I appreciate that they are the mechanically the same. Easier for me to justify upgrading it the way I want to, and I'll still have the rad paint job. I walked into a dealer to buy a tee-shirt and walked out with a Fast Johnnie fxlrst.
Harley Davidson should seriously offer paint matched helmets for their themed bikes. I'd love to have a blue full face helmet with racing stripes and chrome lense. Maybe a matched blue and white leather jacket as well. 🤔 Special order limited edition of course. 😉 Bagger racing is Awesome, and that style of bike Awesome as well.
The paint jobs look great in pictures but even better in person. I do wish they put the mascot on both sides of the tank though. Re: King of the Baggers, I love it. It will have me going to back to Laguna Seca for the races which I haven't don't since MOTO GP left.
Love the beginning - and the music fades at end etc. Good choice and really improves the whole impact. - awesome. You are so good at this video stuff now. Cheers.
Great review Matt and I always enjoy the history you and your Dad bring. Great stuff and great bikes. I love most of the stuff HD is doing and appreciate your insight. Thanks.
Bought the LR ST version of this a few weeks back. I had an Arctic Blast SG Special that I loved, but this bike stopped me in my tracks. As usual, looks even better in person.
Matt, Saw the Fast Johnny bikes at Latus motors in OR Sunday. Didn't know the story, so thanks. Also they sold a 121 for a rumored $60k on Sunday. Cant wait for the video!
Love this paint scheme, it’s def my favorite even over the 120th Anniversary models. My first car was a ‘69 Road Runner with two stripes on the hood - takes me back. Thanks for the video review.
A couple of weeks ago by chance caught sight of a Street Glide at the HD shop next to Wrigley Field where there floor space is rather limited. The paint is exceptional and a real treat visually. It was the only bike in the shop that grabbed my attention. Well done video as always Matt and thank you.
I'm an MSF coach and I work some weekends at a local HD dealership here in NJ. They have an FJ there and I drool every time I see it. Personally, I'd prefer a Ferrari red instead of the blue, and a much cooler, meaner looking HOG on the tank, but that's just me.
Well damn....seems they should be a numbered series. I saw one called the faster johnie and it had a 135 cubic inch Crate motor. I wish they offered that motor as an option/upgrade!!
I wouldn't buy this, but very much appreciate the style and attitude of it. I would buy something similar in a softail standard. It's great to see out of the box things like this. Also, yes, bagger racing is an oxymoron, and that's why it's cool.
I love racing in all forms. IDC if it’s mud bog racing, boats Moto GP or turtle racing. Disclaimer out of the way, I have a love hate relationship with Performance Bagger Racing. On the one hand it’s going fast, which IS racing. BUT making super bikes then adding bulbous fairings and bags on a raised chassis to then lean into corners with more weight & higher center of gravity is [oxymoronic] at best. Do I watch the races? Hell yeah. Is it kinda silly!? Oh you betcha!
If the theme and inspiration is muscle cars I simply don’t understand not upgrading to performance parts. It’s ok paint but other than that stock? Not for me. But I’m ok with that. If it makes somebody happy ride on.
Personally, the bronze accents don’t look good at all with that color, personally I think the color scheme is cool, but should’ve made it in a chrome version with chrome wheels, thats way more old school hot rod than blacked out with bronze 😮
The fast Johnnie is still the best color scheme the FXLR ST has had so far and the story behind it makes it that much cooler. They absolutely need to use that formula more often. Factory paint is notoriously boring, keeping aftermarket painters employed I guess.
Good-Day, MATT, Great looking bike's, hope Harley-Davidson keeps this colour in 2024 motorcycle year. If it happens to be. Cin-Cin and Salute 🫡 Wish that Harley would have included the Road-Glide3. That would look shape. With the York Plant being close for the last 3 weeks, what's the availability.
This is my favorite color scheme in the last 5 years for sure.
I appreciate that they are the mechanically the same. Easier for me to justify upgrading it the way I want to, and I'll still have the rad paint job.
I walked into a dealer to buy a tee-shirt and walked out with a Fast Johnnie fxlrst.
That’s an expensive tee shirt purchase. Haha. Enjoy man. Thanks for the comment.
Matt, appreciate your knowledge of history and your candor. 👍😎
Love the fast Johnny look!
Love this History Lesson I had no idea! Thanks Matt 👍🏻
Glad people appreciate the history I add to the videos!
Great looking bikes! I’ve seen them up close and they look amazing! HD knocked it out of the park with these Fast Johnnies.
I just bought the Lowrider ST Fast Jonnie and I love it.
After seeing a few in person, I like it. Probably one of my favorites.
I love my Fast Johnny ST low rider. It's fast and very easy to handle.

Love the Fast Johnny paint scheme! Thanks Matt. Later……

Matt, thanks so much for a little history of the Fast Johnny name sake, I did not know that!!
Favorite enthusiast collection so far 🔥
Beautiful Motorcycle , Love to feel the power on her 😁
LOVE the Fast Johnnie paint scheme! This would be my favorite from the H-D line of custom paint jobs.
In my teens i had a Camaro with a similar paint scheme, so i definitely love the "Fast Johnnie"
I love my Low rider st fast johnnie.
Greetings from Norway
Стильно , со вкусом ! Глаз не оторвать !
had a black 2023 ST now i have 2 x 2023 ST,s black & Blue 😍
Beautiful bike, excellent presentation and editing .
Thank you! I take pride in my editing. Thanks for the comment
I’ve owned a 1971 Ford Mustang 351Cu Mach 1…..the yellow one with the black stripes. It’s worth a lot of money in the Netherlands, right now!!!
I like it I think the pig on the tank really sets it off.
I really like the paint job. Agree they should do this ever couple of years. Too bad they don't do it on cars.
Fast Johnny Road Glide, Dominion Collection and use Blue Accents. Black Wheels, S&S 128 and You gonna be Fast Johnny for realz. Sharp looking bikes!
Sounds like a good build. Do it and send me a pic 👌🏼
Love the ALF Editions
if only the Low Rider had silver wheels ..... now that would really give it the proper muscle car look !! (hate the bronze wheels)
Love the beginning - and the music fades at end etc. Good choice and really improves the whole impact. - awesome. You are so good at this video stuff now.
Cheers.
Great review Matt and I always enjoy the history you and your Dad bring. Great stuff and great bikes. I love most of the stuff HD is doing and appreciate your insight. Thanks.
Reminds me of the yenko Camaro and its a cool idea.
Exactly
Hopefully see you in Milwaukee this weekend👍
Nice
I personally dig it and also think they should do something like this again.
Bought the LR ST version of this a few weeks back. I had an Arctic Blast SG Special that I loved, but this bike stopped me in my tracks. As usual, looks even better in person.
The Arctic blast is nice too. 👍🏼
Matt,
Saw the Fast Johnny bikes at Latus motors in OR Sunday. Didn't know the story, so thanks. Also they sold a 121 for a rumored $60k on Sunday. Cant wait for the video!
Really like them a lot A really cool looking hot Rod
Marion Indiana baby! An hour from my house. They now have a yearly rally called HogDaze in honor of the race of yesteryear. Fast Johnnie rules!
Love this paint scheme, it’s def my favorite even over the 120th Anniversary models. My first car was a ‘69 Road Runner with two stripes on the hood - takes me back. Thanks for the video review.
My favorite model yet

Chicago in the house
That paint is Nice! 🤘⚡️🤘✨✨✨
Nice video keep up the good work Matt Laidlaw
Will do! Thanks for watching
Love the color scheme
Would’ve loved to see the GI bike on a Slim. I hated HD got rid of the Reef Blue. Glad they brought the blue back on these.
"HHHEEEEEEERRRRSSSS JOHNNIE!
LOVE that intro! 👍
I have seen the RG Fast Johnny in Budapest! Very beautiful paint en layout!!
wow, what a fascinating video, loved it. Thank you.
More racing inspired paint jobs in general and make it an option. Always for the base price as it is. Come on!! Raise the standard 🙏💪
Cool history. I have been around Harley for a bit and never heard this before. #hog
I'm an MSF coach and I work some weekends at a local HD dealership here in NJ. They have an FJ there and I drool every time I see it. Personally, I'd prefer a Ferrari red instead of the blue, and a much cooler, meaner looking HOG on the tank, but that's just me.
Haha. I hear you. I think they were going for an over emphasized carton-esque pig.
Harley knocked it out of the park on this one!
Like you I don't always like the paint sets they come up with, but I really like this one. Just too bad I don't have the cash for one.
I like the bike and I love the channel
I love the paint set, a option for the future…..a M$B road king😂. Would have to be after you did your touches to his bike👌🏽
Well damn....seems they should be a numbered series. I saw one called the faster johnie and it had a 135 cubic inch Crate motor. I wish they offered that motor as an option/upgrade!!
I wish H-D would have offered this on the last of the air-cooled Sportsters.
Love the Fast Johnnie… would love to get one, just dealers are trying to get all the money. It is just paint, so I am looking for the deal.
Lovely bike matt
🛑🛑 Great Intro Matt!!
😂👍💯
Love the fast Jonny but the 45k price tag isn't worth it
LOVE IT
They should put the 150hp pan America motor in these.
I wouldn't buy this, but very much appreciate the style and attitude of it. I would buy something similar in a softail standard. It's great to see out of the box things like this. Also, yes, bagger racing is an oxymoron, and that's why it's cool.
Haha Exactly
SPEED PIG!!!!! 🐷🏁🏁
LOL! Now you need to add some racing stripes and a cartoon pig to your road king. You gotta do it.
Only thing o don’t like is the single light up front. More light the better.
I bought a LRST.
CVO streetbob

I think they should come out with a color scheme like the race team have now I think that would sell well?❤
If the theme and inspiration is muscle cars I simply don’t understand not upgrading to performance parts. It’s ok paint but other than that stock? Not for me. But I’m ok with that. If it makes somebody happy ride on.
Love the paint job and story behind the name, but thought a name like Fast Johnny should be a better performance than just an st.
The fast johnnie paint set would have made more sense on the CVO’s.
Personally, the bronze accents don’t look good at all with that color, personally I think the color scheme is cool, but should’ve made it in a chrome version with chrome wheels, thats way more old school hot rod than blacked out with bronze 😮

My local dealer in Michigan wanted $35k for the low rider 😳
Do you think Harley will ever put a 2-1 exhaust on a stock model
From the factory? Just curious. Thanks.
$2,900 for the paint... but £4,000 in the UK?!
If we are to follow musclecar ideology....they should have dropped a 131 in each bike.
Now that would have been a sweet package to put on the floor.
How can I contact you I own one and I’m doing am doing race coast to coast with one.
THEY HAVE A 135 CRATE NOW
Love the bike, but hate the color.
I paid $32,000 for my road glide johnnie
That’s a good deal.
Hope it's not called 'Fast Johnnie' in England. 🤣😂🤣
Man this Channel has been so slow lately for new videos
I usually put out 1 a week. That’s always been my schedule. I’ve missed a couple weeks here and there due to being out of town.
I like the colour but riding around with a pig on your fuel tank! Na, not for me.
Not for me...
BS... looks like something by Colani ....
Good-Day, MATT, Great looking bike's, hope Harley-Davidson keeps this colour in 2024 motorcycle year. If it happens to be. Cin-Cin and Salute 🫡 Wish that Harley would have included the Road-Glide3. That would look shape. With the York Plant being close for the last 3 weeks, what's the availability.
it looks great in person... however, a different color would have made it even better... and No, not yellow :)
