I don’t know for sure. My neighbor has one I’ll have to ask him. I’m a GM guy being from Michigan and getting a GM discount from family.

I’m just waiting for the fairing lowers for 2025. Otherwise all is good. As for Toyota, I have a 23 Tundra and all is well

I just passed 4000 miles.. I've only had one driveability issue with the speedo disappearing from the display. And that was because I made a fumble finger mistake using the SE Pro Street Programmer. It was easily fixed by me when I figured out what I did. Other than that I've had no mechanical issues. I've never had to visit the dealer.

I have one annoyance and that's Carplay. I use all the time, and sometimes it breaks up and even drops out for no reason. Harley did release a software update which greatly reduced the Carplay cutouts. But it's still not perfect. (Of course this is a non-issue for folks who don't use Carplay).

Unless they do something major, like redo the frame, or add inverted forks, I can't see the 2025's being any better mechanically than the 24 models. Harley tends to design a platform and then stick with it. Everything on these new bikes seems to be 'improved' with SkylineOS software updates and/or ECM, BCM flashes.

I think Harley will focus on updating other models in the coming years, or at least they should in my opinion. I’m really interested to see what they do with the road king in 2025.

There’s no way HD does any more upgrades to the SG or RG in 2025. Not even to the horn location. Their focus is on the remaining touring models.

Yeah the RoadKing will be interesting. They should upgrade it but keep it old school looking. If they make it look like the new Road Glide and Street Glide with that modern chiseled gas tank it will ruin it.

The bike I really want to see them improve is the Lowrider ST. Get rid of that ugly wrinkle black trim (rhino lining) and give it a chrome trim option and a gloss black trim option and make some killer paint colors standard. Like a Red with big flake, Alpine Green, Big Blue pearl, White onyx Pearl, Black Magic ect ect. And make the stereo standard for christ sake. For the money they're asking already for the ST the stereo should already be standard.

4k is nothing, and not even worth mention, other than to say don't buy this it had a problem the first month I owned it.

Probably with these type threads is people posting they didn't have a problem, but they got no miles on it yet.

Life is way too short to wait until 2025. Might save a little but won’t get the time lost enjoying the bike.

I already have a bike in the meantime. So waiting is not that big of a deal. But, saving $3k is a big deal for me. I don't have a lot of money and there's alot I can do with $3k.

Honestly I shouldn't even be looking at a bike that cost this much. But I'm at a point where without getting too personal I'm ready to say F everything. And I rationalize it by thinking it will be a good bike to get me out of doge for awhile. I can ride further on it.
