    fast action jax, you and matt laidlaw are the two best Harley reviewers on youtube, thanks for the clips! I have one question, if you had to choose between buying a used 2010 road king (looked after) and having about $6000 to spend on it, or buying a new 2018 road king without having any money to add extras. Which would you pick?

    • @fastjax
      @fastjax 6 років тому +3

      thanks brother! I really appreciate that. Matt's page is actually what gave me the inspiration to start doing this since he's on the west coast and Im on the East I figured I'd start doing to try to help people the best I could too, not that location really matters on youtube ha. But to answer you question that is a really tough one and I think it's going to depend more on what your after. the new bike will come with the Harley 2 year warranty and you could ride it care free for awhile, BUT if you after more the customization factor and want to really make the bike yours and custom I'd go that route, either way I think you'll be happy and either way you'll end up with a customized bike specific to you, I think its going to boil down to how long you want to wait to do it, sooner on used, longer on new.

    I saw this model parked today at HelmetCenter, spoke with the gentleman who had recently acquired it, and damn near may have become a Harley convert. The bike was absolutely stunning. It looked showroom new with 10K miles, and the dude was a good down to earth ambassador for his chosen brand. Also, when I came out of the store there was a Harley support bike for the Motorcycle Cannonball Run ridden by an RN Emergency Responder......very cool.

    @slyguyaction 6 років тому +1

    Bars are a little closer on a batwing but you can feel the weight of fairing. Everything is much more compact. Lots more room, better wind deflection(with storage)and no fairing weight on a RoadGlide. Clutch, either brake pedal/lever and rolling the throttle forward cancels the EITMS too. It's all a matter of taste and what fits/suits the individual for sure. Just my opinion, of course. Glad you gave a short ride impression of both bikes. Ride safe!

    • @fastjax
      @fastjax 5 років тому +1

      samuraidarryl I wouldn't say it's biased, the point of these reviews is to give information not my opinion. I honestly have nothing negative to say about most motorcycles I ride including metric bikes, so many people look for so many different things in a motorcycle so I try to avoid be opinionated although I am sometimes, My channel isn't linked to my job. It's all mine so I could talk about negatives and positives I just choose not too, and to be honest some of the reason is of course to avoid conflict at work but I would never intentionally steer anyone in the wrong direction. I'm not a salesmen ;) lol

    Great Review. I need to test a new one out. I have a 2015 Electra Glide and I am thinking about getting a new one with Millwaulkee 8. I want to go to a bike that is not so top heavy and easier to handle in tight quarters. Street Glide Special or Road Glide Special?

    • @fastjax
      @fastjax 6 років тому

      thanks! check out my video comparing the two if you havent gotten the chance to watch it yet, the M8 motor is awesome and I know if you ride one you'll fall in love for sure ha. I prefer the road glide over the street glide personally but i always recommend riding both if you are a bit conflicted.

    • @fastjax

      I've seen a bunch of people buy and ride Road Glides and Street Glides at you Height, the Road Glide seat height in actually a little lower than the SG's but they do make reduced reach seats and lower shocks for them as well, A coworker here who is the same height as you are put air ride in the rear of his SG so he just airs down when cruising and airs up on the highway so that is an option too. But their are plenty of options out there to make sure you get fitted properly to the bike you like, if the White Road Glide speaks to you my friend then make it happen. I sold a RGU to a guy who was 5'3" and put burly brand slammers on the back and he loves it. so you have options! hope that helped! and yes my camera sits right on my chin

    Hi, I have a couple of questions. I'm 5.9 (so not a tall rider) and was wondering what highway peg you would recommend for my height. Short or long angled-adjustable-highway-peg. Also are the foot pegs on the 2018 CVOs called "Airflow"?
    I'm looking at trading in my 2016 SG special for the new 2018 CVO SG.....love the Gunship Grey. Great reviews by the way! Cheers...

    • @fastjax
      @fastjax 6 років тому +1

      Yes, you are correct. The footpegs are the Airflow line and personally I find that highway pegs are purely personal preference, I've seen guys at your height run both so I'd hate to recommend a set to you and you not like them. I'd recommend going into the dealership and hoping on a bike that may have them new or used just to feel the fit. Thank you as well!!

    • @fastjax
      @fastjax 6 років тому +1

      don winburn
      You wouldn't notice too much of a difference in handling but you probably would get a little more scrap around corners. Now if you are a performance guy and have done a lot of aggressive rising on a street glide you'd probably notice a slight difference since your slightly changing the rake by lowering the rear but for normal around town riding, not one bit

Never knew I would've loved it so much but then again I said the same when test riding my sportster. I'm young so its hard justifying a Street Glide as I feel I should enjoy the more uncomfortable bikes while I can!

On way to dealer , check engine light came on. They said two or three days a week and half ago. They called today and said when they were going through it , they found problems with transmission and had to order parts. I’m livid. That’s fucked up. I will keep everyone updated when I pick it up and find out details since the guy on the phone had no real answers. 800 miles , with a fucked up transmission already. Don’t think so. I can already see that I will have more problems in the future which is why I paid 30 thousand dollars in the first place.

It just pissed me off that you buy a brand new Harley for 30 grand and then the trans goes out after 800 miles. Harley gives you a two year warranty. They tried charging me 120 bucks for checking the check engine light. I just laughed and litterally said fuck you. Don’t think so. Then they tried charging me 520 bucks for a passenger seat mount. I bought the identical same one on eBay for 80 bucks. That price wasn’t even including installation. I’m starting to learn that buying stuff from China is a lot better then buying here in America. Everyone thinks that everything made in China is cheap. A lot is but a lot if things are made very well also. Just like hear at home.

      Sorry to hear about you bike man.
      I don’t want to pour salt in the wound but there is a reason Consumer reports lists HD as the 2nd most unreliable bike at 26%. BMW is 1st at 33%. If you wanted a reliable bike you need a Yamaha, Suzuki, Honda or Kawasaki. I had been seriously looking at buying a street glide special used because I can’t spend $30K on a bike I can only ride 6 months a year (I live in Canada). However, I’ve come across so many stories like yours I’m going to buy my second choice , a used 2018 Goldwing. I ride 35,000km a season and I can’t do that if my bike is going to be in the shop being fixed all the time. My current bike is a 2014 Kawasaki Nomad 1700 ABS with 168,000 trouble free KM’s. I haven’t done anything but put tires, brake pads and gas in the bike. It has never broken down. Many people say Japanese bikes are ugly, their Harley copies and have no soul. I don’t know if that is true. What I do know is if you want to ride a lot of miles/KM’s trouble free, you can’t beat a Japanese bike. I hope it all works out for you and your back on the road soon. Be safe.

    Not gonna watch a review about motorcycle’s from a guy who blatantly disregards motorcycle safety...and runs stop signs that’s how us fellow riders get hurt. Safety people....

    a lot of repetition. When you have to say the SAME THING over and over again? 3 times is too much already. We got it.
    when you say "full and detailed" ? you should begin with the functions, dials, buttons, etc before ever taking it out on the street. THAT would maybe make it "full and detailed". Rehashing the same points doesn't cut it. Sorry.
    Great Bike. "Review" ? Not so much...
