LAB-358-2024 Harley-Davidson Full Model Lineup Released | Our Thoughts
Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com In this episode, Lurch and I talk about the 2024 Harley-Davidson virtual model release event held on January 24, 2024. You can watch the Harley launch video HERE. Harley introduced the all-new Road Glide, Street Glide, CVO Road Glide ST, and the Pan America. The launch video is of good cinematic quality and tells the story of the creation of these new bikes. As with other large corporations, the video is selling you a vision and a lifestyle but lacks product detail. Don't worry, we have your back. We give you the information you want. Next week, I'm attending a press ride of the new Road Glide, Street Glide, and CVO Road Glide ST. Stay tuned to the Law Abiding Biker Podcast and YouTube Channel for my review of the new bikes.

Both models feature an evolved fairing profile that appears refreshingly modern yet retains Harley-Davidson design DNA that makes them instantly familiar.

Rear suspension travel is increased to 3-inches. A redesigned one-piece seat shape and padding materials offer a significant improvement in long-range comfort for most riders.
