- This would happen the first time I ride my brand new loaner bike! @harleydavidson sent me this brand new, 2021 Street Glide motorcycle to ride around on for a few weeks. (It's a loaner bike, I don't get to keep it!) You know how much I LOVE The Harley-Davidson Road Glide, well this is my very first time experiencing a Street Glide! The differences are small but VERY noticeable between the two motorcycles.
My experience and opinions on this bike are purely my own. Harley-Davidson is not paying or asking me to say anything about my loaned motorcycles. They simply offered to loan me a couple bikes simply to experience them!
I can't wait to crush some miles on this motorcycle! Which one do you prefer? Street Glide or Road glide? Comment below!
P.S. As for the audio issues on the GoPro... I am using the Hero7 black with a mic adapter. The mic adapter has to plug into the side of the camera negating it's waterproof door. I COULD waterproof the adaption point with wax or putty, but I would have to completely dissemble the whole thing to get to the memory card afterwards. For this quick video, I was unaware of the chance for rain. Leaving me to deal with the consequences lol.

Harley-Davidson loaned this brand new, 2021 Street Glide! I get to ride and experience this motorcycle for a couple weeks and I can't wait to get some miles in her seat! Where should I ride her?? Also, Before you comment about how I could waterproof the GoPro... please read the description! 💗
Dirt roads! Forget the triumph. Go full bagger on those roads!!! Lmao!
I wish I would have seen it on Facebook sooner but the Harley Davidson that my grandpa built was at east farrow Harley Davidson 3days ago and it was a raffle bike 35$ a ticket it looks so good though
I hope at some point you get to ride a Night Rod with a Fat Boy. That'll be pretty sweet. Or even a Boss Hoss. I mean that's a big piece of machinery with a V8 engine but you can do it!!!!!
The street glide looks super comfortable, pop a saddlemen seat on her and I would be happy. Try a little Flex Seal on the GoPro and you are good to go..😆
I bought a 2018 Street Glide Special a few months ago. I’m 5’4” and it fits me well. Previously rode a Heritage Springer and often toll my husband’s road glide on long trips. To me the RG is just smoother at high speeds and I like the look better. The SG won me over because it handled like I was still on my Springer. I had the shorter windshield initially & it would be fine for around town. I put on a taller Memphis Shade and it made a huge difference. Overall, I love my Fancy!
Road king, it’s the most versatile. The road king does everything great.
That was my thought process too when I bought my king just 2 months ago.
I love my road king, but I do a lot of interstate commuting, kinda wish I’d got a street glide
I own both a Road King standard and a Road Glide special. If I had to sell one the Road Glide would be the one I sold. There honestly is not much difference in wind protection and the Road King is a much more playful bike on the back roads. Running it through s turns and just turns in general just so much more fun! The Road Glide is fun if I want to go long day's on a two week trip but you really feel the extra weight in day to day short trip use. Just my opinion.
@@rodzimmerman1979 I repect that opinion. I dont own both but love the ride feel of the road king, does feel like all the wieght is nice and low. Fells more agile, that I get. But The Wife and I will go out and lay down 300 400 500 miles day trips on a pretty regular basis, I like my tunes and the wind shooting over my head, Also like passing an oncomming truck on a 2 lane and not feeling it. Sticking with my RGS.
I went from a Street Glide to a road King. BTW, I got the SGS for the nav.. and never used it cuz I had my phone mounted on the bars. Stereo was nice.
Looks like Harley Davidson is finally learning to take advantage of the motovlog community. I think they will reach so much more of their target audience through motovlogers than through Jason Mamoa commercials. And I like Jason but you guys will sell more bikes
I couldn't agree more... youtubers reach a lot of people that could be a potential sale...
Personally I research the hell out of stuff before I buy it. TH-cam is a great way to learn about stuff and if there’s a bike that I have interest in I will TH-cam it. Great platform to live vicariously through others before I myself take the leap.
Jason is my dude, but he isn't hanging out with us all twice a week. Although I probably wouldn't complain if he did.
Street Glide! Swap the seat for Saddlemen and get a Klock Werks windshield and buffeting will not be a problem.
Well since they only loaned it to her, not sure that's in the plans. But that would be awesome if they help her out.
Agreed that is exactly what I did on mine.
LOL Funny you say this-I swapped the Street Glide for the Road Glide special, almost instanly got the Klock werks sport flare and my saddleman is on order
After owning different bikes with and without fairing,I chose for the Road King. I love that I can remove the fairing and put it back so easily.
Streetglide is the way to go, you will find alot great features with the Streetglide just give it time.
GPS is good
Jess, glad to see HD is trying to connect with you and other vloggers. Perfect way to sell bikes.
Congrats 🎉 on the two Harleys, what a compliment to you Jess.
Really enjoyed today’s ride with you on the Harley.
You take care and ride safe.

Love my Road King. Such an amazing bike. Has the ability to quick detach the windshield, has that classic look that will never go out of style. Love Street Glides and Road Glides, but as you already know, here in Ohio you can throw a rock in the air about anywhere and hit one. I personally wanted something different from everyone else! But, to each their own, just matters that you ride something!
You are such a champ for hitting all of those events and keeping up with all of these videos while working! You rock and I feel the pain.
😅😅😅 it’s catching up to me!
Man I love the way the road glides look but that street glide looks so good
I love how candid you are. You certainly tell it like it is for you. Ask for these bikes, I like the road glide . Remember the Street glide only has 2.5 inches of travel in the rear. Not enough as far as I'm concerned. Keep up the great work with you tube. I'll keep watching.
Jess, I have a 2019 Street Glide and I love it... Just rode 2200 miles in wind and rain and heat. I have a 9 inch windshield and I think it helps a lot! Great channel..ride safe!!
I'm on a 2016 CVO street glide and LOVE IT! The gps, media connection, all the bells and whistles!!! You look great on that Red bike with your Red helmet!! ♥️
I think your in a similar place in life where maybe you were struggling before but your getting over the tipping point and are starting to do well. You don't have to apologize or defend the ways you are being blessed. I just thank God, work hard and help those who I can help so they can hopefully do the same.
Jess so proud that you get the opportunity to do the things you do. I saw another youtuber that uses dental wax to put around the mic. adaptor to help mak it open port a little more weather proof.
that is a beautiful bike really like the color thanks for taking us on the ride take care and ride safe stay dry
Someone’s looking good on street glide
I have street glide and in my opinion I think it rides like a cadi. Love all the options on it. Like that red on this one, suits you really good by the way. The front feels a bit heavy but kinda like it makes me feel more secure in a since of way. Glad you had fun with this one though.
Easy for some people to forget that most of us have real jobs too haha
This cold brew addiction ain’t gonna pay for itself! 😅
Huge congrats for being in a position to be able to borrow those motorcycles. I’m sure it took a lot of work! The bike looks amazing and the navigation is sick!
Great video as always. I love my 2019 street glide since I came from a 2000 Dyna wide glide.
I'm riding a 2020 Streetglide and totally love this bike. But I did switched my windscreen to a 7 inch screen and what a big difference it made. Absolutely the perfect size...and yes im 5'7" as well.
I had the same issue with buffeting when I rode the Street Glide. I opted for a Road King Special; the Road Glide is awesome I just don't need all that stuff up front on the fairing. Take your time and get what you want.
Hey Jess, have been riding Road Glides for going on 20 years. For trips and hauling they are the best! Safe travels and enjoy 😎
I understand completely when it comes to filming & editing videos 🧡
i owned SG special 2015 model and still enjoy riding on every mile. perfect riding machine on highway and expressway.
I'm a 2020 Road King Special owner. I love the bike. The unobstructed vision from the faringless bike is cool with a windshield added that you can easily put on and off. I chose it over my second choice of a Road Glide Special.
Keep on grinding lady! You are doing amazing kick butt things.
Its amazing how your channel has grown. I think everyone gets jealous at success sometimes. Could I sit here and complain about how I only have 200 subs sure but will it get me anywhere not really. We need to push ourselves to get the things we want. Nothing gets handed to you but taxes. BTW It was nice meeting you in Torchys at the Get On Moto Fest. Keep on moving forward Jess 👊
I rode both Road Glide & Street Glide. Had the dealership put 14" windscreen on the Street Glide. Still got buffeting like crazy. The Road Glide was much much much much better of a ride for me personally. I knew it within the first couple miles. I am tall at 6'4, the street glide, I felt to compacted. 2021 RGS sits in my garage now. Just picked it up Saturday with 6mi on it. Could Not be happier.
One of the first long rides my wife and I took on our trike ended this way. We saw the storm and tried to dodge it and then out run it. Didn't work, got soaked and ended up with a story to tell. Be safe out there!!
About the buffeting…I found by personal experience that air come up about mid tank on the right side and it hits your chin area causing the buffet. I bought some air deflectors that mount on the forks just below the fairing. That is what fixed the buffeting for me. I did try the taller windscreen and it helped but the defectors were the fix.
I really enjoy your channel and the content you put out. Keep up the great work!
Road Glide for sure!
I love my Street Glide. Although it is a 2009 and does not have some of the tech. It is heavy, but I have gotten used to it. Before I bought it I also tested a Road Glide, but I preferred the SG. Thanks for the great videos.
Hello Jess , i think the more you ride the street glide the more you will like it i have a red one just like it and i love it i have lowered mine one inch and put 12 in mini apes on it it ride and handles great loved the footage thanks for sharing
I have a Street Glide so I'm a bit biased, but all three are beautiful bikes. My bike has a Klock Works windscreen and lower bat wing deflectors and I don't notice any buffeting. Love the vids!!
I've ridden the Road King, Road Glide, and Street Glide. IMO I think the Road Glide is the best handling of the 3. It is so well balanced for it's size and once I saw the RG Custom that I have now I fell in love with this bike. Lots of storage. It is a 2011 model I got this past Feb. No fancy Nav/Infotainment system, but bought an adapter to BT my music. I like all 3, but the Road Glide is the one I would choose for handling purposes. Enjoy the vids! Hopefully I'll get to take it camping sometime soon!
Klock werks flared windshield helps a lot. The layout of the dash, screen, and gps is the biggest difference between the glides other than the fairing. Mean city cycles can shave the seat to where you can flat foot it easily. Helpful with either bike. Love my street glide.
I went through three different windscreens before I found one that reduced /stopped the buffeting but it was well worth the money in changing it. I’m 5’8” and the 10” Harley screen is perfect for me.
FYI Jess: give the throttle a quick blip as you're looking for neutral and even a brand new Harley will pop in. Mine was the same way before I adjusted the clutch with the 1k service. Also, I'm in love with the RKS.
Awesome deal Harley gave you!!..as for finding neutral...give the throttle a quick "blip" before you pop it in neutral...works every time on my 2020 Ultra Limited!...stay safe...ride safe!!😎👍🤙👍🤙🇨🇦
I have a 2020 Road King Special, and for me it is the most versatile bike. Add the windshield and soft lowers for colder weather or rain, or remove those for hot weather riding. As far as the buffeting, that is caused by the wind coming up over the tank. I just added the fork wind deflectors, also known as fork fangs. They have completely eliminated the buffeting. If you buy a Street Glide, they will fit that bike as well.
Street Glide Special, chromed out! All day! 😀
My buddy put the slightly taller Klockwerks (or however it’s spelled) windshield with the sight flare upwards. Cured any and all problems.
I had a Road King for several years, and being able to remove the windshield once in while was awesome. It completely changed up the riding experience. Now being on a Road Glide, I miss those “no windshield days” at times. If going with a bike that has a windshield, take the time to find the right size windshield that works best for you. I’ll be interested to hear your thoughts in the end about Road Glide vs Street Glide. Congrats on getting this opportunity from Harley.
I think for you, the Road Glide all the way. Seemed like you absolutely loved it and the infotainment system would help you crunch those miles on those long trips. I like the styling on all 3 models. So pick the one that makes you feel like a boss! 👍🏾
I test rode the cvo model and not sure of any different with the fairing but I had the same issue. Difference size windscreen would make a difference in my opinion. The weight 100% agree. Felt like all the weight was up front and high. Felt like if it were to tip over in slow speeds there was no saving it haha. Awesome video!
Have a 2020 street glide and love it. A taller screen was my first mod. The factory short shield I was just to tall for it to do anything. I highly recommend the street glide. I can’t get enough of riding it
I rode a street glide before I ever got on a road glide. I like them both for different reasons. I personally felt more buffeting from my road glide but that could very well be due to the aftermarket windshield I put on.
For some reason I thought you mentioned you had quit your other job. It’s hard work doing 2 videos a week and work your full time job. You’re doing great
Road Glide!!! I got one and love it.
Probably just sick from exhaustion! Try to get some rest and keep safe! Love the vids and keep it rubber side down
Loving your channel -
A taller windshield helps for sure.. I have had quite a few baggers. Still have one. I have road across the country several times.
Don’t know if it helps on a brand new Harley but on my SG If I miss ‘N’ once I give it a little throttle blip. 9 times out of 10 it’ll go right in ‘N’ … keep up the awesome videos, enjoy those loaners, and ride safe!!!
You go girl ride safe.
I went to get a road glide and when i saw the road king special I was hooked , sat on it and brought her home !!! Its super nimble and just raw naked motorcycle !!!
I had a RK for years then moved to Ultra (Batwing)...I have ridden RG and prefer the Batwing. I keep my vent closed but, I have a 7” windshield that has a little “swoop” at the top. No buffering. Good luck!
If you don’t want to go with a tall windshield you can get a windshield with a recurve at the top. I’ve noticed a huge difference with buffeting on my friend’s Street Glide.
The road glide would be the biggest benefit to me personally.
I just love that damn bike 😭
I found the big fairing on the road glide makes it more top heavy then the street glide. But to be honest I haven't done any seat time with either bike. But I understand why the road glide would be better on the highway
@@hillbillyhicks8102 The only time you ever feel the wieght of the faring on a Road Glide is when your stopped and picking her up off the stand, Soon as you get moving you learn to love that ugly shark nose.
You could put a fairing on the Road King. I love the blacked out look of the Road King Special.
I have a tip for you about finding neutral. On both my softail slim and my RGS, neutral is easier to find after you hit the kill switch. Try it and let me know if it works for you too or if it’s all in my head.
Love the red, but I still think I'd rather have the road glide. Like you though, if Harley is in a giving mood I'd take either!
I still love the Road Glide as well!
Bike suits you, but from your other videos we can tell yòu love the Road Glide, they do handle better, lighter, less wind buff, and a bit more storage on the fairing. Infotainment is awesome. I ride a Street Glide and thinking of going back to the Road Glide. Also a 10 " windsplitter windshield would be a nice upgrade from stock
@her two wheels - there’s a trick to finding neutral on those harleys. Impossible if not moving. You need to get neutral while slightly moving forward!
Yup!! I was going to say the same but you beat me to it 👍
Or just accept defeat and leave the bike in 1st
I love your videos, I have 2017 street glide special. Put on the kloc works windshield amazing difference it works great.
I have no complaints with my 17 Street Glide Special. Just got back to Ohio from a 2500 mile road trip. The SG was very comfortable for the whole trip.
I’m 5’7 with a 18 road glide special best bike I have ever owned amazing for long distant rides
Even with stock exhaust these new bikes sound great. Maybe a little corked, but that rumble is great.
road glide, no question for me. got one and i love it
completely agree. Road all of them, ended liking road glide the most
Yeah. Street glide fits you nicely.
I've been thrilled with my Road Glide Ultra. I know you're fond of the RG, so that would be my choice. Great content, as usual. Ride safe.
Just have fun. No worries
A recurve windshield and an air dam on the back side of the forks would help the buffeting.
💯 road king. I was getting a 2020 goldwing but covid-19 hit and lost my job. But one day I will get it.
I LOVE my 2020 Road King!!
Road King. Our experience watching your vlogs is much more entertaining/enhanced without staring at a fairing.
Jess, I own a Street Glide Special. Great bike and one you should consider. I did change the wind screen and seat. I do own two other Harley’s as well!
Love my road king. Shadetree’s review actually sealed the deal. I also wouldn’t use the nav and radio either so no point to have it or the extra weight. Also two friends of mine have baggers with the nav and it sucks. Have the time the map doesn’t bring it up and we use our phones.
I know you love the Road Glide as I'm a Road Glide owner as well so I'm impartial to it. In reality get whatever you're comfortable with.
I put a 10 inch Klockwerks windshield on my 21 Street Glide Special and it prevents any buffeting. Probably could go shorter and have the same effect. The Saddlemen seat is perfect on it also.
It’s all personal preference. I’ve rode all 3 and the road glide just fits me better. I’ve took all 3 on really curvy back roads and I still love my road glide the best.
Easy Harley neutral: Clutch in, quick rev brrrp while putting up pressure on shift knob. When clutch matches engine speed, gear will pop right out.
Same reason you give the throttle a blip when down shifting.
I just discover you!!! I’m in love!! Subscribed and send hugs from Italy 🇮🇹 💪🏻💪🏻😘
Road Glide! I just got off a 3400 mile trip through Colorado and Utah , best handling of all H-D baggers.
Hey Jess. I've not had alot of time on Harleys and I usually trash talk them but I love that orange bike. One day I may go test drive a few. The only Harley I've ever been on was a 01 Sportster 1200
Had a Road King and upgraded to a 2019 RGS Stage 2 and luv it. EVERYONE rides a street glide, but now the tide is turning and changing to a Road Glide, much better bike, more room and lighter handling win win :)
🎉🤩🤩 road king special🤩🤩🎉
I have a 2017 street glide special. The wind buffeting has been kicking my ass. I’ve added a Klock Werks windshield and a triple tree wind deflector. I think next is adding the wind deflectors on the forks
I just bought a 2021 Road King. I love it!
3weeksago got my 21 RKS , love mine
@@gravydogg1 2 months RGS in snake--yes I love the thing
Street glide 💪💪
Hi Jess. It's better to burn out than rust out. I have lived my life like that my full 81 years. Life isn't easy but so much fun. Keep it up. ❤️ Proudtexson
Road King Special was my choice. You can have it with or without wind shield. I have a Ciro 3D charger for cell phone. That handles navigation needs. In my humble opinion handles the best. Wouldn't miss the dyna feel so much. Be blessed
Hooah
Jess love the video! I would go with the King myself but that's just me! Lol I'm here for the algorithm! Peace
Klock Werks flair is the best it really makes a difference.
Just putting my 2 cents in. I'm partial to the Road glide, but the bottom line is what fits you. Since you've ridden all 3 now, which did you like the best. What we say, really doesn't matter. Love your channel... keep up the good work.
Yes windshield height makes a big difference
Love that Street Glide
Beautiful red bike! I know it’s a smoove ride! Red Bay, Alabama watching
I would do a street glide. Better protection from the elements on it over the road glide, easier to see the gauges with a glance down, and nav is in better position IMO. Also, windshield and lower block on back side of the forks (between the tank and forks) helps a ton on wind issues.
