I bought a new ultra classic in 2013 and I was 29. All my buddies clowned me! But I could out ride them distance wise anyway lol. Then I dropped down to a 2016 softail deluxe and missed my fairing and radio so I went back up to a 2020 street glide. Love your channel bro! Keep living your dream 💪
Switch out the rear suspension for 13" Legend Revo A The stock on a Road/Street Glide sucks.
Hd Ryder.....you were 29.....not 92
@@cbwz1237 🤣 I'm about to be 38 in February so I guess it's time to start looking into a goldwing trike 😉
Started riding my dads 1970 Electra Glide when I was 17. That’s all I’ve ever rode. Love those Dressers.
That is one gorgeous bike! I’m not typically a “red” guy, but that is a really nice shade and the pin striping adds a ton.
I was one of those guys in my late thirties that said baggers were old man bikes. And I stuck by that opinion right up until I road my friends 1996 Ultra and after just 5 minutes of riding it I knew that I was going to buy one ASAP. A month later I bought a 2003 Anniversary Ultra. That was around 2007, 100,000 miles later I am still riding that bike and never felt the need to look for another bike. A few years later the Streetglide came out and the masses finally figured it out. Baggers rock. And you would be amazed at how much you can pack into that luggage system.
I've always been pretty interested in baggers. M
Would you recommend the optional leather/pleather bags?
@@silentxsails4098 if the bags are optional it's not a bagger.
@deplorably yours I owned an Electra-glide Classic for 10 years and loved it. . .but I'd never ride a begger!
@deplorably yours I know what you mean, my auto correct also changes my comments to what it thinks it should be.
Great videos 👍 also great that you have words of wisdom on your videos.
Pats tour pack "You can fit so many bananas in the bad boy!"
For the banana gobblers and eggplant enthusiasts!!
@deplorably yours Banana gobblers or Beernana gobblers..lol
Yea fer sure put the heavy crap (all the bananas) in the tour pack. Loose and rolling around is good too...
This shit is bananas.
@@jimmypopp2695 ĺ
I've been riding long enough that I don't even need a loud exhaust, someday I'll buy something like that.
I always enjoy your videos, and your humor! Keep them coming! Someday I will have another bike, and it will probably come from you
Loved it that's what I ride 1994 Electra Glide Classic. It's my truck when I'm not in my truck
I flew from Australia in 2018 with two mates and did Sturgis and everything else on the Ultra’s courtesy of Eaglerider in LA. Best time ever!........This really is the bike to see America on, hands down. We carried around 70lb of gear for the 4 weeks we were on the road, and we covered 6000 miles in that time. Super comfortable to ride ( l have a Roadking back home) and we had to deal with all for seasons on the ride........no problems at all. Sad to give it back at the end of an epic trip in your great country! Cheers.
I daily ride a 96 ultra. After being patched out in 2010 "now independent" i traded in my 06 sporty and got in the Sadle of my 96 ultra. It's road worn and gives fleas to new bikes parking beside me but.... It's comfy & has power
I really love your channel and appreciate your work! You actually helped me pick my bike here in Germany. But you really have to improve your slow speed turning :-)
Seeing you roll over grass every time hurts my feelings!
(Little joke, thank you for all your effort!)
Greets from Germany
Watched your entire series on Amazon Prime and had come drop a sub. Keep it up my man.
“Unplug the comm system” oh I lost it at that, well said. What a life hack.
Great video, keep up the good work.
Got the best excuse,my motorcycle was stolen yesterday,sad but true,yesterday came home to my motorcycle gone my neighbor “old lady” told me 2 thugs just put it in neutral and walked it away,so I love my cbr 600,but at least I get on and get to watch you thank you for everything you do,god has a plan for everything
Thank you for being so positive about HD. 👍👍👍 New subscriber!!!
As always, great review Sean. A very nice bike. I have a voyager and love it. A very similar bike.
New excuse:
I don't wanna ride today. It's super heavy and I don't have a whole lot of energy.
Just get it moving then physics takes care of the rest lol
You would be surprised how agile an Ultra really is. Yes it's heavy but only lifting it off the stand, after that it's not much different than riding a Softail or a road king. If you watch some Ride like a Pro videos you will see small woman throwing big baggers around like scooters and even getting them back up from being laid over.
another I cant afford one of those whines.
@@harleyhawk7959 Sarcasm, yo. Clearly, every day is a good day to ride for those that truly enjoy riding!
Tell your wife to stay home.
I have a 2019 Street Glide Special ... and I leave that fairing vent open all the time! I get way too much buffeting with the vent closed. I added a Memphis Shades 6.5" curved screen to it, it's perfect for me (5'8" tall).
I wish I had that Comm system in my house... Simply unplug
I've had the same ultra classic for 20 years. Dont want anything else.
Old mans bike? I’m 32 and would love to own an ultra classic like this
@john harris what's wrong with THAT
@john harris Spoken like somebody who either has never tried one or is jealous because he can't afford one. I know what you mean, but cut it out. Your argument sounds ridiculous.
legen diary, I bought my first Ultra Classic when I was 28. I bought another in 2018, you keep that dream, they are awesome bikes.
Yeah, old man's bike. I've taken my '17 Ultra to a 128 and getting 130HP and 145T that outruns most everything else on the road. Had it up to 163 mph with throttle left. Not quite an old man's bike anymore.
Old men have more wisdom, and often more money. So they don't have to compromise!
My Son gave me a 08 classic with 7,000 mi for Christmas this year. I Love it
I'm now in my late 30s but my very first brand new motorcycle was a 2004 Roadking Classic (so I was in my early twenties). this was back when Harley-Davidson was regularly renting motorcycles for 24-Hour periods and I rented everything in the lineup and had settled on a Super Glide until my buddy at the dealership nagged me enough to get me to rent a Roadking. I made it about 300 yards from the dealership did a u-turn and asked them to order me one in vivid black. Been loving baggers ever since!
I love you channel specially bikes and beards ! Like the word of wisdom. I'm kinda a PUNK but I believe. Keep it up and thanks brother. I ride a 2018 iron I love it but I except what it is . Some day ILL get a bike like this but ILL keep my iron. God bless brother.
I've ridden the Ultra Classic and owned a Road Glide and in a cross wind, the frame mounted fairing works better than the handlebar mounted fairing. I bought a 82 Goldwing in 85 and it had a frame mounted fairing, the new Ultra's are nice, they are just too heavy for some one 74.
My brother-in-law bought one of those, brand new, a couple years ago. Custom white paint job with very cool pinstriping. He decided to change out the tail pipes and drill out the catalytic converters, by himself. He wanted that old school roar. Unfortunately, once the catalytic converters was removed, he was never able to tune it properly. They are definitely complex machines. Eventually he bought a new set of the original pipes and put them on it.
I love the Milwaukee 8. I had the 107 on my 2017 Road King. I traded up to the Limited with the 114 in 2019 on my way home from Daytona Bike Week after test riding one at the track. In the 2 years I had my Road King, I averaged about 12K miles per year. In the 1 1/2 years since owning my Limited, I’ve averaged 20K miles per year. I just passed 31K last week (18 months). I can’t get enough. Before the Road King, I had a Heritage and probably averaged about 8-10K per year (2007-2017).
Always said id never buy a Harley. Test rode one, and its currently sitting in my garage. Awesome bike
That vent isn’t actually made to give you more air through the vent, but to reduce the buffeting by throwing the air up and essentially creating an invisible windshield. I have it with a short klockwerks windshield on my street glide and can feel a big difference when that vent is open.
Adding the triple tree wind deflector to this bike makes it even more awesome! Freedom Shields will sell you any height windshield you want and they are thicker than stock!
Helo from México! For u which is de better year for a Harley Davidson touring Bike? I love your Chanel!
I’ve been considering the new FLHT because I like that it’s stripped down to basics, but a used one of these could be the better choice. My fiancée would love the comfort, especially with heated seats.
Common issue with Harley is a lag in utilizing new tech on their bikes. The Milwaukee 8 is a perfect example. Other companies like Honda were going 4valve and water cooling on 2 cylinders (CX500), in the late 70's, proving the design is worthwhile. When did Harley go 4v? Waaaay later.
Don't get me wrong, Harley's are great bikes, but imagine how good they could have been if they had adopted full-water-cooling, Fuel injection, computer control, and 4v back in the 80's? They likely would have destroyed to competition.
Btw, LOVE that Full Dresser. Best Harley ever.
The problem is, Harley buyers don't want big changes, so they have to do little things here and there to improve them.
Great video once again!
Wife: chattering non-stop
Me thinking: I want more peace and quiet. Proceeds to unplug coms
my wife always falls asleep on the back of our U.C.
EITMS = engine idle temp management system - basically shuts off the rear cylinder to keep the bike from cooking the rider at a stop. Makes the bike idle rough but it does work.
just something else to go wrong
You can turn it off if you want to.
Hey Sean, you ever ride a early 80s Yamaha Maxim XJ1100? You should find one and do a test and compare to a modern equivalent. Keep up the good work dudes.
I wish our country (India) didn't impose heavy taxes on harley davidson bikes😖. Even Iron 883 ex-showroom starts at USD 12,500
Bruh, here in my country (Indonesia) Iron 883 starts from 27,500 usd. On the road price will be around 32,400 usd. My country has the worst taxes ever 😅
@@erikiniel21 jeez 😶
@Charles Szasz you're right man.
Great content. That's a great looking bike with fit and finish second to none but I love being able to push the button on my Victory and lower or raise the windshield as needed. And factory standard equipment heated his/her seat and heated grips and electric cruise control is really nice especially when you ride all seasons. Shame that stuff is optional on a $30,000. motorcycle. Ride safe! 🇺🇸👌
wait till little up and down motor turns into a toaster
Yea but Harley will fix your bike as a priority if you are on a road thrip and a dealership is always close by. I had a victory for 8 years and loved it too until my drive belt broke in Asheville NC and i had to rent a U haul and tow it 100 miles to the nearest dealer and that was when they where still in business. With Victory out of business now you are screwed if the bike breaks down. Also Victory has basically no resale value for this reason.
I wonder if that motor still burns right inner legs like the twin cam did in slow traffic in warm days? Thanks
I have two CVOs. One is a 2016 breakout and the other is a 2018 street glide. The only problem I’ve ever had with the CVO Breakout is it kills my back. After about two hours, I can’t wait to get off of it. But the bike is fast and loud and I love it. The street glide has a lot of upsides on the breakout like fairings and bags blah blah blah. But the nav sometimes has no idea where I am and will show me in the middle of a lake somewhere, the speakers in the bags sound like they’re blown, I’ve had them replaced twice, and they still buzz like hell with bass, and the Milwaukee 8 HATES to run cold. The twin cam 110 on my breakout can just fire up and go, but even in the heat of summer the 114 M8 needs to warm up for a good 5-10 minutes or it chokes on itself and stutters bad when you crank on the throttle.
I have a 2017 uktra limited that i bought back in April. I almost already put two thousand miles on it. I had a wide glide before. When that one got wrecked. I told myself. The next bike is going to be an ultra classic. Well, i waited a ten years. Then, i got myself a ultra limited. Planning on my first major road to Ohio in about a month. I can't wait.
This is the best of the best and that's why you see so many on the road. I used to hate them until I rode them, then I got it.
-same here, after a lifetime of other bikes.... I test rode one in 2012 and came hoome with it... then the Rushmore version came out in 14... went to see the real differences.... lol came home with that one... still riding it today... On occasion i see that georgeous Indian full dresser green and white with fringes.... and want that.. then I ride my ultra and think... WTH was I thinking lol...
I must agree. I have two Harleys now. My bar bike and this, my battleship!
Eitms is rear cylinder shutoff. When on, it will turn the rear cylinder into an air pump (no fuel) when the engine gets hot
yep....at idle
Hi Sean great channel great 🇦🇺 great motorcycle owned one before they're good bike🖐😭
The dash instrument's font reminds me of a GM dash from the 00s. Anyone else?
What the crap was that flashing green light all about?
Love cruise control didn't know I needed it until my 2017 Street Glide
My 96 Goldwing has that and much more! Harley is still in the dark ages.
That is cute since Harley was putting cruise control on bikes since 1989
i got a 94 with evo and i love it starts right up every time goes anywhere and everywhere i can ride all day on it and love it i put apehangers on mine took off the touring stuff when i got mine i got it off the guy who got it brand new two owners me and him it was fully stock
My 06 was like this. Been around now for a while
Have the 2014 version of this and we love it.
i'd like to see how they are getting those torque and HP numbers; what stage upgrades to those entail and for how much of course opening the door for warranty to be voided. The base M8 still is only 76 horsepower which is why you can't find HP data even on harley's website!!
All the screamin' eagle stage I Stage Ii Stage Iii and Stage IV are all covered under the factory warranty. And Stage IV is 117 cubic inches and well over 120hp at the rear tire. The stock M8 114 makes 90hp and around 119 foot lbs torque

Thought he meant for her butt ...
My wife said I needed saddlebags I said really ! Let's go for a ride got down the rode a bit and pulled over . I took my helmet off due to it was a warm day I asked her to hold my helmet then blast down the rode a bit more then pulled over to put my helmet back on . Thinking out loud like I usally do I said Im straight not having bags since I have a ole lady.....
What was the green flashing light on the instrument panel for?
Everyone hates a harley till they take a ride on one
Truest statement on here.
Then they hate it more. Totally true.
@@st_us Not true with myself and the people I know.
Then they ride an indian and never want to own a Harley again
@@joeschmo5246 You're not wrong
Wow. You have me thinking. Used to be a purist but then again there's something to be said for treating yourself and enjoying the ride. For getting the deluxe treatment.
Heated grips and seats are standard on a Roadmaster. 😎
The vent is suppose to be open on the highway to reduce buffeting
No way I love Jimmy Buffet!!
Stepped on a pop top
@@jimmypopp2695 lol
@@daddski1 Had to do it...LMFAO
The vent isn't really "supposed to" anything. It reduces buffeting, sometimes at higher speeds, sometimes it doesn't. What I'm saying is, the vent isn't mandatory at highway speeds. I will say it does work as advertised when it is needed. Had my Ultra Classic for a tad over two years and this is why I've found with the vent. If you change your windshield that changes things. Just have to play around with it.
Bro I tried to go on your website and look for a bike but I didn’t see any sport bikes is website only for cruisers?
I'm a minimalist, plus my 98 fxdwg is completely custom and built. For me, simple is better
Brandon K on my second fxdwg, both ‘07s. The first bought new st pats day n 07 and had it almost 10 years. Unfortunately it took the brunt of a brick mailbox. Maybe fortunately....lol.landed me in the hospital for a week and outa work for about half a year. Took 2 years to find that bike. I was specifically looking for blue. The day insurance picked up the totaled one on a Friday handing me a check. Got online googled blue wide glide, no year and found another blue one with same mileage, same year in Branson,MO. Called and told them I’d be there first thing sat morning then called my mechanic (local Indy shop proprietor) and he offered to split the driving and check it out. Was there 1 1/2 before the shop opened. Just got missed by a tornado in KS on the way. My mechanic mentioned on the way, the way it all went down, it was karma to find it. So I of course call her Karma. Lol. Anyway, short story long, I dig Wide Glides.....
@@christoperdevore3617 well damn lol. That's some challenging experiences and dedication lol. At least you didnt get jacked up to bad and you're still here. I've almost hit 1 or 2 of those, they were literally in the road, ( f**king city). That's awesome though that you found another one. I like the big twin on a smaller frame and a wide front end
Brandon K wasn’t to bad considering. Shattered rib cage, busted shoulder and mild head trauma. Lol. It was, after all a brick mailbox.😂🤣 anyway, yeah absolutely the minimalist route is the way to go. Pipes, backrest and forward controls to accommodate my 36” inseam is all I roll. Peace out and don’t ride faster’n ya guardian angel can fly.
Hi I am looking at changing my speedometer from analog to digital by any chance do you know if Motorcycle Digital Odometer Speedometer 3-Wire Sensor Cable Assembly would work for it
I'm leaving my M8 stock. Harleys are heirloom bikes because they last a long time. Yeah, they're expensive, but the highest mileage bikes on Ebay are Harleys. 100k mile Harleys aren't rare. I believe Sean has one.
I guess you never seen high mileage bmw’s. Keep drinking the orange cool aid. Used harleys are cheap and plentiful
The next owner will thank you.
@@frankbutaric3565 BMWs don't appeal to me. Sorry that my post hurt your feelings.
@@MyDyerMaker Get over yourself.
Your post hurt nobody's feelings, it simply didn't make sense.
Kawasaki Concours 1000s out there with over 200k of trouble free riding with the engines never being opened up. It's all on C.O.G. 100k just broken in.
No Harley is even close in reliability.
I have a 2007 ultra classic and I couldn't be happier. Definitely a comfortable ride.
Bought a 2017 Ultra Classic in late May of 2018 from the showroom floor. 25K, a road trip from Nor-Cal to Central Illinois, not a hitch. The best bike I've ever owned and I have zero intentions of ever trading it off.
I'll be like Willy the Wimp, the bike and I can go into the great blue yonder together
I have a 2019 and it spoiled me rotten. I took the windshield off and the slipons. The bike now sounds great and keeps the wind in my face. Smooth ride. I'd recommend this bike to everyone. It is heavy but I'm 5'7 120 lbs. N I handle it just fine.
*slaps trunk* "You can fit SO many bananas in this bad boy!"
I have a 2018 looks identical to that and I always ride it as much as I can I love my ultra...plus I'm 30 and it's beyond my favorite bike
I like the way Sean stopped the video right after he passed the cop doing speed checks... might there be more to the story?
First bike I ever rode. Think I was 14? Yeah, I was on the back but still. I've been hooked ever since
I have the 2014 version of that bike same color absolutely love it
What about when it’s too hot? It was 119 in Phoenix yesterday. No way in hell im riding in an oven. Addressed everything except for when it’s sickening hot out.
If could afford to, and if it were possible during the covid age, I would fly from my home in western australia to Pennsylvania and buy that bike, thats how well you sold it! 😂 best wishes mate!
@vic vapor Where? In the middle of the Pacific ocean? That would be hilarious to do a point of sale in the middle of the largest ocean.
Ive been riding for 15 years. Im still waiting for the time to come when cruise control is awesome. I think I just live in a shitty state though. Maybe when I retire I can move and enjoy some cruise control. Till then, throttle and brake lights.
When will you review a Star Venture Tour Cruiser or Eluder?
Why does it look like you have a 100 bikes but I go on your website and it only shows like 15?
I’m 32 and own a UC 103. I love it. The ride is amazing, and 100% different than my evo fat boy lol.
90,000 on my O5 ultra classic. never gave 500 or 700 mile days a thought except for how big my smile was.😀. two up with my wife, she got a saddlebag, I got one shared the trunk and a tie down bag on top. had a big bore kit installed right after I bought it. with true duel rhineharts and ported heads. Now it's getting bored and stroked S&S geared 510's,S&S balanced flywheel. bigger valve springs. then another 90,000 or more.
12.15 2 lights on!!! What are they? TPSM- tire pressure monitor system.
Sean! Review the yamaha fz8 you guys have right now!!!
I'd like to see a review about a Janus 250.
6 gallon fuel tank. It's an electra glide, they just call them ultra classic (air/oil cooled) and ultra limited which has twin cooling (radiators in lowers for the heads). I have a 2017 vivd black ultra classic. The windshield vent reduces buffeting when open. If you close it, you will get more buffeting as the air rolls over the windshield. That's the primary purpose of the vent - not for cooling. I also wear a full-face helmet. The lowers have vents, but the fairing also has adjustable "wings", for lack of a better term, to direct air onto your torso. Love it - great bike. That red is my favorite color combo, but a new black one with an upgraded infotainment system was available for a killer deal, so that's what I bought. I use my cruise control a lot and it works great. The EITMS is the engine idle temperature management system. When you are idling and the temperature hits a certain value, it will shut down the rear cylinder to help reduce heat. You can turn that feature off by rolling the throttle forward and holding it there a couple of seconds. I leave mine on - it turns the rear cylinder back on as soon as you twist the throttle. If all the Harley hater "experts", or anyone for that matter, would ride one of the Milwaukee 8 touring bikes, I think they would be really impressed with them.
Hey Shawn, I am looking to purchase a 2002 Harley softail , with 22,000 miles on it. It has Vance and hines FULL exhaust system, Real nice aftermarket spoke wheels. With bigger spokes , aftermarket bars, custom front fender, and LOTS of chrome additions to it. IS 10,900 a decent deal for this Bike? I mean its smokin CLEAN. IT was a fire fighter edition, its all black now. But I just wanted to ask your opinion.. and What I should look for before purchasing.
Congrats to HD for finally arriving in the 21st century
@john harris you mean HD buyers want old technology, failing and leaking motors, overpriced motorcycles, parts and merch and some serious dad energy
They aren't quite there yet! Where's the perma clutch? Automatic valve adjustment? Center stand? Reverse? On the go air ride adjustment? All features that my 96 Goldwing has......
@@keithchrysler3732 the Goldwing has always been ahead of the curb only real competition to it are the BMW but even then
I own a 2019 Ultra Limited with the 114 cu engine.I ride just about everyday, and with trips put on 15,000- 18,000 miles per year. It’s a great bike. But it doesn’t have most “ergonomic “ seating position, especially for rides over 2 hrs. , that award goes to the K1600 bikes
This makes me wanna put a 107 in my Twin Cam 103 and a 67 Shovelhead in my 53 Panhead
True... The only thing missing is a 1/4 mile time
Good job team!!!
What are the green flashing icons trying to tell you?
cruise control
I'm old enough to need one but in denial enough to prefer my Dyna .
Maybe when I hit 65 in half a decade I'll get the comfortable option
get a roadking built before 2016
My first harley 1982 FLH for my 22nd birthday, still own it. Had nothing but a full dressed harley since. I knew back in the day I was gonna go harley. Rode friends sporty and low ride, then one of my older brother's buddy let me take his "80 Electra glide for a ride. That sealed the deal right there.
I have year 2017 FLHTK Electra Glide Ultra Limited and same color. Best bike I've ever own!!
There are still two models, the Classic, 107ci and the Limited, 114 ci.

Yup those are great bikes! I wonder if the Milwaukee 8 would yet exist had the 4 valve Victory 106 nit happened? Who knows . Either way , great job Harley!
I am 30 years old and own a 18 ultra limited. It does anything you want. Best part, it holds two full face helmets in the rear trunk
Sooooo Nice!! 👍🏻
Absolutely beautiful!
This is what you get if you get a car designer to design a motorcycle. Let's put everything on it to try and make it into a car.
The funniest thing ever a vent to let air through the device designed to prevent air hitting you. Priceless.
