I'VE OFFICIALLY MADE MY DECISION! Which Harley-Davidson Bagger will I choose?
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 มิ.ย. 2021
- I've officially made my decision! Road Glide or Street Glide? I can't thank @harleydavidson enough for loaning this gorgeous Street Glide to me for a few weeks to really get a feel for this bike! After riding it around, I have come to the conclusing that I STILL love the Road Glide! She's the bike for me!
Now that doens't mean i'm going to turn around and buy a Road Glide haha! BUT it does mean that I feel confident enough to base my decision off the ample opportunities to test ride multiple different H-D platforms and really learn which motorcycle will be the best fit for myself, my riding style, and my future!

I’ve officially made my decision to GET A BAGGER! If you paid close attention towards the end, you’ll figure out which one I’m leaning towards. 😉 🦈
But...but...the Road King
Extended test ride on that next ?
Ride on HTDubs! :D
you should get the Road Glide.. the Street Glide's front end is similar to your existing Harley Jess, at least with the Road Glide, the whole front panel stays in place when you turn (just like how Queen.Sit describes it), different from your existing Harley and the Street Glide (panel also moves when you move the front end), just my two cents, hihi.. don't get me wrong, all these bikes are amazing! im just sharing the difference, ride safe!!
Crazy your from ohio im from Pennsylvania right on the border. My first bike got it last year is a 06 electra glide standard but it's not much of a standard anymore I have 14 in bars nice tunes and some accessories wish I could post a pic lol but I couldn't start on a small bike my uncles fat boy was too small I'm 6'4 and was 350 I'm down under 300 now an the bike feels great I'm glad you switched over
An you'll love the heal toe shifter you'll catch on quick and really you can still use it regular with out the heal if you wanted to
It’s really cool that Harley just loaned you a couple bikes like that
Good video Jess, and yes, a riders impression of the "feel" of the bike is more useful then specs. Specs is everywhere :-). So. thank you for letting me know your thoughts of the bike!!
I love my 2012 Street Glide!! Only has 4300 miles on her!!! Physical therapist won’t let me ride for another month!! I’m riding with you on each video!!!! Thanks Jess!!!!
@Delmond Devaux what is that?? Had rotator cuff surgery???
I went from a 2016 sportser to a 2018 street glide and I'm in love with my bagger. Whole different ride and style. I'm already hitting 8k miles on the bagger and then some. Thanks for another awesome video Jess. Take care, ride safe, and God bless
I ❤️ my Street Glide! Note* A visor pouch solves the extra storage up front-like you get with the Road Glide. They’re both great bikes.
I really like the "clocks" / gauges on this bike - simple, classic, beautiful!
It’s amazing to see how much your channel/brand has grown. I’m excited to see the opportunities that have opened up for you. Keep doing what you do.
Thank you so much!! Sometimes i'm like, "WTF am I doing?!" and other times I'm like, "This is SO FUN!" hahaha! I appreciate the kind words!
Glad you're expanding your horizons. Looks like TX and Babes Ride Out was fun for all. From other channels as well. Keep up the good work. 👍😎
I love what you are doing here, Jess. Just giving the viewers your oppinion on that Street Glide, what you would and would not change, if you would own one to make it fit better for you. And you encourage others to modify the standard version for their fits. It is also nice to see where you come from, the bikes you owned and not owned but rode. I really like this format. I also enjoyed the babe ride out videos. Greetings from Bonn, Germany.
Another enjoyable video Jess. Great job at being honest and not making it a sales pitch. Stay safe and you almost used my saying at the end....KEEP ON KEEPING ON! LOL
I needed this too. I used to ride and still miss it very much. Enjoy.
Your upgrading from the Shadow to a bigger bike confirmed my decision to buy a bigger bike right out of the gate.
I am a new rider (at 50 yrs old). When I started this journey, the best piece of advise I got was to NOT get a bike with less than 1100cc. The quote was "you can only twist that throttle on a smaller engine so far, before you're out of power. You can't twist more power out of it, no matter how hard you twist. But, you can always BABY the throttle of a bigger engine." That totally spoke to me. As I was shopping around for a bike, I saw so many ads for smaller engine bikes being sold with the reason of "I need a bigger bike." I didn't want to be THAT person in that same situation. I shopped around and found a BRAND NEW 2018 Suzuki Boulevard M90 for about $4K less than MSRP. It's a 1500cc engine. For a brand new rider, it is a lot to take on (especially since it's over 700 lbs.). I was really intimidated at first (scared to death, honestly). Luckily, I have a friend with a Honda Shadow (similar to yours) that was kind enough to offer me her bike to learn on. Having NEVER ridden a motorcycle before, after about 1.5 hours of practicing on her bike, my bike didn't seem as frightening. I just had to get over the fear. 3 months later, I now have over 1700 miles on my bike and no regrets at all. I would offer the same advise to anyone else out there starting today.
Great video young lady !!
Glad the rain stopped long enough for you to get a ride in.
Stay safe out there !!
Great video as always! I went from a Dyna to a SGS and can’t believe the difference! Don’t miss the Dyna at all
It’s nice how much you love your baggers and your progression towards them. In my family my son has a Rode Glide Special and I have a Street Glide Special. Points you made are right on. His faring is further out and has more storage. Mine is closer in and the one storage pocket will not fit my phone, only my garage door opener. But he’s got longer arms and carries more junk up front than I do. As for handling and comfort, having swapped bikes, they’re both about the same IMO, and he’s in agreement. Whatever you ultimately choose, both are winners.
I’m really glad you took that bike out. I really like that bike too coming from a 2013 electric glide classic I prefer the bat wing. I’m a new rider as well about three seasons. Love your videos and watching your popularity grow. Honesty is a great feature and keeping is done to earth and very real. Look forward to more - all best from Fort Erie Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦
I just went from a 2019 mt 09 to a 2012 street glide and love it. I got it June 3rd of this year and already put 2000 miles on it lol. Enjoy the content and I hope you enjoy your new bike from here on out.
That's awesome 🤙🏼
Awesome Jess, can't wait till you make that full leap! until then, keep riding!!
I also felt like I broke my back while riding a backpack a while ago, so I really sympathize with you. Always be safe!
Love watching your videos. I’m a new rider. Only riding for 2 months. I am having a blast. Watching your videos help me get the courage to go further and further. My husband has a huge hand into getting me to ride, but you have encouraged me to do so as well. Seeing women ride is awesome. So far the farthest I have ridden is an hour from my home. Keep up the great videos.
Awww that’s so exciting! Every time you get the bike out you will learn something new and gain just a smidge more confidence! Seeing other women riders having fun and growing was my main inspiration to “keep going” as well! Thank you for the kind words! Keep your knees to the breeze!
Watching all your different motorcycle videos, while still having my crf250l rally. Someday (due to finances as well) Ill get a street bike! Love your just talking while riding videos!!
You are awesome! I love you and your videos! As always, I can't wait for your next one!
I love my SG , I have test ridden the RG love it as well. I have short arms so I like having instrument panel closer . Both the RG and SG are great bikes
Hi Jess, I love your videos, they give me a sense of what it's like to ride a big bike and I like your unique way of looking at things, it always makes me smile. I sadly can't get a car or bike licence due to the fact that I am a chronic epileptic so your videos are my favourite way to experience different bikes and what it's like in relation to your other test drives. Love your camping videos just as much. Thanks. Fond Regards from the Emerald Isle. Twiglet, aka Jas the Bass...
Congrats! Enjoy riding!
I like taking a ride with you Jess. Can't wait till you get that Road Glide. You be safe and good.
Love that Red. I had a 1999 Aztec Orange / Diamond Ice 1200 Sportster. Harley has awesome color combinations.
Thanks for the ride that is a beautiful bike you take care and ride safe
Good choice! I've loved riding my Road Glide ever since I got it!!! Ride safe!
I just love that there’s a motorcycle out there to suit everyone 😎🏴
I love frame mounted fairings. I ride FXR mostly, so my favorite bagger is the Road Glide. That being said, some times it all comes to finishes and how they look on both the SG and the RG. Both are amazing fairings. They have evolved just right.
Cool!! You ride a FXR too! I ride a 1991 FXR 😊
Jess you rock! Love the channel and content keep up the great work! I'm here for the algorithm! Peace
Woohoo! I have a Road Glide and I love it! You won't regret getting one!
Glad your having fun
Very nice! Love these ride vids and conversations about all things motorcycle 😎 ride on sister!
My sportster is the same year, model, and color of your father in law’s. I have had mine for 4 years. It had 1,200 miles when I got it and after a trip from KY to TX, a ride down the Blueridge Parkway, and countless rides to and from work and moto camping, it’s sitting at 40,000 now. Gotta love the sporty!!!
Love both bikes! Owned a SGS for 4 years and now I have a 2021 RGS absolutely can’t go wrong with either!
Last year when I was looking for my next bike it was between the Streetglid and Road King. Needless to say the Road King won out I guess I'm still old school and I just didn't want the faring yet. I have found sometimes where the faring would have been nice( like when it was 46 degrees and I road 180 mi from Salem Oh to Columbus to get my Jeep) that was cold. But all in all I love my Road King but maybe my next bike will be the Streetglid only time will tell. Stay safe out there and keep making the good videos.
Great video. You look good riding that Street Glide. I love my Street Glide. Enjoy! Classy of Baltimore
I just bought a new 2021 Road Glide Special myself. I absolutely love the road glides, and love that I now own one.
Great talk about the bike and I'm glad you like it. I will point out that you can get a bit more storage by getting it with the lower fairings. It's like the road glide pockets but not quite as convenient. But still extra storage nevertheless.
Very cool video, this why I subscribed to watch the ride and hear your thoughts. That SG is a beautiful bike, could see you on the SGS in that color blacked out. 😊
I think eventually I want something like this bike. I ride an ADV VSTROM, but a cruiser seems like a comfy ride. Thanks for the vid HTDubs!
I'll never get rid of my VSTROM though, I love that beast
My first bike was a Honda VTX 1300C. It has worked out and I still have it, but after a year, I think starting on something smaller would have been good. I'm happy with my bike now, and I don't plan to get anything else any time soon, but I can definitely see the wisdom in starting on something a little bit smaller and easier to handle.
Great vid! I’m definitely a bagger type of guy, they are so convenient and I reckon they just look stylish 😎
Now try the Indian Chieftain and Challenger for a total bagger comparison, the bagger market is a buyers paradise these days and so many great options and spec levels. Love your vids. Hi from Tasmania, Australia!!
For me I don't have a preference I'll ride any two wheels out there. But I am impressed with you. Because you will take on any kind of challenge and overcome it. because you are showing the other women out there that they can do whatever it is they want to do and not be afraid and for that I applaud you that's why I watch your videos so keep up the good work👍🏍🏍🏍🏍
Happy it quit raining for you. We are looking at triple digits the next few days in Portland. I can.t ride that bike Because as I have said I am short and I would not be seeing over the fairing well enough to feel safe so you keep riding it for me!!!! I will keep riding my Bobber :)
Awsome bike.. i have a 17 low rider but I really want a road king for touring 🤘
Harley offers another bagger that it seems nobody really pays attention to ... the Electraglide. I'm really crushing on the 2021 Electraglide revival myself ... old school look with the spring seat ... absolutely beautiful.
Love your vids. Thanks for the ride :-)
Greets, T.
Congrats on deciding! I LOVE MY ROAD GLIDE! Good luck finding the right one for you. Are you going to try to find a 2020 RGS in Zephyr Blue like you test rode last year?
It’s so cool that you’ve built your channel to the point that you can be an influencer for Harley.
I had 2 2015 Street Glide Specials. Great bikes!!! I now have a 2020 Road Glide Standard. I love both bikes!!!
I did I had a vstar 650 and about 2 months of that I bought myself a electra glide classic. For me I'm turning into baggers for life.
Beautiful bike..!! Love your videos...
I'm curious now...might go test a glide now lol
2018 street glide was my 3rd bike and it was great till I test road a 2019 road glide ultra and I never looked back. By far my favorite bike
Really dig into the pros and cons of a special over a standard and vice versa. You can kit out a standard with all the “special” stuff. Minus RDRS, VHC, 114”, black finish, and a couple other proprietary things.
Im right there with ya. I love my road glide!! I do not want any other bagger. Maybe a road king perhaps but I will always have a road glide as my main. Getting ready to put a few thousand miles on her out in Sturgis.
Harley Davidson's pretty great... Thet regularly give the Shadetree crew extended test rides as well. It's awesome that you have had the chance to find your "chosen few".
Great video, I am considering trading up to a bagger. I like the way the batwing faring looks, it's a tough decision.
Awesome, I got the 21 SGS ...love it, already put over 2 grand in accessories and not done yet lol
Started on a Yamaha vstar 1300 in October and put 7k miles on that. Went on vacation to Florida and rode my sister’s street glide, couple days later on Father’s Day I traded my bike in and got a 2015 ultra classic and loving it. Rode to Florida on a Yamaha rode back to Georgia on a sweet ultra with only 5k miles on it
Loved the bike you had on an earlier episode, for your friend to ride to NY. Sport Glide! I would miss you not riding your Dyna, but that Sport Glide is all that.
Liked the video. One thing you will need when you get a bagger. Leather saddle bag cover, prevent them from getting scratched when you kick your leg over getting on. Myself I ride a Road Glide for one of the reasons you said on your video. There is so many Street Glides out there, Road Glides stand out more because not so many. Also when you park with hundreds of other bikes like at Sturgis. Easier to spot because its different.
If you step up onto the right side floorboard before throwing your leg over, you won't have an issue kicking your bags anymore. 🤙🏼
I love hearing your enthusiasm for baggers! I’m team 🦈 if we are picking teams haha. I ride a 30 years old Harley and I totally hear you about LOVING your motorcycle but wanting another for long distance rides.
Right! It's the best of both worlds! haha!
The street glide is an amazing machine. I have a 2019 and love it. I also ride a 1997 softail springer and a 2006 custom chopper build. My springer is hard running and rides hard, it’ll beat your ass after a lot of miles but that street glide is the Cadillac of Harleys.
Hey Jess, been a subscriber for a little over a year . Like your channel. We just had our 19th annual ride for freedom, at Wolverine Harley Davidson Chesterfield Township Michigan it’s supports our veterans and first responders we had over 450 bikes registered awesome ride put it on your calendar for next year thanks and be safe
Good afternoon from Spain Mss Jess. I totally agree with you. I love the road glide special, as we say in Spain "if I ever play the lottery...." that would be my whim, a cherry red road glide special.. 😍😍. Greetings from Spain.. ✌️✌️
I haven’t had a chance to ride a road glide but I did ride my buddy’s ultra glide a couple weeks ago and fell in love with it
You wont regret it one bit! I had a 2012 Street glide that I purchased new and most recently bought a 2019 Road glide special. I actually feel like the weight of the fairing on the streetglide aided handling in slow speeds as opposed to hindering it. The road glide's controls for radio selection and navigating the screen are intuitive and easy to use and frankly when you're riding a motorcycle, majority of the time it's just safer to keep those hands on the bars rather than reaching for and touching a screen. Anyway that's my two cents.. Enjoy that new Road glide!!
Thank you 😄
The biggest difference(Other than asthetics) is the entire weight of the fairing is on your handle bars with a street glide where as with the fixed fairing on the Road Glide it is way easier to manuver. I feel the RG cuts through wind better and is way less fatiguing on long trips which is why I own & love a Road Glide Special! Also I am 6'6" and the street glide just felt very cramped with everything "right there". The RGS fits me but to each their own! Whatever works for you is exactly what you should do! Ride Safe!
Not another bike you absolutely love just pick one and stick with it (or not) another great vlog thanks Steve
Great video! I ride a street glide and a Heritage, give me a Harley and I’ll ride it! Love your channel
Your glasses are great.
Just did Cincinnati to Athens to Charleston on my new street glide. Even knocked out a couple of the windy 9 rides while I was over there. I couldn’t have done it on my old heritage especially because I do all my riding two up. Love my bagger.
Jess
You do a great job for the Bagger Nation! 😁👍🏻🇺🇸 as for me I agree with you on the Road-Glide! Best HD ever…owned several HD’s including street and road-glides. Currently I have 2018 CVO Road glide Gunship Grey the best ever HD with Rockford Stereo!
Cheers! Dave-Hollywood
It rains in summer ? Another great video. Thank you. !!
Those bikes are so nice , I understand how the dana rides , I owned a lowrider 2018 lover it , traded it in on a 2014 ultra limited , with noregrates about doing it .
Batwing! Oh, and you may want to try your Jaws mount on the right handlebar, I find it fits better there. The cubby with the USB cable is a joke though - my phone doesn't fit either. Its best use is for upgrading the firmware for the radio. Love love love my Street Glide!
Good video again. Keep up the good work!
You made the right decision as a beginning rider to go with the 600. I would advise that to anyone. I would advise against anyone that's a new Rider to get a 1200
That's amazing! Here in Spain they don't even let you try the motorcycle before buying it...
Your motorcycle progression is almost the same as mine; Buell then Sportster, then Dyna, now Softail. Haven't had the nerve to try a bagger yet.
Just tuned in to your channel...love your content and your choice of HD you want but where I live Batwings are everywhere and some Sharknose...you can't go wrong they are the exact same bike with different wind deflectors...I say if it makes you smile when you see it that's your bike...me I ride a 16 CVO SG black licorice with blue cobalt flames stage two with Khrome Werks exhaust...get the bike that makes you smile...Junebug from Rialto California 👍🏿✌🏿☝🏿
There's a great thing called a throttle lock you should get one for the Dyna. Surprised you didn't get one already throttle locks have always been my cruise control setup have fun stay safe
I love my 19’ Road Glide Ultra almost as much as I love my wife. We love going places on it and love modifying it. We have been all over Indiana, Michigan, your neck of the woods Ohio, all over Kentucky, Tennessee, both Carolinas. We came from a Dyna also.
Hi, I have a 2020 Street Glyde. And I love it.
Really? And you cant spell it correctly??
I'm not a "Harley-guy" and I'm definitely not in the market for a new bike, but you are probably the best voice for Harley Davidson on the internet. You connect with the fastest rising segment of the industry (women riders), you speak from a relatively new rider's perspective (just six years of riding) and you speak to where it can take you.. both physically, geographically, experientially and psychologically. All that said, I hope you've given a strong reminder to Harley and every other manufacturer to the value of a test ride of a new bike. I've always been amazed I could take a $150,0000 Lexus or Mercedes for a test drive after ten minutes with a salesperson, but not a $20,000 motorcycle. Makes no sense..
Very cool. I like the look of the Bat wing, ( that's what I have ) but the Shark nose handles better, it's like the front end is lighter or something. Like you said, to each their own. What I can't figure out is why someone would watch a video just to give it a thumbs down. So weird. Be safe Jess !!
My first street bike was a 200 Kawasaki. Just starting out in 1978. 18 years old. Rode off rode bikes for years before that.
Love road kings over the road glide or street glides but its what each individual feels on a certain model
Ultra smooth running bike. Looks great...and it matches your helmet color. Doesn't get any better than that.
I have a heel shifter on my Harley street glide and I never use it 😂
It makes life easier, and you don't mess up your boots.
hi I've owned 3 batwing fairing baggers but in dec. 2020 I bought a new road glide limited what I have discovered is the batwing fairing blocks a little bit more air ,little . what I think though is the road glide fairing cuts the air better giving you a little better gas mileage I have 12k on the new bike now. enjoy !
Great video. I was back and forth between the Street Glide and the Road Glide myself until my local Harley-Davidson store did their Demo Days a few weeks ago. Having ridden both of them back to back, it was a hands down decision for me >>>>>> Road Glide. The front end felt much lighter at all speeds. Also, price. The MSRP on the RG is actually $300 cheaper plus it comes with the dual LED headlamps. If I purchased the SG, the first mod would be to get a LED headlight. Also, I do not like the mirrors on the fairing on the SG, so that's another mod to get new handle-bar mounted mirrors. Over time, for me the look of the RG with its shark-nosed fairing is preferred over the bat-winged look. This is truly subjective though. The increased distance to the dash on the RG was an initial concern for me as well, but, practically everything on the infotainment screen is accessible from the handlebar mounted switches. After riding both back-to-back, I actually enjoyed the increased distance. >>>>>>> Perhaps the #1 reason I prefer the RG over the SG is at highway speeds of 65-75 mph, the SG was giving me a fair amount of wind buffeting on my helmet. This was NOT the case with the RG. At 5'8" with a 30" inseam, the RG fit me perfectly (both feet firmly on the ground) and the windshield height was spot on. Of course the windshield can be changed out on the SG to improve the wind buffeting issue, but again, I would have to spend more money on top of the LED headlamps and new mirrors mods previously mentioned. The RG and SG are, of course, the same bike from the fairing back. But, for me, the fairing (and the headlights and the mirrors) makes all of the difference and this is why my vote is for the Road Glide.
Definitely love my road glide, Had a street glide and a ultra classic but once I got out on the road glide it was all done for the bat wing bikes.
I have a 2015 street glide special and I love my street glide I use the windshield pouch and I have 12 inch bars and put a phone mount on there.
