    I owned a 2010 103 ci Triglide and now own a 2019 114ci Triglide. The difference in response and handling is by far much better on my 2019 Triglide. My wife rode the 2010 103 ci Triglide to Gettysburg, PA from St. Louis after I had Bourbeuse Valley HD install a hydraulic clutch--the manual was sloppy shifting up and down through the gears and the hydraulic clutch made that much easier for her as it is more sure to shift in and out of gears. I was glad to see it standard on our 2019 Triglide. The pickup on the highway ramps is excellent with the 114. It is a notable improvement over the 103. I am quite pleased with the purchase and my wife is also. As to an "old man"--I am 72 and still run 12 miles a week with ease. I like the Triglide on the highways as it simply is more relaxing than my other motorcycle and does provide more visibility to other drivers. My other motorcycle is a Road Glide Special which I enjoy riding as well. I would recommend test riding a Triglide on local roads and then on the freeway. To truly appreciate the difference is a good measure for you to use in deciding.

    Due to a scary ride on a friend's BIKE in her youth, my wife would not ride with me on my bike, but she was willing to ride with me if we bought a TRIKE. So, we bought a 2018 'Geezer-Glide' in Twisted Cherry & Silver Frost and we both LOVE it! I still am able to enjoy the bike, but I am 72 years old and have sense enough to see the writing on the wall. The Trike will become my last ride sometime in the not-too distant future and, for that reason alone, it's turned out to be the best move I've ever made for the present and future. One of the main reasons we went with the H-D TriGlide instead of a converted Goldwing or Indian Chieftan was the vast network of H-D dealers & nationwide service network. A friend of mine that presently owns a converted Honda has told me that some, if not all, Honda dealerships will not touch a converted Goldwing for even the slightest malfunction....NOT something we want to hear when we are several thousand miles away on a an extensive cross-country vacation! Very good video, Matt!👍

    We traded in our '18 Ultra Limited for a '19 TriGlide. First trip out on the TriGlide my wife and I had to ride in about 100 miles of rain all the while riding the twisties on US550 from Ouray, CO to Durango, CO. After riding the TriGlide on the wet roads I was much happier that I was on 3 wheels then 2 wheels. Sure it would be easier to handle 2 wheels on the switchbacks but this thing really rocked the mountains. Oh, and we had about 300 miles on the clock when we took this trip so it was also a break-in trip. Thanks for the great video.

    Matt, I enjoy your reviews of the Tri Glide. I bought a 2017 two years ago and love it more everytime I ride it. I'm 63 yrs old, I started riding two minibikes at age 9, and have more than a few decades under my belt on two wheelers. Before buying, I rented a 2017 Tri Glide for three days and took it on a trip up to the White Mountains. Having a few years on some real nice BMWs, I gotta say the first day I hated it. I decided to toss my expectations and let the Trike be what it was designed to be. The second day I warmed up to it, and on the third day I really learned to love it. Renting one is a great idea to really get the feel of what the trike is. I've seen a few customers take a short test ride, and just not like it well enough to buy one. It took me a few hundred miles before I could make that decision. Of course the Dealer applied all of my rental money to the purchase price of the Trike that I bought. It was like a free three day test ride. Thanks for the vids.

The traction control would be nice in the rain & running upon peagravel on the road roundin' a switchback. After both of us riding 2wheelers all our lives these Triglides are great.

I'm only 36 years of age and have drive 2 wheelers for about 12 years now and I think I prefer the trike. Sure somethings I miss like the handling around the bends on a two wheel but love how much more relaxed I am on the trike, no worry about handling in the rain or if you hit lose gravel. Ideally I would like to own both two wheeler and Trike but don't think I'll be without a trike again. Thanks again for your awesome videos.

    Matt, I rode a 2017 and a 2019 this weekend there is a BIG difference you can really see after getting off the 2017 then getting on the 2019. 19 steers MUCH easier and corners way better! The 114 seems custom made for this beast. Nice and throaty pulls MUCH better, my 107 on the 17 was pinging as well. Braking better, suspension better boom much better. I will be getting a 19 or keeping my 14, we couldn't get together on that 17, the 19 is only a few thousand more. Well worth the extra for a LOT more trike! Harley has now taken the solid axle Lehman as far as it gets. One good ride on this locomotive and you'll be hooked as I was. Kudos to HD on a GREAT upgrade package!

    EXCELLENT video - Very helpful! Although I am 75, I still have no physical needs and can still handle my FLHTK Ultra Classic Limited, but have always been interested in the Harley Trike. It is now 2023 and I recently test drove a 2019 Harley Tri-Glide at a local dealership (After many years of 2 wheel riding). I never owned or rode a trike before, so it definitely was "different", but I actually enjoyed it - Just relax and try not to overthink it. I did end up buying the bike, will be picking it up soon and hope to have many years of trouble free, fun riding.

Super fun to ride and along with the Tri-Glide Ultra, it is a blast to ride and own regardless of whether you have a “physical need” to move to a trike or not. They’re both great bikes for a lot of reasons and I’ll have another in my stable for sure. Thanks Matt!

Some extras l added are highway pegs, rear view mirror extensions, 3-m type invisible protection sheets to the front and top of the wheel wells, to protect from rock chips and gravel and a HD luggage rack on top of the tour pack. As l have mentioned in the past, l feel for the price of the Tri-Glide, HD should include, at least heated grips, and the luggage rack as standard equipment, like which is included with the HD Ultra Limited, which costs less than the Tri-Glide. Thanks for sharing. Safe Travels.

    Just found this video and thought I would add my two cents. As a long time Harley owner and a former Tri-Glide owner here are my thoughts. I am 69 yo and have ridden motorcycles since I was 7. I owned several Ultra Classics and toured extensively on them with my wife. I had done several Posse Rides with HOG and enjoyed everything. But as I aged I found it became difficult to balance the Ultra, especially two up. So in 09 I bought a Tr-Glide.I loved it and between 09 and 2016 I logged over 120000 miles on it. Road route 66 end to end twice, across the US three times coast to coast and across Canada and any more places in between. Then in 2016 it was time to replace the trike, I was at Americade and took a test ride in a Polaris Slingshot and decided that day to trade the trike in for the Sling! Now I do NOT hate Harley, they make excellent bikes, but for 10K less I got a vehicle that will do everything the Trike did for less $$. I know a Slingshot is NOT a motorcycle I accept that, but I can get "almost" he same open air experience in the Sling as on the trike. You mentioned the Trike handles like a go-cart, well that is true, but the Slingshot handles like a Go-Cart on steroids! So to all those aging riders who still want to experience the joy of the open road, carve turns, and generally turn heads wherever you go, I would highly recommend at least taking a test drive in a Slingshot. You may be impressed.Have fun and ride safe.

Love the hell out of it. I'm a bachelor and my lady passengers love the hell out of it too. I like the added safety feature of cage riders slowing down to check it out when I'm on the road.

    Hey Matt …. always enjoy your videos … Last May (2018) (during my 70th year), on a multi-day 5-State road trip on my 2017 Street Glide, I returned home convinced it was time to buy a Trike. I had never ridden a Trike before but I purchased a 2018 HD Trike Ultra Glide with some reservations. After a short learning transition I absolutely LOVE the trike. I initially missed the out-of- the-gate torque so I added a HD Stage I Heavy Duty breather, Vance & Hines performance pipes AND the HD Stage II Torque upgrade. Problem solved !!!! Got plenty of torque, and the cam gives the motor the HD lope sound we all love about HD. Since May 2018, I have put 10,000 miles on my Trike and love it more every day !! As you said, "It is a BLAST to ride!" and despite its weight and more bulky appearance vs a two wheeler it is surprisingly quick, agile, EZ touring 70 - 75 mph all- day-long ride and it has a reverse. Finally your review of the Trike was spot- on, THANKS !

    Hey Matt, you definitely put on some good videos and good comments love the way you talk pluses and minuses on the bikes. I only take issue with a couple things but their my personal opinion. As an owner of a 2016 Triglide that I bought new after 50 which 40 years street legal on two wheels I made the switch because of multiple surgeries due to an explosion 23 years ago. My first comment is I absolutely LOVE the Triglide due to physical condition. That being said are I personally don’t know why anybody would want to ride a Triglide versus two wheels because it is totally different experience and I do feel it’s mainly for older and physical handicap riders. And the second opinion is that I was going to rent a trike but decided to buy it straight out because I was told by so many people the was so different. Good thing I did, because at first I hated this Trike more than you could ever hate a bike. That being said I left for eight weeks and 6500 miles trip and by time I came back home it was the best thing since sliced bread. So yes, if I was still young and healthy I would be on two wheels and from time to time I do you ride a two wheeler. Please do not take offense Matt with my comments and keep up the good work on the videos and reporting on the bikes.

Currently own ‘09 Ultra Classic (2 wheels) and an ‘07 Roadster. See what 2020 brings to the TG. Keeping the Roadster, the Ultra will be replaced with the TG. Not easy to wait but I’m sure there will be a couple of bumps in performance by the time I pull the trigger and write the check. With 2 hip replacements and a 29” inseam I’m still managing the Ultra just fine but that trike is calling!

    Matt.... I couldn't agree more. I rode one at an HD demo event and the trike is the most enjoyable touring ride... I don't know how to explain it but it's totally relaxing, you are left to enjoy the surroundings rather than focusing on riding; it's awesome! To the naysayers, try one first at least, they coroner like a slot car! If I ever could afford 40k to go touring I'd own one of these first. To add: I really enjoy extreme cold weather riding to include sub-freezing, icy gutters, wet paint stripes, off camber wet steel grating (construction zones) etc., will never be a problem on one of these. That kind of reassuring feeling is worth a thousand words... just try one guys, and put aside any attempts at trying to look cool for a moment to appreciate the ride! That's my 2 cents👍🏽

    Ken I first drove a trike when I was 26, it had a VW engine, jock shift 4-speed, springer front end. Indeed it was a blast and yes I found it more relaxing and better for touring than a 2-wheeler. I later owned many 2-wheelers, many different brands. Now that I'm a lot older a trike is probably my best option.

  • @onthrottlereviews2104

    Having ridden several trike options available for HD's, I'll try and break down my thoughts on the Tri-Glide model. My first real intro was when my father, due to illness, had to stop riding on two wheels. At the time, trike kits were few and far and they were quite expensive. A decision was made to add a voyager kit to his 2002 Electra Glide Standard. The kit certainly fills a niche and gets those needing extra assistance into a more stable platform with little modifications to the motorcycle itself. The FLHT was a rough ride after adding an extra two wheels and weight and I'd never really consider the voyager kit a long term solution for someone looking to eat up highway miles. This is more for your weekend rider who just wants to maybe ride to local events and still enjoy the brotherhood of the motorcycle community, but can't do so on two wheels. From there, we upgraded to a Motor Trike kit, complete with electric shift and reverse gear. All things considered, it was a better kit, obviously involved a lot more modification to the FLHT and turned the bike into a true trike. The ride was "better" but still was a little rough around the edges. Over time, the air shocks would always leak and bottom the rear of the trike out when parked for any length of time, the reverse gear (though it didn't have the noise most of you associate with the new electronic reverse), was a true PITA to operate and for older bikes, the extra weight of these kits just really made them feel like a school bus and it tended to really hamper MPG and heat was an issue. Fast forward several years after that modification and enter into the 2016 Tri-Glide. I was the first to ride it 160 miles home from the dealership and boy what a joy it was. Compared to the other "kits", you learn a true appreciation for something that is purpose built. Everything was where it should be and it was made specific for this particular model. The Tri-Glide was a true Cadillac compared to the other kits mentioned. You also gain an appreciation for this on another level, as I'd certainly say the ride is far better than even some of your 2-wheel counterparts in their "low" versions or 12" shock configurations. The Tri-Glide is effortless in adverse weather, inspires confidence in those who would otherwise not have the ability to be on the open road and is a worthy investment for anyone who needs a machine such as the Tri-Glide. In our 2016 version, we have the 103HO motor, which I feel is lacking when you strap on the extra 300+ pounds of the trike kit... however, for those looking into the 107" or the new 114" Tri-Glide models, I think you owe it to yourself to check them out and give them a fair shake down. Though it's not two wheels, Harley has done a fantastic job at giving consumers a long term, viable solution to the growing problem many face when they can no longer stay on just two wheels. Great video review of the new Tri-Glide!!

    Thanks for the review Matt. Love watching your videos. In 2015 my husband and I purchased a new 2014 Triglide. We live overseas so please let me advise your viewers that HD's for export only are not built with the same specs as those sold in the USA. Who would ever think a triglide would come without a headlight? Plus, there are no maps for the navigation system in the country where we are living. When you pay almost twice the USA price for a trike you would think it would be built to the same specs. There are no reviews for HD sold in Asia.
