Just purchased a 2022 reef blue/vivid black limited with RDS. It’s an excellent bike. It’s definitely heavy moving it around the garage, but once it’s rolling the weight disappears. This is a bike that loves to be ridden long distances. I can’t recommend it enough.
I just bought new 22 FLTRK black on black yesterday. Iv owned all the brand touring bikes over 53yrs riding. This one is by far the best. Weight is only a issue at walking speeds. But you adapted to that real quickly also.. very good content in your reviews
Anyone skeptical about harleys braking system. I have no experience with this one but im just going to say ill trust it. I had a 2010 cvo streetglide with ABS. Car pulled out in front of me when I was doing about 60 mph. On coming traffic and a big ditch to my right. In my mind I was going to hit the car, I didnt have enough space to stop.... I jammed the front and rear brakes as hard as I could. I was trying to slow as fast as I could before I t-boned that fool! To my shock that bike didn't even scuff a tire and stayed perfectly in a straight line, it stopped faster than I ever imagined a motorcycle could. Bare in mind I probably never pushed a set of brakes to the limit to know how fast I could stop a bike before since my entire existence was dont over brake and cause a tire to lock up. So long story short, HD has amazing brakes and if they say they work I believe them. I went home that day unscathed because HD did a great job designing that old ABS so im sure this has to be better.
I can tell you I own a 21 roadglide limited and it is an awesome bike. I ordered mine without the rdrs or traction control. I want full power all the time. This bike is nimble and powerful. Great long distance two up machine baby! I find myself liking the cable clutch, after having the hydraulic previous. The android auto is a nice feature as well. Note it has 18 inch wheels front and rear ,and the trunk lights are led
thanks for your video, after watching I got the 2022 road glide limited vivid black and reef blue.. awesome bike. The only change it needed was new TAB performance slip on exhaust or whatever you choose. there are lots of choices
Men you are a Pro! Nice video explanation (I bought it) compares like nothing else i ride, its a dream machinery, even at slow speed its still handy, at high speed forget about it, solid smooth sharp quick responsive cooooomfortable.... Like no other i got stage II, pricy out the door came out 38k, i went to a few dealers (i guess they now acting in consensus) same price Thanks for the great info
Harley needs to get on board with the adjustable wind screen. Indian needs to get on board with the linked braking. Both I feel are a must for this class of expensive touring bikes.
Some people do not want an adjustable windshield, I have heard of service issues regarding them and when I rode the Roadmaster I felt like it vibrated a lot more. Not sure where the happy ground is on that one...maybe an option so those that don't want it don't have to pay for it?
The current system offers riders the ability for under three $400 to get any fairing including custom made. there’s just no upside for Harley to make the investment because it diminishes rider choice. Maybe HD could make my CarPlay/Apple play function without the need for an additional $500 bullshit module
No way for me (regarding the adjustable wind screen). There has never been a time that I've needed to adjust it. Once the wind screen is the way I like it, it stays that way forever. No moving parts, looks better, feels better, works better.
@@niagarawaygmail you either need a headset or a CB microphone if you have the connector on the tank. Otherwise the connector is $70 for a street glide. I have a limited, so the intercom connection is factory.
nice video. Looking forward to your comparison video. I think you didn't mention, is the tour pack detachable? these ultra and limited models never got my attention, but the road glide is growing on me and I wonder if this model could be a nicer and more sophisticated alternative to a road glide standard. Keep up the good work and safe riding always!
I am a chrome kinda guy that likes eye grabbing custom paint but I decided to go with the gun ship gray and black out on my new road glide Going to take some time to really appreciate the color but I think it’s a sexy bike now so I will get use to it pretty soon
$28,000 dollars gets you into the H.D. dealership...but...when you ride out...you ask yourself where the hell another $12,000.00 dollars was added onto your 'final' out the door...and that is not even tax, or dealer (gonna pinch ya a little more) fees... H.D.'s are Alle Carte bikes...you pay for EVERYTHING extra that should come as a standard feature....just the H.D. 'we're gonna getcha' marketing ploy...
In my opinion I don’t think Indian motorcycles exhaust comes close to Harley especially the older models. The Milwaukee 8 engine is a lot quieter on the road even if you change your exhaust. I own a 2010 CVO that has Vance and Hines slip on’s and it’s loud but has a nice deep rumble. It sounds great running about 80 mph. I just bought the gunship gray roadglide limited and it’s a really sexy bike that catches eyes but it’s really quite compared to my CVO. Not for long though, once I get my 500 miles break in done with I’m planning on putting some nice led lights on it and change out the exhaust to something with some rumbling sound. I’ve only put 120 miles on it but it’s a beast that handles very well in curves and power to hit 80 mph very quickly. If your deciding on getting yourself a premium touring bike with power and looks then this machine is for you.
When you get a chance go to my UA-cam channel and check out the 2022 CVO Road Glide Limited that I spotted at my local Stealership. You won't believe the price tag!
If you get this road glide Limited invest in the quick detach tour pack option, but only if you plan on bopping around town or carving canyons. These bikes are beasts. I bought a 2020 road glide special and a king tour pack that detaches. Gave up some radio and electronics functions as well as heated seats… had to spend 500+ plus for heated grips and don’t have Apple CarPlay because I didn’t buy the $500 bullshit module.
20 FLTRXS OR RoadGlide Special w/king tour pack. I basically have a badass convertible. With the tour pack off and under the right conditions I can spin the rear wheel in 1-3 gears even with the traction control on. Takes a lot to make it fishtail but it can be done with traction control on. And I’m running in stock baby. Break it in per HD spec and maintain it.

I bought the 2022 Road Glide Limited in Reef Blue Vivid Black
Great Review!
Gotta be the all black vivid black for me! Some tasteful pinstripes would set it off.
Best review I've seen. Great information and to the point. Well done!
Thank you!
nice video. Looking forward to your comparison video.

The tour park isn’t detachable from the factory but the sell a quick detach for it. It definitely has a few extra bells and whistles
I want the Reef Blue/Black, but I don't want the price. They have a Reef Blue/Black RGS that looks good.
I have been riding Harleys my entire 65 years! Only one of them were not black.The rest were.I am getting the blue this time.

Going to take some time to really appreciate the color but I think it’s a sexy bike now so I will get use to it pretty soon

Pursuit all the way! JMO

Mike you answer ONE QUESTION concerning the rumble sound coming from a big Indian bike, is it equal to or better then a HARLEY? That's all, thx🤝
My opinion - I like Sound from the Harley better
In my opinion I don’t think Indian motorcycles exhaust comes close to Harley especially the older models. The Milwaukee 8 engine is a lot quieter on the road even if you change your exhaust. I own a 2010 CVO that has Vance and Hines slip on’s and it’s loud but has a nice deep rumble. It sounds great running about 80 mph.

So, what's old is what's new...in essence.
