    Love my Sport Glide, rode from London to the Costa del sol and back with no issues. Also great around town and country lanes, I think it’s really the best of both.
    Smaller rider at 5’6!

    Sport Glide for me, having tried both extensively stumped up the cash to get one, no regrets.
    Pleased you enjoyed the road trip, keep up the good work.

    Have had a Sport Glide since 2018. Living in Los Angeles one wants to be riding almost everyday of the year. So having the best of both worlds, cruiser and touring in one, is so appreciated specially with the LA traffic while having the capability to ride the many year round touring all over the country. Never had a problem with it. Took the faring off day one and never used it since. It's beautiful and sporty unlike the bulky heavier touring bikes. Naturally added/ replaced a ton of after market to add my personal signature to it. Simply the best HD has produced in such a long time. Shame they have stopped production. On the positive side, they have come up with the Low Rider S which is a combination of the SG and the old Low Rider.
    Appreciated the video and the very fair comparison. Thanks.

      Thanks for sharing your experience! The Sport Glide really does bring that perfect blend of cruiser and touring, especially in a place like LA. Sounds like you've made it your own, too! Totally agree-it’s a shame they stopped production, but at least we’ve got the Low Rider S now. Appreciate you watching and the kind words!

    Love my Sport Glide..such an amazing bike. Toured Scotland seeing family...fancy it again next year or maybe Europe. Would've loved a Street Glide as rode one across the USA..but just too expensive for me atm, so Sport Glide was 2nd option...and I love it to bits. Thanks for upload.. :)

    • @TheGirlOnABike

    1. I'm not a cruiser fan (yet), but prefer the convertible flexibility of the sport glide (presently ride a Tiger Rally Pro).
    2. Your spots look a little burned. Would a sunscreen help?
    3. 4:50 WOW! How about an order of fries (chips) with that shake.
    I have a Sena gizmo for coms that can play music to the Arai HD4 helmet. Sound quality is ok, but I haven't used it yet after two years. I prefer the sound of the wind rattling around my brain. I live in a small village that gets a lot of visiting bikers on the weekends. From 200 yards away, I can hear the music playing on their machines (even over their after market pipes). To each their own.
    If you had to pick one, which would you take on your next multi-day tour?

    I own a sport glide best bike I’ve ever owned and 3rd . Harley it’s versatile can be striped down in 2 mins to be with fairing and panniers . Street glide is a full time Bagger Sportglide can be both Bagger and naked . Basically if you want a full time Bagger amd majority of your riding is long rd trips the street glide Is the one . If you want 2 bikes in 1 then the sport glide

    For these two bikes the Street Glide Special would suit me best, I think. It comes closest to my old GL1100. But the Ultra Classic is my favorite, just don't have the money for it. (Neither for the new GL1800 btw😅) But my bike will do, is easy reparable with normal tools and has mega storage for luggage. So as long as it runs.....👊😎

  • @eddierodriguez5549

    Love your videos and appreciate your thorough review. Some times people seem a bit unfair with some preconceived opinions. My wife and I have been riding for many years and in 2020 we purchased two RGS and we love them. They are confortable and above all give a sense of security and the 114 with a little work to the engine has plenty of power. I would suggest when you have a chance try the RG Special I think you will enjoy it. Some people take a while to get used to the fixed fearing but I think you will have no issues. My wife went from a Breakout the RGS in no time at all and she loves her RG. BE SAFR 🙏

      Oh nice! It will definitely be a fun change for you! They are awesome bikes to ride, and much more relaxing and freeing than a sports bike - in my opinion of course. Enjoy the ride and thank you for watching! ❤️

  • @acrevelations8457

    I have a street glide special. Love it. But honestly, the bike is a nightmare in heavily congested traffic, which I deal with daily. The constant stop and go with the weight wears on the body after awhile. I've considered trading it in for a sport glide.

    Sport Glide, I bought a FLHTC back in 1993 90th anniversary model, I found it just too much. Also the whole HOG thing was just born again biker's with too much money. Harley tshirts, Harley jacket, boots socks, toothbrush... you get the picture. So sold it after 10 months, bought a shovelhead, joined HDRCGB and mingled with real biker's like myself. I've had the HD thing out of my system for over 25 years now. But I've got the urge again, and the sport glide is calling out to me. Tempted 😮 edit, never been without a bike since 1976. Toured, UK, NZ, Spain, France, Island, and Japan. So lots left for a sports glide

  • @drainmonkeys385
    @drainmonkeys385 2 года назад

    We right off .. the street glide is going to be smoother and more wind protection… but.. the sport glide is likely to be more conducive for twistier roads… lighter and more manageable… but much of all that depends on upgrades if any

I do own Yamaha virago750/now for sale, pardon me/ and recently switched to a Vstrom650. But whatever model Harley guys make, for me it should have the magic word "glide" in it. Thanks a lot to both of you!

    The factory seat on my Sport Glide is absolutely rubbish and miserable. I ended up ( in the USA) getting a Saddlemen Explorer seat for mine. 2018 model, and the seat makes all the difference in travelling comfort. Also swapped out the rear shock for a 57mm with 4.5" of rear travel instead of the stock 3.5". Absolutely a huge difference on bumpy or rougher 2 lane roads in poor condition.
