OC. I'm a Street Glide owner. I like having the display closer to me, like the drawer, and the handlebar position. It is the best of five Harley's that I've owned through the years.
I went from 2022 Street glide to 24 Road Glide. I love the new Road Glide fairing compared to the older Road Glide fairing so that coupled with the amazing ergonomics of the 24 Road Glide was a win for me. Rode it 5000+ miles across the US this summer and had no aches or back pain compared to riding my 22 Street Glide. I think the ergo is perfect for me on the 24RG but also I replaced the stock shocks with super shox which made an amazing difference. I think both bikes are good looking but I am now team Road Glide. Great video
I test rode this bike and it's beyond amazing. The Dealership offered me $5,000 off the Street Glide if i trade in my 2019 FXDR 114. I'll get a Street Glide one day but not at the expense of getting rid of my FXDR.
The road glide vid made me buy a harley.. I went from Yamaha Mt-09 to the Harley Davidson Road King Special. I love my new bike and it was totally worth it. I noticed I like cruising instead of being a hooligan and getting a cruiser just made sense. The only things I don't like is the heavy clutch (in traffic) and even with a windscreen I get a lot of wind buffeting at higher speeds than 65mph (110 ish km per hour for my canadians). I love cruisers now which I never thought I would.
OC response: I had liked the RG more, but I think the new sleek look of the SG gives it a slimmer look. I also like how the screen is closer. Test rode the RG and wasn’t sure exactly how I felt about it. Liked it, but couldn’t see myself owning it. Interestingly enough it never even crossed my mind to walk over to the next row and look at a SG. This video changes my mind a bit.
Def. prefer the Road Glide (had one). The riding position feels much more open whereas the SG has the instruments up close. That is, the feeling of being on the bike as opposed to being in it.
You don't have to buy a CVO model to get Brembo brakes. The model you rode has them, they're just HD branded Brembos. The master cylinder is Brembo as well. The same goes for the older bikes. My 2016 has Brembos that came standard. When you take them off, you'll see the Brembo B on the other side.
That is some massive power. If Harley ever moves to some type of auto clutch + quick shifter up and down or a fully auto clutch I’ll be wanting a Road King.
If was a long distance rider then the RG for sure, but since I ride shorter distances and around town, the SG is the best option because it can handle shorter and longer rides.
OC: If your nitpicking between the Road Glide and Street Glide, then looks will ALWAYS win out and make your purchase decision for you. Honestly if I got a cruiser it wouldn't be either one as I've always been a fan of the bobber bare bones cruiser look.
Crazy. The road glide fairing is the best thing since sliced bread. But that's why they have different models so we can choose! Also, why tf do people keep saying OC? What does that even mean?

Very comfortable bike. I rent these all the time in LA and have a blast. My only complaint is the stock bar height for a 6'2 rider is too low and makes me hunch over. If I would buy one of these, i would immediately get lifters on those (not ape swingers) and most definitely a back rest. Most of the absorbing of the rode gets direct to the center of this bike, every time you go over a pothole or a bump, it goes immediately to my lower back lol
Just went and rode a '24 SG. It was terrible. Partly because of preference, partly because of dealer addons for that particular bike. The bars were super narrow, curled in too far, and pulled back, the footboards are still too narrow for my feet(normal for Harleys), and it had a heel-toe shifter which ensured that I could only get my heel on the left footboard. I did like the lift the bike got, the new seat is better, and the suspension is superb. Unfortunately, the cramped foot condition with the stock bars being badly set made it a horrible experience. I'll be sticking with my RKS and hoping they release an updated Road King without ruining it. I'm not buying a bike that I have to spend thousands more just to make it rideable.
the rear suspension on the harleys still need the upgrade. the fox shocks on the indians do really well stock. but the HD need some legends or progressive.
OC: I love the Road Glide fairing as it's similar (frame mounted) to my RT, but if I was looking for a heavy touring ride, then the Street Glide (with a top-box) would pull ahead of the Road Glide similarly equipped for me.
Street Glide looks better in my opinion. Street Glide is my bike. Always SG. You forgot to mention the new plug for battery charger, now available on this model.
I feel the exact opposite, and I think that's why Harley still makes both. Some of us love Sharkfin style fairings and some of us love Batwing style fairings.
Road Glide better looking? I have a ‘24 Street Glide 8th HD over years and superior to my prior bikes. Best handling, best features and fastest in stock format. I test rode the Road Glide as well felt like a boat to me and the infotainment is too far away for my old eyes. I like having the screen right in front of my view and within easy arms reach. Also like the drawer. I know people say Road Glide rides better but may be negligent to notice a difference. The Street Glide feels more sportier and nimble and to me looks way better than the Road Glide but that is my subjective opinion.
Great video, what is the MPG????? My Suzuki Burgman 650 had linked brakes from 2003 and mine was a 2012, Harley has been way behind the times and always has been this isn't new technology by any means and is way too damn expensive!!!!!!!!!!!
Neither one has any leg protection (look at your Car Cam shots). You will be soaking wet in the rain, and that is Design Flaw for a touring bike. Honda GW, BMW RT and K1600 or the AdV bikes like the GS, Multistrada will protect your legs from the elements of weather. For HD standards, it is a good looking bike with proper Technology. If the local HD Dealer were NOT such Dicks, I'd go for a test ride.
The asthetics of the bike..they were trying to compete with Indian with power and lightness to flick the bike around as well as torque, they not bad, just overpriced
@@BlinkingKillswitch Yea but look how Harley "realistically" try to comeback with the Road Glide with click in cubby holders and the Street Glide with the roll out tray, how realistic do you want me to be🤷🏽♂️
So you exposed the long held and still pushed myth that the bike is not maneuverable and is lethargic, has no power, has no acceleration, and is no fun to ride in town. Good job. I have personally known those things for a long time but it’s interesting to see how people are still going to buy into the falsehoods around this and the RG. The RG is my bike and I wouldn’t trade it. I would add to the stable, but never get rid of it.
If you’re really looking to buy a discounted HARLEY-DAVIDSON. Just check out your local Indian dealership. So many Harleys are being traded in for an Indian that they are turning people away.
That digital speedometer looks like the clock from Windows 1.0 lol , i know Harley Davidson caters to a more conservative audiance but 80's computergraphics are maybe a bit too much.
Harley makes great bikes, just sucks they went woke and I don't believe there I take it back letter. They are saying what they need to since they're not selling now that everyone knows.
I bought one.... What part on the bike is defective because of their politics. Please explain how the parts will be different if their politics change.
@@Anonymous-jj9yuHarley makes fine bikes, the problem is they are incredibly expensive compared to the competition and when most people think of Harley riders they think of hyper aggressive middle aged dudes.
@dominicktrav7107 that's not the reason for all the recent hate. Harley decided they were gonna go woke and start sponsoring drag queen story hours at children's libraries. They also got caught in support of DEI which is a huge knife in the back to all Harley riders.
There is no better machine made for long distance travel, not even close imho. Goldwing, Venture, K1600 etc. None of them compare. I have owned Road Glides and Street Glides and I will say that the whole fairing thing is total BS. There is no difference in highway winds in terms of fairings....none! I have a Russell Daylong with a rider's backrest.....more comfortable than my truck! Those who rip on Harley have never ridden a bagger, RG or SG. I love them both but I find the SG is easier to handle, I also have terrible vision so the SG fairing is closer and easier to read the gauges. Either bike is as good as it gets imho. Now I also own Ducati's KTM's Yamaha's and more and they do their thing equally as well but to travel highways I will always choose my SG. They even handle amazing well, I have done the Dragon many times on my SG and enjoyed it.
@@TheKingsapostle How can one be wrong with an opinion? I have owned both and I personally prefer the SG. I think they are both great but they are the same bike with a different fairing. The Road glide offers a more spacious feel but is less effective against weather/rain. The street glide is lighter in the front end, dash is easier to read. RG has better storage but on these new ones the SG has better storage. It all comes down to a personal need or preference not a right or wrong. 10 times better? I think not. The whole fairing in the wind BS is exactly that. I have put thousands of miles on both the SG and RG......there is no advantage to the RG, in fact, the SG being lighter in the front end feels better to me. The point I was making is that both the SG and RG are by far the best touring bikes made.
@philipdarnall787 a ktm what? 1290? That's so much money for a bike. I paid 10k for my 2024 xsr900, and it's miles better than the 890 KTM. I'd take the mt10 over the 1290, and that's like 7k cheaper. Yamaha does it better and cheaper. Also, you don't have to take it to the shop for recalls every other riding season 😆 seriously, though ktm's are cool bikes. Ride safe.

OC. I own a 2024 Harley low rider ST and I got to say it is amazing motorcycle
I like the look of the street glide. I ride year round. The street glide gives better weather protection.
i had a 21 ultra street glide so i have to make the switch and i went 24 road glide and LOVE IT

Will you consider reviewing the new 117 breakout? I’d really want to hear your opinion on it. Thank you!
Test the Harley Free Wheeler. Theyre entry level Trike. Man they look cool!

Do a first ride on the harley davidson pan America!!
Has production of this one been shipped overseas yet?
NO, only their 1250 Rev Max engines are going to Thailand. No other changes.
I wish he would do the low rider st!
Make a review about the Royal Enfield Guerilla 450.

Both Street and Road Glides are awesome, but out of my price range.
How tall are you?
You didnt scrape because you have good body positioning. Not a lot of cruiser riders know how to body position.
Street Glide. 100

This comment could use more question marks and exclamation points. And MPG is 35-40mpg with a 6 gallon tank.
Did you hear that laugh at 9:10? I do that everyday!
Not into Harleys but this one is not fugly. Problem is the dash and fairing dominates the screen so it does not make for a good motovlogging platform.
android auto can happen with the motorola USB wireless adapter. same with indian.

The white hi viz screen looks really bad. I never use it!
