That's Not a Real Harley! And Other Stupid Things People Say...
I get nostalgia, I really do. I love old ‪@harleydavidson‬ motorcycles, I love old cars, I love super basic, stripped down choppers, but I am GLAD that that isn't ALL THERE IS. Technology is cool. Performance is cool. A better ride... it's cool. The recent video I did about the new CVO Road Glide ST met with some skeptics, I get that, but some of these comments were wild and came from really just not knowing much about the history of Harley-Davidson. While the CVO Road Glide ST is a spaceship full of modern tech, it is firmly planted in the tradition of Harley Davidson motorcycles. I love it, and I think those of us that love vintage, sweet old scooters need to respect it for what it is. The best Harley that Harley has ever made.

You hit the nail on the head. Let's face it, a lot of current H-D owners are about to age out of riding. H-D needs to sell to a younger audience. I think the ST lineup was brought out for that exact reason. And you don't have to buy a RG CVO ST to have performance fun, you can get a Lowrider S or ST for half the price.

@Rif_Leman Месяц назад

The '80 - '85 FXWG's are some of the best "Harleys" that Harley Davidson ever made. I have an '84 and a '99 Softail and I love them both. The '99 is better built than the '84. But, Harley Davidson stopped making "Harleys" when the last Big Twin Evos left the assembly line. With the exception of the Evo Sportsters, All that HD has made in the 21st century are motor vehicles.

There's definitely validity to the M8's "not sounding like a Harley". Stock, they sound fine when they're standing alone, but put start them back to back with any other Harley big twin, and all the sudden the M8 sounds like crap. A cam really does change the exhaust sound completely on an M8.

It's the only bike Harley has ever produced from the factory that you don't HAVE to change anything on it. It is perfect the way it is. Of course I am changing a couple things. Taller risers, different seat and exhaust. But that's it. People love to talk shit until they ride one. The other half of people talking shit just can't afford one.

She sounds like a Harley and I can’t believe how fast she is now. Oh too, by the way, she’s also running the S&S chrome teardrop air cleaner. I’m 52 and had too many HD’s to count goin back to FXR’s and Evo Dynas with a few twin cams and by FAR - this is the fastest Harley I’ve ever owned. Love the M8 with that .475 cam. She’s a beast.

Other big advantage with upside down forks is they can be designed to be adjustable for compression, preload, rebound, and sag, and the really fancy ones can be adjusted electronically. Still can't say I am a fan of the new 2024 street glide and road glide. I like gauges on my classic touring bikes (something that both Indian & BMW kept, and that I really wish HD kept as well), and I am not really crazy for the look of the new fairings.

I had a Valkyrie in 2004 that had inverted forks. The best ride ever for the year. My 2019 street glide doesn’t ride half as good. They need to get with the times when it comes to suspension and this is a good step in the right direction. This shouldn’t be a cvo option but a standard one.

@sarge29477 Месяц назад

No emissions tests in New York State. Yet. But if you have exhaust pipes that do not have baffles in them, you will not pass inspection. Why a lot of people are keeping their stock pipes throwing them on for inspection, and then switching back to aftermarket afterwards. Of course, it is up to the "officers discretion" if your pipes are "too loud" and can write you a ticket.

@abn82dmp 22 дня назад

MD is kind of the same. Baffles for inspection, though inspection is only when you first register, then never again. So baffles in for the day, then gone. No emissions here either. BTW- Wife thought bike was too loud without the baffles...a few weeks later, she was complaining about her right foot getting too hot. Without telling her, baffles "fell out"...amazingly her complaints about her foot getting hot stopped...

No inspection in Florida. I remember the good old days in 1972 . Getting a motorcycle inspected. Consisted of blowing the horn turning on your low and high beams, applying the rear brake. Then inspection guy was standing in front of the bike. Tell you to grab the front brake in a pull on your front forks.. Sometimes I wondered what would happen if I let go of the front brake? Then they put the sticker on your left front fork. From my point of you, you better not get that sticker crooked. It needs to be on there correctly.

There's no emissions test in CA. However, if you live in CA like I do, you can't get certain tuners and you certainly can't get a 2 into 1 without a catalyst. There is a loophole where some smaller distributers (so not Dennis Kirk or J&P) will sell you a Thunderheader etc. when you fill out a "hold harmless" form that states that you're intention is to use your bike for race purposes only.

There is a motorcycle emissions test in Texas, but if there's not one in California, I can't think of where else one would be.

@a.r.o7697 Месяц назад

@@bobganger7984 It's wild that there's one in Texas. In CA all they do is just try to prevent exhausts for bikes newer than 2007 from being shipped into the state.

That 1980 FLT Tour-glide is not a real Harley. That’s an AMF Harley. Just kidding 😂. Really enjoying your stuff. Keep’em comming.

Thanks for sharing, you just can't win with some mentalities that are not open to changes or style.

I had a guy tell me the M8 117 doesn't sound like a real Harley. He has a twin cam.

@ttjbiggunner2025 Месяц назад

Twincams do sound better and all the m8s do sound like crap stock and it sucks to have to pay so much just to get that rumble we all know and love but that's thanks the the government so we can't realy blame the company

I’m glad Harley finally started using inverted forks. Definitely not new tech I have them on my 99 Honda Valkyrie interstate

No emissions test for bikes in the UK (yet). I’m sure it won’t be long as we are looking at a fully Pinko government in July :(

@ronkuzyk3836 23 дня назад

Yeah, I know what you mean. People saying it is not a real Harley, I have the same problem with my Serial 1 E-Bike.

@scottkaufman3332 Месяц назад

Couldn’t agree more! Love the technology Harleys bring to the v-twin. “Real Harley guys” will bitch about Harley being stuck in the past, then turn around and bitch about the new designs they put out!

@htena3099 Месяц назад

I agree with you 💯. You gotta continue the Sturgis talks. I'm going this year for the first time and want any information possible. 👍 Love the videos.

I think I’d listen to the guy who has been around them most of his life - not to mention a guy who learned from a generation before him of Harley owners
