The time has come to sell my beloved Harley-Davidson Softail Standard, or as I like to call it, Street Bob Classic. This 2021 model has been taken good care of, I've owned it since new and done just under 5000 miles on it. It's about to have its second service and then it's ready to go to its new owner.
If you're Intersted in buying this bike then send us a DM on instagram, I'm asking £10,995 for it which is very reasonable especially as it's had a stage 1 and vance and Hines pipes fitted.
What do you think I have bought as my next bike??

I'm Guessing Moto Guzzi..😂 Harley is a great price and I'm sure it will sell quickly!
I was thinking the same as you a Moto Guzzi, but can you customise it to the degree you can a Royal Enfield.
I agree with you and John Martin.
Yep me thinks too! 😊
Surely a V7 of some sort. He was smitten by that ‘guzzi!
@Malibu.Garage It's heritage as a well built classic Italian machine that proves that Italian machines are not over-tuned and overpriced while being over complex and un-reliable has earned it a honoured place in the hearts of many! In my opinion.
So V7 Special Darcy 😎 look forward dude
Agree that’s one of the best looking Harleys, classic
Have owned 5 Harleys over the last 25 years . As an American they very common place have enjoyed all and they have been reliable, have toured @150,000 miles on them. Good times.
I have my eye on the rocket three 😊
Once a Guzzi man always a Guzzi man. You may sell your Guzzi in the future but you will always go back to the brand. There's really something special about them. I think you understand it now.
Guzzista per sempre! 😁
Not after the disgusting way they treated customers who bought the early 8-valve Grisos with the chocolate cams. Cost me a fortune, that did. I'll never touch anything Piaggio again!
@@gzk6nk hey mate, sorry to hear that, a mate's dad had the same experience, but he eventually got convinced again after riding my V85. He also told me stories about shitty customer service, bad electronics. Well...all I can say, 8 years ago I started with a V7 now I'm on a V85 had no problems whatsoever. Piaggio definitly upped their game in the last 10 years. One thing I do agree on: getting a good dealer/mechanic is worth gold. A good day and weekend to you Sir ✌
@@gzk6nk x2 on that 1.^
The other reason I'd not have another is, dealers know at trade in time, may sit on showroom floor for while.
So most offered me either very low px price or, bluntly said wouldn't really want it.
I found the exact same scenario with my 5 year old ducati multistrada, and diavel.
Now, I just wouldn't buy into any of the 3 brands.
Dead on I sold my V7 and I'm wanting another one now. What was I thinking!?!??!
I have a 2016 Moto Guzzi Eldorado that i think you would love. The problem with the oil air cooled Guzzi's is taller riders legs rub the cylinders. The Newer Compact water cooled Guzzi's have more leg room as the design of the engine moved forward allowing more leg room. What i love about Guzzi's is they are easy to work on with the exception of changing out the clutch. You have to gut the bike in half to get to it. The valves are the lock and screw type. Nothing to take off except the valve covers.
I’m really looking forward to the big reveal!
As an owner of a 2017 V7III Racer I’m hoping you’re getting a Guzzi V7 Special. Upgrades could include an Agostini or Mistral aftermarket exhaust, DNA air filter, ECU re-map, Stadium bar end mirrors, etc.
And I would also love to see a Griso 1200 8v on the channel someday as well!
Guzzi V7 Special I reckon. And why not they are brilliant.
I have a 2012 Nightster (its a Battle of the Kings entrant) my mum bought it for me in 2013. Every time I see a nice bike and I want to buy it, my wife says "Sell your Harley!" She knows I will Never sell my Harley!
Softail standard is my favourite cruiser ❤
The Harley is a beauty. For me, selling a bike is counter-intuitive, other bikes may be better, but this one is mine. But you are a young man, you have to try living with other bikes, so I understand. Every man has his own way, I would keep the Harley, would learn how to maintain and repair it, keeping it as long as I live.
Exactly.
I would agree with this, the opportunity of riding many bikes as as opposed to owning just one, a Harley would be my choice, when you hear one in the distance you try to identify which one it is, now you are going to wonder if it was yours
This exactly. I would never sell my Harley.
No more Harley since 35 years. Now im happy with my new Guzzi V7 850!😊
It’s got to be a Royal Enfield perhaps a Shotgun? Good luck with selling the Harley.
Everyone thinks it's going to be the V7, but Mr. Darcy LOVES that bike just the way it is! He said he's getting a bike that's not quite perfect. Mr. Darcy didn't like the Triumphs just the way they were - he had a few things he'd change about them. I bet he's going for the T120.
I’ve had 2 T120s. Admittedly you can do a lot to them. I think Royal Enfields are the go 2 for mods and they certainly enhance a you-tube channel as in views and subs. Unlikely it’s the single banger Goldstar. I’m hanging out to know. The excitement builds.
@@johnmartin7158 Problem being, Royal Enfield is still not viewed favorably (overall) in North America. The brand is growing, but it's still very niche. Now that I think of it, they'd have the same problem with Moto Guzzi - it practically doesn't exist in North America. Triumph, BMW, and Ducati are the Big Three European bikes in North America.
Im guessing the Guzzi v7 special in blue and silver, the way you talked about it, is the way you talk about something you really want, you havent expressed the same level of entusiasme about Any other bike you reviewed.
The blue V7 special definitely was a looker and i saw that spark in your eyes with it... I'm curious!
Modern classic ! Heard you say the Kawasaki W800 was the most beautiful bike you ever saw....but I don't know what you could customize on it, it's already perfect!
They are a beautiful looking bike but very small with an acute knee bend making the riding position cramped for taller riders..Shame because it's a fabulous looking package otherwise..If it just had the roomy feel of a Bonneville!!
Ol Man been watching Magnum PI reruns again😅
You both seemed so beguiled by the beauty of the new BMW 1300GS it must surely be the one!
Good price for the Harley. Reckon it will sell soon. Think replacement will be an RE custom scrambler in time. Look forward to the reveal. 👍
Well, I've been here for all the Guzzi reviews... the V7 special made you smile multiple times... It was one of the first video's I heared some doubt in your voice about keeping the Harley.....So I'm guessing a Guzzi
I think a Super meteor 650 (or Interceptor)
You can do large amount of customisation with those 2. But I recall Darcy talking about his affection for the V7 on 3 or 4 occasions on his uploads.
Harley is way better than any "modern classic." I have a Street triple 765, I like a lot of bikes. You're changing an iconic bike that will get better with age for a generic bike than is a dime a dozen.
Life of a youtuber I guess...have fun
To be fair, he did say that he could not get the bike out of his head, so there is some desire behind this purchase. Bikes with the character of the one that Darcy is choosing would not seem to be two a penny in his mind.
The ultimate bike for life is a Kawa Z1 900RS !!!
☆☆☆☆☆ ANSWER!
The Best definitely is the z900rs.👌
It’s just a Z900 in a frock though. Hardly ‘for life’.
@@nockianlifter661 I get that, we all have different tastes.
Depends on what you would call a long term keeper though.
@@Flyingscotsman3 I’ve had one friend who has owned a scruffy 400/4 since he bought it used back in the late 1970s. Had another who owned an XJ650 since they first came out early 82 I think, but eventually he killed it by entering an off road hill climb in Spain sometime in mid 2K trying to win some prize money (at least I think that what he did-he’s a TRF group leader so if I get the chance I’ll have to ask him again). I don’t think I’ve owned a bike longer than about 5 years, so I’m not a great example of bike loyalty 😂
I would snap that up in the blink of an eye but I won't be in the UK until September 😢. Also, I am not sure if I could carry it on the back of the Motorhome I just bought. Darcy, I hope you don't regret your decision young fellow. I have two Harely's at home in Australia and I have been travelling since November. I miss those bikes every day.
Honda Cub 125 definitely the way to go. Reckon you should both get one and do the NC500.
Good looking bike quintessential Harley-Davidson, just 2 of my small issues with it is the headlight is too small and I hate air cleaner covers that are black, chrome or silver color is my favorite. As long as you maintain it properly a harley maintains value well
My guess is a Triumph speed twin .
Moto Guzzi V7 Special is absolutely what you’re about to buy!! 😆
I also think moto guzie least you will get a decent price for harley I'm stuck with r18 can't give it away anyway can't wait to see what you get
I mean it is open secret 😂😂😂
Almost everyone knows you like the V7. Good one mate
I used to be a medium. Lots of beer has made me a large. I'm staring into a crystal pint glass as I type. I see a vision. I can see two cylinders. I can see two cylinders arranged at an angle. I can't quite make out the angle. Is it 90 degrees? Or is it 360 degrees? I can't quite see it. I'm sensing something about screw and locknut valve adjustment. Something about an old worldy way of valve operation? What can this mean? I can hear a mechanical sound coming from the valve covers. There's also something about the gears in my glass. I hear a clunk. Yes, it's a very positive clunk. There's a rocking motion as I stare into my pint and imagine twisting the throttle. No, I think that's just character. What is that? There's something about the final drive. I can't make it out. It's too quiet, and everything to the rear of the bike is clean and oil free. Very strange. I haven't seen this too often in recent years. The vision is starting to fade, now. I'm getting a harmonious aural sensation from a pipe organ or something. No, it's clearer. They're after market pipes. I know that sound. It's an old sound. It's getting louder... wop wop wop wop wop.
You're not getting a CT 125, are you.
A medium? Can you contact my dead mum for me?
@@ostevoostevo1592 Probably not your mum, but if you forward me your sister's phone number I can try and give her a call. Anything in particular that you want me to ask?
🤣
@@ostevoostevo1592I can, £20
@@ostevoostevo1592 Not much chance of that, but if your sister's single, I'm happy to give her a call. Is there anything in particular you would like me to ask her?
This past weekend, I dropped off my bike for routine service. On the showroom floor was a Softail Standard which was identical to the one Darcy is selling (except all stock, of course). So somebody out there looking for a new Standard is going to get a good deal if they buy Darcy's '21 model.
If the plan is to customize I don’t see it being Guzzi.
It must be a Guzzi V7 Special Edition with the two clocks innit...... 😊😊👍👍.
A slight mod on the rear end and a single springed seat would do it for me which you could always reverse but on the other hand a triumph bobber maybe calling? Its a nice dilema 🍻
the V7 Special wheels with spokes) is a most beautiful bike today, and it seems that you were very impressed in his test
That's a great Harley 😊
I’m thinking triump bobber or Indian.
Just wanted to thank you both for your review of the Honda rebel 500, I had one for a week now and love it. Really easy transition from a 125 and all the power I need at this stage. Off for a solo ride to Wiltshire later and a group ride up the wye valley tomorrow. Should’ve done this years ago.😎👍🏻🍻
Greetings from the USA. You just need a bigger garage. (the way you say it is funny to me) Sad to see you selling the FXST. You're the reason I have mine.
I would put my bet on Royal Enfield most probably Shotgun
Love that bike. Would have been interested except I actually just bought one, ironically, in part inspired by this channel 😂🎉
I have a 2009 Softail Custom that I will never part with it. But, I also have a Moto Guzzi V7III Carbon Dark that I have customized a lot.
I’m guessing V7. Hope it’s a Special otherwise the dials are awful.
My 1st thought would be the Moto Guzzi V7, but then you said you would customise, plus I think you would like a bigger engine so I think the Triumph Bobber or Speedmaster stealth.
could be even the LRS.
I’m going with Bonneville Speedmaster…. 😮😅
My guess: Moto Guzzi V7. Great choice and a step up.
Royal enfield contental gt, easily customisable and good value. Is the kind of bike you wouldn't feel bad customising it👍
We all ken he is as we say working his ticket. The guzzi.
I think it's time for a BSA!!!
As Harleys go....yours is as cool as you can get, maybe you can keep it? Right now l am seeing good bikes stick a while waiting for sale. Looking forward to seeing the new bike. I'm in Jerez right now, been here 6 weeks, hope to be here permanently next spring and if l am l'll buy a Guzzi V7. 😉
That harley softail looks great, you all do a great job with your camera positioning to really show the bike off good. And also you all always picl pretty spots too to compliment the bikes. Keep it up cant wait to see your new bike. I would guess the moto guzzi v7. It did the same thing to me first time i rode one. There is no bike that feels like a guzzi. Truly special machines and imo a great forever bike upu can always go back to and enjoy.
Honda cb1300 😉 . BTW it is a mistake selling it. You will realise is years from now. Good thing is, as a CZcams channel, you will get great price on your new bike. Good Luck. Good Luck with Triumph 😉
Great looking bike. Nice price intrigued as to what your getting I’m thinking something Italian 🇮🇹
V7 Guzzi with the 850 cc motor, what a peach.
V7 nice.. Good choice.
Very crafty,,, using the previous vid to throw us all off the scent….
BMW R 1300 GS.
Guzzi would be a great choice 👍🤞
I have a feeling this is going to be a RE Shotgun or Super Meteor which is going to be amazing!
Every subscriber knows, it’s gonna be the V7 Special 😁 love the Softail though, probably the best looking Harley in their current lineup, together with the Street Bob.
Me too guesses the next one will be a Guzzi. 😁
here comes that Guzzi. I'v not seen many of those done out so that would be interesting
I automatically thought V7 but I'm not sure now you said about customising it. 🤔 RE Shotgun, Triumph Speed 900?
Before you buy the V7 Guzzi, test out the Guzzi V85 TT and do a darn video on it ! Or did I miss that one ? Still loving your channel, actually I like it more now. Good for you to take the old man out for a meal and socialization ! 😎
Is the RE t-shirt a clue? 😆
Has to be a Honda fireblade RR-R that’s a modern classic 😛
Guessing the Guzzi, - or an 'Arlen Ness' Grom 'Velocity' in a sun-shedding Fushsia & metal-flake pearl? : )
I'm expecting a Guzzi V7.
T120 or more likely Speed Twin, well proven cheap to run and a hoot. Many saying V7 but fewer Guzzi dealers so perhaps not V7.
Great video Darcy and wonderful news. I think it will be the Moto Guzzi V7 Special. If it is I think it's an excellent choice, enjoy.
I'm a Guzzi owner. Think twice about buying one. I've been waiting over 9 months for a body panel. This poor service for a model that is in production. I'm thinking about selling it for this reason.
Moto Guzzi V7 Special. Got the V7 Special Edition as tested by you. Love it
Great to hear 👍🏼
Triumph bobber/speedmaster
Next week I'll be welcoming you to the Guzzi family 😂 But you won't be getting the Corsa, like I did, since it's factory customised already, but probably a Special Edition with the louder pipes. Or, you get the cheapest possible standard version for customising.
Motoguzzi v7. So good I just bought one.
Once you ride a Guzzi it gets under your skin.
I reckon you're changing it for a bike with a correctly orientated V twin engine.
Excellent content
V7 stone special. Maybe the TEN anniversary
I’m guessing a Kawasaki Z900RS?, I’ve got one which I bought new in 2019, it’s now done 27k miles, it’s a keeper 😎
So well, it’s set in “Stone” then! 😂
And is my choice in October when my funds are available…..
If you're getting a V7, then you could do a hell of a lot worse! I look forward to seeing the new wheels. The Softail Standard is a very cool bike, so you'll probably sell it quickly.
Let it be the Commando!
My guess that the next bike will be a Royal Enfield Shotgun or a Triumph Bonneville T100.
Maybe a speed twin 1200?!
BSA 650 Goldy... I recon
If you dont mind riding a metric cruiser (unthinkable to some) the latest suzuki m109 is a total blinder.
Dont think those are for sale in Europe
@@Nifilheimurthey are, though think Suzuki discontinued them.
I had a blue/black 1 a 2016 model, here in uk the M109r is a Suzuki M1800R.
@@Flyingscotsman3 Yeah ive seen some older M1800´s here in Norway but nothing last few years and looking at Suzuki´s Uk site i didnt find any cruisers at all.
I think it's gonna be the 650 twins from RE
GUZZI V7 or W800
Best decision Darcy....❤
Modern classic's much more suit ya mate.
Glwys mate.🏍🍻🤙
Fabulous bike but it's always exciting getting a new bike.
Looking forward to seeing your new bike 👍🏼
Coming soon!
i'd get one of those shirts the ol man is wearing
Hoping for a Guzzi, guessing a Triumph.
I reckon it should be a mk1 guzzi le mans. But i think it might be a more modern take on one 👍
there’s probably two options i can see you purchasing. The Moto Guzzi, or perhaps another Harley hahaha. But thinking within a certain price range, its gotta be that V7 Special. I know for sure there are other bikes youve expressed love for tenfold but they are in a very high price bracket. so unless you’re splashing out some serious cash (would love if that youtube reveue allowed for you and your dad to get some hahaha :D), gotta be something similar to the V7? second hand triumph or a new enfield?
Esta hermosa esa moto saludos ❤
Hope you enjoy your new bike, RE Shotgun!!!
😎😎😎😎😎
I am selling my Iron 883 and switching to Triumph Thruxton RS Final Edition - because like you said, I had more time to ride more bikes and see enything else instead blindly belive in HD :) so I vote for Triumph!
Moto Guzzi V7 Special, no doubt about it
Citing that you are a modern classic man, I think you gave away that it’s going to be the Guzzi.
