Blacked out and loud! Vance & Hines power duals, fuelpak3 and SVT Boneshaket Extreme slipons!!! Not loud, just RIGHT! 2019 Special in midnight blue
I might be in the minority, but I just love how Harley Davidson sound with there stock pipes, just the right amount and they sound sweet.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 are u serious
@@SILK334 yes i am
My 2018 Low Rider sounded like a sewing machine when I bought it.
Had to do something about that. 😂
@@ripmax333 lol that's cute
SILK334 oh thanks honey🙂
Hey Sean! I came across your channels a couple of weeks ago and have binged most of them! Great stuff! I’m a pastor, and love how your share the Word in your videos too! I love bikes, and hope to finally have one of my own soon. Keep up the great work!
9:05 you'll never see me putting a turbo or supercharger on a Harley, it's like modifying a minivan. Fast forward 8 months. I've put a turbo on my road king. LoL just messing with ya! I love your content!
Absolutely loud pipes save lives I've been riding for over 35 years on the road in traffic okay when you got loud pipes they don't have to be that loud but when you have louder pipes. people drive around with their windows up their radio on so they don't hear you and they decide to cut over to the right without using their blinker and you happen to be in that area with the loud pipe that's happening to me many times soon as I give it a little gas they hear it boom they pull back over so absolutely 100% louder pipes save lives
I've watched many of your videos (I even watched your Honda 70 video) but my comment will be off-topic. I am a "non-believer" but think it's important to have a belief in something/anything and like how you quote a passage before each ride. Be safe and stay well!
It would be nice to see a slow 360 walk around. The viewer can not see what the bike looks like from the riders view. It would be really cool to have a guy filming from a bike riding next to you. People could see how it looks during acceleration, how it handles the corners, and the rider position, the whole stance of the bike. I still enjoy your videos and have learned many things on all the bikes you review ; Thanks !
I love these roadkings in white, and a quiet exhaust.....a lot of people complain about quiet exhausts but really......you wanna ride for hours with someone yelling in your face......go on a road trip with your wife
Exhaust and wife both, on my 05 RK!!
@Harley Robertson especially when she's got hemorrhoids like YOUR ole lady's
Agree
quiet exhaust on a Harley!!?? NO EFFIN' WAY!!
I commend you brother for including God's word in your content. God bless you 🙏
I don't like having to follow a "control" person in front of you during a "TEST" ride. Test rides is to "TEST" the bike, not just "coast" along like this test ride. Sorry you had to put up with it Sean.... I think Kawasaki had the Vulcan 2000 with the 125 cu in motor... Until Harley gets bigger than that, they will always be smaller. When you get the bigger engines, you get less mileage per gallon and more heat coming off that motor. This test ride could have been done on a 250 Honda Rebel at the speeds you were "allowed" to go. Why have a 114 cu in motor at those kinds of accelerations and speed???
Agreed.
bigger engines would probly allow for less strain on the engine at cruising speeds allowing for less engine heat and greater fuel economy.... this road king at 70mph on the freeway i feel would be cooler and more fuel efficient than say a suzuki savage
@@michaelmorgan2880 I have as 80 cu in Harley and a 103 cu in Harley. The 80 cu in runs cool and gets 50 mpg. The 103 cu in runs hot, very hot and gets 40 mpg. Your legs cook in traffic on the 103 cu in and at highway speeds, you don't feel the heat. Those bigger motors create more heat and gobble the gas even though they are less stressed. Gearing is the solution to mpg with those big motors, but then you lose roll-on and start off speed when you gear it higher for better mpg.
@@ababbit7461 50 mpg seems like a push to me
@@michaelmorgan2880 I am not a "grip it and rip it" type of rider. Those old Evo motors did well on the Kiehin carbs. I had an 2002 883 Sportster that would get as much as 62 mph just "puttin" around.
"Loud pipes save lives" - maybe higher pitched loud pipes, might have some use letting others know where you are but not the low deep rumble of a Harley. The ear has a difficult time perceiving the direction off bass sounds and a much easier time with higher pitched sounds, like a horn.
With aftermarket pipes the "low pitched" pipes are more than loud enough to be heard unless cruising at idle rpm's. I've used my exhaust by revving it to alert vehicles to not switch lanes right into me plenty of times.
@@2kanchoo I'm not saying it has zero effect but a horn is more effective because of its tone, people in cars are more tuned to listening for horns & if the person in the car has as sub & loud bass heavy music playing it will again lessen the effect of the pipes, the horn will stand a better chance of cutting through.
2kanchoo I’ve done that with my stock pipes on my 18 RoadGlide Ultra
@@MajorKRAZI I get what you're saying about tone but you've obviously never ridden or been anywhere near a bike with aftermarket pipes. They are magnitudes louder than a horn, like not even remotely close in decibel level. Even if the person has music blaring they will hear aftermarket pipes over a horn, trust me.
No...
The electraglide standard has a gear indicator and with the M8 107 it got 45 mpg on the highway at 75 mph.
"WHAT PESSENT drove my bike??!?!".. 😆... hilarious...👍
Less is more. Harley owns the look and sound hands down. Life’s short, just buy the bike.
Truth
Damn straight on QT... that place hires the best people. Great place to stop!!
Honestly, What you prefer, Road king special, or Truimph Bonnevvel T120 ?
Just bought a '19 Road Glide Special with the same 114. Maybe it's due to the fairing, but the bike (to me) has PLENTY of rumble. Granted, I've done a Saddlesore on a Shadow with straight pipes, which was a hard lesson learned (nothing like hearing "blubblublubblubblub" mixed with tinnitis for two days afterwards), so no aftermarket pipes for me. Also, coming off an FJR1300, the 114 has plenty of power stock.
I just got this bike. Runs smooth. Old school Harley guy will want the vibration. The newer generation will like the smoothness. I would opt for the louder exhaust.
Sweet bike for sure
“I would never throw a turbocharger or super charger on a Harley Davidson”. Owns a turbo charged road king 🤣😂🤣😂
☝🤓 Alertness, saves lives. But LOUD PIPES are cool as 👊😝💨💨👍got cha!
I'm on my 1st hd rk and luv it.
Wrong displacement. 1868cc*
Metric bikes are almost as much unless u buy a cvo.
I have a Road King with Neighbor Haters and I do get noticed by cagers, but, Granny pulling out onto the highway in front of you ain't hearing those rear-facing pipes. Happened to me yesterday
😂😎
Same here.
Throw a truck horn on the bike.
It's less bike for more money compared to a road king classic. I love it though, chubby internally wired bars, for 2020 114 motor, all blacked out and clean, I like it even though its as rip
I just bought one with the 107 and i absolutely love it
As far as wet weight H-D says … "Weight, In Running Order 820 lb. ". Not 798
I agree with you on the whole loud pipes saves lives things. I say that because I did EMS for 14 years and our dual siren speakers were pointed toward toward other vehicles. They still failed to notice and hear us and pull over. Exhaust pipes are pointed backward away from the vehicle ahead of you.
I've had my 19 RK special since February. I love that bike. but have been thinking of trading it in for a street glide or road glide.
Give it about two years then try to sell it yourself to break even then get another bike. Dealerships only give blue-book value no matter what accessories you add to them. Best to keeps parts & swap out when about to trade with a dealership.
Just did the same thing. Its a 4000 dollar hit. I am friends withe the Sales manager.
Why are u thinking of doing that ?
I only took a hit of 2000, I traded it yesterday. I traded it because I do alot of cross country rides and the navigation and fairing are very helpful in my mind. I'm also paying 200 less a month on the street glide special because I somehow got a much lower interest rate.
@@To3tagz Hows that possible ? The street glide is a more expensive bike. unless you got a better Interest rate.
“I would never change it” puts a 131 M8 in it
You spelled SPONSORED wrong in the cycle facts at the beginning of the video. You have an E instead of an O before the R.
My favorite part about these videos are the words of wisdom
What are the options on it? Cruise? Nice bike. Not a Harley-Davidson fan. But it looks nice.
I don't get why people don't like the cables on the handlebars. It makes bikes look more "mechanical".
IMHO because they are not mehanics, they just white collars)))
the clutch and brake are hydraulic... the switches and throttle are all electronic and routed through the bars so it makes for a super clean look, which is typically what people want...
I have a 19 RGS which has the 114 that gets over 50MPG all day long.
My 103. 40mpg
That’s Frazier’s H-D, and your test ride was way longer than mine and I bought my bike there!
Dude, I'm only about 20 minutes north of Frazier's. Very cool.
This vs Indian Springfield Darkhorse? Can you do a comparison for these two
Absolutely epic, right there at the end...."I will never throw a turbo or a super charger on a Harley Davidson, I'd just buy something else!" Foreshadowing into your new Road King with a Trask kit..... Love the content man!
ASSUME away! Do your home work before you say you're gonna critique a bike.
Loud pipes save egos
Hey Sean, I think it's more up to the dealership if they let you test ride the CVO bikes, I was allowed to test ride my CVO Prostreet Breakout before buying it, they didnt even go with me. Maybe I'm completely wrong, but that was how it went down when i bought mine.
So cool! That is my neck of the woods, great to see my favorite internet bike guy crushing my neighborhood!
That’s a good thing about my local dealer. They let you test ride by yourself.
I'm 16 at 6 foot 3 what I'm wanting to start on a cruiser but I don't know which one I should go with
Just go sit on and ride a bunch of them. Don't get hung up on the name or fancy stuff on the bike. Find one that fits you good and is comfortable.
@@curtis1951 thank you for the advice
@@marshallhooker6868
Yep. Don't worry about the small stuff. Small stuff can be changed. If it fits you and is comfortable then it'll be safer and more enjoyable. You'll have more fun on it and want to keep it longer.
Just watch the srk video on bikes for tall big guys.
get the most expensive, that way when you crash you can yell YOLO at the top of your lungs and it actually means something
Bought mine in March took off on my june tour run bike has little over 12,000 miles I added Corba RPT slip on with a corba fuel processor enough power for me its a Bug killin big Face Grinnin Machine an gets around 44 mpg
What kind of recording equipment are you using, it’s really clear,very little wind in the mic.
I’m asking because I was looking into helmets with a incorporated mic for the phone etcetera, but the reviews were you couldn’t really hear anything over 40 mph.
Great video!
Sean your graphic at time stamp 0:25 says Displacement of 1746cc then it shows the intake that says 114ci? 1746cc is equal to 106.5ci so for 114ci your graphic should have said 1868cc
16.4 cc per cubic inch
Couldn’t agree more on the pipes front.
Loud pipes save lives is a cop out. Training and education save lives. If someone catches you out and pulls out on you, it’s not because they didn’t hear you, it because you weren’t prepared for them to do it.
My moms fiance 'I think i spelt that write' had that bike him and me loved that bike
How is loud pipes save lives not true,, If you’re riding an electric motorcycle vs a motorcycle with loud exhaust which one do you think surrounding vehicles will here first,
I LOVE the 114. I hope they make it available in the Low Rider
Agreed but you can work on the 107 and get some more performance out of it.
2020 lowrider S coming 114
Simply “ loud”..?! No..!? It’s got to have the right kinda “ loud”.. ie Thunderheader loud 😎
I WILL be getting a road king special at some point in the next year or two. Such a beautiful bike. Absolutely in love with them.
1746 cc is the 107 not the 114
If you buy a hd u will likely nvr leave that brand. Their dealer network is 2nd to none...
Same kinda road king I was looking at over at my local harley davidson dealership it's a awesome bike loud but rides smooth
Frazier’s H-D, great dealer. You can tell by all the posters who recognized it right away.
Gear indicators are equivalent to training wheels. Ignore the indicator for a day and you'll subconsciously pay attention. It's like learning to type.
Louder pipes alerts people that you are there. Straight pipes or baffle removed pipes annoys the shit out of everyone even other motorcycle riders, scares the crap out of everyone when you blast by, kind of counter productive if they want to hurt you because your making so much unnecessary noise. There probably giving you the attention you desperately need.
I've got a 19' SGS in Billiard Blue and the 114 is great, and I'd argue in the real world, as fast as you would ever need a bike, given the limiter at 112mph.
Well I will say that I do believe loud pipes contribute to saving lives wouldn't say they do. Because of this fact what if someone isn't paying attention in their car would they see you on your bike first or hear it first. They'd definitely head you first. But that's just my opinion on it.
No verse prepared? John 3:16! Was always my go to with my small groups in college lol
John 3:16 is the Maria Magdalena of bible verses. Everyone's had a go.
I did the stage 2 and rineharts slip on. Sounds really cool
Had a 110 CVR Road Glide… tue right leg to beef jerky.
Is the 114 cooler?
You’ll never see him throw a turbo or supercharger on a Harley….. then you turbo your road king hahahahaha
You’ll never see him throw a turbo or supercharger on a Harley….. then you turbo your road king hahahahaha
Loving your content. Are battery bikes or hydrogen bikes the future?
I would never throw a supercharger or turbo charger on a Harley hahaha three years later.
I absolutely love my RKS! Smoothest Harley out there.
I agree. I have a 2017 107 SGS with a Stage 2 High Performance cam and test rode a 2019 114 RKS yesterday at a demo day. Absolutely enjoyed it!!!! So smooth. Needs a windshield for long distance, interstate rides but so smooth; great power just from stock. I have to go test ride a newer SGS and RGS just to see the difference in the rides compared to the RKS.
I own a 19 FLHRXS with 114ci (Road King Special) I love my loud pipes. I know this is anecdoteI.. but while riding they are not that loud but if I really get on it and wrap throttle people pay more attention then when I hit more horn. In fact I dont even use more horn any more. As soon as I see a situation about to occur, I wrap my throttle and people pay attention. I hit more horn and they continue to pull out in front of me or cut me off. I also live in florida where nobody pays attention in traffic and you have to be an aggressive driver here or get ran over and or hit. People hear a motorcycle engine and think twice here in florida. People hear a horn in florida and keep pulling out or proceed to cut you off intentionally.
In trying to decide between the road king and road glide. It pretty much came down to an I going to do super long road trips and 90% of my riding is in town. So I’m starting to lean more towards the road king
If I want quiet and smooth I’ll ride a Vespa
Where's the walk around?
2021 heiabussa ^^ improved and less hp
Yes the men at SRK can spell test ride...but then you blow it and say test drive....praying for ya...not really Gods kinda busy and this is trivial.
ha ha yes, praying isn't going to to anything for anyone.
@@jjjpetersen well triple j lets agree to disagree.
The thing I don't like about Harley is that they carry over known engineering flaws decade after decade. I know guys with Milwaukee 8's who have had nothing but trouble from day one. The new 2020 Indian has a fixed fairing, water cooled, 108ci., 120hp., Power Plus motor. Excited to take a look at it.
Hi Sean, greetings from the UK. Great channel. I brought a 2020 RKS in December 2021. My only transport all year round. Does everything I need and does it all well. A real practical work horse and can't find anything I don't like about it. Might fit heated grips for next winter but that's all. I love it. Take it easy.
This guy's jaw dropped when I was the one that rode off with my buddies new 883 Iron. The whole time I was there they never asked if I was interested in anything. Maybe it was the button up pink shirt and the Sperry's? Needless to say I bought my FXDR else where.
Never see me put a turbo on hd nekk minute😂
I watched all your videos on bike reviews lol. I actually chose my sportster because of your reviews haha. I appreciate all your honesty. Good bless!
Hi from Italy ...can I ask u if is more nimble or "better" this then road king classic ?
What your choice if I can know ? Tax sir
Don’t knock modified minivans,go check out Bisimoto’s 1000 HP Honda Odyssey, manual transmission daily.
I am in the group that does not like loud pipes. I prefer to be stealthy. Like the late great Seymour Goldfarb, Jr (heir to the Goldfarb fortune) opined “...why draw attention?”
"You'd never see me through a supercharger or a turbocharger on a Harley Davidson." Proceeds to through a leaf blower on a Harley.
Beautiful bike. I am so accustomed to a TC 88 that a fuel injected 114 would probably blow my mind. I would like a deep rumble out of the exhaust. Nice video.
Thank you. I would never buy a wheezing lipstick on a pig bike after watching this video. Saved me 32K CDN
Very nice, I just don't like the throttle by wire. Knowing how Harley won't look at or carry parts for their own bikes after so many years, I look to the future of hardness to repair certain issues.
Dearer and dearer and dearer,also although there is a lot of changes I would imagine Harley's Tooling costs would only be a gradual increase so I guess sky high costs would be of the labour cost and non ridings uncaring shareholder's.
Man I love them road kings I'm a little old school so I like chrome I own an 03 classic if I have anything to do with it I'll never get rid if it but maybe a possible up grade or a newer bike
Hey Sean, just bought the 2021 FLHRXS like the one here over weekend, this vid helped me decide! Thanks
You parked in the no parking access zone between two disabled parking spaces. Not cool.
I parked where the harley man told me to park . And it was very cool
I agree all that noise sometimes get tiring
"You will never see me turbo charge a harley davidson"...
This did not age well 😂😂
As many people do not know Kawasaki owns Harley and has influenced the engineering probably for the better.
I really want this bike.
You should look into Yamaha Royal Star, those bikes are big too and you'll pay way less for the bike and maintenance
Great vid. Loud pipes DO save lives. Whisper something, then yell it. See what happens.
Loud pipes can save your life
anyone know how much HP the 103 and 114 motors have? I can only find torque specs
I don't think it matters how good a bike it is that black head light just ruins it , it just not look like a Road King
