When you get older, looking sporty is not a priority, enjoying your spare time in comfort, is the new priority. Love those Baggers!!
Never thought I’d agree with this four years ago. Lucky for me I learned early. 25 years old and I have one hard tail iron head, one evo sportster 1200 and one ‘72 shovel head.
Exactly this. When I started riding in 2015, I hated Harleys. Now, I have a Road King, and it's the most comfortable bike I've ever owned, out of 10. Comfort is everything now.
Yup, maturity!
Im 34 and ride a 2014 H-D Ultra (Classic). I have no regrets or interests in going fast honestly. I'd rather cruise at a slow speed and take in the scenery and enjoy the ride.
I'm 30 and I have a 2015 Indian Roadmaster. I love it!
But you can do twice the ride if you go twice the speed ;D
We ride to get out from inside the "cage". Knees in the breeze, brothers and sisters!
i can do both on mt09
31 with a 2018 Ultra Limited...traded in a vrod for it.
I’m 21 and own a 2006 electra glide . Owned it since I was 19 .
It's because alot of ppl wanted a harley but couldnt afford it- now they're 30 something have a bit of money and still can't afford a new one but the used market is massive.
More like they got scared or the fad wore off .
Easier to buy a earlier Electra Glide and modify the fenders and lights than spend 25k on a new street glide.
I’m 67 and I ride a Triumph Street Triple R. Fun, fun, fun.
Waldo25m Hey Bro, I'm 62 and ride a 2011 Triumph Rocket 3, I bought new!
I've had a Triumph in my garage since 1975, love my Brit. bikes!!!
Norm Cote
Nothing sings like those triple cylinder motors. Totally different sound.
I've had 3 triumphs and 4 harleys
Rode a Rocket III but have yet to own one.... such a sweet bike.
A 2000 sprint st with the 955i triple is what started my love for Triumph.
Then a 2001 Harley Night Train with the flat black paint started the Harley bug around 2010.
Two totally different beasts but both have their own grin factor.
With So many great bikes over the past couple of decades shopping for the next bike is very time consuming.
Ride on brothers
@@aarong9089 Yes both brands are so much fun to ride, that said a Vespa is too lol!
@@normcote270 I'm 51 drive a 2008 rocket 3 touring big bike
@@aarong9089 couldn't agree with you more; 32k miles on my 2014 Rocket III Roadster (white stripe) bought it new in 2015 April hasn't give me any issues and let me tell you folks the power and torque of the inline triple from triumph has to be experienced- no words. Bike is incredible however it takes a certain type of crazy to tame the rocket 3
I am 25 and I have an Electra Glide and I love it. I am never going back!
I bought my Ultra Classic when i turned 50.I live near Ottawa,Ontario.My wife and i have seen on our Harley the east coast,the gulf of Mexico all the way to California,the Pacific Coast and almost everything in between.Cruising along on all the scenic roads with our luggage ,we have seen a lot of North America.There are a lot of nice places to see and a lot of nice people to meet.Nothing beats the feeling of riding in the morning with scenery we have never seen before.A lot of good memories on the Harley and i hope a lot more to come if we can travel again.
Awesome bike! And keep the verses coming brother!
TheCodFather, hear hear
23 here, and I have a 1988 Electra Glide Classic. I love every bit of it from riding to comfort.
21 here and ride a 2010 street glide! old farts know how to be comfortable!!!
Thanks for complementing the "old guys" on their wisdom. As an old guy I would like to add that I very much enjoy my reliable, sporty, and fast Yamaha FJR 1300 sport touring ride. 😄👍
All right, so I’m 28 and just bough my first bike! I was thinking about buying a Harley sportster but found an awesome very well kept pristine condition Ultra Classic 1999 with 47,000 miles on it. It rides like a champ, let me tell you!!! Everything works on the bike. I am very pleased with my purchase and I get exactly what you’re saying man.... hats off to you....
This isn't just a bike review video. There are serious life advice golden nuggets within.
I’m 22 on a 2007 ultra classic, I love it. 🤷♂️
Old Bull and a young Bull come to the crest of a hill. Down below, under the shade of a tree are a bunch of Heifers. The young Bull says, “ O-o-o, let’s run down a do a few”. Old Bull says “Let’s walk down and do them all”.
I recently bought an 2005 ULTRA CLASSIC HARLEY with a sidecar -----I wish I have bought it soooooner ! It is the best ever !
Ultra Classic huh, my next ride, I like that bike
I have a 2008 Ultra Classic I bought new. I love it.
I bought my 2011 ultra classic and my 08 royal star tour deluxe because of your videos keep up the great videos.
Sean, just by looking at the gauges (on the right), I can see that this Twin Cam 88 has had the cam chain tensioner problem solved. Yep, the oil pressure is up at 30 psi or so at idle and 65 psi at 40 mph, that tells me the oil pump has been upgraded along with the cam plate to hydraulic tensioners!! It probably has adjustable push rods and I bet it has had the lifters replaced at about 40,000 miles or so. Nice bike, send it to me for my birthday, I don't have 7 bikes in the garage, only 4 and a Road King CVO 103 cu in and a Softail Heritage Springer 80 cu EVO and a Triumph Thunderbird 1600 ABS and they don't count. I will replace my Goldwing with this one if you send it for my birthday... :-)
Oh you forgot something else us old guys have figured out. I am old and on Social Security. California does NOT tax Social Security.... I figure that is worth something!
I just got a 05 ultra classic 58k love it should I get cam tensioner checked herd lots problems on this yr
Just bought a softail 62 years old I live in the Uk only thing millennials ride is the bus to busy spending money on looking like each other
steven harrison HAHAHAHAHAHA
Haha Truth! Tell it how it is sir!
Sush that slander. I’ve been wearing the same tee shirts for 4 years now as I ride my 2014 road king with stretched bags.
I was never a Harley hater I love all motorcycles no matter how big or small they are but I was a Harley hold out for many many many years thinking the cruiser-style bike would never really suit me 25 years later I decided I want a radio in cruise control and a seat that won't hurt my ass after 50 miles I got an 04 Ultra and I love it for anybody who wants to sell the Harley should give it a honest try first
Kevin Coulombe exactly
I have an Ultra Limited and I’ve had sport bikes and cruisers - this is my favorite of them all.
46 with a Street Glide. That is a nice medium for my taste. But nice UC anyway. Any true biker knows that if it has 2 wheels and an engine, then it will work. 👍
I was 38 yrs old when I bought my 2010 Ultra Classic & never looked back. I ride ,what they call, a hot rod bagger. You can make your Ultra, look like a young man's bike ,when you customize it!!!
Hey I can take the tour pak off of my Ultra Classic Low and it's badass. Sits lower than a Street Glide.
I own a 2017 Ultra Limited and love it. We looked at other bikes, but kept coming back to the Harley. The 2018 gold wing is very intriguing, but I’m a little disappointed with the reduced storage space. I find myself being able to travel insane distances while being very comfortable. The new Milwaukee 8 has been everything it was promised to be. All of this said, we will probably get a smaller bike scooting to from work. If you think that 2005 is comfortable and runs well, ride one of the new Ultras with the new suspension and geometry.
im 26 years old and i own harley davidson electra glide 2005 and i fell in love with it 🔥❤️
I’m 31 and I used to ride a GSXR 600 in my early 20’s. Now I’m married with 3 kids and just purchased a 2018 indian scout bobber with ABS
i am 38 and still ride a gsxr 600. no wife or no kids though.....and i ride like a old lady.
I have the scout 60. Only got 12k miles but has been most most reliable bike by far. Great motorcycle
I agree, I have an ultra now and I wish I had ADDED it to my group of motorcycles. It shouldn’t replace any if your bikes but is a good addition. 1st summer I had it, I went halfway across the country and went camping, would not have wanted to do that on any other bike. But I don’t use it to commute to work or zip around town.
There comes a time in most people's life where comfort takes priority of speed
I'm 39 I bought a 2012 electra glide off an old man who was 78 years old for my 1st harley it had 8800 miles on it and a ton of chrome harley accessories just about like this one.
I had a Road King, was looking for a little more comfort and wind protection. Loved the Street Glides but you get so much more with an Ultra for the money! I'm currently 38 and so I am more of a gen X but I think the Ultra is very cool looking, and very comfortable. I don't understand why so many people dismiss the Ultra as an "old guy's bike" because when you ride one you can't wipe the smile off your face!
Also, I love the bible verses. Thank you for standing tall and spreading the Good News.
Jonathan Hickory its an old man bike no power, shitty handling, heavy. If u like the bike thats great, but i guarantee you can find a better looking, better running, more powerful, and more comfortable touring machine elsewhere, and save probably 10+k and not be enslaved for 10 years on payments
Jonathan Hickory EXACTLY
Jonathan Hickory, my first Harley was when I was in my 20's and it was an Ultra Classic. Everyone said i bought an old man's bike. This sexy Heritage Classic came into the shop and my dealer gave me what I paid for the Ultra in trade for the Heritage. other than the appearance of the bike it was a mistake. I'm 53 now and on a 2017 Ultra Classic with the M8 engine, it does everything you could want a Harley to do on public highways. I routinely ride 500 mile days no sweat.
I guess a young guy could call me an old guy these days but I dig my Ultra and have no plans to ever get rid of it.
@@seanbutler2291 maybe it has shitty handling if you don't know how to ride, but that's a lack of operator skill not a fault of the machine.
Amen brother, agree on all points. I too love hearing people out spreading the Gospel.
I’m 26. Just learned how to ride and started with a Kawasaki Vulcan Classic 800. I love it to death. It’s very relaxing to ride it.
Youre 29 now still enjoying it?
@@GrzegorzDurda Got rid of it unfortunately it became very unreliable. I now ride an Indian Chieftian and an FTR rally as my daily 60 mile commuter. Cheers
@@GetsomeUSMC843 Awesome! Great bike pick. Im on a Honda vtx 1800.
That's a nice looking bike ...thanks for sharing .
I bought my first Ultra 25 years ago after taking my Wide Glide on as 21day 8000 mile trip :) For years we took a 9 day bike ride and the Ultra's are great!
I also have my 93 WideGlide :) Now at 65, I might have to move to a TriGlide Ultra due to hip and knee abuse over the years.
Ride on, Be Safe !
I’m 20. I own a 2015 Yamaha FZ-09. It’s incredibly fast, incredibly nimble, and has enough torque to peel your arms off. But I’m selling it for a cruiser because I want to be comfortable and enjoy the ride. Not feel like I’m on a 2x6 board with 115hp
the FZ line is great, what kind of bike are you going to buy?
That’s the best video I’ve seen of you yet , man...do one of the 03 silver over black anniversary Ultra ( that’s what I ride)
I'm 36 and I love my 2012 ultra limited. Has only 22,300 miles on it. Most comfortable bike I've ridden. Nothing like just cruising and still have the power to get up and go.
exhaust sounds awesome...who makes the mufflers?
Bro more respect.
I’m 34 looking at one. Thank you for the info.
Millennials ride ultra classics because that’s what there dads let them borrow.
Steven Scherrens lol
Where dads?
Millenials dont have dads. They all ran out on them.
Millennials don't subscribe to traditional dad/mom roles. Mom and dad's are non binary, non toxic, parent fluid, vegans.
I am a Millennial, I am 33 years old. I have held a full time job since I was 16 years old, I've been employed at the same company now for 15 years, I work 50-70 hours a week every week. I've started my own family, I've been married for 13 years, I've owned my own home for 11 years, our son is 8 years old, healthy, smart and honest. I just bought a brand new 2019 Harley Davidson Ultra Limited 4 weeks ago. My point is not brag, my point is that we were all not raised to be lazy, we do not all fall in that mindset that many have of the millennial generation. And don't forget, it was our parents who raised us to be who we are today.
I went from a Guzz V7, to Concours 14 to a C90 and now considering an Ultra Classic or Goldwing, I wanna ride for days!
I agree....with the edition of my '05 Electra Glide (1550, stage 1, screaming eagle 2 into 1) I'm at 6 bikes. The '02 RC51, 96 YZF 750, 94 GSXR1000, 90 GSXR750 & 89 GSXR1100 (mikuni flatslides, 93 swimgarm) all fall into their own specific roles. Most tool kits have a couple phillips and a couple flat screwdrivers....most mechanics have screwdrivers filling at least one entire toolbox drawer 😉.... multiple bikes keep mileages down & values up as well 😁
Bought a corvette at 25 and my first bagger at 26 🤷🏽♂️. On my fourth now at 33 👍🏽
kc2giw must be having problems keeping bikes properly serviced if you destroy them that quickly
Maybe a Kawasaki will hold up better for you
Great sound!
I’m 36 and just bought my second FLH. It’s a FLHTCUI
That is a Nice looking Ultra.
I recently bought an 08 Ultra so I can ride with me new SO. I like it in spite that it it is not quick. I just sold my 750 Katana. I still have my 03 F650 GS, 99 VFR750C Magna, 79 CB400T and a 75 GT380 triple. I will get another fast bike soon. Is my Ultra my favorite to ride? No. I use it for two-up and will commute on it (I ride 55 miles each way to work, mainly on interstates). I like the Ultra for what it is, a nice comfortable two-up motorcycle. Does it stir anything in my soul? Not really.
I have both lol 2016 yamaha r1, 2018 ktm 350, 98 electra glide, and a 1970 xlch I’m in the process of rebuilding. Garage is looking nice🤘🏻
Getting my brother's 2003 VTX with 7000 miles on it ! Only 4 grand and it doesn't have a scratch on it. Keep the faith, and I enjoy the vids ! PEACE
You got those things! These things! THAT stuff 👊😋💨
My dad has an Ultra Classic and a Heritage. Both bikes ride great, they both have the 88Cid engine, both have a 5 speed, but the Heritage is about 200 or so lbs less. Both have comfortable seats, the Ultra has a nice back rest that works well on long trips. In the end they both have good and not so good aspects. I prefer riding the Heritage when he lets me ride one of his. I now own a Dyna Wide Glide and it feels a lot like the Heritage. I prefer a more traditional type bike over a large touring bike.
Harley's are nice and relaxing and just feel good. I ride my Road King early Sunday mornings and it's motorcycling bliss. I ride my KTM 1290 when I want to shred some canyons, PS I'm 56...ride safe
28 and love the Electra Glide. Bought my 1990 Sporty back, and buying an 06 Electra Glide Ultra Classic
are those speakers near the knees?
I'm 29 and ride a 2003 Ultra Classic 100th anniversary edition, pearl white, got 54000 miles on the clock and running like a beauty. Greetings from South Africa.
I bought a 93 ultra classic but i stripped it down. No hard boxes or luggage trunk or front faring. Put some beach bars on it. Looks pretty dope lol
I own an 07 ultra classic and an 08 softail chopper... I always feel like I'm riding a grandpa's bike when on the ultra classic... but I recently rode my chopper from Houston to Austin.... and, let me tell ya, I had a lot more appreciation for the ultra... I'm 37. For comfort, you can't go wrong with the classic, plus the wife can b comfy too... but, when I wanna get after it, and get looks, I take the chopper solo.... either way, I'm riding.... no cages!!!
I love my 2005 Ultra, upgraded to 1550 with 6 speed gearbox and only 33,000 on the clock
Why was there a Buell 1125r in the back?
I waited 62 years to get my Ultra classic.. Better late than never. I LOVE it.. Have had over 30 different motorcycles in my life. This is one of the most fun bikes I've ever owned. Outside of dropping it at stop signs periodically (LOL) I haven't had a spot of trouble with it.. 2008 Ultra Classic. So comfortable two up. It really does limit your speed compared to a sport bike. At 80 mph you really KNOW you're going fast LOL! My son has a beautiful Panigale that is a work of art. Compared to his, this is chiseled out of granite.. But it's still pretty sexy when you see it go down the road....
i have a 99 ultra and it just turned the speedo over to 0 miles! and it runs great!!
+Laurence Coots are you serious ?
Laurence Coots - that’s awesome
I'm 28 and love rocking my ultra limited! Rides in comfort and style.
Im 26 and I love touring bikes (goldwing1500 is my dream bike). I planned on buying that 82 gold wing but someone beat me to it
INCBMX I was the same way. I rode touring bike in my 20's. Still own a GL1500
Nice Ultra but not until I'm 40 something. I have a dyna with the fxr fairing.
NVMBRNRG 999 Feel the same way, but maybe not wait that long.ha Im 27, with a street bob with 14" apes. I was deciding between a street glide, and a street bob, and went with the street bob because im getting older not younger haha. I can get larger cruiser down the road. You cant "upgrade" to a less comfortable bike!
I’m 37 and just bought me a 09 road king. Loving it.
I like watching these for the NE country side and building styles. Lived in the Ohio valley until 9/11. Have not been back since. Texas just does not have the same feel.
Really cool bike. Except for all the skulls. I bought a beautiful 2006 Sportster 1200 Low, and it had the same thing. Covered up in those damn Willie G. skulls. It cost me almost $300 in parts to get rid of all of them. Not all Harley riders are into the skulls and death thing. I would actually like to have an XR1200, but they are few and far between and very expensive. To have that many miles on it, that bike must have had a few cam chain/tensioner replacements.
I ride an HD also and stay away from the skulls!
I ride a roadking. I've tried the dressers and the front fairing just isn't for me. But they are nice nun the less . To each their own just get out and ride.
Same here. Road King looks nice with no faring or windshield downtown on a summer night!
NO! We all have to love the STREET GLidE !!!! lol
jay outside EXACTLY
I’m 36 and definitely ready for a Ultra. I wouldn’t be caught dead on a fairing bike just a few years ago. After riding a ultra last week I have totally changed my mind. Plus I would rather have the ultra and strip it down for street glide look and have the tour pack for trips. Everyone wants a street glide but I like the ultra triple lights and the lowers . So my next bike is definitely a ultra!
I'm 31, 2017 Road Glide Special. Love HD
If you think the hd is the way to go but still love your sport bikes. Try a goldwing esp the 1800 series. Comfy and still fun in the corners, any one that has been to places like the tail will vouch. The two Maine bikes that will pass you are sport bikes and goldwing!
I’m 25 with a 2008 ultra classic! Love my ultra! But I do want a another bike like a road king or street bob
I used to ride a cbr600rr then is switch to a Harley nighterter I love being able to take in the scenery now. And I use it for a lot of things now like quick gas stations runs and picking up lil bro 😎
I bought a Dyna, simply because it ticked all my boxes. I started on a sport bike (albeit, a Harley - Buell XB-9), and also have a Yamaha UJM, but I wanted a bigger cruiser that still handled decently and was air cooled.
So, that led me to a 2010 Triumph Thunderbird, and a 2009 Harley Fat Bob. On paper, they're nearly identical. Similar sized engines, similar wheelbase, trail, weight, etc. For all intents and purposes, they are the same bike, painted with a different brush. These two were even the same price, more or less. What got me to the Harley over the (probably superior) triumph is that you can buy Harley parts literally everywhere, whereas the nearest Triumph dealer is an hour away, and everything else would need to be ordered online.
And before you start talking Asian bikes, I rode a couple, and they felt plasticky and cheap. There's a reason they're half the price of the two I was looking at...
All that said, I wouldn't ever buy a 1st generation Twin-Cam Harley. Never know when they're going to grenade their spring tensioned chain tensioners and lunch the motor.
When are you guys giving away the motorcycle and are you going to make a video about it?
I wouldn't know the difference between an Electra Glide, Road King, Ultra Classic, Tour Glide, Wide Glide etc. I know enough to know that there are many models, a few different engine types and sizes, traditional twin shock or soft tail and a bunch over other models like Dyna, Night Train etc. but as near as i can tell it's mainly different combinations of parts. Hell, i get confused when Moto Guzzi has 4 different variations of their California Special in one year. All i know is that my Cali Stone is the strippo bargain basement special.
I'm 24 and debating on just starting on a bike like this so I have a fairing and windshield
I'm 37 and I bought my first and only bike last year a 1997 honda ahadow spirit 1100 it has been awsome I have put 10,000 miles on it paid $2,000 had 19,000 miles on it and all the upgrades I put good tires on it a mustang seat and taller sissy bar Best bigginer bike ever
I'll stick with my Dyna but I would love to have a Street Glide one day. Also I am a car nut so I know the advantages to buying and building an old car over a new one. If you have the expendable cash to buy a new vette and build it to that point. Go ahead but don't expect it to be reliable. If you race cars they're gonna break. I can fix my cheap car time and time again and not spend the msrp of a new vette.
28, riding a 06 VRod CVO. Screw a fairing and bags.
As the rider of an 05 VSTAR, I gotta say that I love a hot rod.
Im 29 and ride a 2009 dyna. Best bike i have ever owned. Younger riders really should give harleys and other cruiser type motorcycles a chance.
My first big bike was a street glide, now I’m on a brand new road glide, HD 4 Eva!
Is the road glide the one with the fixed fairing? And if so how do you like it vrs thr streetglide
I'm surprised the street glide doesn't get more attention. If I got a touring bike it would be a road glide or Street glide,
Ultra classic? Nah, got me an Ultra Limited cause I must be old, hahaha! Well it sits in my garage next to my dirt bike and my old Yamaha Royal Star, I never cared about brands it’s all about what fits you and what makes you happy
+kwlambright I love the limiteds , good choice
the limited is where its at
Im 24 i love street bikes bit im into the cruisers and i love them way more comfier theb being bent over all the time i got a 99 kawi concours 1000 love it and the bags you can carry stuff to
I wouldn't mind a nice Harley. But FYI if you can rebuild motors anything with 30k into it can be fast. For maybe 4k full build I could take a single cam Honda and make 500whp+.
Riding in the fall is so nice. Iam in Dallas aug 1st 2021 HOT and STICKY.😰
what you really need is a big trail adventure motorcycle...
2010 Harley Fatboy (softtails are awesome, so....)
Thanks for the Scripture verse. Very important. Big thumbs up.
Love the bike.
Very cool man. That bike is so much nicer than the newer Harley's especially with all the electronics they have now!
'Fly by wire' just takes the fun out of it all.
Miss you guys!!
Started with a honda shadow phantom then went to a harley davidson dyna wide glide then went to the honda fury then went to a yamaha raider s and now I was able to get a 2013 cvo breakout
another cool thing about older Harley Davidson motorcycles, is a 3.5 gallon gas tank, you can go over a hundred and forty miles on, then stop for fuel & be comfortable, other bikes beat me up
What a blast! Love your sarcasm!
I bought my 2013 Ultra Limited 3 years ago, & its selling for more today than what i paid ? I guess they hold there Value .
HA HA- Its 4:55pm and i just finished dinner, too right
