Harley-Davidson released their 4th Motorcycle in the Icons Collection with the Hydra-Glide Revival. Modeled after the 1956 Hydra-Glide that introduced a Hydraulic front telescopic fork (1949). This was a much more advanced suspension system for the front end. This is also a popular bike with the vintage motorcycle collectors. H-D chose the Softail Heritage Classic as their starting bike and outfitted it with a lot of period-correct style points. The Icons are a good way to celebrate H-D's past and to ride with a sense of nostalgia.

    I just bought this bike, I love the nostalgic style, I’m an old school guy, I named my bike🍒CHERRY🍒 back in the 50s Cherry meant mint condition, and my bike is CHERRY RED, so the name stuck. What a beautiful bike,
  • You can do a boring bike introduction video, OR YOU CAN DO THIS! Great footage, perfect music selection, once again you knocked it out of the ballpark.
  • I work at Buckeye H-D in Dayton Ohio and our Hydra Glide was sold in about 2 hours of hitting the floor

    Talk to dads while you still have em 👍

    I got mine #25. Doing a stage 2 with a torque cam right now. I’m keeping the style as much as i can and im also installing underglows, better grips, LEDs that matches the original amber, then getting it ceramic coated

    Jerry's channeling a little John Wayne there. God bless him.

    Very stylish. I know some old timers who adore these paint schemes. If they don’t like the model or colour/paint they stick to talking mechanics and stay pretty quiet overall. If I rode this one around the back there’ll be no shutting them up. 😂

    Jerry looks great! God bless him! He always treated me right!

    What a beauty, it will be the highlight of any showroom. Elvis Presley owned a 1956 KH with windshield, it looked very similar to the Hydra Glide, and it was one of his favorite bikes in the fifties. Your fathers knowledge is awesome.

    The heritage does not get enough attention! It is such a versatile bike and it is especially great for smaller riders and is more than capable of doing long distance touring. I will be buying one in near future. Thanks for another awesome video Matt! Can't wait for another one of your adventures with the guys!

    My 1997 Heritage looks VERY similar to this one! My Heritage has a studded leather 2 up with medallions and tassels. Heritage Classic indeed!

    I love my heritage and saw this bike at my dealership yesterday and gotta say harley did a really good job. Not my type of bike but a great way to take a new bike and make it styled like an old one. You did a good job of presenting it. Harley needs to hire you for their advertising team.

    Would have preferred the tombstone tail light.
  • @jeancarrier522
    Wow, you should bring this to the Oscar next year. The music, the bike and the rider... SMOKING! :) Thanks for this, I had a great time watching it!🤘
  • @Markotto09
    I love this collection. Old meets the new tastefully. Thumbs up HD! Now make my M8 FXR!!!
  • @ThatBobGuy850
    For a lot of guys (like myself), Harley really hasn't sold anything that would compel me to trade or sell my current bike. I don't just like my old bike, I love it! This is a big problem: How does Harley get us "legacy" riders onto a new bike? The Icon series was a brilliant idea. They should have made more of each model though.
  • @jiripastrnak1936
    Thanks for the consistent and excellent reviews. This one is no exception... The more I look at this bike the more I want it. Damn it. Lol. I always tell my wife I should have been born to live my adult life in '50s and '60s cuz I love that era.
  • @mikeclark3013
    I have a Heritage Softtail, and I love it. This bike is beautiful.
  • @CraigSmith568
    I love the looks of this bike. I like all the icon bikes, but this one has the most comfortable seat of any of them. I have an 18 Heritage Classic Anniversary Edition and it is just too hard to justify trading it in just for the looks. If I could do it for $3,000 to $4,000 I might consider it, but I think they would want closer to $10,000 difference. If I was buying straight out I would definitely pull the trigger on this one. I think it would look even better with a set of white walls.
