooled and it is always two up, it pulls well, gets 40mpg no matter how you ride it and it does embarrass some 600 riders when you keep up with them. They do eventually fuck off, but its fun watching them check their mirrors and thinking, that fat bassa is still with me....aye, I am! Thank you for the viewing. Gee.
In the US there is a “performance bagger” movement where guys are upgrading brakes, suspension, motor ect. And ripping these touring bikes. Great stuff.
After 35 years of HD I recently purchased a Ducati Multistrada. Kept my Dyna, love all my HDs and other bikes of past. But the little 950 Multistrada is much more usable, versatile and exciting. It can do it all and deliver the comfort. Anyway HD needs all the help it can get today. Thank you John, I enjoy your work.
I'm glad someone is showing how well Harley's bikes handle for a heavy machine. I was one of those who swore up and down that their tech was out dated, their handling was poor, and that I'd never own one. That all changed after I rode one. It may be too late for HD, but if they want to entice both new and older riders to their brand, then this is the type of setting they need to be more associated with imho. Let them be seen going head to head with the other manufacturer's touring/bagger machines on a professional track so we can finally put that old, stale argument to rest. It may be their only option at this point.
it seems to me that every sport bike rider hates harley..and cruisers in general..... until they get on one. only then do they realize why we ride them. America is big you need a big bike to see it all
Andrew Blahut I am living proof of that. Never thought I’d own a Harley. After turning 50, I’m on my third Harley now at 56 and finally found the one the fits me the best and it’s a RGS. My younger years, many sport bikes, ninjas, gpzs, gsxrs, cbrs, R1. what bike have I put the most miles on within the shortest time period? Road Guide Special, love the bike, love the looks, with a couple modifications, bike is a dream to ride. Still have an R1 for Sunday mountain rides, but my default bike is the 2018 RGS.
I find cruisers comfortable and I really love the feet forward thing so I bought a road king special and after 10000ks I am also a Harley Davidson fan . Love the look of em 👍🇦🇺
So with you Steve. Not a cruiser fan, nor a HD fan, but was offered a stupidly good deal on a Street Glide. Rode it from Cape Town to Johannesburg in South African winter, and I fell in love. I think it was cruising down a divided highway in winds gusting to 70 kms or so. The SG was in cruise at 130 kms and I was riding with one hand, dead straight and perfectly comfortable while watching compact cars getting pushed all over the road. The beast just works, and works with character.
Really good review on the RoadGlide!! I can appreciate someone who is not afraid of throwing an expensive and heavy bike into a track like that! Cheers
Excellent non-biased review with real data. Great job showing you don't have to hate a bike you don't ride. They all do different things but are all still motorcycles.
This is a great video. I am an ex-MX racer and had fast road bikes. I bought a Street Glide in 2013 and will have one forever. You can ride it fast enough and far enough. I did 1,000 miles in 24 hours in it. There's nothing like it.
SWEET. I have this exact bike, the 2019 Road Glide CVO in Mako Shark Fade and you have nailed it perfectly. The absolute best part of your video is exactly why I ride on what ever and with who ever....For the fun, this is what all this is really about. Get out and ride and enjoy everyone.
Just started riding last year at age 67. Wanted to ride since I was 16 years old. The first bike I bought in November is a Can-Am Spyder F3T three wheel trike. Easy to ride. Man, I love riding. Three weeks ago I bought a Harley Davidson Free Wheeler Trike in stiletto red. Super comfortable. Man, I really love riding!
I cant wait till he decides to get a chopped tour pack for his CVO. His girls on the back will appreciate the additional back support. Extra storage space is never a bad thing and it really completes the look to me. Welcome to the HD family!
Very well said! I have been riding since I was a kid and I turn 54 tomorrow. Ive raced mx and done many of track days on sport bikes. 2 years ago I bought a HD FXDR and did a 131 kit in it. It absolutely rips. I noticed the one in your race. I live in Austin, Tx and ride every weekend weather permitting. I went to the IOM TT this year for the first time, which was an amazing experience . We all get older but what ever we ride thats all that matters, as long as we still ride!
Welcome to the HD family knows how you feel I’ve been riding for 46 years all types and brands from scooters to dirt, sports, super bikes and now a big ass ultra limited gives me as much of a smile as my Duke 900SS or TL1000R or KZ100R does but this time with outstanding comfort👍
I love all bikes. My current fleet is a Versys-X 300, XSR900, Indian Roadmaster, and 67 Triumph Bonneville. I'm happiest when I am on two wheels, no matter who makes the bike. Good on you for feeling the same way.
Great review. Love my ‘18 Road Glide. All that you described. Have had an YZF750, 600RR and R6 too. Of course different bikes to say the least. M8 engine is fantastic. Doing a cornering training track day this spring. Great for me to see a RG on the track!
As an American, I approve of this video! I too love older American cars, especially from GM. I also was anti-Harley for the longest time and now, in my early 40's myself, I have taken a liking to the old, heavy, two-wheeled American iron. Hopefully Harley can survive this massive slump they are right in the thick of. Anyway, great video. It looked like a ton of fun and I'm sure you made tons of people laugh and smile at the fact that you're racing a land yacht. I know I enjoyed it immensely!
Anyone can take a sportbike to do a track day. You are an awesome dude!!! Loved every second of this video. I know exactly what you mean about your CVO. I love sportbikes they are truly incredible when riding them at the limit. However riding a big Harley touring bike is a sheer joy all the time. Setting the cruise control at about 80-85mph for hours on end and just experience the sheer joy of the engine rumble just the right amount of wind mix in a little sunshine it’s like heaven. Great video👍
Hang on. I road from Brisbane, Australia to Townsville over the New Years break. I was riding a K1300S, fully loaded and I waved to every bike rider on the way. The most enthusiastic wavers where Harley riders. Excluding a few Street Rod riders, but you expect that :)
Such a good review!! I 100% agree, I have owned 3 Harley's a sports bike, a dirt bike, tried all the flavours. Appreciate all bikes. Its not always about the numbers or the gear on the paper. Its about the journey, not the destination
After owning several types of bikes over the years, I swore up and down that I would never own a Harley Davidson. Saying that tastes change over the years is 100% true. I'm currently on my fifth and my latest one is a 2019 CVO Street Glide. I also own two sport bikes so I can enjoy the best of both worlds.
Great video John. I am also at that stage where I am looking at other styles/types of bikes that I have never ridden. Fast is fun, but comfort is something that appeals to me a lot more now than when I was younger. Australia is a large chunk of dirt, so a machine that offers me the best levels of comfort is most definitely going to end up in my garage. Not interested in looking cool, or being part of the crowd, I just love riding a motorcycle that keeps a smile on my dial every time I ride it. Glad you enjoy the Road Glide mate. I do reckon that your T-shirt collection will get bigger over time. Stay healthy brother.
I thoroughly enjoyed that video. I moved to riding Harley Ultras at my wife's request. She was tired of hanging off the back of my 1200 custom. She likes that back seat on the Ultra.
Mine likes the Ultra back seat too. 😎 My Road King beats her up with that 9 inch wide rear seat. On the Ultra, I barely get to ride by myself. Darn it! 😂
Buy all the bikes, and all the categories! I have a Super Duke, 950 ADV, old Evo Wide Glide (had that since high school), and a big Road King. Love riding them all! Just love motorcycles!
I ride a Street Glide and love it! I can ride for hours upon hours and have no complaints about my back hurting or anything. But I ride balls to the wall pretty much all the time. I ride with sport bikes more than other Harley’s because they ride more my speed. But it’s not like I’m the best Harley riders. When there is those guys that like to ride like I do. You get some of that humble pie. Because there’s some people that can ride a Harley like it weighs 400lbs
How cool is this? I am a Big-V man that loves racing, so this is right up my alley. Nice work, man! I have always liked the Road Glide. I actually prefer it to the Street Glide because I like the fixed fairing. CVOs are pretty amazing machines, to be honest. But that price tag! I'll never be able to own one. Extra cool that you got to experience the Glide in its best trim. And then to race the thing? Excellent! I ride a Victory Vision myself, another big-v monster with a fixed fairing. I Love this bike and wouldn't trade it for anything. And I would LOVE to get her out on a track some day! Anyway, thanks for this great piece.
I've been riding over 4 decades and I bought my first HD (Road King) last September. Put nearly 15k miles on it over the winter no less and I love the beast. HD is making some great bikes now and the world's gone to hell. Glad to see someone who rides give it a review based on reality rather than drone on about its underwhelming spec sheet. Riders could use the education and HD could use the advertising.
I've got a Multistrada 1260 pikes peak and an heavily modified Harley FXDX Dynasport... Depending on my mood I chose wich one I want to use that day. And you know what? It's not even close to satisfyng my desires. I need, at least, 5 motorbikes more in my garage.That CVO is a dream. Sorry for my bad english...
Anyone that doesnt like them, especially a CVO, just is biased and not willing to give them a chance. I started out on a 76 Kawasaki KZ900. Then a 82 Honda V45 Magna. A 88 1100 Yamaha LTD. Then I rode a custom 78 SuperGlide. I then embarked on building a 1950 EL Panhead. Rode it for 5 years. Put it up. Then I went to a 2008 Night Train. A 2004 Big Dog Husky. Now Im pretty happy on a home built 98 Electra Glide with an S&S engine and a 6 speed. Suspension upgrades. It has been on the Dragon. Had plans to ride the snake this year before the pandemic happened.
This video was tops mate - I own a Harley but love and appreciate all kinds of motorcycles man. Too many good machines out there rather than restrict myself to just one 😎
Wow! Great video. Looked like you were having a blast. Harley’s handle pretty good for what they are and they actually can turn a tighter radius than MOST sport bikes. I can usually keep up and even pass some sport bikes in the twisties on my Street Glide. Those scraped up floor boards are “BADGES OF HONOR”. Hope some of the Harley Haters watch this. Most of them have never even thrown a leg over one of Harley’s Touring model motorcycles, but they HATE, HATE, HATE. All I can really say about this vid though is, “THANK YOU FOR YOUR HONESTY”. Enjoy. Be safe.
That review had me grinning from start to finish and sits alongside the drag racing on the Kawasaki Cafe Racer as a different way to review a bike. Now I’d take the Cafe Racer, but I still don’t want a Harley (yet)....
I owned Road Glides for ten years but I never did that with them! Even though I ride a new Goldwing now, I still feel the RG is the best bike Harley makes. I love em.
Love your video!! I wouldn't begin to give you tips, but a little leaning off center, into your turn may give you a bit more ground clearance and save your floorboards. That is a sweet ride my friend.
I own the CVO Ultra Glide and it is awesome with one or two riders. I admit I prefer my Road King when hitting the tight curves because my heavy CVO will slide out wider than I want (grinding the foot boards!) if I get too enthusiastic going into a corner. For long hauls over a wide variety of road types the Ultra rocks! I agree with the overall assessment. And the sound when on the throttle is much throatier than any track bike could ever be. 👍🏼👍🏼
Great video. I am a life long Harley fan , ride a Road King , but my favorite bike of all time, Honda CBX. I wonder why bikes are so segmented?. I appreciate almost all of them. I may think some are ugly but doesn't stop me from appreciating a Street Triple or a Panigale or an R1 or a Busa . So well said on you can use all of the bike all of the time.

It’s almost like he’s made a coming out video.
“I like Harleys Mum 😭” 😂
hands down best comment..haha
😆😆😆
"IT'S NOT JUST A PHASE!"
“We always knew Son. We bought you a Stetson....”
If you're the kind of Rider that would ignore me because of the type of bike I'm riding then I'm glad that you're ignoring me.
Exactly I ride an Indian cruiser and my friends ride sport bikes duel sports and other cruisers including harleys. A bikers a biker so I’m with you on that!

@@TheFighterbike I ride a Harley Davidson and I nod to everyone from Vespa 50cc onwards.

@@TheFighterbike we're not all assholes. I'd wave at you
"if you can't figure out this is a Harley Davidson coming down the road, chances are you can't read anyway.. " LMAO 🤣🤣🤣
This is an awesome video! Nice job throwing the Road Glide around the track. Your point about not having to hate what you don't ride is spot on. I really wish more riders would understand that.
I'll second that, We all love too ride we shouldn't have to ride they same thing.
There's no such thing as a bad bike, just different flavours and preferences
I present you with, The Amazonas 1600.
A Brazilian motorcycle built around a Vw bug flat 4 carbureted engine. Ugly, slow, mechanically flawed, it is the overweight yugo of motorcycles because Brasil was communist back when it was being built for the sake of this argument.
You're the guy that gives every bike coming the other way a nod. Thank you.
I nod at everyone and it's no biggie, but I seldom get one back.
I disagree. There are definitely bad bikes out there.
Never ridden anything by Royal Enfield huh?
I own a Harley-Davidson and although there may not be a bad bike. They're certainly so much better ones for the price.
As a Road Glide owner...you have no idea how much I loved this video. YOU SIR, are a skilled rider. I wish I was half as good.
Racing street legal baggers on a road course is one of the greatest ideas ever!!!
Checkout Josh herrin prepping for the king of baggers moto America! You gonna love this
Great video, I’ve just been through this, after always having sports bikes I switched to Road Glide. Had never ridden anything like it, not even a cruiser. I’d still love a sports bike in garage but the Harley as my one bike has been perfect, 2 up is dream, it’s got character. It’s still riding just different, the same sensations. I had never appreciated them before but now I get it.
Way to go throwing that stock cvo around stock suspension that was amazing when everyone is giving them up for dead you're riding the hell out of it never seen a cvo ridden like that before thanks for showing this video
Fascinating! Love Triumph but Harleys are cool. Ride what you like, if you can.
I saw you that Day Hero Man You made us all smile.
John, dude..! This was absolutely brilliant!! Thanks man!
So enjoyable a watch. You now understand, it creeps up on you, two years ago they were tractors that escaped a field, now I just love my 2018 FLHTK (Electra Glide Limited).
I have the 107 twin cooled and it is always two up, it pulls well, gets 40mpg no matter how you ride it and it does embarrass some 600 riders when you keep up with them.
They do eventually fuck off, but its fun watching them check their mirrors and thinking, that fat bassa is still with me....aye, I am!
Thank you for the viewing.
Gee.
Awesome beginning statement. “Just hear me out.” At 53, I’m the same.
In the US there is a “performance bagger” movement where guys are upgrading brakes, suspension, motor ect. And ripping these touring bikes. Great stuff.
Cbearstunts is the man on Instagram.
True, ask me how I know.
Moonshine HD in Franklin, TN has some great performance build vids.
True! Love this movement. Badass!
I ride an Indian challenger and can say it’s deff a huge thrill to open up in the curves

Welcome to the family. We put chains on our wallets to not lose them riding when all day. It sucks when that happens. I love my Road Glide (Shark).
Now that was a great video! Loved seeing that Road Glide zipping around the track and grinding the floorboard!
I'm right there with you, you nailed it! I sometimes secretly go into the harley dealer and admire the bikes and the road glide is the i like too
Really good review on the RoadGlide!! I can appreciate someone who is not afraid of throwing an expensive and heavy bike into a track like that! Cheers

I did a track-day on a Harley once. My FXDX at Mallory
It was huge fun
Not fast but quite loud
And I wasn't the slowest out there either
Bravo from across the pond, absolutely loved it.
Terrific video sir! Loved every minute. Cheers to you!

There is nothing wrong with loving big heavy full dressed Harleys, AND loving light, sleek super bikes. Two wheels is two wheels. I love them all.
Smashing review, John. Excellent angle.
Welcome to the HD family knows how you feel I’ve been riding for 46 years all types and brands from scooters to dirt, sports, super bikes and now a big ass ultra limited gives me as much of a smile as my Duke 900SS or TL1000R or KZ100R does but this time with outstanding comfort👍

That was awesome , “it all about fun and I’m trying not to take it seriously but I can’t “ sooo true
That bike in the USA $43,000 😲, seeing you rail on a CVO....Priceless 👍🇺🇸🇬🇧

It’s a beauty mate. Welcome aboard.
Probably the best video sofar from this channel. Cheers.
Was a brilliant day and seeing that smash round was awesome. My Tenere700 was great fun round Lydden.
Love this video. Makes me want to up my skill just for fun rides.
Thats awesome, rider skill keeping you up with the others on that big boy.
Truly enjoyed your video... Nothing like grinding down the boards in a great day of riding.... Heel Dragger.... 😎
Buy all the bikes, and all the categories! I have a Super Duke, 950 ADV, old Evo Wide Glide (had that since high school), and a big Road King. Love riding them all! Just love motorcycles!
Awesome seeing you hooning around track on this. Great vid and totally get it.
I loved this video thank you!!!!

That was awesome, thank you
loved it!
Great take on a great motorcycle.
Rode the exact same bike (my friend’s) and it’s a total beast! Love it.

Brilliant !
This is the kind of video im here for!
I ride an R1200GS at the moment, but saving for a Street Glide. Love the vide of these bikes!
Anyone that doesnt like them, especially a CVO, just is biased and not willing to give them a chance. I started out on a 76 Kawasaki KZ900. Then a 82 Honda V45 Magna. A 88 1100 Yamaha LTD. Then I rode a custom 78 SuperGlide. I then embarked on building a 1950 EL Panhead. Rode it for 5 years. Put it up. Then I went to a 2008 Night Train. A 2004 Big Dog Husky. Now Im pretty happy on a home built 98 Electra Glide with an S&S engine and a 6 speed. Suspension upgrades. It has been on the Dragon. Had plans to ride the snake this year before the pandemic happened.
Good vid, John, busting myths and stereo type all over the place. cheers.
This video was tops mate - I own a Harley but love and appreciate all kinds of motorcycles man. Too many good machines out there rather than restrict myself to just one 😎
Love the video . I have an 18 CVO Road Glide in gunship grey and its 🔥
Great vid.
Wow! Great video. Looked like you were having a blast. Harley’s handle pretty good for what they are and they actually can turn a tighter radius than MOST sport bikes. I can usually keep up and even pass some sport bikes in the twisties on my Street Glide. Those scraped up floor boards are “BADGES OF HONOR”. Hope some of the Harley Haters watch this. Most of them have never even thrown a leg over one of Harley’s Touring model motorcycles, but they HATE, HATE, HATE. All I can really say about this vid though is, “THANK YOU FOR YOUR HONESTY”. Enjoy. Be safe.
Great content. Thanks for the review Harley Davidson is it's own worst nightmare...
That review had me grinning from start to finish and sits alongside the drag racing on the Kawasaki Cafe Racer as a different way to review a bike. Now I’d take the Cafe Racer, but I still don’t want a Harley (yet)....
I do get the harley culture just not for that price but I would like to ride across America on a harley. That's a bucket list moment
I owned Road Glides for ten years but I never did that with them! Even though I ride a new Goldwing now, I still feel the RG is the best bike Harley makes. I love em.
Nice job.
well I never seen that coming lol , iv just got my first tractor FXBB and love it
Interesting observation
Great review of a great bike. If you’ve never ridden one reserve judgement until you have. 👍🏻
Love your video!! I wouldn't begin to give you tips, but a little leaning off center, into your turn may give you a bit more ground clearance and save your floorboards. That is a sweet ride my friend.
I own the CVO Ultra Glide and it is awesome with one or two riders. I admit I prefer my Road King when hitting the tight curves because my heavy CVO will slide out wider than I want (grinding the foot boards!) if I get too enthusiastic going into a corner. For long hauls over a wide variety of road types the Ultra rocks! I agree with the overall assessment. And the sound when on the throttle is much throatier than any track bike could ever be. 👍🏼👍🏼
Great video. I am a life long Harley fan , ride a Road King , but my favorite bike of all time, Honda CBX. I wonder why bikes are so segmented?. I appreciate almost all of them. I may think some are ugly but doesn't stop me from appreciating a Street Triple or a Panigale or an R1 or a Busa .
So well said on you can use all of the bike all of the time.
I often pretend my Road Glide Special is a sport bike, and it's pretty rewarding to "hustle a pig"... Great video, they are a very good bike.
I have the same CVO in mako shark fade and a Jeep, so I’ve the yank tank bug too!
Looks like fun! Bikes, cars, hire vans... anything you can rag is OK with me!
Well said, brilliant..
Props to him for getting that big-assed dresser out on the track. Harley-fucking-Davidson!
