In 2009, I did circumference of the USA, with a military shipmate of mine.. from East Coast to San Diego, to Seattle, to Chicago, north, etc etc .. took two months, 14,000 miles and we crossed 28 states. In 2016, I drove alone to Sturgis, South Dakota. 2,000 miles, one way, same motorcycle as the one I did circumference with. Not one single issue. I sold my bike, a 2007 ultra classic, due to health issues. Now, at age 74, I am dreaming again for another Harley. Dreaming about heading north, through Maine, into Canada, across entire country, then south East bound, back to Florida. How’s THAT, for a dream run?
Beautiful bike, I've had my bike license for 51 year's now, but had to give up riding because of a bad heart. I finally got a heart transplant four years ago, so I figure all that I've been through, I'm going to treat myself to a fully decked out Harley Davidson. I've always loved those beautiful, loud machine's with that nice rumble that goes with it. I live in upstate New York State, and every year I would attend the AMERICADE @ Lake George, good time, good companionship! And you can't meet a finer group of people than the people you run into at the AMERICADE!!! Thank you so much for a very informative video on that new 2020 Harley Davidson. Although the blacked out features are really nice, I'm old school and I'm still very partial to a lot of chrome!!! Thank's again for your really nice and informative video. Stay healthy, ride safely, God Bless...
I’m SOLD! Been sold for a month. Had a GW for 8 yrs.... Valkyrie for 6. Then Harley got really serious! Going to my local West Texas dealer tomorrow. Need me a new Geezer glide!
I test rode this motorcycle. And it’s my first time riding a touring or any big motorcycle. I have a dyna right now and I love my bike but my wife don’t like it. Seat too small she says. So we test rode this bike and I did not feel the weight of the bike. I can make sharper turns with this bike than my dyna that’s for sure. My wife said it was very comfortable for her too. We liked this bike but not sure yet on owning one.
Get the front of the seat off the tank. It rubs the paint off especially on denim paint. Why can't they do like Indian and put a leather bib on the tanks so the seat rest on it instead of the paint.
Nice sales pitch. Definitely not a fan of the blacked out look. Some points everyone should know... You no longer get the touring luggage inserts, a second FOB, a closing fairing vent or a heel shifter. In my opinion, the heel shifter is a requirement for me and if we are putting out for a tour bike, we should be able to tour with it.
so let me get this right. 1. $30000 2. 90hp on a 900 lb bike 3. no heated seats 4. no lights in the saddlebags 5. 1 keyfob 6. no heal shifter 7. no auto locks on saddle bags 8. you have to pay a monthly fee for a security system???? I just cant understand why Harley is suffering so much in sales....weird
I had an 05 electra glide that made my head feel like it was in a paint shaker. They say the new bikes reduce buffeting "23%" but WTF does that mean? I guess I need to ride one. I've been saying for years if I can find a touring bike that doesnt shake my head I'll pay cash on the spot. Why cant I just find a bike I can RIDE? So many years fighting the buffeting! 23%? how about 100%. GTFO!
HD is about to price themselves out of business. This time is won't be so easy make a comeback. Just why I will never buy another new bike. $40 can get you a really nice street rod. I will keep my 2010 Heritage. It will run 70 all day.
Yea, they need to innovate and soon. This isn't appealing to new generations of buyers, and unlike in the 80's, I don't think the government is going to save them this time.
They weight to damn much...but to have a big bike..it is what it is...sold mine..got tired of it trying to fall over all the time...very easy to dump if you are not paying attention....to damn easy for me...lol... Went to the Streetglide..world of difference...dont need the tourpak...cause i am not packing some female...either...both are a pain in the ass...lol...
all new, except the same suspension, fairing, frame, bags, lowers, brakes, engine, tank, seat, kickstand.. otherwise great review, but the only thing basically new about it is the paint and engine color, let's not fool ourselves by calling it "all new".
Something to mention the Harley touch screens are glove friendly ..and add up all the standard features that is NOT standard on a Honda goldwing and the Harley cost way less by $thousands of bucks with the same high technology as the optional list on the Honda ..last year a load goldwing cost over $30,000 dollars !!!!
and the Honda a better build bike. Don't get me wrong, I love my HD, but they better get their ass in gear or find themselves fighting to stay alive. I have NO allegiance to HD and would have no problem riding the new automatic Goldwing cross country.
standard features such as what? airbag? no thats goldwng. heated seats? no that is goldwing. reverse? nope again... goldwing. lifetime of reliability? notta thats goldwing..
Sure glad you like all that blacked crap. Can't get much uglier. HD saving that money on chrome and selling it as awesome to the ones that buy into that BS
@ I know that different people like different things, but a dull paint job does nothing for any bike. Then you take away the chrome and look what you have. The only plus I see for the dull paint, if you get a scratch, just to to Walmart and get some Krylon shaker paint, problem solved.
Jerry times change ,I ride an 06 deuce and people continually comment "your bike is so shiny" most of the bikes in my club are late model blacked out cruisers that all look the same as if they are clones,,,so boring but its the fashion at this moment,Im in NZ and that bike is nearly 60 k here....
@@jeffhdpd782 , That's actually not true. Harley Davidson ranks 4th in reliability. 1. Yamaha, 2. Kawasaki, 3. (Tie) Honda and Suzuki. Reliability for the Italian bikes is abysmal; yet, they have their fans. I have my issues with Harley Davidson, but I don't feel the need to trash them.
I'm sorry dude, I just bought a 2020 cvo ultra, which I love, but don't say the speakers are good on the non cvo,,, on the cvo, even with gts boom box, they are crap, can't even hear decent base or treble doing 100kmh here in oz or your 60 miles per hour,,, the speakers are shite,,,was even better on my bog standard 1995 ultra classic

MSRP only $1K more than SGS but you get so much more...seems like a sweet spot. Thx.

I appreciate your humility about the Gts system. Dealers still don’t understand the system. I learn more on You Tube and that’s a shame.
A insane amount of technology. Homerun Harley Davidson!
Hate the blacked out look. Blacked out used to mean the cheap Harley version. The more chrome the better.
Glad they still have the chrome version.
Black is the new Chrome 👌🏻
Beautiful
I like to look at other peoples chrome, it's purdy!
I looked at one yesterday 33k but holy shit its absolutely worth it.

just curious...are you a big fan of the blacked out version? Just messing with ya...
Just looked at a 2019 goldwing today. $19,000.00.
so let me get this right.
1. $30000
2. 90hp on a 900 lb bike
3. no heated seats
4. no lights in the saddlebags
5. 1 keyfob
6. no heal shifter
7. no auto locks on saddle bags
8. you have to pay a monthly fee for a security system????
I just cant understand why Harley is suffering so much in sales....weird
Does it have apple carplay?
think they are called " Slicer II" wheels?,, ,Tomahawk are on the CVO Limited
Well spoken. Nice clear verbatim and great video.
Great presentation bra
What color is that? Beautiful.
I love it
Still no power adjustable windshield? Lol 😂 but a new app with a monthly fee. Awesome 👏🤣
Hd is still the kind of the hill!
That is a advanced bike
Awesome bike trade my road glide special for a ultra limited river rock gray today 👌🏻
Is it water cooled now?
The blackout looks awful no pop out at all....would get the chromed version. A lot of the features came out in 2014.
WOW! if only i was rich ! And didn't mind leaving it in the garage over the winter.BUT, i'm not so i can't justify paying 40.000 for a bike.
Weird, mine was under 30k. quit making shit up
It's not a CVO.
I had an 05 electra glide that made my head feel like it was in a paint shaker. They say the new bikes reduce buffeting "23%" but WTF does that mean? I guess I need to ride one. I've been saying for years if I can find a touring bike that doesnt shake my head I'll pay cash on the spot. Why cant I just find a bike I can RIDE?
