I agree, the Road Glide is nice. But can I just say, that Street Glide in the background had my attention the entire time. I like what you've done with it. Clean, mean and not overdone. BTW, I ride an Ultra Limited.

Thank you

I know it pained you to speak well of a Roadglide. The air you get with the Roadglide is smooth, and with the right windshield it creates a pocket of very little air flow right at the drrivers head. This is very notacable at slower speeds, 35-50 mph. Abover that you get a good deal of wind, but it's smooth. Love my roadglide.

I went from a street glide to a road glide I would never go back I love my road glide thanks for sharing this video tall

I’ve had two of each and I like the road glide better as far as handling and wind management. The road glide does in fact give you more room. The handlebars on a street glide because of the fairing come back toward you a couple inches then go up, and have limited forward adjustment. The road glide bars go straight up from the clamp and can be adjusted forward significantly forward, depending on bar height and windshield height. So you get about 2” of extra room on top of the phycological room you get from the fairing being further away.

Just got me a 2019 Road Glide after riding sportbikes for 25 years. I'm enjoying it so far!

congrats brother.

SG owner here. Preach brotha, Let'em know tall! STREET GLIDES FOREVER!!

Great video Tall. I rode my buddy Street Glide last week and I couldn’t tell the difference on the highway. It was a nice ride

Thanks for making this unbiased and honest video

I never liked a Road Glide and I owned many different Harley’s including 2 Street Glides. 4 months ago I had a bike accident and totaled my Street Glide. I thought I would never say that, but now I’m buying a Road Glide. I fell in love w them after I start looking for my street glide replacement. But, I still have not ridden one yet.

😆 ok nice joke at the end. I needed that. 2015 Street glide Special. My first Harley after 20 years of sport 🏍. This Harley community has a great bunch of guys. Looking forward to many miles and smiles

Another great video Tall. Man! You looked good sitting on that Roadglide

oh boy here we go - im glad you came to your senses tall

Tall I know you had to take a bc headache powder after making this video thanks for being painfully unbiased another great video loved one

Great video Tall!! I have had a 2013 Road Glide and now have a 2018 CVO Street Glide with a 128 motor. What I'm not a fan of on the newer RG is all the vents that can't be closed unless you add them. I live in Montana and we have LONG winters up here. Not uncommon to ride in 30 deg and colder when the roads are not icy. My CVO with the lowers vents closed and the upper vent open be hind my Knocks windshield is perfect. Also i have no issues with Head shake at 110+mph ether.

I've had both. I'll take the road glide every day of the week. Mostly because of all the things you pointed out in this video. I think it handles much better and a much more enjoyable ride . JMHO. Stuart. 👌

Great video! I know this one hurt, lol - I love my Road Glide As for the sheep... I'm with Tony on this one ... i not hear 20 sick, I heard 26! Keep those videos coming

Tall, that was a great video I just love my 2019 Road Glide CVO, for all the reasons you gave. keep up the great video's, great information.🔥🔥🔥💯💯

Nice review keep up the good work traveling tall

I have owned both and i have to say that i enjoy my road glide best. i have covered thousands of miles on both bikes and the road glide handled better for me. i like some elements about the street glide but the road glide just really sweet ride. i love your bike it looks amazon but both bikes are nice it comes down to a matter of preference honestly. keep gliding no matter what glide your on.

I've been on a Street Glide since 2008 and have loved and defended them against all else ever since. That said, after having rode my cousin's Road Glide 800 miles with the same 12 apes i got on mine, I would have long put my ugly fixed fairing bias aside when they came back out. It was almost as comfortable and smooth a ride as my wife's Can-am which I came away with no backache.

Always enjoy your videos

I’ve owned both the batwing bike and a RoadGlide and prefer the handling & looks of the RG. It’s personal preference tho. Let’s just get out there and ride! Thanks Tall!! 🏍️

Big facts 💪 road glide is my fav. love the content !

I can appreciate your candor in this video rall. that being said, I am a Streetglide owner and I just like the way it Looks over the roadglide. To me, the riding drifferences don't really show up unltill you get way up in speed.

Thank you very much for the information. I just bought a 2022 Harley- Davidson road glide 117 M8. I'm going to pick it up tomorrow September 02.2023 from Dutch Hills Harley-Davidson in Netherlands. I live in Germany. I can't wait to ride it. 😊

Very informative. Thx !!!

Thankyou for mentioning the extra vents in shark nose. Not exited about those since we ride in colder, rainy weather up north here

My brotha just come over to the RG life lol.....great vid keep doing you!!

I had a Street Glide and felt cramped. Iam 6'5 and have a ton more room with the Road Glide.I bought mine from Tony that's in your video. He said." one ride and you will buy it".Been smiling ever since........

Both bikes are fantastic! I've never felt the handlebars of my SG shake during high winds or fast riding on the highway.

Good informative video. Just got my first Harley-a Road King although I've worked on a few but figuring out which model has what can be a daunting task .

From riding motocross, you want more weight in your turns! Love my SG thannks to you Tall! Keep those videos coming brother

I have enjoyed my street glide. I had T-bars installed which gives is great handling. But after a rather lengthy poker run last week, I am really looking at the RGS specials again. The wind deflection seemed better to me. Less buffet in the head. At 6'6" (tall in the torso) every bit helps. I will agree that the Apex theme does look good. Just don't know if it's an additional $3k good. To each there own. Just enjoy what you ride and put down miles every chance you get. Hope to get a chance to ride with out on the west coast some time.

Blessing from the Motor City, nice review Tall. I have a 2020 Road Glide Special. It’s my first Harley and I love it. I would like to test ride a batwing Harley to see if there is a difference that I can feel. Peace n Love.

I have a 2015 road glide, it was my first Harley. I thought you was Street Glide for life.

I had a ‘13 Road Glide that I loved. Put 10k miles on it the first year. I’ll be getting a new one this year. 🤘🏼

Great video brother! I

😂 Nice Dad Joke. It was more funny thinking about you getting a RG and loving it more than your SG. I laughed cause I’m a trader and transitioned from SG to RG x 3 more RG’s. Love them. I want HD to come out with a Plugin/Gas Hybrid Glide 😮. Anyway, see you at Run to the Hills 3.

Great information!!

I put on a tall klock werks windshield on mine, luv it!

Beautiful bike I love it the paint the bike I need it!!! Perfect set up Im looking to get one hopefully I can find one just like that one if I’m lucky

I could almost feel your pain! Lol Both are great bikes in there own way. We've owned both batwing and shark nose fairings and if I rode solo I would own a batwing fairing but since we ride 2up almost 100% of the time the shark nose does a better job for us. You better go show your Street Glide some love after that video

I own a 2020 Police Electra Glide, 2022 Road Glide Limited. These same touring families except for differing types of the fairing. I have no complaints about HD touring bikes, except for one; Road Glide does not block wind to my hands and my both hands got really cold during the low 60s morning temperature. Both bikes came with heated hand grips as standard equipment, I could ride the Electra Glide with tactical gloves for all 4 seasons BUT I had to purchase winter gloves for my Road Glide Limited. Each bike has unique characteristics and that is the only thing I've noticed compared to both bikes. I love both bikes. Ride safe 🤟🏼

Its what i chose, i was not disappointed 😌 road glide nation!

I put a tall klock werks fairing on mine. Does a great job blocking the wind. I highly recommend...

Excellent commentary 👌 👏

Riding a Road Glide long distance (several hundred miles a day) is less fatiguing. It's not so much that you feel the wind pushing the fairing on the Batwing bikes as much as you notice not fighting it on a Road Glide if you have ridden both long distance. You make more subconscious micro adjustments riding the Street Glide. I noticed not having to do that once I went on my first long ride on my Road Glide. Previous bike was an Ultra Classic. On short runs it's less noticeable IMHO.

Yes do one for the Street Glide looking forward already

I was riding a road glide back when no one was riding road glides, HD even quit making them now everyone has one, Mines a 2008 black with red stripes 96 engine with cobra pipes and its the best of many harleys I've owned.

Hey Tall, completely off the RG subject here. I've been checking your videos and appreciate your reviews and information. I ride a 19 SG CVO. I'm about to do a big bore kit and was wondering about the issue of heat. I live in the DFW metroplex and it gets seriously hot here during the summer season, as you already know. I'm up in the air about what direction to go in, I do like to tear it up light to light, but I also seriously tour on this bike. I'm open to different options. I know I'm going to do the cam chest update as a minimum to get the oil pump failure probability monkey off my back. I'd really like to get your opinion on this subject. Thank man, keep up the great work! DC

Great Job Tall

Yeah, do that video on the 👍of the Street Glide. Like the looks of the Road Glide and after being on a couple of Street Glide for 8+ years, the RG is different, I like it; however, there is no way I would ever give up a black and chrome Street Glide for one. My eBike is even black and chrome.🚴‍♂

Yes please do a video on street glide!!

I'll stick with my Road King.

Are you able to ride with a half helmet on the highway?

i just started riding 15 months ago, my first bike was a Softail street bob, got bars, seats, full exhaust , air cleaner and tune, traded in 2wks ago for a 22' Road Glide Standard New, I road both RG/SG but went with the RG 2022 standard, i absolutely love it, first week got 1000 miles, now I'm at 1800 2nd week. Think i got a good deal for 20k with 3miles. The Touring Harleys, makes me want to ride further, its like a Caddy it just soaks up all the bumps and its super stable even on 35-40mph wind gust..Rides totally different from my softail...I got so many mods i want to do, first up with Factory 47 Ape hangers...

I can't believe what I'm hearing lol 😂 Road Glide compliments 😅 Thanks bro!! Idk how much they paid you but take the bag and 🏃‍♂️ lol 😆

I bought that bike 2 months ago. Trade my street glide for the road glide. And love it

WELL SAID GOOD SIR.

Glide on!👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

Ole no Tall's done fell and bumped his head ! Get well soon Tall ! 😂 Lol

I do like it but, It would be in addition to my Street Glide. Not replacing it, but as of right now I'm not looking for another bike.

I really don’t understand why in the Harley world that it is not ok to say you like another style of bike. I love your opinion

Tall! Good points! 2147 Crew…

Hey Tall it’s ok to admit it you want one 😂

Yes i want to see it

I use to get the handle bar shake bad passing 18 wheelers on my Electraglide and my victory magnum, but only passing big vehicles like that. Never had that problem on any of my roadglides.

Hey Tall you look good on the Apex Road Glide. Just saying maybe in the future for you. If you’re not Gliding your not riding. Steve from Boston. 😎

When I got my Road Glide and made a video on it, I stated that the fairing on the RG is further out from the rider, creating a lot more noise and that was the reason I thought the SG (I have a 2015 SG as well) was a better touring bike....and LITERALLY dozens of people lit me up for saying it, saying i was wrong, etc... They ALL state how the handlebars are affected by wind on the SG when touring....which I as well have NEVER experienced....its all the commenters stated, that the shake of the bars when passing trucks etc...... I feel like the RG allows for more AGGRESSIVE riding, as you can tell that the weight of the fairing and headlight, and stereo, are all off the bars so you get better feedback when countersteering etc.......but the SG has a much better riding bubble due to the larger footprint out front with the bigger fairing makes a better touring bike. It has a shorter reach to all the fairing controls, it has way less noise because the windscreen is at least a foot closer to the rider, it extends that rider bubble to the passenger as well. I LOVE my RG becasue I like an aggressive ride, I wear a full face helmet so the noise doesnt bother me....but when I am riding a relaxed ride with my wife, the SG is by far and away the better choice for us.

Light is LIFE on a motorcycle

Both bikes are the best and the same in my opinion ..is just matter of taste . I personally prefer the batwing , love the looks with my 14'' factory 47 apes ..and more symmetry having the gadgets closer to me. Like a race car!!!....both bikes are fantastic!!

WOW, how many complimentary oil changes did you get for that?!! Clever riddle 😋

I want to see why to buy a street glide. Love the street glide and my batwing fairing

You look suited on the road glide Looks great in apex

Get you one

Tall must have lost a bet or was being held hostage, either way I liked the kind words about the road glide. Lol.

I'm a prior Ultra Classic owner and now own both a Road Glide Limited and Road King. All three are very nice bikes, it's all about personal preferences. I have become a huge RG fan and will never part ways with my RK.

I've had both and the are about the same, but I do like the RG a tad bit better because of the no weight on the steering.

The thing I’ve noticed is when you’re riding hard through tight corners. It seems like the SG is harder to turn over from one side to the other.

Tall when you going to do a review of a Honda Gold Wing vs RG, SG, Ultra Limited?

The fairing is pushed forward on thrr Ed broad glide, which is why you have a longer reach too get to the infotainment system.

Rgs ride very nice. Its all that i will buy in the future, considering a cvo limited? 🤔

Man.... you can't be feeling well. I can't believe the words that came out of your mouth 🤣🤣. But I appreciate it though I love my FLTRK.

Traveling Tall, while RG & SG have the same frame, seat location, floorboard location etc., the Road Glide does afford taller riders with ape hangers to push them forward and allow a little more room in a sense. It obviously doesn't change the dimensions of the bike but if you have really long arms one might argue that the RG has more "room". As you know, you're limited with handlebar locations with a batwing.

Another nice review. I have a fork-mounted fairing bike, but I do like the fixed fairings like on the Road Glide. Any thoughts on the Indian Challenger or their new Pursuit? I've test road them both, but not the newer 114 Road Glide so I don't have an apples to apples comparison. I have a friend who has a Challenger, who is considering moving to a Road Glide...not because of performance, but because of the RUMBLE :)

I too rode the pursuit and liked it but I didn’t want to wait 3-4 months and if I travel, Harley dealers are everywhere.

I bought mine from myers-duren hd tulsa, ok. I highly recommend them...

I absolutely love my 2020 Road Glide. I set out to get a Street Glide but, after testing both, bought the Road Glide. You talk about there being more air flow. Not really. The fairing design, paired with the proper height after market windshield, makes for a great “rider pocket” and great protection from the wind. Where the Road Glide shines is when a truck or large vehicle goes by, or there’s a headwind. I don’t feel it in the bars at all thanks to the frame mounted fairing.

Next do a video on why to get a Street Gilde, because I love my Street Glide

To your last point, it is a beautiful bike… from the gas tank back. The fairing could use some work though!

I own a 2021 Road Glide Limited,have owned 5 batwing fairing bikes and have enjoyed those bikes but I will not go back to a batwing. Love my RG

RG VS SG it always comes down to which bike makes you smile when you see it as far as performance the RG seems lighter but in reality it's heavier not a lot heavier but it is heavier as far as turning the bike at speed it helps greatly if you reverse steer the bike...my opinion the RG is a better bike for racing the SG is better for touring my opinion can't go wrong with either cause the difference between the two bikes are very small for me it's mostly the look of the bikes that's the biggest difference between them...keep Gliding p.s. WERE ALL HARLEY DAVIDSON RIDERS...LET'S RIDE FAMILY

Love my road glide ltd. Wish I had the chance to buy the apex paint set I really like it . That’s a beauty 🔥. Tall your street glide is done perfectly !! I love your bike too & I know it runs amazing beacuse I watched your zippers videos ! It would be awesome to have zippers do my road glide but I also have two kids in collage. Maybe someday soon . God bless 🇺🇸

Bagger racing supports the truth that fixed fairings dominates track racing. The Challenger & Road Glide are always sweeping the podium.

There is an issue with the vent closures in the fairing. I had a side vent and the top one repaired under warranty on my 16 RG Special and now they've done away with side ones. My top vent on my 2020 RG Special doesn't work anymore, but that's fine for now.
