Really like this format with different riders giving their opinions on each bike. Very informative and great consumer reporting!
Well said
X X eww
Totally agree 👍
Agree, this format was fantastic. More of this please.
Dainty lady fingers🤣🤣🤣
I started on a Electra, went to a Road, and am now on a Street Glide. I love the format of these reviews and I totally agree, for me it’s easily the SGS all the way around.
Common misconception: car lights don’t work by weight, they actually work with electromagnetism and measuring induction through units of measure called Henrys. There’s a metal coil loop trenched into the asphalt, when a car (large chunk of metal) sits inside the loop the induction of that loop increases. The sensor triggers the light to turn green when the induction of the coil increases.
"weight" still helps though, but not because of actual weight but because of the extra steel causing more of an increase in induction. My Road King trips lights every time, while my Speed Triple would very rarely trip them.
Road Glide = cruise control set at 75, hands off bars, passing big rigs, sipping coffee
K shinn might as well get a car
K shinn I mean I did that with my Electra glide at 90mph for an hour yesterday lol
Streetglides the same, bars dont move around, all that talk is bull crap.
@@nobodysreview6137 must be a big difference from the windshield mounted on my Road King then... I used to get beat up riding in the Oklahoma wind
I’m transitioning from sport to touring and this video helped me settle at the Street Glide. Thanks
Just came off a BUSA. Street Glide all the way.
@@funhumanusa agreed. Street glide for sure.
I bought the Electra glide standard cause it was like 9k cheaper then the street glide and I can install a radio for 800 and still be ahead of the game
What are you thoughts on the bike a year later?
I am really thinking about getting one, and like you - I enjoy the price point with option to upgrade.
@@HvyMetal4Ever I have a 98 electric glide and it rides super smooth I’ve rode a 2008 they both ride the same and a 2012 or 2013 Street guide A tad bit softer I would say they’re worth the money you pay
So the Electra glide is the same as the street but stripped down?
@@larryneiberheim592 a street glide is basically a stripped down Electra glide
@@HvyMetal4Ever absolutely love it.. I have no complaints at all. No regrets here.
I own a 2019 road glide ultra. I vote road glide. My dad owns two shark nose (2015 and 2017) and two bat wings (2012 and 2015). He won’t stop telling people to buy a road glide over a street glide. Street glide feels sporty, no doubt. But for long hauls... road glide all day.
Levi Herron it takes too long to ride a road glide. Before you can go on a trip you have to age 30 years and gain 150lbs before you can go.
@@monkeymangonewild I get that! Lol. But it's a much better investment buying an ultra and making it a road glide then buying a road glide and making it an ultra. But I get it's a grandpa bike. But I'm 29 at 210lbs and riding in complete comfort. Oh and my 28yr old at 110lbs wife love the ride quality as well. Putting heated seats on this weekend too so we'll be cozy as well.
@@levidavid09 I just put a deposit down on a road glide
Alright I'll buy a roadglide
yesss. road glide its soo comfortable
Ana looked great on the Street Glide. I’m with ya Aaron... can never find neutral.
Blockhead - love the group rides. Great job identifying which bike is being referenced and love the shots where you are riding up with and getting the other rider and bike being spoke of in frame
Great perspective on the three bikes. Just bought a Street Glide a week ago from a SOFTAIL and I love it. Ride safe
All 3 are cool bikes. I just bought a Street Glide and I have loved it so far. It's definitely a different experience coming from a sportster or softail. Great informative video as always Block.
That's a plus one on the format. Great to see the bikes in action instead of only having the riders view perspective 👍
Thanks for the reviews, I am short fella like Anna is short and I took a Ultra Glide with the lowered seat for a test ride. Loved it but now after watching this video, I have to try the Street and Road Glide bikes before I purchase. Thanks again
I’m 5’6 and I love the Road Glide. I was test riding the Street Glide and then they put me on the Road Glide and I was in love. Idk it just fit me so well which was a total surprise to me. I’m on a Switchback rn.
Awesome video! Great seeing Anna and Aaron coming from sportsters to touring. From a viewers standpoint. I this the view is better from the streetglide/Electra Glide.
But I ride a Roadking. Best of both worlds. And I only put the windshield on when it’s cold out.
My mother in law is about Ana's size, and rides a SG Special. Has ridden one from Texas to Alaska and back twice.
ShabaDabaDoo She’s a badass!
Love this review... I'm looking at adding one of these bikes to the collection and will be a big change from my 2013 Iron 883!!!
Interesting comparison format and very informative. I did something similar before choosing the 2019 EG Standard, which I got with the dual front discs (option in '19; std thereafter). Rented both and Ultra Limited and Road Glide Limited and did the usual salesman's ride on the Standard. Obviously the two Limited's were heavier. But the fairing on the RGL was miles away from me with more turbulence than the UL which positioned the bars perfectly for me. It was a windy day and side winds were NOT an issue. The final deciding factors were (1) the extra weight high up in the bars for the radio and speakers of both Limiteds along with the fact I listen through Bluetooth into my helmet from my iPhone anyhow + see weather on the iPhone and (2) the other touring accessories such as TourPak, fairing mount mirrors, Hammock seat for two, passenger floorboards, taller windshield, etc) all came out thousands (yes plural) less expensive than either Limited. So as opposed to a beginner touring bike, it was my base on which I used my 54 years of riding experience to equip for me without wasting money. Worked out great!! Thanks for the comparison report.
I have a 14 Sgs and went with the taller shield , 12 inch bars ,and lots of Ciro3D lights front and back . Added travel trunk and love the way it handles .
Finally I ve been waiting for a hands on comparison
Road glide with high bars that move your arms out are AWESOME. My one criticism of the Road Glide are those damn bars, what was H-D thinking? T-Rex is the best description for it!!
Fantastic video. Great format with different opinions. Loved it.
Really never thought id like the Roadglide, and was looking to the standard, then i got a Great deal and settled for a Roadglide......best settlement ever.
The rg in any form is far superior
@@danielolson5323 in what way? I’m beginning to plan selling my Sportster and go to some form of granny glide in my older age. So I’m curious to know what makes one model better than the other. I’ll be test riding a bunch on my own to see what I enjoy riding, but there’s nothing wrong with reading someone else’s opinion.
Hands down best review I've seen on these..Thank You!
Great reviews.. Was already leaning then same way, but you guys helped make my decision.
Glad u did this with two other riders. Ive been fighting with myself about going from my Honda fury to a electra or street glide and which one would be better choice for me. This helps...and time to test ride!
I have a street glide special, and I'm 5.8 boots are always a must to keep that good traction.and the low speed maneuvering you definitely need to be aware of. But once you've got about 500 hundred miles in the saddle it all gets easier.
Late to this party, but this was an amazing review! I love the format like others have said. I went to a demo day today at Harley and rode all the newest 2022 models. I liked the street glide special the best. I ride a Softail standard with lots done to it, including a windshield and I’ve got to say, my Softail is actually quicker than the street glide because of the power to weight ratio. My bike is setup for touring but weighs 200lbs less.
I have a 2019. Streetglide 207. Took it from az to ny this summer. 7100 miles round trip no problems with the bike. I would change the seat for a more comfortable ride. I use mobile synthetic 20 x 50 and change oil every 3000 miles. Great bike.
Thanks for have a lady rider. My wife went from a sporty to a road king and we could not find any riding experiences with woman on crusers. The info is a little late for my wife since she has been riding the king for three months. But for any other woman looking for review. This is great. Thank you.
So coming from a sportbike Gixer background, I just got my first HD. I have the extra glide standard, and I loooooooove it as do my friends and brothers I ride with. Love this comparison you three did!
My .02 is that I own a new 2019 Electra glide limited and F’n love it! No need to change a thing coming from a 2008 Springer softail. Comfort at 80mph on the highway for over an hour and radio is clear. Comfort is amazing no matter what anyone says but my experience.
I like the format as well. I'm facing a similar choice and have got it down to the Street or Electra. The engine size doesn't matter to me as I have a litre bike too. Thanks.
It is great to see they still offer the standard Electra Glide. I love my 2006 FLHTI as much as always. Have never ridden the others, probably better this way. I have excellent credit.
1. RG Ultra/Limited
2. RG Special
3. RG Standard
Some people just can’t handle the awesomeness...
Thank you guys! Very informative
I ride with a half-helmet on my Roadglide. I have a Sena Calvary that has Bluetooth communication. Works great with the fairing. Let me give you a heads up about the vents, they work amazing when it’s hot, if you buy Roadglide buy some aftermarket vent screens. Bugs can come through those vents & clock pretty hard.
Nice review format, dog went crazy with the bomb! 😂😂😂
Ive been told to ride both and it will be easier to decide. At first, i hated the RG due to the fixed fairing, but it grew on me. Im still leaning SG tho. Great vid. Thnk u
Can't wait to see you build out that SGS... c'mon, you know your gonna.
Block you guys rock. Always a great idea to add other riders input. Can see your results, but I’m a fan of a Rode Glide Special, because I own one. Still an informative video showing a fair review. Extra points for a lady’s perspective. 👍🏼 👏👏👏 😎
Wonderful comparison video!! 3 different persons and 3 different bikes, very cool thank you so much.
I ended up with the Electra Glide standard. It’s my daily driver and I’m genuinely happy with it. Fathead Cycles makes a drop-in, plug and play radio kit for it and it looks a lot better once you swap that windshield for black Klockwerks shield. Anyway, to me, it’s the best value for under 20K. That being said, I wish it had come with a 2-up seat and passenger pegs like the Road King has stock. Every once in awhile I Jones for a Road Glide, but I’m happy with my standard given the price haha
That road glide looks so good though. Criminal road glide!
My wife is 5'4", we put bags (air shocks) on hers. She is flat footed with sneakers now. She has a 2020 Street Glide.
Just switched from a 2019 forty eight I had for about 8 months to a 2019 street glide special and I LOVE it! I agree with her you’ll be cruising along at 50-60 and it feels like nothing! Def happy I made the switch! It’s also a much smoother ride. It’s like going from a Volkswagen to a Cadillac!
Blockhead top notch video man , it was really informative hearing Aaron's and Anna's input on there impression of all 3 rides , I bought the EGS because yes it's a great introduction into the Glide world, the SG and RG were a little to much right out of the box so I chose the Standard , thanks for everything keep it coming and Deuces bro.
Great video! Keep up the great reviews.
Big money difference between the electra standard compared to the SG and RG special too.
I just bought the Road King Special a month ago and love it. Already changed the bars and made it even better. If I felt I needed the infotainment the Street Glide would definitely be the choice. Fun video man as always!
What bars did you go with sir?
KST Kustoms 14” Renegades, I’m 5’11” and it’s got me just below shoulder height. 16” bars wouldn’t be over doing it if you like that little extra.
I rode the SGS and the RGS before I bought my RGS. I’m 6ft 2in tall and the riding position on the RGS fit me best. The first mod I did was the bars. Added Lo Chizled Apes and a solo seat! Fits me perfect now! End of the day, it’s all about personal preference.
Perfect video answered my questions on all three bikes
Thanks for doing this video, I had a 06 SG till I got a 18 RG, and now I wish I bought the SG now 🤦🏻♂️.. and a lot of RG peeps think I’m crazy!
Really informative great job
I really like this review format Block, excellent stuff.
Now THAT was a great video. I'd be a fan of the Road Glide and they'd probably liked it better if it was the CamoGlide setup
Around town and for shorter day trips, they’re all really great. Head out for a 500+ mi long day or a 1000+ mi multi-day adventure, the RG will prove why it’s preferred by so many experienced long distance riders.
Great info as usual
Love the video keep it up bro👊
I have a2019 Street Glide with a 107. I liked it but didn’t fall in love with it until I put 10” L A Choppers bars in.... oh my god the difference was night and day. Now I’m in love with my SG.
Before you buy.. try and ride a SG with higher bars on. 👍🤙
Agreed I have factory 47 14" Malos
What's your height mate, looking at the same bars
Zoran Stojevski I’m 5’ 11”
I went with 10” because I didn’t want the bars to be higher than the fairing.
I’m so glad I did... when I ride I can just relax down into my seat and I’m soooo comfortable.
Have to say the bars are such good quality, solid, great finish and much heavier than the stock bars. Very well made and lovely chrome finish.
What bars are you thinking of getting?
Well, you just helped me make my decision. Best comparison of the three that I have ever seen.
I've never ridden anything larger than a 1200 sportster. Hoping to get into a touring bike in the future. Love the looks of the street glide, but that new(er) Yamaha Eluder just looks so damn good.
Great review. The Street Glide is a more welcoming platform when coming to the HD touring line up. I have owned three Street Glides before trading for my now second Road Glide. Believe me, if you do a 500 mile day you are going to wish you had a Road Glide. Both good choices though.
Great vid I made the purchase and bought the streetglide special 2020,and love it!!!!
I really like the reviews being done on all three bikes at the same time. Maybe there should be a fourth bike an ultra Limited with the removable tour pack you get the mirrors up off the fairing and you get to feel the difference with and without the tour pack Good JOB.
She answered my question about 1 minute after I asked... I test drove the Street Glide Special yesterday. Nice... I'm 5' 5".
You have to have 2 feet down, incase you adjust that one foot or lean too far while stopped or stopping on an incline. That 849lbs will bite you.
YES IT WILL
@4The2nd I agree my 15 ultra limited is alot heavier. Getting on any of these reviewed feels like riding lite toy. Although I'd rather a bike with less wieght.
I’m totally down with the EGS. Don’t need the stereo/nav and I like the simple look. Thought I liked the RG more but it does feel huge. Definitely the same as you the looks off it are better than on it by far, don’t have that feeling with the batwing. I also don’t love the pullback bars on the RG so much. Great video, love the opinions from all three of you as you’re riding. Definitely helping my decision. I’m glad the FLHT was appreciated and not just picked on.
Ive owned alot of different Harley's and the one I like th best is the Street Glide. Very comfortable on long trips plus you can accually hear the radio, and it has blue tooth that you can listen to your own music! And the power, wow!
Road glide for life! It handles like a top! I have a 2019 RGS in billiard blue
George Farah Love that color, nicest color Harley makes in my opinion. I have a 18 RGS in Vivid Black my next one will be Billiard blue 👍🏻
I would like to thank you for that review, I wasn't sure about the road glide, but was always partial to the street glides.
The only thing that I didn't like about the street glide I bought was the little windshield, so I put a full sized one on mine, and now its perfect!
Electric Guide is great for the value and was told by GM @ PCB HD that all the wiring is already installed to add audio system, but if you.just wanted all install already go with the Street Guide either way Mr.Blockhead go for it .great group video ride!
I have a the same 2020 street glide...love it... its the first harley i ever rode
Was going to PU a 19.5 EGS when it came out but decided to wait for the '20 to come out because it comes standard with ABS ('19.5 ABS was a 900 option) / also my decision to go with EGS was based on putting new Custom Dynamics LED lights all the way around, an upgraded SONY XAV/7000 stereo system, Klockwerks windscreen and still be 10k lighter than the SGS. IMO the SGS has more color options & the 114 motor, but with all the upgrades I did on my EGS and the front tire being smaller ( tire & wheel standard on all EGS beefier tire ) I feel overall it's the best riding bike as well as best value
I have street glides for years and my wife bought a road glide and I felt the same way. love the look of the road glide but felt weird on it. but the longer I ride the road glide I want to trade mine in on a road glide..
Great content, thanks for sharing your thoughts and comments. Helps alot!!!
Great video I just bought the street glide love it
Blockhead, I purchased the standard in April just after it came out. I added a stage 1 kit to it along with some more blacked out accessories. I put the street glide seat on it for some style and comfort. Approximately 8,500 miles and never had an issue. I did add the 4 inch blacked out windshield for better air flow. I no longer have the bike since a vehicle pulled out in front of me and hit me making us collide and totaling the bike. The open compartment is nice for gloves and a slightly used water bottle. I will be buying another bike, most likely a Road Glide. Near big trucks the fairing has some buffering with a batwing fairing. With you being who you are with all of the electronics and gloves I believe you’d enjoy the fairing storage of the Road Glide. P.S. this was all commented before y’all got on the bikes so it may get an edit. I’d love to hear back from you if you have FLHT questions!!
Have a SGS,but preferred my E-Glide for distance.There’s a slot in between for an RK( I had 2),and found them to be a great all a-rounder.Never rode a road glide.
I own a street glide, owned it for five years, my dad has the road glide, he’s had it for four years. Dude I like the road glide so much more then my street glide. I always ride his road glide. Just giving you my opinion
.
My thoughts exactly
Ill never argue that they aren't better to ride... but they are so inexcusably ugly!
Jasen Haynes has
K
Literally LoL'ed at the "pedaling" motion around the 23:10 mark......and the Atomic fist-bump
I've got the Roadglide special, until I get new bars I just popped the pin and bobbed them forward and it's much better.
I'm cheap that's why I bought the 2019 electra glide standard gets me down the just fine
I just bought a electra mainly because of the price but I really like the bike it's super comfortable and it can easily be customized as you want when you want
4The2nd that’s why people buy non-Harley bikes. If it’s too expensive, then I’ll get a nice Honda or Kawasaki. If Harley keeps everything expensive, only Boomers will buy them. Most young people don’t have money 💴
@@wasteofusername1 Im 20 and own a HD and agree completely
Harleys are expensive. But I wouldn't ride anything else. I could afford a brand new one, but why go broke when I can get a 5 year old bike for 1/2 price?
You guys mentioned bar swapping. A friend of mine recently got a Street Glide and asked the dealership about the cost for slightly taller bars. With as labor-intensive as that is, that bill can easily top $1,000.
Sport glide with windshield extension? Has best wheels in the lineup imo. Plus can strip it down to naked when you want and looks good as well.
Road Glide wins hands down when traveling long distances in 40+ mph winds.
Road glide wins over 100mph as well! Ask me how I know.
Hell naw.
Cece T how do you know
I own a Road King
Wind fatigue is real.. I don't travel long distance enough to switch. Love my Road King
@@rleedeplorable1262 Road King is a great choice.
Thank you for the video, was seriously thinking about buying a Harley. You cleared my confusion
INFOTAINMENT CENTER BETTER SUSPENSION BETTER SEAT first bike is a 14 Electra Glide with full infotainment center. The clutch is something to get usto. But I love the baggers thinking about the trunk detach kit. But would not go to anything else. And I love the extra trunk space
Yay for Captain Ana! I always relate to her reviews! :D
Thank you for the display between all 3 bikes. My next bike will be a Street Glide Special.
Fat head cycles in Maryland has a plug and play stereo system kit for the Electra glide standard.
This video was absolutely perfect in my opinion. I like the simultaneous rider feedback and rolling shots of each. I agree with Ana. Street glide sp. then the Electra glide then the street glide again 😂 (no road glide).
Great video, thanks 🙏🏾
Any reason no road glide though?
@@capricornblack3450 no road glide in my opinion because if its not a custom big wheel up front then it looks awkward to me… and when riding my view looking down feels awkward as well. If im doing a custom show bike ill do road glide if not its bat wing style for me.
Not going to lie but the start of the video has some really good quality perfect picture and good music it grabbed my attention immediately
Awesome editing, great music, epic bikes.. all you could ask from a TH-cam video.
Dig the vid my man. I just purchased a 19 Electra Glide Standard 3 weeks and love it I’m 50 and 5’5-6 185-90lbs and yes men or women I just put on thicker sole boots and problems solved. Just be extra careful when maneuvering that bike at low speeds or this thing is tipping over and believe me it’s HELL getting it up. Other than the weight of these bikes they rock. “Keep the rubber side down, happy riding .”
Block about to get a Street Glide!! I have an '18 and love it
Great video, loved it
Hey man, If the traiif signals are anything like the ones in Australia, They dont go off weight, it picks up electrical currents put off by the engine of a vehicle.
Without a doubt my fav version of a review. Even if I do prefer the Rd Glide... LoL. my GF prefers the Rd King. Great review.
Nice video. Street Glide Special looks the most comfortable. The vision was it for me.
