I wave at all bikes.. but more importantly, I wave at considerate cage drivers too. They seem to enjoy it.
Definitely!
I’m 31 going on 70, in love with these bikes!
Watching this at 25 years old, considering buying a ‘21 or ‘22 FLHTK, and I bought my first FLHTK a month after I turned 23. We young guys are out here too. The smart of us, anyways. 😂 My buddies can have their sore wrists on sport bikes, I’ll take the comfortable ride. ✌🏻
this is the most detailed description video I have ever seen
point out many little things that other channel didn't mention, really nice video man
I just bought my first Harley-Davidson...a '22 Ultra Limited Blacked Out. I really appreciate the direct nature of your reviews. Fair and honest. Thank you.
Thanks for doing this review. I have just started looking at getting a new bike last week, initially I was drawn to the Street Glide ST but thinking about my 12yo sitting on the back I ended up taking him for a ride on a 2020 Ultra Limited, and he loved it. It is the first big tourer I had ridden. My previous bikes have been a heavily modified '05 Sporty XLC (883 to a tyre frying 1250), a '10 WideGlide, which also got the full blown treatment and then a Stage III Vrod Muscle which was an absolute beast. None of these were suitable for two-up touring or having my kids on the back, they were weapons. The FLHTK although much heavier and different, really impressed me with its manouverability at slow speed. High speed it felt like I was in a luxury bus with the stereo blasting at 110km/h my young fella and I could hear it perfectly. I am now in the process of purchasing a 2022 FLHTK midnight crimson with blackout. No mods or extras on this one, I found it to be exactly what I wanted straight off the shop floor...... Well, at the moment anyway ;)
I have a 2017 ultra limited and I really like the hydraulic clutch. It did have a recall fix but it never was a problem. The only problem I've had was oil pump. Had to replace at 43k. At stage 2 now with S&S parts plus HD torque cam. Thing now is a hot rod
Thanks for the review…. I am looking at this model as my next bike and this is helping….Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
May have the chance to own a 2020 used (only has 5K kms on the clock) ultra limited soon. Thanks for the review mate, appreciate it. I believe that most riders refer to this particular bike as the old man's bike. Thats ok with me as I'm 63 this year, and this could be my very first harley. Stay upright brother.
Great coverage of the Ultra Limited. I really feel I can make an informed choice for my next bike purchase. Thanx man!
Glad it helped! Thanks for the kind words.
Test rode a 2018 Honda Gold Wing DCT yesterday, and I cannot fully express my *reverence* for the *solid ride of my FLHR* after that experience. Quite the eye opener. NEW SUB
I've never ridden a Gold Wing but would love to do so to compare the experience. Thanks for the sub. MUCH appreciated.
gold wings... decent machine but...No soul ...no character or personality. No heartbeat like a harley. I worked for a Honda dealer yrs ago. Rode them. No thanks.
Love my Ultra as well and not just for touring. You mentioned people falling asleep on the bike. Made me laugh. My grandson would fall asleep nearly every day as I rode him home from school from kindergarten clear through his sixth grade year. It was adorable and people on the street smiled and took pictures of the cute little bugger slumped over in his seat. And for those who are safety Nazis, I have a backrest so he was not only surrounded by that big seat but sort of secured in there with the backrest between his legs.
Man those will be some great memories for both of you!
I rode Shovelhead's for years then my first Heritage in 1994. My second Heritage in 2010 and now as of 5.13.2021 a new Tri Glide Ultra. Great ride. Call me old cause I am. 69 years old and now I am going to enjoy my last years riding with a. radio and trike comfort. I have as of 6.3.2021 almost 400 miles on my break in.
Keep them great videos coming Brother, gear vids. Are cool, just keep bringing us those beautiful HD. Cycles 😁👌
I got an 89 softail custom with an evo and I love it, but finally broke down and will be picking up 21 ultra limited in snake venom, can't wait. One thing on 89 is the sound, man I just love it.
I went to a dealership today to see the new CVO Limited. Wow! That’s the prettiest bike I’ve ever seen come from the factory.
I just bought the exact same bike a couple weeks ago! Only test rode it so nice to see a video about it! I wave at all bikers and some cagers too! Been riding a Fatboy for 20yrs so I was impressed by the feel of the Ultra, tight turns and fast corners or easy!
I had been riding an 03 Fatboy as well (bought it new and still have it); bought a 2020 Ultra Limited and now the wife won't even look at the Fatboy. Ungrateful B&%#$ lol
Just bought this today in the Billiard Red/Vivid Black. Haven't ridden in 11 years. Very excited!
Awesome bike! Congrats!
Thanks for your well introduced. I owned BMW GSA 1250 and HD 48 but it would be the right time to update to CVO Ultra Limited after watching your great and cool vids.

Ordered gauntlet gray bike your riding waiting for it to come in love it
I absolutely love my Ultra Limited, I love taking it on road trips to Northern Michigan to the U.P and camping along the way, would love to plan a cross country trip.
Awesome video
What year you got?
I ordered mine last weekend. Vivid Black / Black. Can't wait for spring.
Just buy one today!!! 🤘
Ultra limited 2021 full black
Getting mine Tuesday Oct 7th. This is my first Road Glide (Limited).I’m movingly from a 2016 Road King.
What an amazing bike! Love watching the ride parts most about your videos and this one was just awesome! I would get this exact model and outfit it with a quick detach. No way am I getting rid of the Road King so I guess I’m going to have to start selling my kidneys or something lucrative.
The H-D ultra limited is lovingly known as "The Geezer Glide"! I can understand why. It's an opulently accesorized bike for seniorriders.🏍️🤓 Doug
I’m getting back into riding. I have not owned a HD. I have ridden a couple. I am leaning towards a Sportster 1200. I really like the look of the roadster. Ty for all the content. These do help in decision making process when looking around. 👍
The Roadster is one of my favorite Sportster models. I wish they still made them. I guess you've heard by now but the 1200 Iron goes away for 2022 also. If you are looking at used look at the "72", also a favorite of mine.
I enjoyed your review of the Ultra Limited. Im looking to buy a new Harley. I have a 2003 Electra Glide Police Special. Im looking at new Harleys today.
I'm 36 and just bought a 2022 blackout out reef blue ultra... totally worth it.
Yes, the placement of the GoPro is working well now. I like that bike. I have a 2020 Limited. I just put Stage 2 on mine. I’m really having a blast on it.
Is the tour pack removable?

What I like about this channel is that you let us hear all those sounds when riding the bike.
I didn't notice much post-processing, which for me personally, is great. It's so relaxing to watch your videos. Good job.
Thanks for the sub and the kind words. Only gain adjustment in my post production.
Slow speed that's were the cable clutch cames in handy !
Exactly!
Great bike, dream bike, i wish i could afford it and give to my dad as a christmas gift.
Hey you've got a goal, nothing between you and it except a little hard work!
Love the color!
I love the look of the bike, I just wish the infotainment screen was higher on the dash.
Beautiful!
Gorgeous bike
I want that bike!! I'm currently riding a 1998 ultra
I just bought the blacked out gauntlet grey street glide special and loving it. I also wave to Harley riders and wave back to sport bikes but adventure bike riders almost never wave so I don’t wave. I just think that they don’t like Harley riders.
I have a 2016 Ultra Classic, I had a lot of trouble with the hydraulic clutch at slow speeds due to a very hard pull, so I picked up a Oberon clutch lever that has 8 selectable position settings. This allows me to adjust the friction zone wherever I want it. The company is in the UK, and it takes a few weeks to get it, but it's so worth it @ $110 American I paid for mine. if you do a lot of around town or slow maneuvers it's priceless. It's CNC machined from billet aluminum, and they make it for almost every year and make for Harley.
I don't know if I've ridden that particular brand but I'm familiar with that style. I agree 100% it's a game change over the life of the bike.
I know this is as old comment, but in case someone stumbles across it in the future I want to give another endorsement of the Oberon levers. I had a 2019 with the hydraulic clutch. I try to take a Ride Like a Pro class on any bike I own and with the hydraulic clutch I had to sit out some exercises to give my hands a break because of pain in my joints (getting old sucks). After the class I got Oberon levers and it was a game changer!
With that said we just signed the papers on a 2021 and I'm stoked that it has a cable clutch.
I’m gonna look into that. I just bought a ‘17 limited. My clutch takes A LOT of effort
Just ordered my first HD. Now if winter would go away. I can go pick it up.
NICE! What did you get?
@@throttleblip9854 21 Road Glide Limited grey.
Just bought my 2021 limited I have a cross county ride coming up this summer and i can't wait its the best bike I have owned
Is the tour pack removable?
@@cuzimaluzer777 mine is
I’ve got the 2020 Ultra Limited and love it. A major step up from my trade-in bike Kawasaki Voyager. Next time though just click the info button once on the touch screen to open the digital speed view - way better than the radio station screen 👍
Good tip on that digital speedometer screen; thanks
Just bought ultra limited midnight crimson from Bert's HD here in tampa
I wave to every rider I see, regardless of the bike they’re on
I dig it!
I do appreciate your videos. Considering a street glide cvo but also want the ultra limited since my wife finds the passenger seat more comfortable. Like you said, couch on wheels.
You need a two up bike. This is much better than the street glide for that
I just bought mine tonight 🤪
I think you should review the latest Harley apparel.
Great video thanks. Can I ask why did Harley drop this model on the 2022 CVO spec. I just can’t understand their thinking on it.
Yep, I do nod or signal back to any rider
It really is an awesome looking bike. I am terrified to start riding motorcycles lol.
Ya please do a video on the radio man I need a course on that. Unless you did already
I do the wave but for some sport bikes I wait until they do as in the past I waved and they ignored.....Thanks
Does this have the same suspension as the Street Glide special and Road Glide Special ?
You mentioned this touring bike has the best suspension for long trips .
Like the bike , but definitely want removable touring pack and smaller smoked windshield .
I'm getting a 22 nxt week, trading my 18 road king in.
Would live to see first leather review
I've been wanting to do this for a while. This was what I needed to make that happen! I'll get one next week for you.
Streetglide vs a Roadglide, I prefer a Roadglide in the looks dept. When it comes to the limited, The Roadglide doesn't look good to me with a tourpack and the high windscreen. I prefer the look of the Ultra Limited toured out.
I wave (either start the wave or wave back i am not picky) to all makes/modles of bikes.
Great bike but here are a few things bothered me....they took the chrome trim and lights off the fenders, they removed the pin striping completely, removed the heal shifter ?????? And why did they go back 10 years with bringing back the clutch cable ????
Hey there, Could you do a follow up video in the shop please? I am wanting to see you sitting on the bike off the kickstand. I would like to know your inseam and how you touch the ground with your feet. I would like to see how your arms/hands are when on the grips and would like to see if you are looking through or over the shield.
In the video if you could tell me (us) if you owned the Ultra Limited, would you change the shocks or seat to do long trips?
I am asking all this as I am 5' 5" and a fair bit heavier then you and need to know roughly what it would be like owing the bike. My current non HD cruiser, I find my hands are way to low compared to my shoulders (need taller bars), the factory fox shock is wonderful on the bike but the seat puts my butt to sleep 40-45 mins in to a ride so it starts to hurt so I need a better seat. I just want to know if I could ride a season with everything stock or if I need to get stuff added in to the deal if I trade for the 2022 Ultra Limited.
PS... great video, would have been nice to have the camera pointed up just enough to see the grips and up. Thank you.
Those fairings are closed up for cooling, was heat an issue?
Good Video
Glad you enjoyed
Hi John here nice but for a touring bike.i would take a honda goldwing from 2001 to 2010 then 2012 to 2017 hands down can't beat that flat six cylinder
Hi, I am 54 and just gonna get my first HD. I am considering either the Street/Road Glide or the Ultra.
All great choices. If you have your motorcycle license, go ride them all. That's the best way to really know!
Wave to everyone don’t be a snob. 😎🏍💨💨💨💨💨👍🏻🇨🇦
Even Canadians? jk A bikes a bike. Even sport bikes.
I wave at everybody. The riders I notice not waving back the most are the wanna be tough guy/born to be wild types. I ride a Road King but wear proper protective gear and helmet. I honestly think that is one of the reasons those types don't wave back. I consider myself a motorcyclist, not a "biker".
I agree, wave!
Love this color combo. Can't decide if I want to stay with the Ultra Limited or go back to the Road Glide Limited.
What year is your Ultra?
@@throttleblip9854 ‘15, and it’s beyond perfect condition. I keep going going back and forth from a new Limited, to a RGL, to just keeping what I have and maybe changing/adding a few things.
Did you compare this HD with a new model Goldwing?
It has the RDRS
New limited owner here. Need some insight or suggestions on helmets. I’m interested in helmets with Bluetooth and intercom so that my wife and I can listen to music and talk back and forth. Any suggestions? If that was you speaking while you were riding, the clarity in your audio was phenomenal.
Packtalk bold works amazing
wow~~~good
TRES BELLE MOTO
That would be the one for me
I'm telling you, Greg that bike is hard to beat. It does it all.
@@throttleblip9854 I wonder why the bars are not internal wired on the UL, but are internal wired on the RGL? Also, for me, I would rather the tour pak without the luggage rack, for a cleaner look. It should be a option to include it or not.
I have a 2006 Suzuki GSX-R600 and i wave regardless of the bike that passes. Feel as if its disrespectful when i dint get a wave back. As much as I've been a Harley fan since i was a child, i get a lot of harley rider's that flip me off.
This or the new 2021 Goldwing? I'm tired of my sportbike.
I love the bike. I’m 33 and probably getting this exact color because of the few extras you get compared to the street glide. Then just take off the back tour pack.
Question, is the lower wind blocker (idk what it’s called) removable too?
No, don’t think so, they have the radiators in them for the liquid cooling.
@@jhs7947 hmm ok thank you. That’s something to keep in mind as I prefer a bike without that
I'm 36 and just bought a 2022... we're catching on..lol
I do the wave
Same!
I have an 07 ultra with a thunderheader. I want to get a 2022 limited and keep it stock with the exception of the pipes. Thoughts about exhaust for this bike. 2 into 1? Screaming eagle? third party?
I like pipes that make power. I like a 2 into 1 and usually a shorter one but for this bike I’d prob do one from D&D. The borezilla has a good sound to it. Or it did on the twin cam I can’t be sure I’ve heard it on the m8.
Cool bike. How hard/easy is it to reach the radio on a Ultra Limited as compared to a Road Glide Limited?
The radio sits much closer so touch screen is easy. On the RG Limited or RG in general I end up using the controls on the bars.
@@throttleblip9854 Thanks
I always wave
I wave at all riders. Doesn’t matter who they are. As long as it’s 2 wheels
Good man!
Halogen turn signals
Incandescent
Yea I'll wave back to anybody but not the first!!
My wife would fall asleep on the back of my 09FLHTCU (at least she wasn’t pregnant at the time ;p). We have a 18 Durango, I love the body style(some body styles are times). (I wave 1st always(even to cyclist(2wheelLOVE)). Thank you.
I’d watch your gear vids...
How is this bike with potholes and bumps? Is it smooth?
Def the best Harley for roads like that. Beefy suspension and solid frame. However if you can, I always suggest people upgrade suspension. Not just for bumps but it corners so much better with a tuned setup.
@@throttleblip9854 so I sold my Sportster 883 and put a deposit on a 2021 Street Bob at a Harley Dealer in MA, but never rode one..I feel weird asking to test ride a motorcycle (don't know why,just do though) but anyways I'm buying it this week and That was the one thing I was curious about it because I can't find anyone online that really talks about that. But if it was not good I'm sure you would have pointed that out. I'm traumatized by how bad bumps and pothole are on my 883..so it's important that it feels good...thanks for the post back!your videos are really good man!
What are those things at knee height?
They are called lowers. They house the radiators for the liquid cooled heads. They also keep the wind off of you when its cold and hold the heat in when its hot haha
@@throttleblip9854 Thanks! A mate just bought an Ultra Limited and were trying to find info on them! So they're not subwoofers for the sound system then 😅
Incidental music isn’t a copy right violation
I have been a Harley owner for over 50 years or more. The Cable clutch is a step way backwards, In the last two years Harley has been cutting corners to save money. Harleys are way over priced: how can they send bikes all the way from Japan for 30 to 40% less money???
miss the sound of the 60's Harley, this one sounds like a Honda
I wave
I stopped waving at Harley riders because they almost never wave back. I have no idea why.. personally I love all bikes Idk what their problem is. I love your videos maybe tilt the camera up just a little so we see more of the road and less of the fuel tank
Yeah some of those guys have an unwarranted "I'm better because I'm on a Harley". So bizarre to me. Thanks for the love. On the newer stuff I've moved to a hemet mount but still tweaking things.
@@throttleblip9854 I like all bikes. Btw there's plenty of plastic on a Harley too
I wave back to anyone.
Yeah I don’t wave first but I always respond
I wave although I ride a Harley I wave to all motorcyclists
yes, thank you, James, not to be a dick but I wave at everyone( but scooters ), why does this guy not initiate waves.
He is not a 1 % so don't act thug
Awesome bike that we would love to put someone on! Give us a call at 864-224-1531 and mention this video!
Personally I HATE the cable clutch!
My 21 RG Limited in the first 1000 miles I have had to loosen the clutch YES I said loosen the clutch!
I thought cable clutch should have to be tightened as the cab stretched?
And adjusting the clutch is not an easy job since it has to be done at the clutch with absolutely no adjustments in the cable at all!
Piss poor design Harley!!!!!
Idididiididududu
I'd like to see a true liquid cooled Harley. They could drop the displacement, add a shitload of horseys and maybe make a bike you didn't have to " upgrade " I say fix all Harley f%%k ups. That said I've road Harleys for 40 + years. But recently I had a Kawasaki that was just a better bike. Me being who I am I sold it and bought another Harley but I'm the base that for some reason Harley thinks i cant grow and expect Harley to follow better tech.
Well it will be interesting to see how the new Revolution motor does. Liquid cooled and I've read it is supposed to make 145hp out of the box. I get that the Pan America won't fit everyones taste or riding style but it births a new motor that we get to see what Harley can make happen.
@@throttleblip9854 agree but maybe they'll finally develop the engine they've been thinking about since the early 80s .I'd love to see it.
Warming up a engine was a necessity , until Henry Ford's engineers figured it out in the 1920's . ;) that was 100 years ago . and it seems your generation is winning in the ugly color division. greys and charcoal rule these days . yuk
So are you reviewing or just another UA-cam salesman.
