I WILL NOT BE BUYING HARLEY THIS YEAR OR ANY YEAR.... I WILL BE BUYING A REAL AMERICAN BIKE INDIAN!!!!!
I'm buying a Harley for me and one for my wife this year. I love the motorcycle. I don't care what others think especially whether it is American or not. Does not affect my ride or appreciation for a beautiful machinery.
@@wooddawg4868 I agree about not paying 30-40k for a bike but the other things have no place on a Harley whatsoever! If it has those things then it's a metric bike. Heck if it has a Milwaukee 8 it isn't a Harley anymore in my opinion!
I have over 65 years of riding under my belt and owned Ducati's , HDs, Kawasaki's, Aprillas, BSA's, Nortons and everything else. I pro Road Raced and Drag raced. As far as HD goes. The Breakout is my favorite. 90% of riders today will NOT know the difference between the 114 and 117 engines and few will feel the difference between the 107 and 117. I think HD should STOP having new models with a 114 or 117 and put the same motor in all but the sport bikes. Come on HD. Give us the 135 on every one on all except the smaller rides
Yes retired 815 I have to agree with you my first hog was a 1974 fx 1200 glide. Had her for 20 great years I now ride a 1996 Dyna but I have to say the sportster S is one of the uglyist Harleys ever old sporters where pretty but now they have just look like to many other Japanese bikes. sorry young Harley fans
@@edpetrikk2027 l completely agree! I’ve often thought if l was a Billionaire l would buy Harley, return the bikes to affordable old school looks, mark down the price of accessories for the bike and the rider, and make servicing of the bikes far more reasonable to keep customers as well as draw in new ones. It’s not rocket science!
I went yesterday to buy a new soft tail and they marked it up $1800 I laughed as I walked out the door. I will never buy another Harley ever new or used
I’m never gonna buy another HD. I’ll just rebuild the SG I have. It’s enough and while I always liked HD I can’t say I agree with the direction they are headed in.
Go to any Harley Davidson dealer. You'll find more employees parking spots taken than any customers. I've gone to multiple dealers in different states, and have been treated like I'm invisible. I've yet to even been offered a cup of coffee. And never a test ride. I don't want to see any aftermarket bling installed on a new unit. I want a stock bike at a decent price. Good luck finding one. When the narrator said that buying a Harley was an investment, i had to laugh. It's a liability. And if you're paying over sticker, as in just about every dealer I've been in, you're sending the owner on a paid vacation.
Harley has lost their collective minds! Prices, high cost for products, and crazy maintenance fees are the reason they continue to lose business! These new bikes are ridiculous and will hasten their demise. Too bad, too.
When I bought my '05 Buell XB12 SCG for $10,500 I compared what I was getting compared to ANY other Harley and I was getting the best bang for buck. My bike came standard with an oil cooler, steel braided brake lines, fuel injection, huge floating disc brake and other H-D bikes at the time that cost $16k or more didn't even come with that stuff showed me how much they gouge the H-D rider. One time my bike was in the shop for a transmission warranty work and I had an Electra Glide Ultra as a loaner bike. It was a great highway bike as I couldn't use 6th gear unless I was going almost 80 but, it was a pig to ride around town just to run some errands. It weighed so much and was so bulky it was just too much bike for a daily rider.
I HAVE a 2013 flhstcuse8 ultra limited before that, 2003 screamin deuce before that. Still like old school. But the street glide 121 vvt . Rides like a dream, handles like a sport bike. Agile fast stops on a Dime
Liters fuel tank? Seat: 65.5 cm? Is this Harley-Davidson or some metric bike from Great Britain? After 1 minute 47 seconds, I'm highly disappointed in this video about an American motorcycle with metric descriptions. THUMBS DOWN!
I lived in the best years of Harley. 70's through the late 2000's . Sorry that the company gave in to the Government Influence and control and make bikes you can't fix yourself, (and look Squishy ) But I get it, we are all dying off and the company needs to cater to the younger generation that can't touch a wrench cause it's dirty.
Harley Davidson does not make anything I want to ride anymore I will just keep rebuilding my shovel head like I've done for 40 years bought it brand new in 1976.
My 76 fxe. The tires roll, it will go over the speed limit. The sound of will make you think Is your goosebumps are breeding. I've Addressed the factory flaws , so no , it doesn't leak oil. The insurance is cheap, the taxes for the year are less then a carton of cigarettes. Sometimes being poor, can make you look smart- and cool as hell.
That Sportster S is fugly no matter how it's viewed - from the left it needs covering with a fairing or somesuch and from the right.... jeez WTF is all that exhaust ?
Love the Nightster and Sportster S but cannot justify the premium price plus all the surcharges HD is famously known for. Was told Sporster S out of the dealer price $21K. HD Nighster not the special even had a managers special price of $16.999 which still has me scratching my head what’s included there.
For a lot of people, it doesn’t matter what they make now; HD leadership runs the company in contrast to the morals and beliefs of its customers Good luck with that. Kinda like Disney and Star Wars.
Lol, this man says powering this beast motor i shook my head he meant beastly heavy drag of motor if you want american beast motor go with buell "SUPERCRUISER"" 175HP NUFF SAID.
Ive tried street bob. Amazing motorcycle (if you ride 60 mph - anything over this is fighting with nature) if harley was not so ugly with windshields it would be me go to brand. All cruisers with windshields looks shit to me and naked are just not comfortible over 60mph... thats why I will stay in adventure sector.. unfortunally as I love torque in those HD...

What hurt h-d isn't styling, but price, reliability, and mass production
Harleys have been reliable since the Evo.
IMHO they sure don't look like Harley's anymore I'm definitely not a fan.
When did Harley take the detour to Uglyville?
So what was the bike in the cover photo, click bait? Nothing like what they are building today. Some EVO Sportster parts and some I have never seem. Apparently a one off custom.
Ill give you some tea the one in the cover is sportster s with a new fairing design not the current one probably to release next year 2025 rumored
Wish I'd have known they had gone woke, before I bought mine...never again
Wow Dude!
My god...30K and 43K, companies are just price gouging just waiting for ppl dumb enough to pay the over inflated prices. SMH
$42k for a Road Glide? That’s more expensive than my truck. No wonder Harley is going bankrupt 🫣🙄
$13500 is budget conscious???
For an ugly bike, might be a good performer, but ugly as sin
$42000 for a bagger. You're nuts. The first house I bought was $40000.
Shows how old I am my first house in London I paid £3000
No doubt at all My favorite Motorcycle it's The Amazing Harley Davidson Softail Breakout 117👍❤️🇺🇸🥇!!!

For those prices Harley will have a hard time selling many bikes. I'll stick to the older models.

Blacked out so you fit in and dont get teased

You should just rephrase that ducatis are for people who thought they were somebody, But then reality knocked their effing teeth out.

What bike on the thumbnail?
Sportster S
Nobody wants the new ones. Way too much "garbage technology".
Yeah nah, with the prices of those bike's, I'll keep riding my 2001 Electra glide forever.
I mean all these look nice but my heart is set on the indian scout 101. What would the benefits be of me choosing a hd over the scout
Won't trade my '05 VRSCR for any of these overpriced and underdesigned plastic looking things......

in what world is a basic nightster for 13k is a budget bike. The rebel 1100 is 10k.
