Just bought my 2020 Street Glide Special last week and couldn't be happier. It's my third HD and it's perfect for cruising by myself or going on long rides throughout the country side with my wife. The adjustable rear shock works superb when increasing tension for passengers and you don't have to worry about bottoming out. Ride safe!
Great review ! Nice to see a dealer take the time and effort to explain in detail the features and benefits of each bike.
Man the fit and finish on the Specials is beautiful and fits my taste. I still went with an Chieftain though after test riding the hell outta both. The suspension, weight distribution, and stock features on the Indian did it for me. My point is ride/buy what works for you. Each offers different features, finish, and feel. My wife rides an Iron 883 and is in love. I’ve got love for Harley and Indian! Ride safe
I've learned more about HD from you, than anywhere else. These videos are the absolute best on so many levels. Thank you. I am not a Harley owner, but you give me all I need to be an informed shopper/buyer when the time comes. Until then, I just enjoy the vids.
That CVO is literally perfect.
Thank you for breaking it all down. Much better than the dealership that I go.
Best Harley vlog. Hands down. Best Harley dealership. Hands down.

I love my 2019 Electra Glide Standard, if Harley-Davidson didn’t come out with this model, I wouldn’t have been able to afford my dream of owning a bagger. Plus now I can customize it to my taste. Mahaloz 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
I own 19 electra glide standard and I absolutely love it
Now that’s what I want to see, beautiful footage of the streetglide profile from an out side view as apposed to the behind the dash boring 30 minute ride. Thank you!!! The bike is beautiful and you presented it perfectly. Great job!
Thank you Mr. Laidlaw, for this comparison! Been looking into getting one of these, but really wanted the breakdown on the three. Didn't mind the length of the video, gave me all the info I needed to make an informed decision. Again, thank you, and keep up the great work!
he has 2000 words in mono tone, and has not said nothing yet

Best Harley-Davidson dealer in California I drove 2 hrs to get there and customer service is just awesome thanks David Lund and also Matt and nick
Don’t forget to test ride the new Indian Challenger. Which out performs all 3 of those bikes. Hands down.
Oh, the Polaris Challenger. Does it come with a Hemi?
If people would just look at what this video is saying about how you can make your Harley all these different things by just buying all these extra parts and having them installed. The Indian Challenger already has all these parts installed for a lower price. By the time you buy a new Harley and then I add all this other stuff on there you're in the 40K or 50K.you can get this plus performance with the Challenger. that's actually better than a Harley.
Conversational content, no one is better at it. Keep it up, Matt!
Not too long. I love what you did here. If i lived there I'd buy a bike form you, but I'm in Louisiana. I'm definitely thinking about trading my 16 standard in for a 21 special after watching this
I just bought a Standard. My Cross Bones (still have it too) is all blacked out. I didn't want the all black again. I wanted the upgraded radio and ABS though, that was a must for me. The 107 was a huge upgrade from the 96 I've been riding for the past 9 years. You can't go wrong with any of these bikes and I appreciate your time in creating these videos.
Matt, could you do a video on what you look at when you take bikes in on trade, and talk about what adds value and what kills value. (Besides the the obvious miles and condition) Like what accessories are good to add and what deduct from value. Thanks
That’s a good idea. I’ll try to do that. Thanks for the suggestion.
Can't go wrong with any of them. Depends on what features you want. You made some good points about resale value. Have a 2017 SGS with Stage 2 and love that 107 M8 engine!
good review matt...there's also an element not mentioned why people buy harley's...it has nothing to do with cost, options, style, etc. and they will spend whatever to ride a harley...another great review...much thanks.
thank for explaining about RDRS given the weight and power of this bike and amenities RDRS offers
Matt I am from New Zealand and you do the best coverage of all the modals, I think your comments about the haters are right on the nose. I currently own a 2013 Fatboy lo and would like a CVO Street Glide, your videos are great help and its a pity other dealers don't do what you do cause they all go to the new release shows of the new modals etc. I do travel a lot to your great country and will drop in and say "G'day Mate", and maybe purchase a second hand bike from you, which I could ship down under. Any way all the best great videos.
Huge fan Matt! Because of you, I am planning to ride my '19 FLHSE to CA this year. As a kid my Pops and I would visit Glendale Harley almost weekly for an 'only if' kind of visit. Watching a video of yours where you started out in Glendale Harley, really hit home with me...thank you! I left LA in '83 for the Military and never really looked back. Well, 20 years of active duty service and I wound up making TX my home with no plans to ever go back to Cali. My second stop is going to be Laidlaw Harley for some gear and pictures! Aaron
Matt you are just the BEST! The quality of your videos are outstanding. Thank you for the good work, ride save brother😎
thanks for the video matt I went with the standard street glide but before I pick it up doing a stage 2 kit upgraded radio & speakers and Rinehart 4.5 slip on mufflers
One thing I will say is investing in a set of legend shocks make a true night and day experience it literally feels like a cloud feeling down the road even with the stock seat. If I bought a new bike I’d do the suspension before I do exhaust cause it was truely that big of a difference
I like these comparison videos.
I have the 2019 Street Glide Special! Absolutely love it a phenomenal bike!
Supa Troopa agree, same!
people don't want a batwing fairing because they like it. They like all the stuff it contains, like stereo and NAV and what not. It's why I rented a Chieftain for a trip back in September and renting a streetglide for a trip coming up next month. So making it cheaper but without any of the features and benefits of a streetglide isn't going to produce sales. If I wanted none of that stuff, I'd buy a road king
Just bought the special. Got the grey denim. I absolutely love the bike. Thought about the road glide, but in all honesty, I'm glade I went with the street glide.
Thanks for doing this vid. Helped narrow down my decision.
always happy with your new videos - although i know quite a lot of flhx, i am always happy to see what you say. very appreciated. i value you try to be honest, that is quite rare. good job matt and your team. do not stop! best wishes, peter
Thanks for the comment. I’m glad I can help out. Thanks for watching.
Matt your videos are the standard! I always show them to others when they have questions. Great review.
I never regret spending the money for what I want from factory. It is cheaper than adding later.
Hope to road trip to see you all.
But don't you think you would pay premium for those accessories, also sometimes aftermarket are way better.
@@squirtmph
I was referring to items like ABS brakes. Items referred to in video.
When I put LED lights on my HD RKS. That was Ciro3D. In my opinion the best for the price.
Something are better after market.
@@razzrasmussen5773 I must have miss lead, I still think you pay premium for the most part, accessories wise.
I have 2017 street glide special 107 stage one ,done 32000 miles on it,love it love it.like you love the blacked out look.
I have the 2017 RGS and I can definitely say that it’s very expensive blacking it out! Should have traded in for the blacked out version. I have so much invested in making it mine I will be riding it for a while. But then again I do still love MY bike so that’s what really matters I guess.
The new wheels are beautiful !
I’m typically not into touring bikes ; but damn the SGS is quite nice . Sat on a washed white pearl model at local dealership today :)
Dang it was purdy
Your the man Matt I always enjoy watching all your video clips you explain everything to it's fullest detail with every bike you talk about I'm from New Zealand if I ever come over to the states i will definitely come and meet you👍👍
Thank you. Yes, stop by if you’re ever in California.
Always great videos Matt.
I think the CVO should come with a stage 3 from the factory for that price.
I guess a CVO is what is I need. After looking at this video. Now to try a convince the wife.
Good luck. 👍🏻
...and Godspeed
After what I've been through this year with the wife, the dogs, and getting this house, I WILL be getting my Harley-Davidson. I've already made her aware. Now is the difficult part. Choosing which one. SG Standard Midnight Blue, RGS Billiard Blue or Zephyr Blue, or FXLRS/FXBB.
save your money, you can drive a honda civic at $23,999
@Countrywild56 thats good to know. I really love the midnight blue on the Standard. And Matt Laidlaw gets them with the nav/upgraded sound system. I just wanna add Factory 47 bars and LED signals, and RDRS.
Harley Davidsons really are not "overpriced". They're actually extremely competitively priced in my opinion. After doing so much research over the past year on what back to bike, I came to the conclusion that the 2020 Low Rider S is the most fairly priced cruiser on the market. Everything you get with it is just so much more worth it...
I’m still loving my 18 gunship Cvo. I should say in love. ;).
OVERBOARD DM, no wonder is an absolute dream machine. i think one of the most beautiful color ever. enjoy and ride save👍🏻
Very good review Matt. Like the detail, comparisons and the question review was very helpful. Thank you.
Great review of these four models Matt. You are absolutely correct about trade in value of accessories added on after purchase. 10% is spot on.
Very good video, guys !! Thx a lot
I bought a Standard and love it. bought an aftermarket media center put a two up seat and aftermarket stage 2 kit for the price of the base street glide.
Love watching your videos. Very detailed. Im still stuck on what i want to get. I have a 750cc and need something much larger to travel long distances. Im stuck between a road king, street glide and road glide. Not sure how comfortable I'll feel with a fairing...
Don't count out the Softails.
A softail with a Saddlemen seat, and bags would be a great ride. Add a windshield into the mix and you got yourself a bike that can convert from cruiser to touring bike in a few swaps.
@@FranBunnyFFXII I have considered the Deluxe or Heritage. I like those as well
Best video yet. I'm a crome guy. Seems strange a blacked out bike is more. Guess I'm old school. Thought harleys were about crome. Thanks for the comparison. Electra glide actually looks great to me. Wish it came in other colors.
Perfect timing, I’ve just sent a link to this video
This week my mate has been trying to choose which Street Glide to buy & tomorrow morning we are going to Fraser HD in Sydney to look & ride them
Your video helped him make the decision to buy a CVO which he just picked up
Love my ‘15 Street Glide Special...built up just how I want it! The 103, IMHO, is a good motor and I’m probably going to put a cam upgrade into it...too much money into it now to just trade it in! Great info in this video! 👍
I’m partial to Road Glides, but as is where is.....perhaps one of each!
Damn that Street Glide Special is nice.
What color or does it matter.
Very nice bikes to tour on if I was to spend aa few months cruising around. Love a single seat with a backrest top box setup.
Thanks for the run down Matt. One thing I like about the Street and EG standard is the actually the regular bags. I'm going with one of the touring standards next bike and want to run a two into one pipe which I think would look silly with the stretched bags given the cutouts for dual mufflers. Throw on a choppy cam with the two into one and my guess is the 107 will produce similar power to a 114. I'd go all in with one of the ST models but they're just outta my budget.
👍 Proud owner of a 2019 FLHXS 😀
You wanna buy a watch?
Great video Matt!
I know I'm in the minority, but for me I would personally buy the Electra-Glide standard (I prefer the smaller front wheel anyways) and upgrade to my personal preferences rather than buy a more expensive bike and then spend even more money to customize the bike to my tastes.
Traded my 2014 Street Glide Special in on a 2019 Street Glide. I cant do a blacked out bike. I dig the chrome that is associated with a Harley. Guess I'm just Old School. I really love the Milwaukee 8 engine very smooth.
You should check out the 2020 Harley-Davidson *_FurrowGlide_*

Idiot.
Thanks for another informative comparison video 👍🏻
I had forgotten all about the Pan America until Andrew mentioned saving up for one. I love my '19 Street Glide Special but that bike has me very curious.
I just can’t figure out why Harley doesn’t make a little “glove box” on the left side of the infotainment screen?It is just wasted space.
I'm not sure whats directly behind there. I'll have to find out and see why they don't use it for more storage.
@@MattLaidlaw WIM, CB, Radio Accessories go on that side. I'm guessing thats why they don't make it a commonly accessible spot.
@@oceanstatehd and thats why I'm leaning more towards the RGS.
Hey Matt, another great video as always, here are a couple of interesting facts. The SGS is Harley’s best selling bike to four different groups as of 2018; young riders as you mentioned, women, blacks and Latinos; all important markets for future growth. Needless to say, this is a very important bike in Harley’s lineup, will be interesting to see if there is a shift to the RG/RGS nationally like you’re seeing at your dealership.
Another interesting fact is that while sales are down, as you have pointed out in other videos, industry wide, not just Harley: Harley has seen a big increase in the used Harley market, which they hope will turn into future new sales.
All this does is prove that the Mo Co is far more informed than the haters think or our willing to admit and the changes they make are based on the vast majority and not the few that will complain no matter what changes they make.
Thanks, and keep including Andrew and Nick.
Great points. Thank you for the comment.
Great video comparison. The CVO is expensive but really nice. Definitely very premium.
It’s 2020.... like why don’t all the bikes come with all LED lighting from factory? Pretty sad
I wish I had saw this video last year. I wouldn't have bought a softail then. Matt was 100% correct about interstate and highway riding on a softail it can beat the hell out of you. That's one reason why I had plan on trading before I saw this video.
I totally agree with the “pricing” thing. People who buy Harleys recognize the luxury they are buying, the work of art that Harleys are, and the fact that they are iconic. The closest thing of a Honda really doesn’t compare. Same with Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki and even Indian. With Harley, you have 10 color choices on 32 models. So, you have close to 320 options for different bikes all within a similar cruiser/bagger/tourer design. With the Yamaha, you get 3 designs and 3 colors to choose from on some, but not all. 6 options compared to 320. Then, there is the whole accessories thing where you make it your own. No contest. Harley’s are individual works of art in the hands of their owners. Almost never do you see the same thing out of any of the other brands. I will say I like the ‘19 CVO better than the ‘20. Thanks for the videos though. I enjoy all of ‘em.
Hey , theres something that isnt anywhere online/ on forums.. which no channel or dealer has covered and I think it's important- All the major and minor differences between the Ultra Limited & CVO Limited.. right from the sound system, controls, seats, electronics, engine differences.. what all is standard on either machine.. it can be a video to demonstrate the value of the CVO and also create some marketing hype ! Cheers
Matt, love your videos and your down to earth commentary!
Thank you! I appreciate your comment. Thanks for watching
Awesome video. Love the commentary on the bikes. Enjoyed this one.
Awesome vid, very thorough Matt. Already own a 2020 LRS and I think this year or next I'm trading in my 1250 BMW GSA for a CVO Street Glide, I just can't stop looking at them!
7 HD and street glide is my favourite
7? Dang.
I like the way H-D stripped off the fender trim and old saddlebag bumpers. Now get rid of that extra weight left side muffler. Great choice of wheel and tire sizes. Always hated the 5x16" up front.
Yet to see a 20 CVO looking forward to the day i see one. Still LOVE my 15 CVO... it's my favorite all time bike.
Hey Matt, is it possible to retrofit the new 6.3 GTS into any Rushmore touring(save the road Glide obviously) bike 14 and later?
Always enjoy your videos, Matt. Still loving my 2017 Vivid Black Ultra Classic with extended HEEL SHIFTER :-)
My brother traded in his Kawasaki and bought a 2020 Tahitian Teal Tri Glide and he is riding the wheels off it. He's about to turn 70 years old and just loves it. Happy New Year! Hope you sell those Electra Glide Standards.
Happy New Year
I wish i could afford a Street Glide Special. Maybe next year
You could get a Heritage Classic for the same price.
Bought a 2020 Street Glide. The bike is pretty good.....except for the hydraulic clutch. The engagement feel sucks.....with no adjustment. Pretty it's why they went back to a cable in 2021.
Matt that's not a factual statement you made of the Electra Glide Standard , they are selling and I've run into lot's of people who have it , I bought it in October 2019 and I'm loving it . So even knowing it's not the top of the line try not to trash it up to much .
Matt, as always great job.. I'm just a bit disappointed with Harley Davison, Just got a 2021 street glide and for the money, we pay on these touring bikes they should all have TC, extended saddlebags, etc. Just my opinion!!! looking into the prices of all touring models besides the Electra glide standard, I think the company should look into providing more for the customer. Again thanks for your great informational videos. I do support your channel Ride safe !!!
Thanks for watching.
I love the solo look of the Electra Glide, but I'm curious as to how comfortable it would be. I currently ride a 2012 Deluxe, very cushy.
The solo seat on the EGS is very comfortable
Noice 👍 would love me a Special one day
If I was to buy a new bagger today it would be the Electra Glide Standard and then I would customize it to my liking.
The price objection is real... The thing is the Electra glide is still pretty pricey... Im sure of harley could sell them for 15 - 16K they'd be flying off the lot. But at 19K they are literally 3K away from a Street glide. And 19K is still pretty pricey especially someone coming from other motorcycles such as super sportbikes. Save maybe Ducatistas lol.
I would assume the kick stand and latches aren't blacked out on the special due to the "heavy traffic" for lack of a better term. The black would wear faster when you're touching/kicking the parts a lot.
Great informative video Matt, thanks. Have a 2019 FLHC and love it but I'm doing a lot more highway riding on weekends with my 13yo son on the back and the wind (even with aftermarket windscreens and deflectors is not cutting it. Add to that the buffeting and it's fatiguing. Thinking of just biting the bullet and moving up to a SG or RG. Now the choice is SG vs. RG and Standard vs. Special. With the Special for 2021 you get the Daymaker, low profile air cleaner, and save $$ with the chrome. If I went with the Standard, I'd definitely add the headlight/air cleaner/radio upgrades.
Matt, you have the SG and you're a lot taller than me. I have the Shoei RF1200 and some guys on the HD forums confirm it's prone to more buffeting. Do you have a recommendation for a full-face or modular? Thanks!
Nice video! Can a customer purchase a road glide special CVO in vivid black??
I ride a road king standard 2018 model and test rode a 2020 street glide and I like the road king better to me the wind shield kept the wind out of my face better decided to keep my road king.
Another great video Matt (and team ). I have a 16 SGS in denim grey and love it, awesome bike for touring over here in Australia. Would love a CVO one day but at $ 53K (AUD ) I'm not sure I'll get there. I put custom dynamics led's front and rear and just about to order Paul Yaffe bars which should make a big difference. I'm 6ft 2inchs any thoughts on 10 or 12 inch rise ? The 12's will take the grips above the fairing so I'm tending to think go 10's ?
Ride safe from Oz ✌️✌️
Biggest dilemma is wanting the 114 engine but preferring the chrome look 😫
I'm surprised the Electra Glide Standard isn't selling more.
people want a radio but don't realize they can get a kit for a few hundred bucks. You can also buy an amp with built in bluetooth and some speakers for a couple hundred and save even more money.
Great video would love to have that CVO. Ride safe bro
All 3 motorcycles are really nice When each bike again something Then I guess you lose something Thank you for the video Great information take care
Still no LED standard on the Special? Really HD?
Ridiculous at this price, I've just brought A challenger Ltd in thunder black way better
@@matthewnorwell5353 no there you are wrong my friend, HD all the way, but I had a 19 SGS and I had to get a 7" MoonsMC light
🤘⚡️🤘 the wheels on the 20 are nice!
Great video thank you!!
my 107 with stage 1,program,exhaust,air filter,is in the same power with 114 stock.
In my own opinion the sgs is the choice. That cvo is someone elses likes on a bike. But if you start with the special you can customize it to make it your own.
That’s true. I guess the CVo is for the guy who wants the best from the factory that doesn’t want to modify a bike
Great video Matt but I have a question of the CVO i see the horn cover is black with a red HD symbol is that exclusive to the CVO line.
That bros jacket has more flair than the chicks shirt at Applebee’s.
Anyone know what gloves Matt wears?
I really enjoy your videos and your comments on other builders I on a 2016 alter classic with this stage 5 Tires for her kit is definitely a performance bagger which I love dearly only Harley has the build quality built to last a lifetime the reliability And the name that is recognized worldwide I live really like where Harley is going with the street bikes I think that's a good idea as a matter of fact I'm looking at maybe buy and a street 750 the price is right and it's a Harley build quality all the way with reliability thank you I like your videos I look forward to keep rockin brother H D Neal AKA the kronk
... like usually.... great review.... thx a lot.... good job.
