I really like my 2020. Only 6k miles but hard miles. Only a couple of issues. Really dislike the parasitic draw on the battery that many of these have. If you don’t keep it on a tender the battery will not start the bike after 3 weeks. I’m on my 4th battery. I put the Bare Knuckle Performance 2” lift and it handles as good as any Goldwing or Bimmer. Lots of lean angle. Bassani 2 into 1 with a Dynojet tune. BIG DIFFERENCE. Way faster and no speed limit. I love Harleys and still own a few. They don’t get ridden much after the Challenger. There is no Harley bagger that will hang with this bike unless it has major mods. Plus VERY comfortable. Great 2 up bike. Love my KlockWorks. The Challenger is the new standard for big twin baggers.

Hello from Dubai! Congrats on your first vlog, which I enjoyed very much. I own a chieftain with stage one and two engine upgrades and a Klockwerks flare windscreen. I absolutely love how it handles when I bang through the twisties at speeds over 170kph!! I have a place in illinois and have tested the challenger. I was going to buy one and sped it out for long touring but the pursuit dropped and I ordered a Darkhorse premium in red over black. I love the grunt in the challenger engine and can hardly wait to ride the pursuit on a tour and take the trunk off for some twisty fun!! Best of both worlds.

Can't go wrong with a Road Glide. Honestly, many folks will not like the water-cooled 108 powerplus, it doesn't feel like a traditional V-twin. Totally different feel, than an air-cooled V-twin. I love it though.

Nice job! You're really pushing all the right buttons to make me want to upgrade my '14 Chieftain, but being in MN I've added so much to this bike for cold weather riding it would cost me a fortune to do the same with a new Challenger. Maybe I just suck it up and go all in on a loaded Pursuit. Either way I totally agree my test rides on the Challenger have been mind-blowing and I'm sure I'll pull the trigger within a yr or two for sure. Northern Cali??? I used to live in Sacto in the 80's and some of that scenery reminded me of the Grass Valley foothills.
