+Joe Dragon Ha ha!

LOLLLLL

HAHAHAHAHA......4 years late but the curves are still there.......

@@anonanon8227 lol i forgot i even made this comment. Glad the curves are still there anon!!!

Can practically hear the bush

was noticin this too. watch all 3 bikes.... all of them taking turns really badly.

Thanks.

Just curious. What road were you filming this on?

Mulholland Highway near Cornel Corners. Apparently, hoohoohoblin hasn't a clue. His user name should be a "clue".

Silent Killer That was my favorite show when I was a kid. I still sometimes sing the theme song in my head when I'm riding my motorcycle.

***** The music actually makes me want to go find some seventies porn with bush as far as the eye can see. I'm now thinking about growing my mustache out again.

Bob Frankenstein Sounds good!

+Dave Nichols Thanks!

+Bruce Silverman Yes. Everything is relative. They really did a great job making such a big bike handle so well.

tomcata1467 I love my FXR. The big twins got a lot bigger and heavier over the years. Looking at Harley's current motorcycle lineup, the Sportster with a big gas tank looks like the closest thing to an FXR, now that the engine is rubber mounted, and the Sportster engine is more reliable than the twin cam. I made this video to compare them: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/orBmprimrdXPZJc.html

What makes that frame better than any other Harley frame? Harley hasn't had frame problems since they went to rear suspension. FXR?? It's just a glorified Sportster, Just slower. Worth a lot of money?? I see them all the time for 2-4 thousand bucks.

True.

That's good to know. I ride an FXR, which handles great because the frame is ridiculously stiff. It's nice that the engineers at Harley Davidson are always improving their bikes. The Street Glide looks like a pure cruiser that can't really corner, but looks are deceiving.

My father in law had a 2003 Road King, he wasn't a fan of it in the twisties, said it was too soft and dragged floorboards way too easy.

Harley did a great job of making the Street Glide a really functional all-around motorcycle. A lot of people like the style but don't appreciate how well-engineered it is and how well it works.

***** Thanks for the link , now these street glides do handle great, actually they're a surprise packet . Good road clearance and they go through the twisty bits out here in Aus quite well . I may sound a little fussy here , but all the instruments look to much in the fairing for my liking , but a nice looking bike just the same . I have rode one they seem to have a slight rake or front end difference to other HD's not sure? I did have a 1998 Harley Davidson FXD Dyna Super Glide foot pegs in the middle mid glide front end and that bike stuck to the road like it was on rails , It did have cruise pegs further up the front on the frame but i never used them (i sold it) silly man .that i am . Now i will be making the transition to floor boards whatever i choose.wanting one of the bigger cruisers , that should be interesting / Nice little bit of banter with the young girl (woman ) You: So can these go around the corner :) Her: arms folded Hell Yeahhhhhh they can ;~ / with a friendly laugh You :Sure I'll believe it when i see it "chuckle chuckle" Nice upload Thank you have a safe and happy weekend

poor rider that's all !

That’s terrible. The sportster used to be sporty.

Thanks. Yes. If you slow down before the turn and accelerate through the turn, the front end raises up, giving more ground clearance, so you can lean farther and carry more speed through the turn.

+sfoluxury Anthony How drives is his problem, no one likes some who sits in front of a screen and nit-picks

They are heavy as hell. its not that bad though im 5'11" 130 and handle it just fine.

you're right ; get on the brakes before the corner and then let off and speed up when your about 2/3rds thru !

@@DLN-ix6vf probably trail braking

@@vadidithy trail braking ? what's that

I'd turn at the same time, but go slower and also know the limits of how far the bike can lean over. Cruisers have a lot more weight on the rear wheel than a sportbike, so throttle control is a little different as well.

Yeah. It's great for such a big bike. They worked pretty hard to get it to corner that well.

Christian Fischer Your an idiot if you don’t you will tip over the bike waits over 800 lbs my dad his this same motorcycle

@@nateweingust8393 you are fucking disgustingly stupid. You do not put your head into the lane of oncoming traffic. Simple.

Ha ha!

This is Mulholland Highway in Malibu California.

Yes. Just looking at it, you wouldn’t think that it would be so functional, or that it could corner so well, but they did a really good job making it work well in a lot of different conditions.

+John Hall Awesome!

Harleys are built to run forever. They're overbuilt and understressed, which means you can buy one that's 10 or 15 years old with low mileage to ride across the country and still keep your Aprillia. My FXR is 25 years old and still running fine, and the engine has never been apart.

salisburyplain998 those wide forks look like they'd handle like crap.

rickdafrog I ended up buying a 2017 fat bob

+Ray Flores Yes. It is better to brake before the turn and accelerate through it.

+Ray Flores yep, shows how lame he rides

Jacob Sanders Mulholland Highway in the Santa Monica Mountains in California. The section of the road above The Rock Store called The Snake.

This is the part of Mulholland Highway called The Snake, right above The Rock Store in the Santa Monica Mountains. It is our local racer road. If you watch the videos on the rnickeymouse KZfaq channel, you can see lots of bikes going fast on this road.

True. Well said!

I'm a rebel, look at me and all my leather, hear my super loud pipes. Better do the speed limit.

The most pathetic arguments I see is when sport bike guys call Harleys crap because of their performance. Both bikes are fantastic when used in their intended roles. Yes, on the track, or dippin' and divin' the twisties with the other power rangers, a Harley is crap. But, can you ride a Sport bike for 6 or 12 hours only stopping for fuel? Nope. Apples to Oranges. Its like saying a Ferrari is crap because it can't haul a load of wood, or calling a pickup truck crap because it can't hit the racetrack and be competitive. It's just nonsense.

Exactly!

Ever see a school bus go down the Tail of the Dragon......?

> I'm a rebel, look at me and all my leather, hear my super loud pipes. Better do the speed limit. Yeah, I hate those idiots on Gixxers too!

There are some great roads out there. This was shot on Mulholland Highway in the Santa Monica mountains in California.

Cool !!!

***** ON your way to the Rock Store?

Mulholland Highway in the Santa Monica mountains in California. It's the part of the road above the Rock Store called The Snake. rnickeymouse shoots his videos there. I wonder if we were in one of them.

I don’t remember the name of it. It is one of the free music tracks that KZfaq lets you put in videos.

Dear Hoohoohoblin Thank you very much for your kind answer. If you ever remember the name, please let me know. A big hug!

Close. It's a Buell Cyclone.

the viking pretty sure it's vigilante 8 theme music lol

I agree. That Dyna is a lot heavier, and the Sportster is 100 pounds heavier than the Buell. The Buell is a great all around real-world motorcycle.

Thanks! I thought it fit perfectly.

Mark Conde They really corner well for such big motorcycles. It is got that Harley-Davidson considers this when building bikes. I wish they would bring back the Dyna Glide Sport.

Love my fat bob. Its my first cruiser and I'm pretty hooked. Been riding sport for years and I finally took one for a demo ride to kinda kill some time. Right away I knew I had to have it. The 103 has some nice punch and I was grinding pegs on it the first day I had it.

Scraping is riding!

Both of the bikes in the video have stock bikes with louder slip-on mufflers, and the guys are happy with the way their Street Glides perform and sound. I read a comparison between the Chieftan and the Street Glide in a magazine this month. Harley has some serious competition!

hey if u havent bought them yet. look at the cfr pipes. sound amazing. a buddy or mine works for the parts dept at Harley Davidson farrows and told me to try them along with fullsac headers

Steve fowler Thanks I'll look into it, I saw some videos on KZfaq recently on CFR pipes.

he said to check out full sac headers too

But of course!

Slippin Jimmy Nah, he was too busy riding the metric crowd.

Thanks.

TAMPAHARLEYGROUP

Yes!

+Gary Inman I noticed that too. Felt uncomfortable watching in places.

+Gary Inman They were trying out that new fangeld trail braking

If THEY knew how to ride they wouldn't need to brake in a curve. Braking in a curve will put you down eventually especially on wet pavement. A riding course may be of help

Rick Henry 2001 Buell Cyclone,

Actually breaking into the curve and throttling out is correct

Yes, unless you count the Buells. I had a 1996 Sportster and put longer shocks on the back and Progressive springs up front, and it handled great. I sold it and bought a Buell Cyclone, which handles even better.

Alan Turnquist That's like saying "fastest dump truck" or "lightest barge".

What about the vrod

Vrod corners well but the Sportster and Buell are Harleys best cornering bikes. I may have to change that now that Harley is selling the 750 lol

Would anyone ride from Northern California down to Arizona V-Rod with a passenger? I'm thinking of going down to AZ next summer for spring training but I've been told the V-Rod is not to comfortable.

Carl Arrington Yes!
