I have a 2020 Softail Standard. I love mine. It handles great. The 107 has plenty of torque especially in a lighter weight bike. It looks like a motorcycle. It’s like a Sportster with a M8 motor. Best of both worlds. I put on a sissy bar, passenger pegs and a HD Sundowner seat.
I actually love this color. I know it's not exciting but I think it looks great on Softail, I just hate the color of the tank graphic, wish it was just a clean black Harley bar and shield badge.
I have a 2023 and I like its black color a lot better. I like to keep it stripped down in the Bobber style, but the one thing I think is worth adding is a detachable wind screen. They don’t change the look much at all, can easily be removed any time, and they really help with freeway riding. Totally love the bike though!
The Softail Standard has always been a one color paint bike but I am thinking by Harley Davidson not offering black it is going to hurt sales of this model now. IDK.
@@jagjr6772 it’s true. I have a 2022 standard. For 2024 base models have been made Billiard Grey instead of black. Low rider also. You can still get black for the standard still it’s just an up charge now.
Saw a CFL built by the Long Beach shop in 2000 in this color, every part. Had tangerine and lavender pinstripes. Worth a look? People were diggin that color 24 years ago
I really like it, and the color is nice, black is nice, but it's not the only color, you can't just be stuck on black, gray, green ,is nice too, be open minded, I even like some of the teac, some of it, I just think it could come down in price, you shouldn't have pay for your bike , for 6 or so years.
I love the Grey with the red Harley Davidson on the tank! Love that old-school appeal of standard. I absolutely positively 100 percent hate, HATE, the name! The standard? Come on, Harley. It makes it sound like you just don't care. It sounds like, yeah, here's a bike with chrome and the 107, and it's the cheapest, whatever? What they should have done is named this the Street Bob, and the 114, blacked out version should be the Street Bob Special.
They save on paint, but the bikes are getting more and more expensive. I think my 2012 883 was the last Harley I will buy; there are too many good options for that price on the market...
It cuts off at either 115mph or 105mph but if you get a regular stage 1 tune than the speed governor is removed and rpm rev limiter is higher. I'm pretty sure it's 115 mph cut off at stock though.
The grey is cool, but most will probably still want black. The bike looks good but the display is laughable. At least on camera, I couldnt make out anything. I would like to see what drag bars look like on it. Im sick of seeing mini apes on anything.
lol this bike has a bad case of paintflation! Harley is dying due to the prices average people cannot afford them especially the younger generation . even their used bikes are over priced for what you get with high miles.
I just did a test ride on the standard. The ergonomics on this bike are a disaster. This video is BS!. Sure, you can change the ergoes IF you want to spend thousands of dollars. Sure everyone upgrades. Harley is a rip-off for suckers that want to "upgrade." Everyone "upgrades" because the bike is a disaster. This review is a joke.

John how do you like Sundowner Seat on this bike ? Thanks
I have a 2022 standard too, just like you HD sissy bar, sundowner 2up seat, and more windshield, guard etc.
Almost everyday I ride it with smile~~!!
How can they call it billiard gray when there's no gray billiard ball? I call it primer gray with clear coat.
That color is trash. Primer for sure.
Yup
Exactly! That fu*cking color is everywhere. And I hate it.
Accurate statement. I can’t believe anyone at Harley thought that was a good idea!

I totally feel this. Have the same bike and ended up doing the Memphis shades, totally changed the look but I loved it.
Clocks not being set is an extreme pet peeve of mine. I always make sure they're right.
I agree totally
Shame they couldn’t make them look like the older 2000-2006 model Standards. That was when they had a classic look!
Yes, needs the flipped up bob tail rear fender.
The new base colour of Harley bikes seems like a money grab. I think its going to hurt sales very noticably
Basic black was beautiful. Shiny primer gray, not so much. Now , make the entry price 'affordable'
Screw that little pager, Harleys should have gauges.
Agree the one thing I hate on mine is that stupid garage door opener
*Battleship Gray.
Glad I got mine in black last year.

Black is still being offered it’s just an up charge now because Billard grey is the base colour now instead of black.
I believe the soft tail standard does not have another paint color option @@riffboogie6529
@@riffboogie6529 Are you sure? Softail Standard has always been a one color only model.

Looks great, awesome bike.
I agree I am 175 cm tall and when I sat on that bike my knees came up as well totally uncomfortable 😢
Excellent video.
Beautiful bike and the color belongs.
Mine is a ‘20 vivid black, but I like the gray. HD should make color optional in the fxst
I like the black color much better. to me it gave it a cool look
I would love all of the chrome but on the Street Bob 114
i have the 23 love the color
Some red/orange flames on that color would look good

Bike comes in black as well for those that don't like the billiard gray, for an up-charge.
I can't say I like the grey. Otherwise.....I love it.
2024 comes with 2 colors Grey and Black 😊
He tall are you?
Would you say this is a good beginner bike for someone with zero riding experience or knowledge ?
I'm glad I got my '23 when black was the standard color. I'm not a fan of primer.
The only thing I would change is the pipes and foot pegs and hand grips
❤❤❤❤❤

Can it go over 100 mph or does Harley stop it from going fast
It cuts off at either 115mph or 105mph but if you get a regular stage 1 tune than the speed governor is removed and rpm rev limiter is higher. I'm pretty sure it's 115 mph cut off at stock though.
I'll have to get the tins sprayed black because that grey really sucks, you're better off buying a street Bob or a used standard 😢
Billiard Gray is not new for 2024. My '23 FLTRXS is two-tone with Bright Billiard Blue, Billiard Gray, and a Billiard Red pinstripe.
Grey makes more sense if you are thinking of repainting.
Sure did sound like an infomercial.
I Drive 2022
I love my Bike
I think it looks surprisingly good. Better than black.
Into into one exhaust and you Woods cam
Dump that red lettering and you have a winner.
Yeah I actually love the grey but it would look so much better with just a clean black bar and shield badge instead of the red lettering.
I hate the new colour 😂

As if things weren’t going well for Harley already they go and put the base colour to grey . Very greedy Harley. Base colours should always be black
I hate that color
Gay.........we whant black
