I just bought the 2019 Heritage 114. Absolutely love it. Great bike. Handles unbelievably great. Super comfortable and I’m a big man.
Just bought the Vivid Black 2020
Heritage Classic 114. Traded my 2013 Sportster XL1200 Custom. Man, new bike is night and day. The Heritage FLHCS is comfort, and the Milwaukee 8 engine is power. That retro 1940's police bike look is so fricken cool. Well worth the money, and got a great deal on buying new at the Greenville SC dealership !!!👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸100% to the Yes on this bike !!!
Not a Harley rider, but man do I enjoy watching all these test rides. You deserve so many more subscribers!
Man, these reviews are brilliant. Hope you get a shit ton of new subscribers!
I test road a 2017 Heritage and the one thing I took away from it is that it is super easy to just get on a ride all day.
Good to see back out on the test route mark 😁
Blockhead well done sir you're on top of your game with these reviews.
I have a 2013 103 Heritage, and I am looking to upgrade to this version hopefully in a few months. I will definitely take one for a ride on demo day as our local dealers do not do test rides.
Never been much of a bigger bike type of person, but it looked really good without the windshield. Cool bike!
Aaron Green
thats always been my attraction to the Heritage (I have a 2007) you cant take the windshield and bags off and basically have a fatboy/ deluxe but if you are taking a long trip you can have a bagger
The bike sure sounds nice and smooth running!
well done its starting to make me think abit different now bro!! about the new line up!!
I just bought one of these! Lovin it. Mine has the 107 though.
There's something with your videos that always makes me fall asleep watching them... Must be the beautiful sound coming from the Harleys but not sure haha!
I do not own a motorcycle, but! I love this bike! It is really a beaut! Looks tons of fun to ride!
Heritage beautiful than ever.
That's a masterpiece. Hd makes great stuff...
To disable the cruise, you can also roll the throttle forward from the throttles idle position.
This is my dream bike, and I just purchased one last December. Coming from an 06’ Vulcan 900 and an 07’ boulevard c90. The Vulcan had something like a 32-34 degree lean, and I LOVED scraping my boards on it, slow or fast. I’ve only scraped on the heritage once, and that was just the other day. (Only been riding it since the beginning of April). The lean is 28 left, 27 right. I scraped on the right, haha. I’m 5’6, 5’7.5 in my boots and fit this bike perfectly.
Blockhead you always giggle when you open up the throttle lol 😂
I was hoping someone would mention that. Most of the sales guys don't even know that. Lol!
If you've had a Harley, you have to ride the '18 Softail to understand how sweet a ride it is. I've had a couple Harley's and they did not handle that well, the 2018 Heritage does handle well. Like he said, its a nice, comfortable ride. One thing to note, the Heritage shock adjustment is under the seat and requires the Harley wrench. The Fatboy's adjustment is a knob you can adjust on the outside. No pun intended!
Mad Max-ish 😆 Those headlights and signals are ah-ight! That windshield makes it eerily quiet. Noticing the stock pipes for the 2018's are very silent. Looking forward to you unlocking more XBOX achievements!
07:20 I think that is a poor design by Harley that when you lay into it, the speedometer goes blurry. They should fix that.
HD doesn't make video cameras...
Ok now one year since this comment is made, H-D fixed already the issue.
grayboo212 my 19 doesn’t do that.
Mark LaFollett I really hope you aren’t serious
He blured the speedometer because he didn't want to show people like the police, & others that he's reckless.
It's funny, you blur the speedometer for mild speeding but went through most if not all the stop signs.
Very nice bike!
God those are beautiful machines
I have a 2020 Heritage Classic V107 in vivid black. I totally love the bike & I was gonna go for the 114 but I wanted the chrome.
Apparently the power difference is negligible. Maybe 3-5hp difference and same with torque I think
Looks sounds and appears like a very much improved model by HD, over the earlier models...
Good video mate, this is easily my favourite bike of the new line up. I had a 2016 softail deluxe, but traded it to grab a last of the line '72. (always loved the 72, had to have one, found one brand new and had to have it - a pure want purchase) if I get room in the garage, one of these in vivid black or black/olive gold will be mine, oh yes, it will be mine! 😈
Great reviews on the Harleys. I have been watching many of your test ride videos. They're great. Any chance doing a test ride on the Indian Chief Dark Horse? Just subscribed to your channel.
If i was able to ride a 2 wheeler the heritage i would buy i love the way it looks
You can also roll the throttle forward to cancel cruise control
This bike just might be in my future
The preferred way to deactivate the cruise control is to twist the throttle forward...
VERY NICE BIKE
Great video...
i dream of this exact bike!!
Hey Aaron, do you think is ok for a 6 feet guy? I felt a little cramped on my Street Glide, even with a 10" handlebars. Thanks a lot.
How tall are you. Just curious to know how tall you are to compare where you said the wind hits.
Wish that was my local dealership. I have one about 45 minutes away. They are cool. But not as cool as those guys seem. As always, awesome video. :)
"Harley is getting rid of the quick detach stuff." that would be a huge mistake, being able to go from a bagger to a sleek cruiser is a big part of the H-D appeal.
The 2018 Heritage is awesome, took me some time to get used to some of the cosmetic changes. Although, right away I liked the blacked out parts.
Dude also you may roll forward on the accelerator to disable the cruse control. All Harley cruse control bikes are equipped that way....
Great Ride review of the new '18 Heritage SC...thanks for sharing, would it possible for you to do the same review on the Road King Special?
Any chance of gettin a road king test ride, comparing it to the heritage?
I would consider owning one of these. Afraid HD guy has his facts wrong at 13:19. 2018 heritage classic has 27.3/28.5 degree lean angles. The fat bob dyna fxdf for example had 30/31 degree lean stock. Sure it handles great though.
I am old ..Lol so I like chrome glad here in 2020 the offer that option again. Like the fully clear windscreen better as well..but I'm old.
Love your reviews! Please test the Ultra Limited. My choice for a future tourer.
Daniel Eggert I don't think baggers are his thing lol. But if you're looking for a fully loaded tourer, you can't go wrong with the limited
Ive never had any interested in a bigger bike like this until i saw this review. That thing looks like it hauls all the balls. Couple mods here and there and i feel like i could use this over my 48 lol
+OMACMedicFiveZero Cool to hear the test ride helped!
It sure does move. It surprised me. I didn't think a big bike like that had guts..Hang on tight. Seriously, hang on tight. It's a BEAST.
How are the mirrors on the Heritage Softail? Looks like you might have the same issue we have with the Iron 883 where all you can see are your shoulders and arms. It also looks like swapping and turning the mirrors upsidedown isn't an option on the Heritage because of the tank.
Try the Softail slim next!
Just traded in my 2013 Heritage for this bike. It is awesome. That is all haha
Very very nice 👍🏻
If you worried if it fit a smaller person they can install a lowering kit on them
They should have quick release bags..it is a softtail?
Cool bike
I've seen so many videos of the 2019 heritage and all of them have the 114 . I got the blue and white with the 107 and people tell me I should have gotten the 114 that my 107 will not be good on a long trip . Asking your thoughts .
Man I want one.
Saw one today seriously thinking about it?
Thanks!!! any chance of a Deluxe?
I have drempt of owning a Harley since I was 14 but never had the money. Now I have the cash sorry but it looks like they are going to be priced out of my range again. So it really looks like a Triumph for me something that won't look out of place beside the T140v I've
had since 82.
Buy used..But check prices everywhere.
Get the screaming eagle tuner and reflash feels 25% more power!
How many stop signs did you run? I lost count!
as Mork the Tuba Biker and Junixophobia G asked
Are those tubless tires?
Also to shut the cruise control off just rule the throttle forward in a quick motion.
They shift better with 80w90 gear oil, imo 20w50 is to thin in summer...
Smart move....blur out the speedometer when you need to ;) Thanks for the video and commentary. I'm doing my research on getting a bike soon. I have to pay off some bills then looking at a Honda Fury, Yamaha Raider, and Harley Fatboy. Thanks.
He blured the speedometer because he didn't want to show people like the police, &others that he's reckless.
Did you change your video format? Some won't play anymore.
Kind of ironic that you blanked out the speedo but left in the parts where you blew through the stop signs. ;-)
The can get a ticket and little kids are watching the odometer has to b blocked out.
I’d like to know what you think about the Slim. It’s the only softail you haven’t reviewed.
nice bike
Not a fan of the 18s. What happened to the sissy bar? The new colors, UGH? Don't see parting with my 17 FLSTC any time soon especially with the issues plaguing the M8 motor. One guy I know is on his third M8 motor this year on his 17 Ultra.
I think you should give A-A-Ron a mic as well. it’s hard to hear him at times. I really need to max out the volume to hear him clearly.
Don't need to blip throttle when down shifting big V twins
Have you tested the cover street glide yet?
Do dealerships generally have a laid out route for test drives? Can you request a certain route? What can a person expect from a typical test drive?
Thinking about buying my first bike. Was offered a test drive. Just want to know what I can expect
Forrest Culver most will have a set route. I have a couple different ones I do depending on the person I'm taking out. If you aren't comfortable on the road I would definitely let them know. At our dealership we have a test range where we do the endorsement class. That's where I take first time riders to get the feel of the bike before going on the Road.
i'm a 18 years old girl, i don't even have the car license yet, but i feel like this bike is the chosen one, if i'll ever have the money to get one. is this a good beginner bike?
I think the reason why the deluxe was discontinued is because it’s identical to the heritage in terms of looking like it’s from the 50s or 60s styles of bikes.
Have you had a chance to try the new low rider cheers
Hey Block, any 2018 Street Bob test ride coming up???
George Michael We haven't gotten any of the 18 street bobs or Lowriders in yet. As soon as we do I'm sure we'll set something up
Aaron Rashal Awesome!!!
I love that/my bike.
Great review I'm a beginner writer I want to get a Harley what would you suggest I like the fat boy
Are lockable fuel caps available?
I've noticed that Harley has moved away from the hydro clutch. I am happy about that.
Harley Dave yeah I agree. Easier to maintain. They also have a new style clutch line that's WAY easier to adjust
I have to constantly lube my HDs clutch for a light feel. I also ride Goldwings and appreciate the hyd clutch.
Cool bike dude. What say you to the fact that not only did they get rid of Dina. But the new looks like a soft tale but porforms like Dina bikes don't do the famous potato potato thing.
A-aron, how does it work for a test ride but with little ride experience/permit? Also, does harley provide gear?
Supreme Hail We have helmets, you just need pants and shoes. If you have the endorsement we can go a demo ride in your comfort level. If you're new to riding we have a test range so you can get the feel of things.
Are those spoked wheels running tubed or tubeless tires?
Mork the Tuba Biker tubeless.
But will his half helmet fit in saddlebag?
What about the 18 Deluxe ??
Oh gd ur one of those mohawk helmet guys?
sure would be easy to steal the wind shield...
BloodR3dWhit3AndBlu3
I own a 2007 Heritage and its the exact same windshield quick release I have on mine also the same as the Road kings. I have never heard of a windshield getting stolen. but I am sure it has happened?
BloodR3dWhit3AndBlu3 I was thinking that exact thing. Gotta be a way to lock it in. Hope so anyway. Oh, and looking forward to that Breakout test ride. Sweet!
my cover have been stolen that to cover the bike from rain and sunlight
BloodR3dWhit3AndBlu3 windsheilds are pointless
I don't own a bike but I'd steal the windshield if I saw this Harley around
Greetings from Gator Harley territory
Al
I prefer the road king 2 rear shocks and 2 front discs
Your videos turned into Orlando Hartley sales
Only worry about that screen is the lockable - anti theft side of things?
It sounded like it was stated that the Saddlebags were keyless, however it appears that there's a place to put a key. Are they really keyless, or did my ears deceive me? (Been riding all day, so it could be my old feable ears) Loving the new ride vid's Mr. Blockhead. WHile everyone else is showing and doing walk arounds, you're actually riding them!!!
Michael Casler They have a lock if you want to lock them, other wise you just press the button and they open. You don't have to have the key to open them everytime
Aaron Rashal thanks for confirming. When I heard keyless, I was imaging some keyless fob magical unlocking feature, however I get what your saying now...
You have to get a cvo for that lol
Aaron Rashal haha
Wonder why they're getting rid of the quick detach stuff...
Taz Rides They're changing to a new system they call "hold fast". It's easier to get on and off
Aaron Rashal ah ok, thank you
still would rather have mid controls and highway pegs. floorboards just aint for me lol. also wish the heritage had a cast wheel and hard bag option. but i guess that just means if im going bagger i should go road king lol.
Outlaw Rides I doubt the heritage will ever have mag wheels and the bags are hard, they're just wrapped in leather to make them look old school that way you don't have to worry about them sagging after a while
Have any of the new 2018's been good enough to make you very seriously consider trading in the Low Rider S ?
Do a new lowrider review, please!!! 😎😁
when is the 18' iron 883 review?
It'd be nice if they AT LEAST upgraded the seats.
Does anyone know whats new on the 18?
For the sportsters all they changed were the colors. The 1200 custom looks a little different but the iron is the same as the 17s.
Yeah, the Iron 833 is the same, except colors, since 2016.
Jeffrey Swiggett there isn’t a 883 the iron is a 1200 now
Hey Blockhead and Aaron,
Are the saddlebags detachable on the new Heritage?
Jean-Pierre Avakian they can be taken off but they aren't quick detach.
Enjoyed the review but must say the throttle blipping was pretty lame.
