Nothing short of an amazing video! Great opening with the different camera angles and speeds. Most reviewers just talk about the great things, but you brought to light a number of items you didn't like as well, which is quite helpful.
I chuckled a little bit at the fact you are just riding through the store casually lol. I really dig your in-depth reviews man. You earned a sub. I went to longhorn and got my 883 back in 2017. I’m going to try to get the new Electra glide standard next. Moving on up to the bagger world.
Well covered, I enjoyed your methodical review. You know you stuff and got right under the skin of this machine’s pros & cons. Frightened the crap out of me each time you let go of the handle bars.
enjoyed the test ride/review immensely. learned a couple things about the RG that no other video review has mentioned. looking forward to your other test rides/reviews and i'll be checking out the past videos. subscribed.
Great video! I do love the Road Glide! I'm on my second one a 2020 RGS traded my 2015 in on it. And the new infotainment system was definitely part of the reason!
Great review of the 21 RGS. I traded my Street Glide for a '16 RGS, the RG is the best highway bike. Never going back to a batwing fairing. You look cool on this bike.
Nice handling in shop that feather clutch turn arpund.bike and column. Nice bike. The positioning of the vet a was good I could get a deal formhow.large thenfaring is. I always thought it was dead weight on the bikes, I like the look though. In the past I've sat on a few and have a 2012 sportster. The bike is a damn tank. Snow, ice roads, heavy downpours, blistering heat. The only catch it has is freezing mornings. Can't skip a night on trickle charge or you get back till the bike warms. Ate these as reliable and.it almost seems like the frames are about equal. Yes larger everything else but the.bikes look same size.
This bike is Bad@azz, 'specially in that color! My Dream Bike. Dude, you know your Shiznit. HD stepped it up with the new Motors, Brake-tech, & Styling! Blacked-out? Chromed-Out? It's All Good, in this new Era of Power! Subbed!
Awesome video! Love how you can ride and countersteer with your "hips" I am thinking of going to RGS from my SGS. Hmmmmm Great video. Chick on a RG......... LOL I can "look" and be cool!!!
Excellent, honest, in-depth review. The dealer ride was sick. I would like you to do a review like this on the Street Glide Special. I hear 👂🏾 you one the 30% more beam pattern but I have concluded every bike should have an adaptive light. Subscribed. 2020 Fat Boy
I like the details, I heard things in this video no one else has said. I like the camera placement on the ride and the audio while riding was great. I would like to see you on the Road King Standard and the Street Glide
I watched another video you did and thought you were in Texas Harley in Bedford. I watched this video and seen the cycle shop where the HD dealer used to be Adam Smith Harley. Always had good experiences here. Definitely like the RG.
Those low speed maneuver skills got a sub from me buddy! First time I've seen a video from you and I'm impressed! I got to know what jacket are you wearing in this video?
Love this video you have to show us the view from the carpet from the driver seat and also maybe you could review the 2021 Harley Davison trikes cause I’d love to see those not too many people Review them I’d love to see them get a review for each of them a full review not just a 565 minute review not just a five minute give you a full review and ride on each of them
Enjoyed your review, I've been eyeballing a 2021RGS color and chrome myself. Have always had a love it/hate it thing for the RG...LOL! I do keep buying them in between though!
@@thehdguy378 Recently sold my 2019 FLHT. Video on my channel if interested. I'm thinking chrome pkg with the red/black two tone and matching chopped tour pack. Snake Venom is different but it just don't pop for me. In fact most colors this year are boring. Charred Crimson (CVO Trike) should be a color choice across the board as well.
great video and liked the demo on the RDS. you touched on the chrome special but not in detail why you liked it. is the blacked out look kind of beat after so long? I got a '19 King and the brakes suck! thinking about trading it in for that '21 Glide
I think black and chrome are both equally difficult to maintain. Black does fade on the heads. It’s inevitable if you ride long distances. I guess chrome actually has the advantage there. The downside to chrome is how often you’ll want to clean it. If you’re OCD the smudges will drive you crazy.
Really liked this video ... I would love you to go into more detail about steering with a head Turn ... or perhaps I missed the point on that part of the video ... intrigued ...
Where at in Texas is your dealership? Great review! I like your little details in some of the things, like cable vs hydra clutch etc. I'm going to get a RGS one of these days. Just seems like a sweet ride.
RG all day, every day. I gotta wonder about that cable clutch being asked for by customers. Sounds more like a supply chain issue due to pandemic. I have a feeling that hydraulic clutch will return. It’s where we’re at in motorcycling. Especially on premium priced bikes. Going forward not backward.
Awesome review, your camera angle made a huge difference from all of the other videos out there. Your knowledge is right on and I really appreciate that you don't seem to be trying to BS people. What kind of setup did you use for your video? I would really like to get me a setup like that for my rides, it would be 100% better than just attaching my GoPro to the bars and get super shaky video.
@@thehdguy378 I did notice the suction cup on the windshield in the video right at 8:52. The bike leans but the shot stays level, are you saying that there was no gimble or anything else other than the GoPro software that made that awesome shot?
You got it! I’ve got a couple requests ahead of this one so it’ll be a few weeks but you have my word I’ll do it! I also ordered a special piece of equipment that’ll make the videos a little better. This should be the first video I showcase it in🤙 thanks for watching! Please subscribe if you haven’t already!
Thanks for the review!! Awesome! Love the color. Man you can ride! How did you feel the clutch pull with the cable? About the same, lighter or heavier than the hydraulic clutch? Cheers!
Thanks! I appreciate the feedback! The clutch feels about the same. Definitely more mechanical feeling. Not quite as smooth as the hydraulic clutch. I can ride either and not have an issue.
Cool video. Very helpful. The handlebars look creepy. Are they comfotable? I am 6.3 and on my 2015 Road King Classic and i ride a 14" ape. Fits good. Greetings
And you cant put bars on the new bikes yet (because of the new clutch). Also nobody makes tuners if you have RDRS. some downfalls to the new bikes. They dont have a flush mount fuel cap yet either
The center gas filler has an overflow tube that feeds to the ground. Does the new location have one or does it just run down the tank and engine? We can't be perfect at each fill.
Oh boy more gadgets!!! Best Harley I every had was a 71 I built. No nothin but bike. Now I've got a roadking and I hate the abs and linked breaks.i tried to buy a stripped down bbn bike but got this shit insted. This is why I'll never bond with this bike. My last bike was a Kawasaki and getting off it and going to the roadking... I feel like I made a mistake. Just because I've always been a Harley guy doesn't mean I cant grow as a person.
@@thehdguy378 first only the left side of the front break engages when using only the back break and it's to grippy. It's not suppose to do it in low speed maneuvers however when I do a u turn in wet gravel or grass it sure as shit is engaged.. the other thing try doing a power slide????? I dont want the bike to ride me I want to ride the bike. Engineers dont ride the way I would if my hands weren't tried because of them. All this lean angle traction controll ...on a bike with a 32° lean angle you got to be kidding me. Riding a bike is supposed to be a little dangerous and fun not a sterile wet hand shake. In between my Harleys I've had a h2 r1 and I know that's not a nitch that a Harley is going to fill but it shouldn't dampen its ability. Regulation....
Agreed. I’ve said multiple times in my videos how I dislike the new traction control. It’s more a hindrance than an assist. On the Livewire though, it’s flawless. It definitely takes rider skill out of the equation. Same thing with ABS in some situations. Just not the situations that Harleys are designed for. Good points!
@@thehdguy378 I’m a chrome guy all the way. The ONLY reason I like something blacked out is so I don’t have to polish it. But, polish I do because my bikes have the chrome finish. I have thought about getting a second bike and it being blacked out so I can ride it anywhere anytime without polishing. Then, have my current bike to take to the “special rides”.
Not a bad idea. Just get something completely different than what you have now. Otherwise you’ll favor one over the other for small differences and you’ll end up just selling one because you don’t ride it. I’ve gone down this road before! I do sell these things so if you’re ever in the market please reach out to me. I can help with shipping nationwide! Thanks.
If history repeats itself we will see a new version of the Road Glide in 2030. 1980-1996 = FLT (16 years) 1998-2013 = 1st Gen. FLTR (15 years) 2015-2030 2nd Gen. (15 years)
Biggest complaint I’ve gotten so far is the girls voice in the song is annoying. Noted: if you guys have any suggestions on uncopywritten music I’m all ears. It’s difficult to find good music!
Hopefully people watching this already know how to ride and don’t need a lesson on riding and especially don’t need to see you riding hands free.. that equals sudden death... does it block wind that fairing?
If you’re concerned with safety maybe stick to a cage. I do not recommend anyone try taking your hands off of the bars. If you do, you know the risks. If you’re nervous about me doing it, find another channel. Yes the fairing blocks wind like a champ. Admittedly the only bikes that are as effective at blocking wind are the Goldwing and the K1600. Haven’t ridden many other bikes that are as good at contouring wind around you. I definitely I rely recommend a test ride at your local dealer.
Ok..lol...you lost me at "the FIRST thing you will notice is how cool you look on this thing"...I used to have one...and the comments ranged from "nerdy-glide" to "odd" so I guess, if YOU think you look cool on it, that''s all that matters...never buy a bike 'cause you think others might think you are looking' cool on it ;-)
My 2020 RGS did the same. It was a faulty abs module that wouldn't hold pressure when hold assist was activated. My dealer brought in a guy from Milwaukee HD HQ to diagnose and fix it. It should hold 4-5 minutes as long as it's in gear, clutch pulled in and you make no other inputs to controls.
Great info! Thx much. If a simple thing that's easy to overlook is a symptom of a bigger problem (faulty ABS) then discovering is a win! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dkipopVBLpw.html
All stock! They sound pretty tame on the floor, but when you’re riding they aren’t too bad. I’d still rather have something a lot little louder though.
As far as I know the only thing you can turn off is traction control. You do this by holding down the TC button on the left switch housing for 3 seconds. ABS and drag torque slip control are fixed. Again, I may just not be aware of how to turn these off if anybody knows.
Tough choice but I’d have to choose the 21. I like the chrome option, I like the center console, I like the chopped engine guards. I could do without the cable clutch but the adjustability solves my issues.
