The real reason people buy Street Glides 

The fact it has a CD player is hilarious... Cruising down the highway, cruise control on, flipping through my CD case for some Bob Seger.

This guy is awesome! No profanity and no junk just passion for bikes and more importantly a passion for the Lord! By far my favorite on RU-vid!

My dad calls them "me too" bikes. What do you ride? A street glide? Me too!

The street glide actually comes from a style of bike popular in California when people would strip an E Glide and remove a lot of extra parts and chrome, Harley noticed these were getting popular and then the street glide was developed and released.

Ditched my fatboy bobber for a street Glide 2 months ago. Wow. Game changer. My rides went from 2 hrs to all day in comfort. Btw...$14k seems excessive for this 2013 and I dont see $4k in mods. I paid $10k for my 2013 and its comparable to this one.

My step dad had an Electra glide that he completely built and modded and him and his friend summited it to Harley Davidson and it was one of the bikes used for inspiration for the street glide in 2006

My father in law picked up a 2010 Super Glide for $1500. It had been setting for a couple years but only has 5700 miles on it. He had to change the fuel pump, injectors, new battery, new gas, plugs, fired right up runs like HD!!

I've been watching your videos for a while now, and your commentary never gets old. Stay cool, keep it up and ride safe. Remember it's not what you're riding but where you're going ✌😎

In regards to the comparison between the Street Glide Special vs the Ultra Limited, I am in complete agreement with the styling points mentioned in the video, but I would like to throw in a little kudos for the handling of the Street Glide as well. I’ve owned several models of bikes by HD, and that includes 72’ shovel head, 72’ Sportster, 82’ Wideglide, 2016’ Breakout, 2019’ Deluxe, and now a 2020’ Street Glide. Each one having it’s own strong and weak points when doing serious travel. The Street Glide, thanks to it’s lower stance, is very agile, given that it has a lower center of gravity, cornering at a little faster speed is effortless and I feel comfortable and in control, which is of great importance since I drive in Colorado’s mountains alot in the summer. It is also great in high volume traffic areas in the city where stop and go is the norm. Nowhere near the heating issues I had in my shovelhead and breakout. Overall comfort on the Street Glide is exceptional and it is a well balanced bike, and you can add on all kinds of goodies to achieve the final look you want. I never really considered a bagger when owning my other bikes, but after buying one I realize that we’re always learning something new in the Harley experience, and I’m stoked about my Street Glide. Go get one, you won’t be sorry.

I have an 05 Electraglide Standard. It’s the 88 with a 5. It’s not a bad bike. I’ve had it 6 years and no issues. It runs its best at 80-90 mph. Ride safe!!

Solid rundown. But you got my subscription when you read from the Word. God bless you man

I’ve hit birds 🐦 on the fairing a couple of times and those spikes will ensure maximum blood splatter.

The major problem with a street glide is the wind buffering hitting the batwing fairing. The road glide is where it’s at IMO. Less of a workout for long rides as the fairing is fixed to the frame and takes all the wind. That and they look better imo.

We call them "Me Too's".. cause everybody say's "i gotta Street Glide.."" the response generally is "me too.." ....

I test drove both. The RG is a much better bike. On a street glide, I felt the fairing is too close to myself making feel how narrow is the space between my chest and the fairing. On the RG, I feel more comfortable and feel much better than being on a SG.

I owned an 07 model which I bought brand new, and loved it. The only problem was it got real hot under the right thigh in our summer, in Australia. I know you can buy oil coolers and love jugs and so on, but isold it and got a Roady instead. Still have a soft spot for the StreetGlide, but if I was gonna buy another faired bike, I'd choose the Road Glide.

I'm only 28 and i have a heavily modded big wheel street glide and a full bolt on 16 R1. The R1 is fun to go fast on but if I could only keep one its street glide for me, slow but I really enjoy riding it

In consideration of the faith-based content of this channel, Shawn (Sean?) ROCKING his Holy Jeans 😋 Love the channel, keep up the good work 👍

The 2019 Electra Glide Standard is awesome! Looks good and has all the important stuff. For THOUSANDS less!

Small tip for you guys. get an Ultra and take the tour-pak off, buy the low profile seat and you got the best of both worlds. And it's convertible when you go touring! I did it with my 2018 115th edition Ultra and it looks the dogs :-D

> Kevlar gloves > Exposed left knee

Rather buy a limited. Removable tour pack kit and best of all options

The loud pipes are my Stereo! 👊😎💨👍

I have a 2014 and love it. Two main things to do them. First, cam, heads, air and map. Makes that 103 come alive. Mine specked out at 116lb torque and 103 hp. 100 torque at about 2000 rpm. Next and just as important, replace the rear shocks with something that can make the bike handle right. I put on a set of Terry Cable shocks. Same ride height but 1" more travel. I did not stop there. I changed out the front fork dampener but left the spring stock. Amazing the difference. Handling is a 10. Tight in the corners. Glides down the road. Might be a 'me too' bike, but I made it my own.

Well Sean this is how it started at least in my area. Younger People was buying the standard then take all the Crome and badging off then putting a short windshield on it and putting they’re own radios on them all for around 13 to 15,000. The motor company took that and ran with it... give the radio back. No crome and color options. Because the standard only came in black. Then marked it up to 25 to 30,000. Smart of the company but people should have demanded the cheaper standard with a color options because nobody keeps it stock. But it is all about the might dollar! Thanks for the vid bro...

You know there’s no one in the background when you ask the price of a bike YOU own lol

I normally don't comment, but here goes. I have a 2011 streetglide, and mine did come with a tour pack. I installed the bars myself on mine. If you run the wires through the bars, it's difficult, but it's possible to do yourself. Still cost me about $1200 when all is said and done, and you still need to take it to the dealer to have your breaks bleed, if it has abs, as the dealer has the program and they haven't released the info to the aftermarket world yet. But it is possible to disconnect the abs system all together. Also a downfall for the newer bikes with abs is you have to have the dealer change your breakfluid every 2 years or your abs will break.

Hey dude love the knee pads they look almost like real bare skin!!

I traded in my 2005 RK towards a 2011 Road Glide, not too happy with the wind bobbing my head around at 60mph! It does have the flared windshield and I had plans on changing it, but that in my opinion would make it worse? I had 3 Street Glides over the years and wish I still had them now! Sure, the Road Glide handles like a dream on the highway because of the fixed fairing, but your head isn't quite as rigid and it makes for a miserable ride! KEEP YOUR STREET GLIDES!

OMG, if me and my boss we're talking bikes yesterday and he literally said 'StreetGlide'. LOL! I gonna cut my teeth on some cheaper stuff before I move on to a prime cut bike like this. I will not tarry long though.

I just bought a 13 street glide. I love it. I’m 5’4 and on my tippy toes. Ordered a reduced reach two up seat to get a little lower and yes I wear a helmet with a curved 6.5 inch windscreen. No issues

The real reason: Because they are freaking awesome!

Thanks so much for posting you are for real personally I have had both had a little over a hundred thousand miles on my street glide presently on newish road glide for me personally nothing goes through the wind and rain better than a road ride just my opinion

The Electra Glide Standard is back for 2019 though.

Just got a street glide yesterday. Sold my beloved FXR and got an old man bike (if it's a bagger, it's an old man bike). Love the comfort. I can ride more than 20 miles now without a broke back

Nice bike. But kevlar gloves and shorts?

The first impression I get from this guy is that he is mostly a sales person, at least as far as this video goes. The Street Glide is not the most popular touring bike that Harley sells. The Road King is, first because it has been in production longer and partly due to the fact that it is one of the lower priced touring models, it is also lighter in weight making it popular to those upgrading from other Harley frame type models. It is the best handling touring model and a very comfortable long distance rider. Before I am accused of being a biased Road King owner let me say that I did own a 2003 100th Anniversary Road King and it was a hard decision to trade it in, only because I couldn't afford 2 bikes. I decided to upgrade when the Rushmore models came out with all the improvements to design. Although I intended to buy a Street Glide, my salesman at the local Harley dealer convinced me to test ride the 2015 Road Glide. I bought a Road Glide Special as soon as I returned from the test ride, which wasn't just a short local ride but an hour long ride on an interstate and local roads. The Road Glide handles better than a Street Glide on the highway, so, if your a distance rider the Road Glide is superior. Unfortunately my 2015 was totaled in an accident but the good part is the car owner's insurance paid for my new 2017 M8 Road Glide Special that is even better than the 2015 was. My point is don't assume anything, all Harley touring models are great bikes but test ride all of them before making your decision.

Awesome video Sean! One very nice Harley. Thanks for sharing.

I can’t get used to the turn signal situation. I like having the basic 1 switch for both signals. For some reason having separate controls really really messes with me

I have a 2012 and I love it. I have customized it with a different stereo system, bars, a tour pack, and a few other things and it’s great.

Does the owner even ride the thing? I have a 2018 CVO Street Glide I just did the 10K service on, and I live in New England! We get less than half the year that is good for riding.

Hi from the UK. Great video, but can you tell me why the sky is blue there? Maybe you had a special lens on your camera? We don't have blue skies here.....

The Street Glides are good bikes if you actually want to ride some distance. Not just be one of these guys who rides to the bar, shows it off, tells other people what it means to be a real biker, and then goes three miles back home. 😂 Because let's face it there's two types of Harley Riders. There's people that actually enjoy motorcycles and then there's people who take advantage of Harley-Davidson being the largest cosplay company in the world. 😂 I swear they're like "look at me I do 10 miles a week on my bike and try to pretend I'm on Sons of Anarchy." 😂 Anyway, if anybody is looking for an actual motorcycle and not just a way to show off at the bar, the Street Glide is a hell of a bike.

I currently own a 2006 sportster and 2015 fz-09. I will likely sell both and buy a road glide. I think these bikes are popular because riders come to the realization sport bikes are nothing but trouble on public roads and as you get older your body can’t handle less comfortable platforms. My hips get strained after a half hour on the Fz.

Man I need a set of those gloves...

My Honda has driverless steering. It always pulls to the left if you let go. I think it’s because of the shaft drive?

Is does track very well even no hands. I have a 2019 Street Glide Special and it is amazing bike.

I bought my 14 about 2 years ago I went just over 5 years with no license. I bought it from a private seller about 2 weeks before my reinstatement. So my girlfriend and I would be comfortable riding on long trips or even across town my intruder is not big enough for the both of us first bike I ever had with a fairing. After a few long trips I think the frame mounted fairing of roat glide would be better for wind and the wind turbulence from semi trucks. But I'm in to deep to get out of it it now. But very comfortable and smooth.

Was going to go with the street glide. But ended up with the chieftain dark horse because of reasons. Such as larger displacement. Adjustable wind screen. The size difference of the bike (chieftain is longer and you don’t feel compacted when riding) speed etc

That’s so cool i don’t live far from where he’s riding. Thanks for the tips. I almost got myself a 2009 Harley street glide for $4000.00 but my son was born and money went somewhere else. However it is an amazing bike and im still looking for one.

Solid video Sean. I like the looks and convenience of the sg. It could be a great bike for me. But I can't stand the fact that everyone has one. Something about that just sucks. Everywhere I go it's street glide, street glide, street glide. Obviously for good reason people are buying them. I just see no individuality. Most folks pull a 20k loan and can't afford to make it their own. I don't know... maybe one day, when I'm done standing out. For now, I think the best bike Harley could ever offer me is the deluxe in pearl white, 114 motor, carlini's, and fish tails.

I watched this and I watched the one you did with the Indian Chieftain and I’ve got to say I liked the view a whole lot better on the Indian with the adjustable windshield. I am also 6’2’ same as you. (Just saying), I’m definitely going to test drive both before I buy one.

i like 2019 street glide cvo. yeah its more stripped down version of ultra classic. cvo's hold value.

$800 bars is insane

Love the scripture with the video brother god bless

So... I love the street glide. I've not owned one, but for sure will one day. But this one, I do not like how it is modified. To each his own, that's the great thing about Harleys.

The guy raised the handlebars above where the faring protects your hands and arms from the wind.

Have a 99 Electra Glide Classic that's now looking more like a Street Glide. I just strap a duffle on instead of the tour pack for longer trips.

i was at the love ride in 2004 in glendale. i was riding a limited edition fatboy at that time. next to me in our group was Bill Davidson, Robert Patrick and a few other notable HD dignitaries. Bill and I wandered off to check out some of the other bikes dotted all over the streets near glendale harley. at one point we came upon a whole group of Harley riders from a Cholo Club that had done some outrageous mods to their bikes. massive apes, super-long fish-tailed pipes, extended bags etc. SUPER CHROMEY! BUT!!! some members of the groups had adopted the SoCal lowrider style to their Ultra Classics. they had "smoothed" out the bike, by taking 99% of the chrome either off or had powered-coated it to match the skins color of the fenders, bags, tanks etc. some were lowered, but most looked like they had been "murdered" out before the term was used. Bill was blown away. He took a few pics, and as we walked back to the Rally Burgers and waited for the ride to kick-off, he said, they could do a factory version like those he had just witnessed. i remarked, if you build one like that, i'll buy one. so, around a year or so later, right after my fatboy had been stolen... i picked up the first street-glide in San Diego. added a detachable chopped tour-pak, screamin' eagle exhaust, and a few other mods and away i went. my first faired bike that Bill had said they would make. we must all thank the low-rider clubs of Southern California for the imspiration. the bike is still mine, it now has 85,000 miles on it. it's been ridden up the coast to SF many times, across the loneliest road, route 50 thru nevada, up to yellowstone, out to denver and back and it's still my daily commute bike as i pull the tour-pak off and cross into TJ daily for work. the TJ/SD border is easiest to cross on a bike. here's the inspiration for the bike. i.pinimg.com/originals/75/d2/c9/75d2c98911d53b4838a5b05c4081f6cc.jpg

The Streetglide is the "me to" bike. Mike: Bro what kind of scooter you got? Dave: A Streetglide. Mike: Me too!

Please bring back the words of wisdom on every episode 🙏 love your videos and its a fantastic way to start it out.

You left home wearing your wife’s jeans! WTF, I’m going to pretend I didn’t see this…

Mine is a 2015 still in love with it

Interesting to care so much about style. Mostly I care about the ride experience. But whatever, as long as people ride that's awesome.

The last comment I see on this video was about a year ago so here's a new one. Why bother to wear gloves and a helmet but leave those knees flopping in the breeze? It doesn't look as cool as you think...just saying. Besides that, you're going to get a really weird looking tan. Can you remember the pain of falling off your bicycle as a kid and skinning your knee? Probably, but the memory of the pain has faded. Scars from road rash don't fade so easily. Think skin graft. Keep it real, keep it safe. Love you brother, God bless.

This bike was owned by the typical Harley owner. Buy the bike, ride to the bar, ride home, bolt some after market junk on your bike, ride back to the bar, show off your bike, ride home, bolt some more junk in your bike, ride back to the bar, show off your bike.... 5 years later, bike had been sitting for 4 years, sell bike. Drive to the bar, in your mini van, cry in your beer with your buddies about how much you miss you Harley.

Switch from a heritage to a street glide special I think it’s comfortable and the fairing is a plus from the wind the radio also aww man just enjoy the bike ….

Thank you for the review. I have owned 3 H-D: 1 Ultra Limited & 2 Road Kings. I don't know how you are not getting buffeting, at 6'1", I'm 1" shorter than you. I had terrible buffeting on the Ultra Limited, I couldn't read road signs it was so bad, tried different size windscreens to no avail. Love the bike, but for the reason just stated, sold it. Surely H-D must do wind tunnel tests on their bikes, but mine rode like they didn't do aerodynamic testing/development, a shame, beautiful bike, but awful buffeting/riding. Since then, H-D installed vents in the fairings, maybe that helps.

Actually the Road Glide has surpassed the Street Glide as the best selling Harley Davidson motorcycle now.

the best thing about SRK channel vids is how they teach you to sell ice to an eskimo

I REALLY dig you doing a Bible verse man. Been watching bike vids and yours pops up so I watch to find this. Subscribed.

Seen one HD Sglide you have seen them all.. I ride a F6B, most people have never seen one … and that’s what I like.. I don’t want to be like Fat Bob and have exactly what everyone else has..

Street Glides are cool, I gotta Fatboy but I’d like to get a street Glide one day, but my Fatboy is not going anywhere because it’s the best Harley of them all in my opinion. Not because I own one but because I actually special ordered mine and I had to walk past Ultras and Streets to do so😜

If you wear a helmet the head buffeting over 60 mph will drive you absolutely nuts! Carry Advil in the bags. Owned one for two years, great ride , very comfortable....and yes, I tried two heights of clock works shields, bottom baffles, fork deflectors.........nothing worked! traded it in for a street bob, NO buffering on the bob!

I was looking at 2015 street glides there just so expensive! But I found a 2015 Kawasaki vaquero it had the 21 inch tire conversion, Vance Hines exhaust and aftermarket handlebars my bike is sweet I paid $11,000 I've never been more happy !! Don't hate metric muscle people !

i Remember when Riding a motorcycle was about being different, being an Individual, then the Street Glide Came out and it's become cool to just follow the SHEEP and join the crowd and be one of 100 street glides. Sean is wrong the street glides are a dime a dozen (at least here in New England, it simple supply and demand and the Number 1 selling bike means a HUGE Supply of used. After 40 years working for Harley-Davidson, i wanted to be different from the crowd, i now ride a Valkyrie 1832

Ditch the 12inch shocks for 13 inch Lengend Revo and these are the best bike you'll ever ride. Comfortable but a little more lean and nimble

"Cause you're an idiot" 😂😂😂 You're 100% right and I'm glad you're willing to say it Also no this is NOT a young mans bike, it's still an old mans bike.

Hey brother fly buy wire was fitted from 2010 on the street glide "I had one" bad point - rear pegs are fitted to the frame and when having a pillion on board there toes dig into your calves when at stop so some pillion training required to move there feet back - but for cruising no problems.

My 2020 Street Glide Special has just under 7400 miles... The guy that owned that 2013, did not ride much.

I just saw a 13 with more miles sell for 15k… they definitely hold their value

I hate to ride looking through a windsheild, specialy through a tinted one. But it goes with the kind of bike . It looks good.

My man is ready for the flood.

Loved the scripture before the ride! God bless you brother, see you on the road 🙏! 👊😎

Just paid 14,000 for a 2012 with 30,000 .now I feel like I didn't get a good deal as I thought lol

Street glide is a hot rod looking Harley. Street glide is a compilation of everything we used to do to hot rod our road kings, only with the bat wing fairing.

That is my dream bike!

problem is that to look cool they shorten the rear shocks and reduce suspension travel as well as lean angle

Where you riding at? Looks just like where I grew up in Lancaster, PA.

I knew you were in PA from the houses about a minute into the test ride lol. The Lancaster sign confirmed it. Sweet ride.

Odd to see that you put weight and torque in the American system but the displacement in the Metric system.

I just want a Dyna Street Bob... God that thing is beautiful...

Guys who ride street glide from 2017 what is your opinion about street glide ? Is it worth? They are good ?

I went to your site to buy the gloves... 😱 No to $120.

Now idk how I feel about a sg being good for beginner to intermediate riders, it’s quite a bit of bike for a new to novice rider. I started on a 500r ninja, jumped to a 883 sporty, then my friend let me ride her 06 sg…… it was slightly intimidating but manageable coming off the sportster….. been riding my Vtx 1300 for a few years now might have to take that glide back out on the next warm day.

After reviewing the video, that guy didn't pull out in front of you @ 8:15. It seems to be a tricky intersection. He started turning before but wouldn't be able to see because of the big truck in front. Be careful out there.

I'm gonna be honest, I'm not too crazy about the Street Glide, I'd rather buy a Road Glide

I want one blacked out. I'm a big guy but never rode a motorcycle before. Is it a good first bike?

Kinda like someone that buys a diesel truck who doesn't farm or tow anything. They do so other people will acknowledge them!

Its funny seeing this as you drive through the Landisville intersection next to parma pizza.
