Is the Harley Davidson CVO Road Glide ST as awesome as they say? 

❤❤❤❤

Shut up and get a loan, buy the damn thing! I did and its a Rocketship.

@@randyboisa6367 I would if I didn’t already have my 2022 SGS. I’m not going to go into a RG upside down

The ST beats a standard RG no matter what you can do to the 117... USD forks and the Brembos make the ST completely different than the standard option and far superior.

😂😂😂

Me to have the rg st 2023 love it

Me too my 22 sg st

That’s it! I didn’t know.

I own the cvo st and I have test ridden 2 Indian challengers. First the power is better in every way on the Harley. Second the paint quality isn’t even close the Harley’s kill Indian with the paint. Third the Indians cover a ton of crap with a ton of plastic, their switch housings are plastic there is a massive amount of plastic in the inner faring and the housing for the screen is double side taped down and comes loose on a ton of them. Feels very cheaply made. Third a ton of the challengers bags leak. 4th they still haven’t figured out the parasitic draw that requires a ton of them to stay on a tender. Now that electronically adjustable rear shock that’s a giant win on the Indian. Both bikes do ride well. However the Indian just feels like an import not an American iron cruiser. It’s also a bigger chore to take bags off and put them on. The fairing has 20 plus bolts to remove, it’s a chore. Cost. To get near the cvo you would have to buy the elite. 40k for the elite 43k for the st

@@dnice4431 Fair enough, I think I was pretty clear it was an initial impression based on a demo ride. I have never been a fan of the Polaris brands. From an overall design perspective, I'm still not and probably never will be an "Indian" person. What I think is notable is that Indian is pushing innovation and increasing in quality that rivals and occasionally exceeds Harley in some ways. This has to be good for riders, competition drives product development across the board. I always felt that Harley wins on the quality and feel of the controls and components. I didn't pick up on that much of a difference between Indian and Harley with the demo bikes I rode. Yes, the Indian stuff isn't quite up to Harley, but it's much closer and certainly didn't feel flimsy and look cheap/generic like in the past.

@@chuckc1 to me the Indians did feel cheap and plastic heavy. Almost like a sport bike version of a road glide. Which is fine if that’s the market they are targeting. But clearly they are gunning for Harley. Any innovation they push and others for that matter. BMW who ever I want Harley to hate that they weren’t first and come back hard. Now that said that’s exactly what the 24 models and the cvo road glide st are. They are a direct answer to prove who the big dog is. They went further on tech, performance, weight reduction, power and torque and lowered costs while doing so. It was a direct shot at Indian. Now does Harley have more to do and still a ways to go. Sure. However I like where they are headed. Big wins for us.

I think the Indian Challeger is ugly AF.

Right on!

The crank has a light weight balancer on it verses the older heavy balancer used on the other bikes. This allows the engine to build RPM's faster. My biggest gripe with the HD engines is that it takes forever to get to redline.

I have the Goldwing and just bought a CVO Street Glide too. They BOTH have their place. They are both the best at what they do but they do very different things.

@@Trialnerror is the goldwing faster?

@@ridered7394 Goldwing is WAY faster yes but the Harley is much more fun and engaging.

How good is the sound of the Goldwing...😂😂😂 It's not just about speed

@@TrippinwithSimothe flat six cylinder of the Goldwing sounds like an F1 car!!! Not the same sound/heart of a big American V-twin but it sings a good song.

Right on! Welcome aboard!

Which color?

Dark Platinum. I tell everyone it's silver! 🤣

I've got the same bike. Night and day from my 19 cvo street glide. Loving it

Beta tester ;-)

This. Just look how long it took them to come out with a reasonably ok oil pump for the m8’s.

I have the same opinion on new product changes to most things in LIFE.... & It's a massive cost to be the test dummy too. Overall I'm excited but hesitate as it's all computer & we all know with TECHNOLOGY systems fail.... it's always a TOTAL SHUTDOWN & I'm not up to be stuck with a $80,000🇦🇺 Harley in the middle of Australia & with no Cell Coverage. Yes we know it WILL return & fixed etc.... but Australia is a vast land & my Dyna will always get me HOME & no chrome needed either... May all your days be Harley days Safe travels 🙏♥️🐾🐾🇦🇺

These have been soooooo reliable it's not even funny. SOmetimes progress is a good thing

Here’s a thought about this. If you are a test dummy get the extended warranty. That way if the part fails and they have an upgrade guess what you get it replaced with the new version of the part

Right on all around there!

But it doesn’t have track and track + modes, or the fancy paint, or inverted front forks, rear shocks with Reservoirs, upgraded audio… if you don’t care about that stuff then it’s a savings but the ST Is more than just HP and TQ. I road it in Vegas at the launch and I have put over a thousand miles on on base 2024 Street Glide and Road Glide.

@@RidingintheOzarks true, but it does have wet, touring, sport or custom mode where if you set all to max its pretty much track like mode. You can upgrade the stereo and rear shocks and still be on the profit side...but its up to you

@@paineys3341 track mode isn’t just more power it was based off Kyle’s input and it is really a more refined throttle in my opinion. My point is after doing all those upgrades the cost difference is much less especially if you have to pay a shop labor. I’m not saying one is better than the other but resale on a CVO will be higher, banks don’t loan on upgrades generally. It is all just things to consider.

Yep, that's the one!

Yes it's a easy fix.

Looks a bit like chip board...

that's what I am thinking street glide for me.
