I did it, I did it, I bought a 18 Softail Deluxe with 1473 miles. Electric blue color. I’m so stoked!! Come on summer time.
Congrats! I'm thinking about buying a 17 FXDL with 4295 miles on it, two tone Bonneville Blue / Fathom Blue myself.
Congrats! Welcome to the party 🤙
Nice. How's it going two years later?
@@gregorycampbell1857 honestly I haven’t ridden it. You see I bought because I love that model so much but I’m in a wheelchair. I was hit on my bike back in 1980 and have been in a wheelchair ever since :(. No I won’t do a trike sorry. But I love to look at BLU and polish her. Couple buddies cone over and take her for ride to stretch her out. Ty
@@ronmarvicsin7709 Oh wow. Sorry to hear.

One of the best videos I’ve ever seen on bikes.
I'm not an active nor adamant Harley rider, but out of all the bikes I've tested out from Harley, the Deluxe has got to be my favorite. It's classic looks are gorgeous and it is perfect for just cruising around. It's exactly what I want from a company like Harley.
It's about time I have been looking for an explanation like that for a while
I got a 2018 Fat Bob; still very happy with IT 👌🏼
This is an incredibly well done video and very helpful, thank you for putting this together
I bought a 2003 Heritage Classic Softtail,the bike is amazing and handles like a dream! Harley 4-Ever🤘🏻🤘🏻
Have an 06 took off bags and windshield love the look get a lot of complaints with white walls tires and spokes 🇺🇸🤙
Softail slim here ;
Love the traditional old school look - floorboards -
Low & beefy-
Yeah definitely Softail Slim! Coolest bike from Harley in a long time with 2500.00 in upgrades to exhaust and air cleaner, you have a badass bike that looks great and runs like mf’er! HD forever!
@@j.n.jacksonjr.170 getting older now and choppers will be out cause of rake . I am liking floorboards now also . So I ride my 2003 softail standard with 33.5 degrees rake . I bit harder to hold up a stop ; front wants to twist .
I ride wife’s 2007 streetbob with 29 degrees rake and much easier to ride and hold up at stop .
No bagger for me . Older ya get shoulders go and less weight all the better . Pulling that thing over !!!-
Well ; keep your knees in the breeze - ✊🏻👍👌🙏
I hear ya Brother, just turned 59 myself, my 76 shovel with rake and extended front end and highway pegs is nostalgic but not suited for me or my age. Just test rode a 2018 Softail Slim and absolutely love the bike, old school style with great handling and power! Floorboards are very comfortable. Stay up Bro! HD forever!
@@j.n.jacksonjr.170 yup ; amen ta that -
Turned 60 here . Gal I know at HD dealer said : “ you ride one them new ones and you will love the ride and power.” She preferred the fat boy . I also have a shovelhead 74 - 1974 fxe in atlas softail frame . S&s cyls, std heads , Jim s 5speed , Dave mackie head job and cam . Mega bucks -
Kids want it and prefer it and sound over Twinkie.
Keep anti trading and buying straight out save from taking it in rear and have garage full now . ✊🏻👍👌🙏
Excellent rundown of the softails ... this new softail platform is extremely exciting and you nicely cleared up the line. Cheers
Used to hate the new fatbob... now I'm liking the look of it more and more
I really wanna see the Low Rider with mini apes on it. I wasn’t a fan of the T-Bars on it until I rode it. However I think I want the Street Bob with mag wheels. Although I also love the bigger fuel capacity on the Low Rider. Too tough to choose.
My favorite is the Sport Glide. Thanks 👍
Go test ride it. It is a fun bike to ride. Awesome bike.
@@mojomanmurph1925 I'm not allowed to in Australia... still on a restriction for CCs
@@turtle19dad I think the dyna is no more.
Great video with a lot of really good info! Wish I had seen it a week ago! I just bought a 2015 Deluxe. I was on a Street 750 (my first ever bike) which was a blast, but not great on longer rides. I bought the Deluxe bc I thought it would answer my craving for my developing love of longer rides. Being a new rider and new to the riding community, I had no idea about the street glide. Sorta wish I had tested one BUT....I LOVE my Classic so far🥰.
Right when I heard that bell sound I was waiting for Hells Bells to start playing by AC/DC..lol
I greatly appreciate the fact based approach you use here. Very informative and very useful.
What an awesome video. So glad i came across your channel. Love your work mate. Thank you.
Tyvm for this. Was looking at picking up a Sportster and then fell in love with the Street Bob. Been riding for 50 years and this will be my first Harley.
I have the 2019 heritage blue and white . Love it
1st harley was a softail custom
2nd is a heritage classic
Love the classic
I learned to ride two years ago. I bought a iron 1200 (2020) and it's a blast to ride around town on the weekend and riding it to work. When i get that itch for a longer run, I'd say at least a couple hours, my butts hurts after an hour and since it doesn't have cruise control, my throttle hand cramps, so I'm thinking about upgrading to a softail or a street glide. Great informative video. I knew I searched for a blockhead video about this for a reason.
This very informative video sold me on the Sport Glide. I purchased a 2020 and am super happy with everything about it.
I always wanted the Softail Slim S. Love the look and thought it was comfy when I took it for a test drive. It will be a bit before I can afford one but I think I'll do a few more test drives before I settle on that decision. Thanks for the video!
Fell in love with the Softail Slim myself!
I love the diversity in the soft tail line up. The streetbob is my dream bike and I love it the way it is. The rest are also absolutely amazing in their own way too like the deluxe.
I just bought a 2023 Softail Standard. Absolutely love it. Lots of power and a canvass to build it how i want it
I have a 2019 107 street Bob (1st bike). Just hit 1 yr/10k miles with it and I’m still in love!! Awesome beginner bike
Pretty bikes,congrats on 200k.Your channel has almost doubled since FLMM.
I just bought my first Harley (best decision I ever made) and I find your videos the best, most informative and enjoyable, thanks, keep it up!
Congratulations
What exactly you got?
Very precise very detailed ! Love the video ! All the best keep doing such videos.
Just traded my Roadster for a Low Rider, (I only went to the dealer to book in for a service) just fell in love with it in twisted cherry
I have a Lowrider also, I love it except it is hard to turn in turn around.
This is a GREAT video. Nice work on the details!
Amazing video 🙌🏽🏍 I’m trynna get myself a softail for next summer.
Excellent review. Very comprehensive!. Keep up the amazing work! You have a new subscriber!
Thanks mate! very informative in helping me learn about the various differences.
That Deluxe is lookin mighty fine omg
Great rundown on the differences. Thanks Blockhead!
I recommend anyone thinking of buying a new Harley to watch this video first before watching any other videos. Nice job Block Head!
November 2017 I bought my 18 Heritage. I love it more and more with all of it's 11k miles
Thank you for the very informative video. Keep up the great work. And yes, please do a 2020 Touring video.
Awesome video Blockhead ... Thanks for taking the time to make the video brother .. Love the Fat Bob , a nice bike and the seat is very comfortable, but definitely not a fan of the headlight design ..
Great video! I bought a Sport Glide and love it! Harley did a great job designing the Soft Tail chassis.
1. Deluxe
2. Fat boy
3. Heritage classic
Great video! Thank you Seminole Harley Davidson!
I bought the new Fat Bob and I must says " What a different " . The monoshock suspension Is awesome and much better for my back. Performance is also much better . I am 1,90 M and fits perfect , didn't expect that before I made a test drive . Great video.
Softail Deluxe. Chrome is king!
Timely video; I've been strongly considering a softail for my vertically challenged self. The Street Bob and Low Rider are contenders due to their mid-controls. Thanks for another thorough review.
Did u buy one?
@@julianvaldiviezo1904 I did; used 2016 FLSS in late 2019. I swapped out the seat for a Le Pera Solo Forward and am working on my 2nd season now.
Sport glide is my dream ride, looking forward to my next upgrade, hopefully
I bought myself a 2018 Anniversary Edition Fatboy 114 & I’m just a show stopper on the road with that Badass Fatboy 👍
The bikes the showstopper not you 😉
Thanks, awesome viewing of the bikes. I appreciate that.
MAN GREAT JOB!!! I LOVED THE VIDEO!!! VERY INFORMATIVE!!!👍🏽
my dads got a 2002 Harley Davidson Softail Fatboy that he bought about 9 years ago, he's loved the bike ever since.
Bought a 2019 Low rider, best running best handling Harley I've ever had
Gotta say I love the Fat Bob, but the FXDR is second on my list
The Fat Bob S ughhh beautiful!
Well explained on all differences on bikes, I got the 2021 Fat bob. lights, suspension, exhaust, like it!
I just got the street bob on the 3rd of this month at Orlando Harley. As a first time rider, it has a stupid amount of power and I love it. Pro tip put forward controls
I really am digging the softail platforms, man. They ride really good.
Insofar as factory bobbers go, I still have yet to see any company pull it off as well as victory with the highball. That is just on a different level.
My favorite harley is still the Lowrider S, though. Most beautiful and raw cruiser right out of the box.
Hey man, great vid! How about the touring bikes?
I absolutely love my 2019 FXFB.. I test road all the other Softails and the fatbob was perfect for me. Being a tall guy the controls just fit me great.
How tall are you?
@@ffstretch 3’7.25”
@@ffstretch 57cm
Great job as usual!! I think I might have you narrate my funeral when the day come. 😂 Your stats and facts were spot on!
Great video. Learnt heaps. Thinking about getting a Harley. Super expensive here in Australia though.
The night train was the beat softtail. I've got a modded 06 and I'll never let it go.
Great review. I just got the sport glide. Almost impossible to find any negative views on it
Best explanation of the Softail line I've found 👍👍
Well, I wonder if these going to keep the brand alive. Some of them were very nice, but they are also very pricey. I wish Harley-Davidson the best of luck.
I just bought the same heritage shown in the video. My first bike and i love it.
Great job on this video. Lots of info to take in.
Rode the 2019 Fat Bob 114. That's the ride man,that's the ride. You can blast through the two lane blacktop corners with ease. You can grab the throttle on the last 1/3 of the curve coming out and then you're off, blasting down the road. Pricing is a bit steep but this bike H.D. got right. Love the Red and the White.
Loving the street bob! Of course amsoil in it always!
Another thing about softail is the engine is hard mounted unlike the touring which are still rubber mounted. also some come with the cruise control which is super great. great video.
Great video…I enjoyed and Mrs. Gunz will be watching it as we are in the market for her.
- Vrod wraith - monoshock alloy girder front end,
Link front brake oil pressure to front damping ,
Link front & rear hydrostatic with bias control.
Or go cable cam lever disc.
Thank you for the exact info. , Verbal and visual , that I wanted to receive. 👍🏼🍻
I test rode the FXDR last weekend, it is a fun bike to ride. Only thing negative i could say is the breather causes your right leg to sit out a bit so you cant hug the gas tank with your knees.
I have three criteria: Style - Functionality - Handling.
when it comes to style - Deluxe and Breakout are the top two, Fat Bob and Heritage are the worst, imo. Also FXDR, which does not look like a Harley, at all.
the most functional Softail is definitely Sport Glide, not only for removable bags and fairing, but also it has hydraulic suspension lifter, cruise control and abs, also inverted forks. the least functional are Street Bob and Slim. Also other bikes with small tanks.
the best handling bikes in the line up are FXDR and Fat Bob, with best lean angle, suspension, dual disc front brakes and inverted forks. the worst in this category is Breakout because of long rake and wide rear tyre.
Overall, the Best Softail in my opinion is Deluxe, because its just GORGEOUS, aesthetically Deluxe just stands way above any other Softails, also it handles pretty decently with normal rear tyre, abs, average rake and lean angle.
Second place goes to Sport Glide, its the most functional, really good handling, because of inverted forks, 180 rear tyre, rake and trail, also it looks awesome, with fairing and bags as well as naked.
THE HERITAGE IS BAD LOOKING?!?!?!
Thank you for video . I just got a sport glide .
Great Vid again. I've converted to HD for cruisers. I love the look of the Fat Bob, I may trade it in for the FXDR next year but for now, it's an absolute joy to ride and look at. LEAVE THE LIGHTS! lol
Great review! Love the Heritage Softail! Oh and Fatboy!
Lots of high tech Harley machines. But I have a love affair with my 99 EVO powered Softail Custom. And I am 82 years old. I love the simplicity of the carbureted engine and old school technology.
Bell yeah!! Thats the best I've seen out all the youtube creators!! It's so catchy!! Touché!
Excellent video, thumbs up, subbed!
My favorite Harley line is the Solftail.
My faves, based in my riding style, are in this order:
Sport Glide
Heritage Classic
Fatboy (my fave but less practical for me)
Breakout (sexy as hell)
Breakout
Fatbob
FXDR (last but not least)
Low Rider (the most underrated bike in H-D's lineup) , and the Sport Glide (now that Laidlaw's HD in Los Angeles has shown what that can become via their Coast Glide builds)!
Completely agree. Saw that build and looks absolutely awesome. Itll be my next bike for sure.
Yeah I saw it too..thinking of trading my street glide next year
Awesome review Loved it very detailed!
I just bougth 2019 Sport Glide, i love it. 👍🇺🇸
Same here, had it almost a month. Great bike.
I have had mine since march, what a ride and with stage one with vance long shot sounds great and power.
Bought the Deluxe, sure rides nice. With the 12 inch apes, fits me just fine.
Thanks for the thorough video 👍🏻 I just bought a very low (~340 miles) mileage 19’ FXDR, wanted a Fatboy or a Fatbob but no luck. I like it so far, but would love to have your feedback regarding any issues or recommended mods. Best regards,,
Compared to any other person promoting or explaining these Harleys you make me want any of those I do have a favorite
Thanks for this video finally. Haha, though I'm still annoyingly torn between a few options
I own a deuce. Think it's the coolest softail ever. Looks awesome with radical paint and custom parts. Love the rake wider tire. A ness lowering kit . Still love it.
I also am the deuce 2004 Screaming Eagle love that bike
Good reviews thanks Blockhead!!!
Very informative video man. 👍🏻👍🏻
nice. thanks, i will stay with my 2013 softail slim.
Bell yeah squad! All this video did for me is confirm that the fxdr is my favorite. Fat Bob's a close second
Thank you soo much. This had been the most helpful for me.
Love the heritage classic 114! Fat boy, fat bob too! I’ll take em all lol. It’s a motorcycle ! Keep up the good work blockhead. Great detailed video !
Prior to my current bike, I had a 2018 Street Bob. I miss that bike on the daily. And for those that miss the Dyna, you may be high on nostalgia... If I could do a second bike, I'd have another in a second.
Loved the Deluxe, Fat Boy and Sport Glide.
Wow look at all those heritages 🤩1 of those or a sportster and my life would be complete!
FXDR has a really futuristic "Day The Earth Stood Still" look. Love it, but I barely have a 27" flat foot, more like a 26".
Blockhead,
I’m 6’0” about 210lbs, athletic build, I’ve had people tell me I need a 1200CC bike and I’ve had others say a 650CC bike would suffice, looking to buy a cruiser for my first motorcycle. Do you have a specific video going over how to choose the right size motorcycle? I don’t want to look like a clown on the bike. Thanks man, loved watching your learning to ride videos!
I went with a Fat Bob stage 3 117 but soon will be putting a 5 gallon tank on I love the bike.
Between the FXDR and another sporty cruiser I'd have to go with the XDiavel. I have my Springer classic for cruising but yeah, for a sport cruiser I think HD needs to update a bit more.
I don’t know if you still do test rides but I would love to see your full thoughts on the softail slim
