What do you guys think of the new 2024 Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide ST? Drop your thoughts and let us know!
I'm not too keen on the headlight. Other than that, it's pretty sick 👌🏻
Dude, 60MPG???? If Google is correct, that's just under 4L/100km!
That's.... Well, I'm not even getting near that with the Twin Cam 103 in my bike. 😲 🙂
I'm not much of a racer, so that bike isn't for me, but I would like that chunk of metal for my mileage. 🤣
As a native of Louisiana... I agree, our roads are GARBAGE. You do get plenty of practice with evasive maneuvers though :)
Awesome bike Harley needs to give me one I’ll tattoo there logo on my forehead lmfao for trade
I would love to have one myself. But I need something that's better for riding 2-up with my wife.
I bought it. I love it. I only wish that a lower spec ST version with this 121-HO motor (paired with the track mode) was available to everyone. It’s simply sublime. The execution completely exceeds expectation. It RIPS when you want that and it cruises nice-n-chill when that’s desire. The future is bright kids!
For real, definitely exceeded expectations!
Maybe next year we will have a road glide st (not cvo) with a 117 m8
@@Techroadie66that's available this year...the standard road glide now has the 117 in
I finally got the black ‘24 CVO ST and it is a phenomenal motorcycle. The only change I’m making to it is a Khrome Werks Outlaw Eclipse 2 into 1, which is on a 3 week back order and the Screamin Eagle tuner. I also have a ‘23 RGS with a torque cam and a Khrome Werks Aggressor exhaust that doesn’t come close to the performance of my CVO ST. I rode it for the first time this past Saturday and passed a couple cars on a back road and this thing is a rocket in the higher rpm’s. It gets up to 120 quick and that’s the fastest it will go. Which btw is nothing for me! I’ve been a sport bike guy all my life and use to drag race every weekend. I’ve owned every generation Hayabusa, 4 GSXR-1000’s and a BMW S1000RR. My ‘22 Busa and ‘23 GSXR-1000 were on one of Moore Mafia’s recent videos being Dyno tuned after Brock’s Cams were installed in the Hayabusa. Now at 50 years old these Harley’s give me the comfort I need and this CVO ST is a good mix of style, comfort and performance. I enjoyed the video, subscribed and I’m looking forward to more content on your channel. Keep doing what you’re doing!
To all those thinking they need a $45+k 2024 to have a performance HD touring bike. You can get the same dyno numbers out of a 107 with $2-3k and more out of the 114. Never ridden a Harley that didn’t need something to “fit” my needs. Look forward to watching people unlock the potential of these bikes, but don’t sleep on a good deal that can embarrass a bike 2-3x’s the price, while being setup for you.
Absolutely perfectly said.
And that is why noone will remember your name.
@@fmpabxx7834some may remember that you’re rude my guy. Chill
True. But this looks way better
@@fmpabxx7834 And none of us know who you are now? So what's that mean for yourself? 🤡
I just bought one. Came off of a road king special. I absolutely love this bike. Only have 370 miles on it but enjoying every mile.
Great episode! BLOCKHEAD, & it's nice to see a 2lanelife cameo..see you down the road! 👊
I was not a fan of the new style of RG until I rode one, the infotainment system is WAY better than the previous generation.
I love it!
The radio is worse than the GTS, with the same speakers. Volunteer Audio put the radio on the dyno and it produced 9 watts per channel on the standard bike, lowest he’s ever tested, ever.
Glad to hear you're getting a Roadglide. Can't wait to see it. I traded in my 2003 Roadglide for a 2024.
Great review. I subscribed.
Just rode across country to Cave Creek AZ, bike week from NJ, on a 2023 Road Glide Special, absolutely amazing trip.
When Blockhead gets on the bike the bike gets lighter and the earth gets heavier.
havnt really seen your videos before until now since this one popped up on my recommended videos saw that it was a cool bike. great video cant wait to see the road glide videos in the future
Nice review keep up the good work Blockhead
If I had the funds, I would pick up one of those CVO Road Glide ST's.
21:00 You can put your thumb underneath the button and pull towards yourself to activate the further side. For example, on the left, to work the horn, you can either press on the horn on the left or put your thumb underneath the signal side and lift it up. Eliminates the need for a reach to the far side
True that!
The best in depth 2024 Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide ST review on CZcams.
Thank you!
Dude.. I’m so stoked for those other road glides builds! I’ve been patiently waiting for those ever since hearing about them. The burts barracuda bike is going to be insanity! And the tman 124 twin cam is going to be amazing and it’s got such a great story behind it too. I’m here for all of it!
Thanks Eric!
I'm glad we have to be happy about bikes not intervening in normal riding by adding modes to let us control simple riding by overcomplicating just riding.
I did the demo days in Savannah GA, both the CVO and RG limited got me hooked. The new bars on the road glide is perfect for me as is. I don’t mind the CVO bars though. I currently ride a 08 street glide that’s pretty closer to stock but still fun too
Blockhead @Harleydavidson should donate the bike to you. You’re more of an ambassador to Harley than some of the “celebrities” they’ve given bikes to.
Another great vid I've been fan since you had your iron 883 ended up being my first bike. From your test rides to bike equipment all are great keep up the good work.
The fairing vent was always reducing buffeting when open, all the way back to the 2014s. The only reason they made it closable was that in very specific rainy conditions it might be better to close it. The side vents inside the fairing on the Road Glides used to be closable as well, but people were leaving them closed and completely defeating their purpose, so they took away the shudders. The fairing vent should be open 99.9% of the time.
edit for your note - there was no roadglide in 2014 - that was a gap year. new roadglide fairing came out in 2015.
You are really making me want to get an HD!
I have this bike - it’s amazing. Some comments after 1000 miles. First a testament to HD build quality - at initial oil change at 900 miles there was virtually no metal in any of the oils from Motor, Primary or Transmission. Minor issues observed were as follows: Seat cowl rubber tends to fold at the top where it hits the seat. HD replaced cowl but I think that problem will reoccur without a better solution. Composite oil pan has non-reusable square drive Plastic drain plugs. Both no doubt used to save weight. Oil pan is susceptible to breakage much more so than a metal pan - so whatever you do, don’t run over anything! Lastly, I notice noise (mechanical humming) on front brake when applied slowing down from 60 to 30 mph with moderate brake pressure. HD says that’s normal. Brakes work fine but the noise is disconcerting if you haven’t experienced it on other bikes.
Other than those small Nits, HD hit the ball out of the park with this bike. It’s fast in stock form, handles better than any other stock bagger HD has ever made and the riding experience is exceptional. No question that the setup isn’t ideal for very long distance touring - the standard Touring models are better for that. But for what it is, it’s the very best Niche product HD has made in a long time.
Enjoyed your review. Great work.
thanks for the review!
Loved your review. Can't wait to get mine broken in. I only have 300 miles on it and it has been windy and raining, so I will let you know what I think. Thanks
I like how the guy was talking about they took out the vvt for efficiency and went all power on this bike but it says your averaging 60mpg when you was showing the 3k mile trip update. Crazy
I would love to own that bike. Great video..
First, I have been watching for years and love the content.
At about 17 minutes in, you made mention of purchasing the base model because BlockHead Garage can do any performance mods that you would really want on the Road Glide platform. My question is whether or not you have found any issues/difficulties with the VVT found on the new base models, when making performance modifications? Harley has removed it from the CVO ST, and I am just wondering if the VVT obstructs/hinders performance tuning in any way?
Cheers.
Great vid guys.
Very informative review for a bike thanks..
Great video awsome review and a stamp of approval from me
As someone who may never be able to own a Harley, I have to settle with watching videos like this one.
That’s an awesome bike hope you keep it
Arguably one of their best bikes ever. When you consider for so long they were sort of stuck in the past, which was fine by me, they kept up with the times with this bike. It’s appealing in every way, except price, to I think a larger market. People who may have previously been on the CVO bubble might be over the hump now after riding this bike. It still will always come down to price though. At $50K, youre looking at a small mortgage payment.
Love the video Jon!! So glad you like the bike...if you like performance from the factory, this is the bike!!
Thank you!
Justin,
Those road shot clips with the miles flying by are VERY nice.
John, sitting up on the back of the seat doesn't sound very comfortable.
I think Goldzilla rides more comfortably.
I test rode a CVO st Saturday, and the front brakes were very noisy. None of the other bikes had that issue. It does handle like a much lighter bike.
Thanks for a great video 👍👍
Amazing video ! And amazing bike .
I never did ride a road glide, I’m a softail guy but I’m really thinking to go try a road glide and like you said question is : buying a standard road glide and improve it or buy this CVO St. A road glide will be perfect to ride with my 8 years old son in French and Switzerland roads.
Absolutely love my CVO ST. I had a 22 blue steel CVO road glide w a 117. Was a good bike but a heavy bike. I traded it in to get the CVO ST. I have the snake venom RGS that after 38,500 miles I had a crate 131 put in it. I had a hard time going from a 131 to a 117. With a 131 you get horse power and torque and what difference when you have both. This 121 high output has more HP and tongue than the 131 and I believe the CVO ST is faster. It’s lighter and those inverted front forks are a game changer in corners on a bagger. Totally blown away by this bike. Best money I’ve ever spent for a new Harley. Adding the saddlebag guards and will upgrade to a 2 into 1 exhaust.
IMHO The CVOST is the holy Grail for the 24 model year!
Sooooo glad to hear ye say INDICATOR rather than BLINKER 🙄🙄🙄🙄
Amazing bike, crazy cost. Much rather build a custom glide...
Love the channel block
Great video ❤❤
Agree with the passage pegs they come in clutch for longer rides. Nice to be able to stand up on them as well. The floor boards are to forward to stand. Being able to stand stretch/pick ya wedging 👌.
Had no desire to get rid of my 22 ST but these new ST’s got me thinking. Especially the white one. 🤔
2LaneLife & Ride to Food is without a doubt two of the best CZcams Channels for sure 👍🏼
I am not a shark nose fan but I love that bike.
My buddy has one and loves it. He already got a ticket on it...
How far we've come to learn the best way to get your phone out while riding lol 😆
Expensive mistake 😅
My first Harley Davidson bike ever I was lucky to grab the CVO ST in black
Coming from Ducati pikes peak v4
Will see Love the looks I love anything on two wheels hopefully this one is a keeper
The new little fairing cubby holes..
Much better than the ones like I got on mine where ya gotta hold
It open.
Do u need to say BOOP when pressing them ? If not I bet they don’t open
Prob used the Cardo link to detect an acceptable BOOP sound
20:22 Are the control buttons on the handlebars only illuminated on the CVO or also on the normal Road Glide 2024?
tail lights look like they are off a yukon. they look good. sick machine all in all.
The best part of this bike is the suspension. Have never ridden another stock HD Touring bike that was even close. Please Harley if you filter anything from the CVOs to the main line bikes give them the inverted fork and quality rear suspension.
Nice bike!!! Home run
Great Content
Thank you!
What were the Dyno numbers on the Christmas 🎄 tree??? 🤘⚡️🤘✨✨✨
I bet that bump in Louisiana was coming out of New Orleans huh? I've hit that and flew up off my seat as well 😯😂
It was! 😂
Good vid blockhead
Thank you!
Not a bad looking bike. I would have to have a taller screen and I hate the look of the shock reservoirs mounted where they are. The carbon fiber doesn't do much for me either. I do like the newer style bags. Love the lighting this puts out. Personally I like the white better than the black. I definitely would choose a standard over the CVO. Even it has more than I want. I don't use any of the electronics they put on these things except the cruise.
Not sure I would use all that high end power. Love the bike, but maybe the standard RG may be way to go with the VVT. Plus big savings.
ah yes something to enjoy my breakfast to,nice
Oh yeah!
@@BlockheadMoto and now dinner
What’s so crazy is some will end up changing bags out and lowering them it’ll be the opposite now oh how things change and yet nothing will make anyone happy for long
I wish they’d keep it low tech and give us bikes more like the hydra glide. I know that isn’t popular but I prefer the older stuff
Best for you is to buy old stuff. We all cant live in the past.
So stoked for the Reverend Horton Heat show in May! Are you going? Bringing the sucker punch sally? I’m ready to win it.
We will be there, WITH the Sucker Punch Sally!
@@BlockheadMoto That’s cool. But try to keep the miles low for me 😂
It is a nice bike!
The redesigned fairing looks like Master Chiefs helmet and visor lol
I am a sci fi fan and for some reason the headlight on that bike makes me think about the Alien movie's and it's mouth .
try being 6'1" with that windshield. Even with the vent open, you have to have a full face, otherwise you have so much wind noise, it's unmanageable. I blame Olivia @ Orlando HD - she may be buy it :-)
PSA, don't ride down Terry Parkway from New Orleans toward Bell Chase. That's the worst paved road I've ever seen. Thought the transom on my boat was going fail and drop my outboard. 😂
I feel like for the vast majority of people. The lowrider st with 5k in upgrades would still save you nearly 20 grand and be just fine.
i would scoop it up but i'm in the same boat as you. out of my range
Dude, was it legit 60 mpg average on that ride? With the 121" at 127 hp? I know you were rolling at a good clip down the interstate. That's killer mpg.
Honestly I wish they did a Street Glide ST CVO, I just don't like the fixed fairing on the Road Glide. Chances are in two years I'll be doing a base-model Street Glide
These are based off the race bikes
I have a 24 breakout 117 do you guys have an exhaust for it yet?
How did the initial 1k service with oil change work? Seems like there were lots of crushed miles.
Stopped in at a Harley-Davidson dealership in El Paso, TX and they got it taken care of! Full vid of the ride across the US here if you want to check it out! - czcams.com/video/hKPvVWFJuJU/video.html
It’ll be interesting to see if any of these computer bikes will be on the road in 20 years.
Traded in a ‘23 RGST on one. No regrets!! Less top heavy, takes corners at greater speed, the bars and seat fit me perfect(5’9”), that 121 is awesome, sound and “seat hp feel”. Not meant to be a budget bagger. Enjoy for what it is, a CVO with actual performance components and capability. Plus when the time comes that CVO resale. That CVO vin has it’s own cache!!
Very nice… hard to get tho… some dealers are asking 5 to 10k over sticker, I heard they aren’t making to many of them.
They’re CVO’s, and CVO’s are limited editions
Mississippi and Louisiana have terrible roads. Last time I rode threw Mississippi, I blew out my rear shock from what I can only describe as a meteor crater. 😂
Bat wing > shark nose, it’s a nice bike tho for sure.
Nice 😅! Any other colors??
There’s also a white one I believe
They made 1500 black, and 1500 white
tried to book a service for a dyno tune but will not book a dyno tune for someone from out of town who would wait and ride it home... unfortunate
"We wanted to make this thing as powerful and as light as possible. As shipped weight is 800lbs." I nearly choked on my gum.
You could have just started with the lighter Pan American which starts at 5XX lbs and has more horsepower. This is why I don't get baggers and the bagger community. But, to each their own.
But that comment was where I stopped the video and closed that tab.
"bUt mUh TrAdTiOn"..
My theory is they figure either it wouldn't sell, OR, there's just not enough extra performance meat left on the bone of the Revolution 1250 engine.. My suspicion is the latter, as this years New CVO Pan America has NOTHING extra in the way of performance.
Conversely, when they build 90% of the M8’s as underperformers, the customers are blown away with something like the New Road Glide ST..
60 MPG! 😲
Nice
8:12 Dirty Boy !
Very 😅
Trouble, nothing but trouble. I say 74 beers.
First time seeing Blockhead without a helmet.
Surprise! Did a face reveal Oct. 2022, welcome back, lol
Its a bad bike. Took delivery of mine last Friday and what a ride it is. People who have never ridden one have no clue of how special this bike is.
Where's the quick shifter?!✊
If they are listening. Why did they get rid of the sportster when it was their best selling bike
When will Harley have electronic suspension like other premium motorcycles?
Electronics suspension is magic carpet ride
Seen a “Lost Boy” (searching for a hat)
Small change but..... BACKLIT CONTROLS!?!?!?!?!
Two Lane Life guys
If I could afford a bike that costs as much as a truck I’d own one of these. 😂
Blockhead and I went to different schools together. Can’t believe he didn’t call me when he was in Vegas.
Exhaust is plenty loud. You still want to listen to stereo
