Huge leaps forward (FINALLY!!!) for HD. I think the pressure from Indian-Polaris is paying off for everyone. Plus the price point is exciting. I'll probably look at the 2025 or 2026 models in the future when I buy a forever bike, right now I'm tossing around my 04 Fatboy and will continue to do so for a few more years. I've ridden my buddies Electra Glide (same fairing style as the Street Glide) and I've test ridden another buddies older Road Glide ST and I have to say I really enjoy the RG fairing, steering is a LOT lighter. Wind also doesn't hit quite as hard with the RGs fairing. 80 MPH on the highway on the RG vs the SG, pretty big difference in my opinion. I felt more with the SG. I also became a huge fan of the heel shifter on my Fatboy but it took some time to get used to, now instead of scuffing up my boots I just tap the heel, and for me finding neutral seems a lot easier with the heel for some reason.
Ive been riding Harley baggers since 2017. At first the heel shifter was weird. Once you get used to that and heated grips, its a must have. Love the new design. I have a 21 road glide limited, and love it.😮
Greetings from France! Thank you so much for this first ride video. Love it! One of the best I have seen so far! I purchased a Fat Boy 2023 a year ago and I was planning on keeping it for at least two years... until I showed up at the Harley dealership for a test ride of this superb Road Glide 2024 this morning. OMG! I had the exact same sensations as you describe in your video. It's a heavy bike but you don't feel it and it's so fun and so easy to ride. As much as I like the Fat Boy, I am just about to resell it to purchase this Road Gilde... in Sharkskin Blue! Long live Harley Davidson!
Awesome video! Now that you tried the Harley, I'd love to see you do a video on the Indian Challenger. Since you're not the "typical bagger rider" it would be great to see your comparison of the two direct competitors!
You should do a Spyder F-3S not the touring model! I thought my ridding days were over after I had a bad stroke. My balance is almost gone. But the Spyder don’t require balance. Love mine, I’m back on the road!!! Wind therapy is real!!! That headlight is awesome.
Dude, I test road one in in May, in a state I don't live in. When I got home, I called a couple dealers, put a down payment on the color I wanted, and bought it with my AMEX card! My only issue with the bike is that I wish I had time to ride it more! Hope you bought it too!
OC definitely you should do a first ride on a street glide. I've been looking at both the SG and RG for sometime now but I'm not sure yet because of the price but i love everything about them.
I think it would be cool if they added a camera to the front in the headlight, then when you push a button or get below like 15mph you'd get the camera up on the screen to make a "see-thru" fairing.
The way people shit on HDs youd think they werent making great bikes. They may not be for everyone and expensive af, but they certainly arent anything close to bad bikes.
"expensive af" is the issue, I wouldn't mind having one at all. But in New Zealand, this exact bike starts at over $50,000NZD, bit much for what you're getting.
I'm the same. I just traded in my 21' SG Special. I didn't think I would, but I absolutely love the 24' RG! I got it in Whiskey Fire! Keep the rubber side down.
See if you can get on an Indian Challenger. It's the bike most people are comparing the Road Glide to, and I am curious what your unique perspective would be on it.
Your reaction was exactly how I felt 15yrs ago when I finally ate crow, and tried out a street glide of my buddies for the first time.. I was a die hard sport bike buy that went from a cbr600rr to a cbr1000rr, to a zx14r... Then in 2010 I finally rode a Harley, and found out why they are so beloved by so many.. They are perfect for regular/daily riding.. The hard hitting torque of the vtwin, the insane sound, comfortability allowing hours of riding, and they are so easily customizable to your liking.. I bought one within 30days of riding his bike and haven't looked back.. I still have the zx14r, but in almost 15yrs, I have only put 4k miles on it, since buying my 1st Harley...
I switched from a street Glide to a Road glide.. this time .. had a 14 SG went to a 24 RG.. I miss the Bat Wing an the wind deflection .. Oh by they way i noticed he said car play ,,,Just FYI does not come with Andriod auto.. and Not it doesn't have the Harley Shake they got rid of that with the M8.. and it does not come with the heal toe shifter. what your seeing in in the gage cluster is what they call high contrast mode.. it's super ugly great video .. but this guy doesn't know much about the bike .. and he has not a clue about the modes ..
OC Definitely want a review of the street glide too. But I am also interested in knowing your thoughts of how this compares to the Low Rider ST? Most people consider the low rider ST to be a better deal than the Road Glide, but it is definitely a different bike despite having the same engine.
Heel shifter is great, except for the guys that stomp it like a dirt bike. HD uses some "cheap" material, where the splines strip if you overdo it. I've had it since 92, and am hooked!
Great review, man…I own the White Onyx Pearl version of this bike. I own both Indian and HD touring bikes. We sold entirely on Indian…until this bike. Hands down the best all-around touring bike out there. Quick question…what phone mount are you using in this review?
I’ve been wanting you to ride a Harley touring bike for a years. Maybe not as fast as a 600/1000, but it’s a different experience. I also have a street triple. Now you understand 😊. You can put groceries in it. No backpack. Any age touring will give you the same experience. Street glide rides almost identical.
It actually does have Brembo brakes and has had them for years. They're just not branded Brembo. Nice to hear about the heat coming off the engine. Most reviewers act like with the change to water-cooled heads there's suddenly no heat coming up off the engine and onto the rider, anymore.
will say its definitely odd seeing you on a bagger suddenly...LOL been awhile since I've seen videos from you honestly especially since moving back to TN but seeing you on a bagger is a bit odd..the heel shifter is very addictive once you start using it and you end up missing it once you get on a bike that doesn't have one. keep up the great work and have fun..
My first taste of your channel was the one of you getting pulled over on your dream bike a while ago. Glad I found this channel, this is the first motorcycle channel I've found that I really wanna follow!
I own the whiskey fire 24. I've upgraded it to stage 2. I recently took it out to the twisties, and she handled it like a charm. I scratched my pipes some, but that's what high temp paint is for 😂.
Damn it Chase! Don’t make me come over to the dark side too!!! If you were to have this only, do you think u would miss the MT10? I’m scared of getting rid of my SDE 1290 for something this big but that wind protection, comfort, and storage space sure as hell always have me thinking about it 😅. Would love to have both but my pockets don’t run that deep at this time.
Great video review. I love your enthusiasm. I got a great deal on a brand new 2022 Street Glide Special just 8 months ago (the last 22 that my local dealer had on the floor) and it was my 2nd Street Glide in the last 10 years (with a few other bikes in between) and I immediately tricked it out with all of the usual accessories (including extended bags and a rear fender) thinking that I was going to keep this one for awhile. Then I made the mistake of taking a test ride of both the new SG and Road Glide. HOOKED RIGHT AWAY!!! I ended up trading in my 22 SG for the exact same Road Glide you reviewed. I've only had it a couple of days now (but long enough to have 350 miles on it) and so far the only "gotta haves" that I can come up with is a new windshield (like most of them... the stock windshield looks good, but doesn't really deflect enough wind like it needs to for a big touring motorcycle) and probably a different seat if you're going to be logging any 500+ mile days. Other then that... I think Harley Davidson really knocked it out of the park with these redesigns. Especially considering that they are a brand known for "baby steps" when it comes to making changes to their products. On another note... I lived in Atlanta for almost 40 years (I now live in Tucson, AZ) and purchased my first Harley Davidson from Killer Creek. So it was really fun watching you ride down Roswell Road and then jump on 400. It brought back some good memories. All the best with your channel and keep up the good work.
Liked this video. I believe all brakes on this Harley are Brembo and only on the ST CVO the name Brembo is displayed. If you guys think this bike is expensive, come live in the communist Netherlands, where this bike costs you 37.495 euro and mind you that that you get 107 dollars for 100 euro. Oh and gasoline will cost you 2 euro PER LITER.
I would like to buy this bike, but the 2023 is U$S 125.500 in Argentina 😢 and an average income is 600 dollars per month. Is the equivalent of 17+ years of your full monthly income jajaja.
I really want you to review the BMW K1600B to compare! I had one (just got totaled when I was hit by a car last month) and I can't decide if I should get that again or this! (They're roughly the same price new, fyi)
Picked up a 23 CVO ROADGLIDE in Whiskey Neat, absolutely love it. Have ridden limited for the last 15 years i really love the fixed fairing. Love the new design. The 121 is so powerful.
Heal toe shifters have bin around for longer than you've bin alive bro. Nothing new or crazy. Maybe to you personally. But to Harley riders not really.

Honestly from an oem starting point, it looks really good in rolling shots.
I’ve watched many reviews on this bike. Your video is by far the best one yet.. the editing is 🔥
Awesome video! Now that you tried the Harley, I'd love to see you do a video on the Indian Challenger. Since you're not the "typical bagger rider" it would be great to see your comparison of the two direct competitors!
Its funny my 2021 Street Glide Special feels the exact same way... welcome to riding a Harley Davidson.... nothing else compares to it!!
You should do a Spyder F-3S not the touring model! I thought my ridding days were over after I had a bad stroke. My balance is almost gone. But the Spyder don’t require balance. Love mine, I’m back on the road!!! Wind therapy is real!!! That headlight is awesome.
This is how a review should be, it’s convincing me to want one lol
I wouldn't care if that bike gave Chase an orgasm, I think it's hideous. To each their own I guess.

Thank you for doing Harleys more often , i know there is so many new riders that actually appreciate this

Now i want Chase to test ride the Road glide CVO ST
Bro! that laughter is contagious !!!! you can literally hear the Smiles per gallon in your voice.

As a harley owner, there's nothing like the look back factor and the sound, but damn do they bite you when they break.
Love the video and excitement..👊👊
Glad you enjoyed it! 😎👍 🇺🇲 Ride on! Well It's been 4 months still your favorite?
They took an ugly bike and made it even uglier. Well done, HD
While I really like how they look and ride. I would love a Lowrider ST but its a tough one to swallow at 29K CAD not including taxes.
5:35 you rode a 2020 Low Rider S for a review.
Oh,oh I've been told if you're not planning on purchasing a new bike don't test drive it. But I'm going for it...

Chase is buying one now, new daily rider
Love this video!!
lol u funny. Good video bruh 👊🏽
Awesome video. Can I give a 👏👏 for the editing the C2W crew has been doing lately as much as Chase loving this bike? Awesome job guys! OMG 😂👍😎
Would you feel comfortable lane splitting on the roadglide?
I just personally think it's really ugly
Been waiting for this one! 😂 he’s joined the dark side!
Should ride the Indian Challenger to compare
So funny to hear someone discover what cruiser riders have known all this time 😂
Once you play with the heel toe shifter,you will love it,i wont ride with out one.
I’ve been watching since yummy r6 ride together days😭😭😭
You have to try the Indian Challenger. Heck try all baggers then compare. But Harley did do a great job with this bike.
Yes please.
Buy it Chase. You want too, just do it.
What's the point to drive a motorcycle if you can't do filtering?

Great video.. I'm personally a street glide fan and would like to see your thoughts on the new street glide vs the road glide..
He did one on the street glide a month ago
I would like to buy this bike, but the 2023 is U$S 125.500 in Argentina 😢 and an average income is 600 dollars per month. Is the equivalent of 17+ years of your full monthly income jajaja.

Well done on the Road Glide review, I want one!
buy it chase you wont no balls
Picked up a 23 CVO ROADGLIDE in Whiskey Neat, absolutely love it. Have ridden limited for the last 15 years i really love the fixed fairing. Love the new design. The 121 is so powerful.
Enjoy her that exact model/color is absolutely beautiful !!
When you and the other uneducated sport bike riders think you've found gold but dont even know that the 2024 CVO Road Glide ST exists.
Can we get a road head mode on motorcycles? (Asking for a friend)
hey chase try to review the rxz mili or catal.
The stock pipes suck you can't hear them at highway speed at all I ended up putting Rineharts on my 24 RG and it's wayyyy better
I felt the same way, so I bought one.
part of me wants to trade in my fat bob for this, but I know the answer is to just have two bikes
Quick question! How was the vibration in the handle bars? I'm looking to get on a Road Glide CVO ST
Heal toe shifters have bin around for longer than you've bin alive bro. Nothing new or crazy. Maybe to you personally. But to Harley riders not really.
"i unfortunately like this bike a lot " me realizing im getting old and want a bagger now
Does it have heated grips as standard?
OMFG yes finally some more Harley Davidson first rides 👌
It's a Goldwing 😏😏.
Try a GSA tho 🙃
OC: Ridden both & like the RG more than the SG stock; add some mini apes on the SG and they get closer...
So does a low rating for price mean the price is bad or good? Because $25k for a bike with so few options seems a bit much.
Great bike, but justifying the price right now isn’t possible.
No...the frame is not new
That soundtrack music was the most annoying experience too be had.
sounds like you had a blast! you should try out the Indian Challenger! I get the same results and feeling on that one too! (ive rode both)!
