not only the improved cooling, but I am under the impression liquid cooling allows them to help meet more stringent emissions regulations, which as we all know, ain't going to loosen up in the future..pretty sure that was the dagger that killed the EVO Sportster in favor of the Revolution liquid cooled engines ..so for those that just can't accept change, you're relegated to the older tech and years and models

anyway....it is a strange little world. All this stuff has to do with the tariff wars. Everyone looking to blame someone....W/O getting political I blame the EU. There....I said it
Im not waiting on a 2025 as I just bought my 2024, I did consider waiting for a 2025 but now the new models get released in January I didn’t want to wait until 1/2 way through our summer to get a new bike that will more than likely be the same as the 2024 excepting for colour.

It is a joke about asking if your waiting on a 2025 as this thread has derailed because of the original title of the thread.....

"Who's waiting for a 2025?"

Some post have been mostly anything other than answering that question.

Only reason I would wait is for the color options in 2025 if you are not super excited about any of the 24 colors. I have to say the sharkskin blue I don’t really care for as much now. Prob shoulda stuck with black on chrome.

Not really waiting, but if they happen to come out with an Ultra Limited in Whiskey Fire/Chrome I would probably trade in this Road Glide on one.

I’m waiting on lowers and hopefully a Candy Red or some red that pops on a road glide.

To me, yhis is a new AMF era.
That’s an incorrect perception IMO, I own and modify the 24s. Chassis wise they’re a 22 with longer shocks, so there’s zero change there.

*The seat is better trimmed and higher quality.
*The electronics is light years ahead of the old bikes,
*The wheels are lighter, stronger, and easier to balance,
*The road lighting flogs the old rubbish,
*The handgrip system is better engineered,
*The front master cylinder is miles better and adjustable,
*The bags are more usable and FINALLY accommodate piggy-back shocks!
*The front bodywork is way more service friendly
*The gas filler cap is quality and has no cap to fall on the ground

I rode my 24 the 60 miles home thinking “what have I done?” But once modded in the same way as the old bike, I love it. The only thing I really miss is my super light Tamachi clutch.

In comparison to Chinese bikes, the VERY best Chinga is CF Moto by a fair margin…and they’re not in a HDs zipcode. The fit and finish of the ‘24s we get here in Australia is easily equal to our old York P.A bikes, and we’re getting none of the build glitches reported back home.

Next trip to CA might prove different I guess.

My only complaint with the new bikes are it’s hard to keep them at 25mph, they have so much more torque than my old 107. I already got my first ever speeding ticket on a motorcycle with this bike in a 25mph zone.

🤣👍 cruise control works from 25mph on mine…..

You only need to be a left-handed spider monkey to reach the buttons.

Speculation is they are dropping the Limited models for 2025.
I currently ride a 22 Tri-Glide. I no longer ride long trips (1K+ miles). So I'm waiting for the 2025 RG3 to come out and though I would like to see better colors than the 24s, the thing that will push me to purchase one is coming with the new infotainment system that is on the 24 Road Glides.
