Hey man I just wanted to tell you that Ive been watching you for awhile and never subscribed. But I watched the video and finally decided that your a cool dude. Every time I buy a bike or look into a bike I always end up watching your videos on em. I dont search you up, it just happens. I appreciate you bro, keep it up
Heritage Softail is the best looking Harley
I have a 2000 Heritage I put 16" apes on...I'm 6'4"...I am more comfy on this bike than our 2016 Ultra Limited (that I put 14" apes on) and can ride my Heritage for 8 hour days back to back and have no pain. I LOVE how I can strip the windshield and bags off in 2 mins. (quick release bag kit is golden) and I got a town bike/cruize night bike...and then I can put shield and bags on....load up and even throw on a backpack...and I can live off the Heritage for a week traveling and camping. Mine is a carb bike with V+H pipes....nothing sounds as good as the 'loping' of a carb at idle with a nice loud set of pipes! (to me) I've ridden on the street for 40 years this year. I've owned a Harley since 1989....the 2000 Heritage I have set up now is by far the best bike I have ever had. I'll keep it forever. (oh, and those who bemoan the cam-tensioners just don't know....or haven't been around long enough....heck, we used to have to tear down and tighten the valves after every 2000 miles! Maintenance should be a part of every rider's journey (again, to me)
I'm 6 ft 6 and I've rode an 09 Fatboy and I had a 83 virago and honestly I fell in love with the heritage Softail because it's comfortable I can write it comfortably and like you said I can take it on long trips and not even have to worry too much about the back pain
I have a Harley this model. I use it while commuting and it doesn't cause any problems. It consumes a lot of fuel, but it's worth it for the Harley love.
I've got a '99 Heritage Softtail. It's the last yr of the 1340cc EVO motor, and I wouldn't trade it for a new one! We've been down the road for many miles together with NO problems!
Got me a 98 I haven’t gotten to ride it much since it’s winter but I’m loving it
Yo tengo una del 97 y tampoco la cambiaria por una nueva para mi el motor evo es el mejor saludos en ✌️desde mallorca España
Shout out to the sticky note that survived the whole ride!
Windshields may be "dumb" for those who never get above 40 mph but for those of us who spend most of our time on the freeway, a windshield is a must.
@Psycho Foamer Your face is not the only area affected by the wind.
honestly my legs get affected the most when i'm going 80-85mph. I can handle the air on my chest but my legs get tired from trying to stay straight, they get pushed back and I have to like actively resist it lol. Maybe I need highway pegs.
@@Silidons91 highway pegs are defintly nice my legs cramp on my bike right at the hip and knee if i dont use my highway pegs
I hear ya there rn my bike has no windshield and im a all season rider by choice amd no windshield sux plus i think a wiend shield just makes the harley heritage just look even more gorgeous thats a nice bike in the video but seein her without the windshield is screamin at me i look good but i can look better
Bugs hurt and wind is a pain in the chest and head
My 03 Heritage Classic is an absolute masterpiece of a bike
Love my 2009 Heritage Classic w/ wide whitewalls. Black w/ tons of chrome and leather.
My 98' FXSTS just came out of the Harley shop. I let them have at it. I have never had a new "great shape" bike. I am loving it. It is only 80 ci 1340 cc. Really enjoyed this video. No signals, no bags 1 mirror.
I think windshields look cool, I just bought a 06 heritage has the windshield on it and I love it, it's amazing the difference in fatigue.
I have one and a street glide. Both are good in their own way. The heritage is great for putting around town and on backroads. The street glide is great out on highways with your speed up.
Love my 03 Heritage! I always ride with windshield and gloves. Throttle by cable Harley's have a throttle lock you can turn the wheel with your thumb which helps quite a bit since they can't have an actual cruise control like throttle by wire bikes.
I got a 02 heritage softail classic. Carbrated with fish tail pipes. With 22500 miles. My pipes are so loud that I get headaches if I don't wear ear plugs. But I Absolutely love this bike.
Only thing I wish is it had is a 6th gear.
LOVE the heritage ! And its no windshield and saddlebags for me !
I love my 2013 heritage put stage one kit she’s never let me down and will always keep her till my riding days are over then going to grandson ❤
Hey mate, nice review. What audio and video products are you using to speak while you ride. Its good quality! Id love to do the same thing.
My first bike was a 1941 45 Cu In Sport Solo. I didn't have a windshield and one night I was coming home when an owl hit me right in the chest at about 50 mph. and I almost came off the bike. I put on a windshield and I have had one on every bike since. I have a 02 FLSTC I like it it runs good and was a one owner bike it is like new with 30 K on it but I wish I would have looked for a good Evo instead that I v can work on without screwing up some computer.
Sean, like the word "Deer", it is "Heritage" (flock of Heritage, or gaggle of Heritage, I don't know which)... No "s" and no other changes needed. My two cents. I have a 1997 Heritage Springer and I am 6', 220 lbs. The bike is cramped in the foot to floor board area. The newer bikes, like this one, have more foot room. Leg room is also cramped on the Evo Heritage. Heritage are good for winter or summer. Slow, but good looking for winter garage smiles, in snow country..
Thanks really helps I just got one
great video thany you 👍
I dont care for the looks of a windshield, prob never put one on my vmax, but a lot of cruising on my vtx 1800, and Raider1900, they look ok, love the benefits, the bikes look good enough to have them. I do pop them off and the saddlebags for around town cruising sometimes.
I’m new to harleys I’m looking at a heritage 1995 with 35k miles for 4,500 here in Cali is that a reasonable price range?
I ride year round, any weather, and some days that windshield is amazing.
Respect to the stars!
2016 the Softails come with Cruze control standard
I am thinking of shipping a friends bike can you suggest a good economical shipper thank you
I have a '01 fuel inj. Love to ride it stripped. But ya get on the hwy. gotta have that shield on. I live in farm country S.Dakota. Get hit with a constant barage of bugs or take a hit by a Bird. Youll put that screen on bigtime. Love the leather too.
Hi Dicky I have just bought a softail 1995 26.000 on the clock has all the bells and whistles I have been told that the EVO engine is allegedly the best engine harley made I'm in the UK my bike should be here in a few weeks as I bought it and shipped it from Florida . can't get any real info here in your opinion how do you rate the EVO softails it does have a screen which will stay on for long distance .
What brand of post it note was that… That’s good
I love how he say just throw on them bags throw on that windshield and throw on that lady friend haha
I have the efi 2001. I love the thing! It's my best friend! If I'm in a shitty mood, he gets me happy! Solo seat cause I ain't sharing this bad boy! 54 thou.,just broke in!
Just picked up an 04 heritage classic Softail with 589 miles on it. Been daily riding and got it up to 1700 miles in the past 3 weeks
I own one. Best motorcycle/bike I've had.
Harley Heritage is just a bad ass looking bike. With or without windshield with or without saddle bags. Up to the 2017 model. 2018 and up they look like every other bike. But hey that’s just me 😎
That's definitely the bike for me, or a Heritage Springer or Road King...
Drax68 or a dick
@@norgepalm7315 got dick on the brain do we.lol
I've always loved the look of the Heritage. Our rental years ago was the beginning of many bikes bought since.
Last year I bought Yamaha TW200 and missed not being able to take my wife along.
I almost bought a like new Heritage a few days prior but felt I best go for a ride first and try one locally.
A few days later I happened to pass by the local HD dealership and decided to take a 2021 Heritage (w/shield) for a test ride. It was now or never. Absolutely gorgeous!
The helmet turbulence was HORRIBLE and I was seeing double in short order. The entire bike vibrated. I couldn't return this fast enough.
I've owned almost all large touring bikes and none rode this badly.
My dual sport was SO much smoother and I have zero helmet buffeting. I was shocked.
That has ended my quest for any Heritage, no matter how great they look. Maybe this is why there are so many for sale with so few miles.
Wasn't that many years ago I could still ride 25k miles/year.
wind shields aren't stupid,
I just finished the paperwork today to buy my own 2010 Heritage Soft Tail. I'm 6ft 2 and I'm comfortable on it lol
Got a 1990 had it years
Thinking of getting one of these as a first bike. Would this make a good first? Is there a specific year(s) that y’all would recommend? Have y’all had any reliability issues? I just want to get something that I love now and will love 20+ years down the road. Thanks!
Ever since I first started riding 1972 I've always felt safer on a heavier bike. I wouldn't hesitate starting on a softail. Take the motorcycle safety foundation course you will learn a ton. Then you get the cert to get your licence, all in one basket!! Then take your time learning. Practice for a bit every time you get on it. You'll be good to go! It becomes a part of you! Good luck!
Debating this or an F6C Valkyrie
Anyone else waiting for that sticky note to fly off the tank? Another great video thanks.
GuitarWorm I kept watching it flip as he talked. If that had been my grocery list - whooosh gone in 2 seconds
I love the Heritage Softail.
Answer to ya Question Positively Yes! Love it to death.
I am dead set on a Road King but I really like the Heritagi, Heritageszz... anyway, which one would you choose?
Another great video, keep up the great work
MrTurnone road king hands down.
I like the bike but tell me more about that free couch
Im goin wensday to look at an 06 heritage softail fuel injected fifty thousand miles been babied and very well taken care of finally ready to get off the old 82 750 maximum tired of pushing the damn thing
My 2000 FLSTC is a good, honest partner!
I may have just traded my 2002 FLSTC for a 1995 FLSTC even up if the deal sticks.
Got 2009love it
CVO softail convertible came with cruise
nice work place! I would like the same :-)
This is baisically the bike for me anyone know more bikes exactly like this
Windshields are dumb? LOL I've tried my bike without windshield or with half height windshield. Sure, it looks cooler with no windshield, but no doubt you get less beat up as the majority of wind is deflected with a midsize windshield. The latter is more preferable.
The windshield ties my beard in knots
Ter uma harley é um sonho!!!
Getting the windshield right is as much of an art as it is a science. I’ve sold bikes cause I couldn’t get it right. When you do get it right, life couldn’t be better. Most will never know.
yer stripped down heritage looks ok
Amen!
2003 Harley Davidson Fatboy
PS Absolutely no Vibration at all. From idle thru hwy speeds.
Softail too much for a beginner?
SHORT ANSWER BEFORE EVEN WATCHING THE VIDEO. YES BUY ONE OF THESE. YOU WILL LOVE IT.
The answer is yes
GLOVES man.. GLOVES
Im 50 years old and eating bugs got really old too
How many miles does a heritage softail classic usually last?
Is 25 or 50k miles a lot?
With regular maintenance and upkeep, 75k to 100k miles is not unheard of.
People who ride long distance can appreciate the saddlebags and windshield. LOL
Big Deal
meh i run long trips idc about the windshield but i do love me some leather saddle bags
Never liked looking through a windscreen, but I do miss the bags for sure. I now run a Deluxe and prefer the looks of the fender, so it's a swing arm bag for the essentials and a back pack for the extras. Ride on!
I ride long distances and HATE windshields, myself.
@@toothfairy1605 How come?
Raven R I never could adjust the buffeting properly, I'll admit. Pain in the butt riding when they get dirty and balancing at low speeds and high wind tight u turns.
However, more importantly, sitting with just the handlebars in front of you with nothing else also reminded me of the passage, "he mounted a cherub and flew". I've never seen the cherub he flew, but from what I visualise the handlebars resonate as to where he held and the windshield doesn't.
could you go back and check out the free couch please
Neato
Heritagie's might be wrong but cooler.
all Harley's are for short people. the heritage and ultra have the same wheel base. I like the heritage classic softail, but they suck if you are 6'6" and over.
I know you're post is old but what about a breakout? Perhaps a vrod, my best friend is 6'6 and he likes both.
There is no plural. My heritage. Your heritage. Our heritage.
Mark S You and I both like heritages? Lol
Shawns always bagging on windshields! Lol ride all over the country mostly year round and tell me you wouldnt want a windshield, grip guards, heated grips and crash bar with cover on it! Not everybody only rides in the summer on only nice sunny days! I like all your videos alot tho....
my 04 fatboy had cruise control
Did you say your six two? Lol
lol not in austalia they don't. you get to put your own mileage in
I don't think that was the bug man....I think it was the buggering man. Do not pick up the soap!😎
If you can afford it...
RAN A RED LIGHT AT 2:47.
To make it plural you would say "heritage bikes"
but bags come in handy for beers after ride eh
What? You can’t say sausages either. Heritages. Just have to slow down a bit.
For plural I would simply say Heritage bikes👍🏻
No different than sausages.
I love ❤️ my bike 07
I only put my windshield on, when goi on the highway. 🇺🇸😊🇺🇸
95 to a hundred + 😇🙏😇
It's like a butcher reviewing cosmetics. And that's why I love it!!
No windshield.No luggage.Just ride.
I want the Honda vallkery
me
Heritagegeges
Boo-tigiegiegiegiegieg... They say both g's. I just don't get it, they say both g's. DJT. 😆
No
Heritagetis probably...
windshields are for noobs dude, i hate them on a softail or roadking.
James unknown : for noobs? When you ride 20k a year summer and winter you appreciate a windshield. What in the hell makes it something for a noob? Real bikers don’t give a crap about how it looks, they just ride the crap out of the bike.
@Keith C windshields don’t help at all I prefer full face helmet
Most people RIDE 2 WHEELS , NOT DRIvE them!!! Hard to take u seriously bud!
