Huge shout out to @whitneydoes for hanging out for the day! Go and check her stuff out for more esoteric musings on all things motorcycles and life.
I love the 3 of you are still trying to work together.
I heard FIANCÉ!!! Congrats Spite!
The flat-out belly laugh was just awesome. Thanks folks, that was fun.
This was great. I was always intimidated by bigger Harley’s. Plus the price tag. Although I love riding my hyper naked it would be fun to also have. Cruiser in my stable.
Spite!!! How do I get you on my 22 cvo. It’s got a 131 and subwoofers. Let’s do this!!!!
Whitney: rides Harley, full tucks, becomes squid.
I gotta say bravo to you guys. Spite when you left yammy you didn't skip a beat or stumble you started your own channel your loyal friends came with you like Whitney and I'm so sorry I forget his name the other gentleman and you guys are doing fantastic keep it up I'm so proud of you guys
I believe you’re thinking of josh..?
Yeah, I hope he and Whitney keep coming around for vids.
@@VA-gu1jq @501Blues It was Josh. They all did great for Yammie, and they are doing great after. I was surprised when I noticed they both left after the firing of Spite.
Yes Josh. Im sue they will keep supporting you.
Josh!
Yammie kicked spite off because he thought he could manage it himself
I feel like this video, is everything Spite did with trying to expose YN to Harley's and what the whole experience is about. Spite took all the Harley bashing and negativity on the chin, waited for someone with a more open mind, not sheer performance and speed on the brain, resulting in this top tier video. Bravo Spite.
Yammy was quick and had that smart wit. Hard to deny that. Spite had the Everyman vibe though. He’s definitely more relatable.
@@soldat2501 quick wit, yes. quick rider, not quite. riding next to spite before spite did some track time his track videos are rather pedestrian for someone who goes to track days like its his 9-5 job.
"It's just coming out of me, I can't even help it" - Whitney 2023 lol
This is probably the best example of someone with zero Harley exposure, and all the typical Harley preconceptions - instantly understanding why so many people like Harleys, after one ride. People just don’t know what they don’t know - until they do.
I know Harleys are nice, they are great bikes. But the only part I can't wrap my head around is paying close to 75% more for 10% better... I'm a cheap ass though. I feel like the cost and price would take away from my riding experience, just like it did Whitney at the end when Spite told her it was a 22+ grand bike. Makes me think... is it really THAT much better, or is good enough okay...
Lets be real here, other Harleys don't brake, accelerate or turn like this model.
This was made as a direct update to compete with Indian who is besting them in every form of racing. This is one of their first real attempts to be back in the performance realm again. With the aluminum chassis, fox shocks, inverted forks and brembos adorning the Indians, they have to do this. I love it though! But some cheap 883 or standard softail isn't close to this experience unfortunately, having much worse brakes, suspension and no honking 117ci sitting in it lol.
@@michaelconner9796 you can always get a cheapo second hand 1200 and enjoy the too much power for such shitty brakes experience!
Jokes aside, I do agree with you, wouldn't buy a new one. I always say that Royal Enfield is getting right all the things that HD can't seemengly wrap their head around.
I have to admit I had the same experience myself, I still am a sport bike rider and will probably be for a minute but after riding many different Harley models Id love to own one at some point
@@jordanjoestar8839 it’s not much different than any other m8 bike. And all m8 Harleys have Brembo brakes.
You can't help but to love Spite and Whitney.
I love how in every video Whitney makes an appearance there are so many comments that say how great you are cohosting videos. You guys have so much chemistry it's beautiful.
WhitneyxSpite. I heard that's a thing?
Little Whit on the big bike and big Spite on the smaller bike. Next time we get Whit a goldwing and Spite a grom. Lets go all out guys!
Whitney’s input was great. She verbally confirmed apprehensions about a big bike. But showed it’s manageable and you know with time all the awkwardness will slowly be overcome.
Whitney and Spite together are such a joy to watch.
I love to hear the reaction of non Harley riders when you tell them the price. The words "crazy" and "ridiculous" is usually their description!.....and I agree!
Great stuff. Man, honestly, spite and whitney is like ari and zach. I can see adventures and challenges between these two and would enjoy it!
I would love to see some Common Tread Experience-esque Spite and Whitney content! They're such a fun duo. (obviously the CTXP production budget is bonkers, but something in that style perhaps)
High praise, indeed! Z & A are the best of the best. The moto-triumvirate; Zach and Ari, Spite and Whitney, and Ryan F9. FYN!
at about 12 minutes in i realized how nice it was not hearing yammie start comparing it to a super bike and to just have whitney speak freely . i got a sportster cause my legs were nervous of the bigger bikes but i think i wanna try a lowrider now
Loved this one, do a follow up with her taking it on a 500 mile or so trip. See how converted she can get
Spite seems like such a down to earth fun to hang out with guy. I'm like 90 minutes away from him, hopefully I can catch him at a meet up sometime.
I 1st saw him on yammienoob, and he's the only reason I subscribed, but I left when he did and now I just follow his channel.
Everything Whitney said about her experience with the ST is exactly how I felt riding it during an HD demo day in October. Then I rode the FatBoy and it was even more so for me. That is my next bike for sure. Just something about the power delivery and how the bikes ride, they really are fantastic.
Love your content that includes Whitney. Great chemistry! Interesting to see her reaction to the Harley for sure.
Whitney's always a bright ray of sunshine in your videos. I think her R18 might be in danger of being swapped out for a Harley.
My first ride on a cruiser was last year & I had trouble figuring out where my legs went too. I borrowed a mate's bike while I prepped mine that had been in storage for 5 years. After a month of riding the cruiser I felt cramped when I switched over to my bike, like I was using rear sets, and I have a fairly standard upright seating position. I never used to get it, but now I really see the appeal of riding a cruiser.
I'm an older fellow and have owned metric or European bikes, and my wife being a Harley lady, asked me to trade my M109R in on a Harley. Well, I purchased a 2011 Road King in 2018, and to tell you the truth I wasn't crazy about it when I purchased it, but my wife was happy. A couple day's after I purchased the Road King I took it on a 500-mile ride through the desert and then the mountains. When I got home, I expressed to her; now I understand why people love Harley Davidson so much. The rumbling feel of the motor when you are at idle or accelerating, the sound of the Twin Cam was just music to my ears, and the handling in the mountains was fantastic. A couple days ago, I purchased my 5th Harley; a 2023 Harley Breakout, and I cannot ever see myself going back to metric or European motorcycle again. Great video; I really enjoyed watching and listing to your and Whitney's commentary.
Might be my favorite video so far. It's awesone seeing someone try something outside their normal zone and diggin' it.
I must say, I also never thought I'd have a Harley until I discovered the low rider s. Took a used 2020 that had a stage 4 117 and tons of aftermarket goodies on a test ride and was instantly in love. It was in my garage within a week and I find myself riding it more than my other bike now.
Goes to show you never know what you like until you put a few miles on it.
I sold my 08 Yamaha Raider and picked up my '19 MT07. The MT is great to commute to work on and to play with on the weekends.... But....I miss my giant screaming dragon of a cruiser. It was SO comfortable and it pulled SO hard. It was like a lazy boy strapped to a JATO engine.
Whitney's a national treasure
I've seen this so many times the first time a rider experiences the power of a Harley. It shocks them. The giggle reflex is real and common! Americans buy horsepower but they ride and feel torque when on the street. People also tend to not believe how maneuverable the big Harleys really can be - even the big touring rides. Congrats Whitney. BTW I ride a Ultra Limited and also have a Triumph Bonneville T120 (another torque monster in a smaller bike).
I will say that for only a few hundred dollars more, you can get a super Chief limited with the 116 thunderstorm engine, some leather bags, and a windshield. Oh boy!
Whitney is always a great addition when she visits the channel. Straight up unfiltered opinions.
Enjoyed this episode. It was good to hear the Harley giggle from Whitney.
I have never seen anyone ride the FXLRS or ST whether 117 or 114 and not love it. Whether they are “Harley” riders or not, everyone loves this bike. Nice job HD.
I really like this video format...introducing someone to something new. It was informative and entertaining. Thank you.
Fresh new neuropathways! Awesome video you two! So much fun 🤩
Always love to see some Whitney and Spite! Can't believe you sold her on the ST!
Spiteney Rules!!! I drools 🥴
This content was pure gold! Nice bikes too! You have it nailed Spite. Whitney should co-host more too, you guys have great hosting chemistry.
Awesome video guys, I smiled all the way thru it!
Dude. You killed it. She was perfect for your example. Great video. Maby your best brah
The 2023 now has cruise control. A necessity for any touring bike. Still a LOT of money for what you get.
The ST 2022 has also standard cruise control,the 2022 S didn't.The 2023 S and ST have now both standard cruise control.
Love when Whitney joins in!
Great to see the collaboration between you both. It really adds something to the channel having two people bouncing stuff off each other. Keep going from strength to strength! I
Good combination. The two of you make entertaining and informative videos.
You guys make excellent content together! I love the banter and discussion. YOu are very different from each other, but very complimentary in presentation. More please!
Great video Spite I was really smiling watching it.
I love this content! I could listen all the time!
Another plus is the frame-mounted faring. It makes moving slowly easier.
Didn't realize spite's engaged! Congrats 🎉
Well done Spite & Whitney! I told you, the you-know-what event was the best thing happened!
Love today's video! This keeps pushing me towards the LRS everyone has at home, the Yamaha Warrior. Sounds like Whitney should consider throwing some luggage and a fairing on the R9T.
I've got a road glide St and fricken love it. It just makes you smile and you get a place to put things. No more back pack for me. Nice video. Cheers
Absolutely love this channel, looking to get my first bike soon, and for me this bike is something I want later in the future
Love this platform for you all -- much improved after all.
I love seeing the 3 of y’all doing your own thing. Yammie is still being a douche over on his channel while y’all are putting out enjoyable content that I love seeing. Keep pushing and I’m so excited to see how your channel grows. I know it’ll be great!!!
Yammie channel wouldn't be the way it was if he wasn't a douche lol.
It was 100% Scummy Pubes’ loss. I hope Spite is in a better place, both financially and in life balance through running his own channel!
Oh man it's so cool to see Whitney again! Thanks for bringing her in and showing off that heavy metal so we could hear Whitney's maniacal power 14:00 trip!
It s cool to see Whitney and it s so funny , i always have a big smile when i take out my road king end of april or mai here in Montréal Québec even after 38 years i still enjoy it so much
I feel like “born to be wild” started playing in Whitney’s head when she ripped the throttle!! 😂 😂
Fun video, thank you! I’ll have to test ride one now.
It’s funny because that sums up my first ride on a Harley. Now I have a 2020
Road King Special and I absolutely love it.
Another day another Spites vídeo. Thank you very much Sir.
I have one of these and you can 100% ride it like a sports bike. So easy to flick it in the corners and go fast. No issues with dragging and scraping. And in a straight line....goes like a demon. Awesome bike.
Brilliant show! Really enjoyed Whitney's comments/insights. Can't wait to watch this with my wife. My wife is a "senior" rider, that's all I'll say in that regard, and rides a 2014 H-D Heritage with the 103 TC. She loves low end torque, as well, and the low seat height that "cruisers" offer. I have a 2004 H-D Road King, Stage 3, and a '98 Honda VFR 800. When asked which bike is my favorite...Both! They are completely different experiences. There is a place for both in my riding. I love the idea of a "guest" rider, as well. Keep it up, my friend.
same! i have a guzzi v7, a tiger 1200, and a road king s. all ride different and are equally fun in their preferred environments. life's too short to confine yourself to one style of bike!
Thanks for a great video, I've been riding for 6 months, and am looking at a streetbob or low rider s, it's great to see how comfortable she got so quickly rider that bike, even though she's way more experienced than me, but she's new to cruisers and she enjoyed it so much.
This is awesome!! I love when you have her on! I'm wanting to take mine for its first 1000 mi trip in April, to my sister's wedding. I want to get the bung king flat bars on it first.
Good to see Whitney again.
Two mates going for a ride and talking bikes. I like this format 👏
16:41-"No, this carves corners! THIS IS CARVING CORNERS, and I don't have to DO anything. I don't have to f*ing put my butt out or, or ride it differently, I just stay where I'm at and it's like, 'yeah, let's carve it up' ."
YES! EXACTLY! THIS was the Dyna experience in a nutshell-well, once you hotrodded the engine, upgraded the mounts, added some frame stabilizers,, upgraded the suspension and tires... Oh, and got a new seat! But once you did that, THIS was the Dyna experience... For you. Anybody else who rode it wouldn't "get it", so much of the perfect bike feel is subjective and emotive that a lot can get lost in translation. Harley deserves a ton of credit for being able to package that feeling into a commercial product, a Softail no less... But 22 grand?! I wouldn't feel ripped off if I could afford one, but I can't. Luckily the Softail Standard and the Street Bob 114 are under 15 grand and could easily be upgraded to this level, the Street Bob is really close just missing the suspension, fairing and bags... And really all I'd need is the fairing, I ride with a bookbag.
Welcome to the fold, Whitney... Don't worry, most of us are more like Spite than Sons Of Anarchy.
I have had Gixxers, ZX6, ZX10s, a Buss and two ZX14s. I bought a Victory Cross Country because my current girlfriend would never ride on a rocket. I dearly miss my rockets and eventually plan on buying another. With that said; I HATED my CC for the first month. Now....man if I only had one bike it would be something along this line. I love the massive size. Look at pictures of a CC next to a touring Harley. It's soooo big. Makes for challenging yet fun U turns. Honestly I believe every enthusiast should spend at least a month on a giant bike.
Keep up the good work. I'm really enjoying your new channel. ✊️
More Spite and Whitney adventures!
FWIW if I turn the bars full lock to right I can literally bring an R18TC off the side stand with just a little pressure from the inside of the left knee and no hand on the left grip on level pavement. The balance of it is incredible since the center of gravity is so low. Just be sure to hold the right grip to hold the brake and to keep it from tipping over to the right. The full lock to right helps with pretty much any bike, but especially the heavy ones.
Harley giving Spite this bike has been the best sales commercial I have seen in years.
I like seeing you two reviewing together
I learned to ride on a 1995 Road King so I completely understand everything Whitney's talking about and more!
YES! Whitney and Spike is like PB&J, Steak & Eggs. You get the picture.
That was fun. I almost road the ST last year but ran out of time that day and just road the Sporter S which was quite a blast. Maybe this year on Harley test ride day.
Loved seeing Whitney expand her horizon. I'm a new convert to the Church of Harley Davidson, myself. I currently ride a 2005 Yamaha Warrior 1700 (which is a blast, btw). I love the looks of the Low Rider, Fat Boy, and the Breakout, but I believe I have decided on getting a standard Road King with an M8 motor. I did not expect to like the RK, but once I rode it, I was hooked! I would love to see your review of the RK and Whitney's first ride impressions on it and other HD offerings.
I didn't get it before. Riding a Harley isn't about the technical specs. It is about the visceral experience and the way HD serves it up is satisfying in a way other bikes aren't... and they come with a community unlike any other make.
I had a Warrior for a year. Now I ride a Raider, which is still great, but nothing has held up to the warrior for me.
Keep it, it's a gem that's becoming pretty rare now.
Never rode another cruiser that went around corners THAT great.
You guys are great together
Excellent video
I have the same bike. It's a lot of fun and when she said these are mids? Priceless.
I bought a cruiser as my first bike after a 30 year hiatus. It was worthwhile, it let me know that I really don't like cruisers. They're OK and some of them are gorgeous machines but I find them super uncomfortable for anything over about 30 minutes, and I dragged the foot pegs so much that I broke the feelers off both sides and ground a fair bit of metal off them. Also I like being able to stand up.
Spite said those were mid controls. Def forward. No way standing g up on this one lol. I would like both forward and mids on my Dyna.
You deserve all your success with your channel! Also, get Whitney on more often 😊
So cool she's out there with us it's cool
I own a BMW, rode japanese bikes, never rode a Harley but Im seriously wanting an ST.. its gorgeous and so badass
You need to do a show on learning to ride a Harley touring bike at slow speed with Jerry Palladino.
For a bit now I have been trying to decide between a cruiser/bagger and an ADV bike as my one and only motorcycle (and only motor vehicle). I mainly plan for it to be for touring, camping, shopping trips. I am not really planning on doing a ton of offroad (beyond the odd dirt road or light gravel road), though it is possible I could change my mind later. Mainly it will be used for paved roads and longer distances. It is a touch choice as I like them both for different reasons.
"My wallet-peepee hurts"
Whitney just keeps delivering immortal quotes!
haha her quotes...this one got me!
This content is great. Said the guy riding a 1975 BMW R60/6 :) Every time Whitney is on is a homerun!!
She gunna love it guaranteed I bought two in one week including the el Diablo
As an R18 owner who used to ride Harley, I can understand the sticker shock since almost anything from Harley is over $20k now and my 2022 was out the door $14.5k. I think if she bought the tail raising kit and put some short mufflers on her R18 she can enjoy it a bit more.
Her giggles are infectious. 😂
My favorite part of the Whitney videos are the “Whitneyisms.” I always look forward to hearing what adjectives she uses to describe things.
Whitney is here 🎉
Good to see @whitneydoes with Spite again. I hope it's a regular thing.
The opening scene is me with customers non-sports bikes.
I love her. Great personality, and excellent contribution to the channel! The Street Glide is my dream bike and I love this bike as well! Harleys are awesome. The company I am not a fan of though...
You guys rode a long ways behind a dump truck. Great video enjoyed the ride !
It was fun watching someone not expect it and then totally got it
All that low end tourque moves you quickly immediately. And will wear out cheap back tires in less than 5,000 miles. They pull great coming out of turns and flattens the hills.
Loved this video. I came upon a HD Street Glide at a great price. Bought it without ever having been on one, or even ever considering one. Yes it was intimidating but once I got used to it I totally got it. It was so reassuring, noisy, heavy, but always engaging. I discovered all the HD hate was misplaced. I will never buy another one, not my thing. But, I really liked and was impressed by the bike.
Nice - Go Get Em !
A 2012-2016 Dyna Switchback will get you 80% of the way to a Low Rider ST for $8k to $10k. The Dyna is not as stable as the new softail when pushed in the corners, but otherwise it’s a great value for a really fun ride.
I don’t foresee a Harley in my future, but that was fun to watch, and I can understand the attraction.
Awesome vid. Would be cool if you could get your hands on a metric bagger.
Great Video! You can hear the let down in Whitney's voice INSTANTLY when you tell her the price tag!
