I bought my first Harley from Seminole! Even after I moved back home to Arizona and traded my Sportster for a Street Glide, they call me once in a while to see how everything is going and offer me really good deals on a rental if I'm ever in town. Can confirm, Seminole is one of the best dealerships I have ever done business with. Great video, Block!
Block, this is an excellent new "test ride" format. I like getting three experienced rider's opinions on multiple bikes at the same time. This was a great idea & hopefully, the path forward with test ride videos. It was nice seeing the Sport Glide stripped down. I agree, similar in looks to the Low Rider, except no analog tach. 2020's tomorrow !! I believe Matt & John both plan to livestream.
Jeremy Belko How is the lean angle on the Sport Glide? My bike is basically just like the Breakout (250 rear 21” front) I love it but I’ve been catching myself eyeing the SG for longer trips.
Ross Malagarie I have a Yamaha Stryker. I’ve just had the itch for another bike lately and it’s gonna be breakout or sport glide. As mine is pretty much just like the breakout cvo prostreet already I’m interested in other’s feedback on comparing the ride between the two.. my local dealer doesn’t have one I could test ride
I ride a Sport Glide and it's unbelievable. 900 miles on an over night trip, completely stock and she was a joy to ride. I had a Victory Jackpot before the Sport Glide. It had a 250 mm rear tire and a 21" skinny tire on the front. It looked great and went in a straight line no problem. Making it turn and doing low speed maneuvers were very difficult. It was tiring to ride. I'm sure the Breakout would be the same.
Hey block, I test rode that sport glide Father’s Day weekend and me being 5’4 I can say I loved it. Only thing is I wasn’t able to flat foot it even with boots, but love the ride.
I like the Deluxe the best. I think it looks the best, but I hate cleaning chrome so I wanted one blacked out. Ended up getting a Heritage with the 114. It has the windshield, bags, and passenger pillion already too. Plus I got one with 1500 miles and it had an exhaust already and I got it for less money than I could have got the Deluxe.
Sport Guide is the best of two worlds one if you remove the fairing and bags you have a nice around town bike for bar hopping and second when the fairing and bags on the bike you have a great bike to ride to work plus the rims are sick looking very nice !!
If I was in the market for a softail I would get a Breakout and throw quick release bags and a shield on it for long trips. The Breakout looks and sounds FINE! But since I already have a 12' Yamaha Raider S my second bike will be a used Big Dog K9.
Block, for what you need from your next bike, the Sport Glide would be your best option. Unless you’re ready to commit to a full time bagger the Sport Glide gives you the best of both worlds. However, I will say that once you start riding with bags you find them so convenient that you wonder why you didn’t have them before. I ride a 14 SGS and a 15 Sportster 72 so I can speak from both sides of tracks. My bikes are my only form of transportation so depending on what I need to do will decide which bike I ride. I hope this helps you.
I like your comments on the 107... people don’t realize that when speaking cc that its still like 1750! My 107 fatbob was so capable and torquey! Great bike
I dig the idea of the Sport Glide but that pipe would have to go! Huge potential in the platform though. I love what Matt and the fellas at Laidlaw's are doing with their Coast Glide series
Great content and video as always block. I’ve got the 2018 Fat Boy 114, that I’ve taken to stage 1. It took me about 2 test rides to actually get the feel for how to corner with and it actually is not as bad. Granted the first time on it I was like this thing she ain’t like no turn bro. But that actually became much easier the next time out. I’ve had some pretty gusty side on wind during some of my rides but the heavy ness of the bike does not let the wind blow you sideways through pushing on the solid wheels. Love my fatty.
Every time I see that show room I'm just like damn I live in the wrong country! :D The amount of bike people over yonder is awesome. Really cool review style as well, nearly an interview review :) Awesome :)
Top vid BLOCKHEAD. I went for the Sport glide from a 48. Have you seen the coastglide vid? I'm planning to ' club style ' mine up a wee bit, larger bat wing, apes or T's etc. Keep on keeping on big man.
I love the vids man! Can you please tell me where you place your mic to pic up the com audio, or how you get the other peoples com audio on the vid? I can’t get good sound.
Mr blockhead which is your all time favorite Harley Davidson , and also latest 2021 softail models . Softail slim 2021 vs breakout 2021 vs sport glide 2021 which is your favorite in these 3
So I've got a random observation, but every time I hear that bell I expect Metallica's "For whom the bell tolls" to start playing🤣 The sport glide looks nice with it's full dress up.
Agreed, needs 17" wheels to fit proper sport touring tires. For 18 large you can toss in the second front brake in my opinion. Almost made it my next ST, maybe next year..
Blockhead likes the breakout you can tell. If that's the bike u like just get it. It's a sharp bike, similar to fxdr just more comfortable at expense of some handling. I know that breakout would be comfortable on highway though it basically just sits up by itself with that wide rear tire.
With the dealer show tomorrow, I'd be hard pressed to buy a new bike today. Maybe HD has something cool up it's sleeve, maybe they just have some new paint and accessories. But who knows? I still love the Low Rider the best; it seems to be the last one to have that classic look.
Hey Blockhead, great video! As well as your coverage of the entire Softail line for 2019. I have my eye on the Softail Deluxe, as well as the Softail Standard, new for 2020. I do have a question. When did H-D eliminate the heel toe shifter on bikes with floor boards? I must be behind the times. I’ve ridden big twins, with the heel toe shifter and absolutely loved it! Just noticed that it was missing. Thanks! Love the content and all the information! Ride safe!
hey ik you primarily do Harley Davidsons but have you ever given thought to looking at Victory models at all.i would love to see what you think of them since they are similar to Harley but differ in many ways
Great content there Blockhead. Would really like to see Block take the Sport Glide out for a Vigorous ride. This bike is severely under appreciated and Harley will likely discontinue if sales don't pick up, or so I've heard.
I've talked to a couple of SG owners, the bike is held back big time by its awful lean angle. It is just like the Suzuki M109R. Great suspension hampered by pegs that sit way too low. And the guys I know who got SGs bought them specifically because they wanted a Harley to go kill canyons with.
5:13 reminds me of how i struggle with my girl. day by day im just drifting away from supersports into supernakeds and cruisers man. my r1 it's a nightmare with a passenger
Look into a sport tourer. Something like a Multistrada or S1000XR are more comfortable for a passenger than many cruisers and are just as fast as any superbike.
I'm now imagining Blockhead goes on a trip with a Street Glide, or the such and becomes a bagger-man, now that he's taking a liking to that cruising feel! :D
Can't beat em for comfort. I have a sportster and a road king. Rode the sportster to work for about 8 months and got thr road king to go on longer rides with the girl. I now ride the road king to work. Its 25 miles one way.
daaaang, wish you would have rode the deluxe, it is the bike I REALLY want. But I just don't know if I would be able to handle it when it comes to weight and such, I am only 140 lbs wet so. But hey great video, good to see the Blockhead crew kickin it out at Seminole. RS-SV guys!
@@norm6645 I am glad I commented then, because I really had no clue. Like I said the Deluxe is my dream bike and I just wanted to know like who all can ride it. So hey, that's awesome thank you for replying!
I would highly suggest that you test ride a few bikes before deciding. Being that you’re so tall you will find that some models will make you feel cramped up. Harley does offer Tallboy seats for most of their bikes which helps taller riders stretch out. I’m 6’1” and I have a Tallboy seat on my Street Glide and I had one on my Fatboy before I sold it. You’ll also probably have to change out your handlebars to fit the bike better to you. I put 12” apes on Street Glide and I’m planning on putting some on my Sportster 72. Makes for a much more comfortable ride.
Had an 05 sportster custom with a 21 inch front tire which had a large turn radius. I barely made turns and stayed on the road. Unlike the road king of the same year I was able to turn with room to spare.
The sportster I had came with a spiked rim in front and a solid rim in back. Rode ok unless the wind was strong. Then I'd just lean into the wind and roll the throttle until the wind wasnt a factor.
Blockhead, when u guys head back, u should make Greg ride the FXDR and u should ride his bike lol 😂 just to see his reaction and seeing u on an upright bike
my guess; I know you like the breakout and you will probably end up getting that one BUT I think the sportglide looks not as good but may be exactly what you are looking for ?? i would love an answer on this please :) as always LOVED the video this kind of content is awesome!!

I have an ‘18 breakout 107 twisted cherry with custom pin stripes and by far it’s the best bike I’ve owed so far.
Block is gonna get a breakout! I love mine. And the twisted cherry looks so good!!!
I can definitely attest to the touring ability of the sport glide. 6 days, 3600 miles.
Jeremy Belko How is the lean angle on the Sport Glide? My bike is basically just like the Breakout (250 rear 21” front) I love it but I’ve been catching myself eyeing the SG for longer trips.
JT Southernfried great. The bike, even when loaded up with a 30# sissy bar bag on passenger seat, it wants to be flicked.
Jeremy Belko awesome 🤙🏼thank you
@@JTSouthernfried they both have the same frame, couldn't you just throw quick release bags and shield on your Breakout for long trips?

Enjoyed the way you featured the crew and 3 bikes at once, AWSOME BLOCK!
Love seeing the blockhead crew with you checking out bikes, always great
My son has the cvo breakout.
I'm going to borrow it when hes not looking.
Just a simple thanks to you Blockhead, and your friends too. I am super subscribed already. Just a big fan.
Best format I've ever watched!
Can’t sleep and then this pops up. Really not sleeping for while longer now. Good vid

Love these! Your text rides were very useful in deciding what bike I got first. Thanks! 👍🏽
Dude this was great content. I’m sure ppl considering these specific models are super appreciative. 👌
Hahahaa my little son of 6 was laughing his ass off at Eric's vestbuttons popping XD
So what happened to Orlando Harley and AARon and all that? You used to show them all the time.
Either he got money/kickbacks to endorse a new dealership or one of the guys hit on Blockhead and made it too weird.
Hey block, I test rode that sport glide Father’s Day weekend and me being 5’4 I can say I loved it. Only thing is I wasn’t able to flat foot it even with boots, but love the ride.

Now I wanna go n get myself a sport glide. That kinetic green looks amazing
Eric should take out a Heritage Classic 114, think he'll dig that coming from a Road King and his love for the new Deluxe
Love love that Deluxe.
If I was in the market for a softail I would get a Breakout and throw quick release bags and a shield on it for long trips. The Breakout looks and sounds FINE! But since I already have a 12' Yamaha Raider S my second bike will be a used Big Dog K9.
so happy to see blockhead doing videos on bikes i was curious about!

Love these videos very informative along with so entertainment. Keep on that grind brotha
Gotta love rake and trail.
I love my 2019 Breakout114 .Even more after I staged it and dressed it up a bit. Thing is quick.
When it’s one in the morning but you gotta support the blockhead
Excellent test ride video!!
Breakouts are beautiful, I currently have a 48, maybe a breakout next if I can afford

yep! Great content Block!
Sport glide is on my wish list
Getting ready to trade my 883 in for a softail. Leaning really hard towards the deluxe, would love some input.
Get the deluxe! Its awesome
I went from a 2014 883 to a 2009 Fatboy. Maybe try that or the Deluxe or the Slim...
hey ik you primarily do Harley Davidsons but have you ever given thought to looking at Victory models at all.i would love to see what you think of them since they are similar to Harley but differ in many ways
Can't wait to see you review that Streetfighter bike when it comes out. That will be a real change for Harley. That and the adventure bike.
Great content there Blockhead.

What happened to Orlando Harley ?
Is it the front tire size, back tire size, or rake that majes the breakout more difficult to handle?
Really sorry to see the Deluxe go. Such a beautiful smooth God handeling bike...oh well maybe tell bring it back in a few yrs. Then I'll buy a Harley.
Looking to get the Sport Glide after I put a couple thousand miles on my Iron.
My favorite HD is the Deluxe. Blockehead you’ve never done a review.
Second Fatboy
Third Sport Glide.
Hate the Breakout.

Great, now all I wanna do is go ride my sportster (and possibly up to the harley dealership and check out some new baggers). Thanks a lot, Block 😂😂
Gonna go out on a limb here but I think Eric sorta likes the deluxe.
How’s it goin block? I recommend you test ride a ‘19 street bob FXBB. Runs on the 107 as well.
Do you heave have a video on Harley Davidson stage 2 kit for 107?
so keen to cholo out a deluxe but all black😍😍

I like the FXDR,but I can’t ride my wife. That little baby back seat isn’t working. So I got the Breakout 114.
What is the distance capability on the comm's you guys are using? Just curious.
Video drops the day before HD shows 2020 models. BLOCKHEAD you doing a follow up with the 2020s?
I gatta ask. How do you feel about the LowRider S comming back in 2020? @Blockhead
I am 6’6” and am looking into buying my first bike. I LOVE the Softail Breakout but it’s expensive for a first bike. Any recommendations??

What fairing is on your fxdr?
what happened to A Aron and Orlando Harley?
Loving the color and the look on the 1st one u rode,the Breakout I belive
The 2nd one too damn I love that green
Yeah they all look pretty good :D
God dammit man, every time I hear that bell I am automatically in the mood for some AC/DC.
Hey block what camera/mic set up you running? Sena? If so what model?
Fat Boy will be my next bike. A hug from Portugal 😉✌️
I'm a spoiled boy LOVE my street glide special. But that Deluxe tho.
what helmet is the flag one?
The format. Please. A nice new take on what's a stale segment.
First bike I ever rode was an 01 phat boy lol i wish i could afford a new one. That 114 tho 👌
Enjoyed
Rake alone will make it harder to handle at slow speeds
Block have you ever driven a Deluxe? Your not a chrome guy but I feel like you don’t like it without riding it???
Buying a breakout today
Did you see the FXDR dropped almost 3k?!?! I feel really dumb for wasting my money they should reimburse if you bought it a couple months ago.
Actually that’s the next bike I want to get👍
Some one buy my Sportster Roadster 1200!!! I need that Deluxe!!! Hahaha
My early prediction is that Block will get the Sport Glide!
“Japan 4!!”
Good thing you said the bike he's ridings rear looks good
Was he riding a doushe cotti.
Had an 05 sportster custom with a 21 inch front tire which had a large turn radius. I barely made turns and stayed on the road. Unlike the road king of the same year I was able to turn with room to spare.
The sportster I had came with a spiked rim in front and a solid rim in back. Rode ok unless the wind was strong. Then I'd just lean into the wind and roll the throttle until the wind wasnt a factor.
Halogens are only used as headlights. Incandescent bulbs are standard bulbs for markers
If you want a really awsome ride go ride hwy151 devils drop.
Now I wanna see an episode where u do the ''Chinese fire drill''
Blockhead, when u guys head back, u should make Greg ride the FXDR and u should ride his bike lol 😂 just to see his reaction and seeing u on an upright bike
The Low Rider S is a bolt upright riding position, moreso than even a Road King, so Block has plenty of experience with that.
I know you censored Eric, but I’m almost certain I know what he said. Haha
What did he say?
my guess; I know you like the breakout and you will probably end up getting that one BUT I think the sportglide looks not as good but may be exactly what you are looking for ?? i would love an answer on this please :) as always LOVED the video this kind of content is awesome!!
"Extra medium" … Hahahaha

The Sport Glide has had my attention for quite some time. That's the first I've seen it "naked" and it looks phenomenal. Just wondering why ya'll took it out without the fairing? I've got to believe that completely changes the ride experience
if theyd just go back to putting a fuel tank on those breakouts.
