I own both....my biggest differences....The RG you have a feeling that the front tire is extended out further than you do on a SG, this is due to the nose being so much further out front...so the RG "feels" a lot longer than the SG. The RG, counter steering and handling are more confident, as you do not have that extra 40-50 lbs of weight on the bars. If you ride aggressive in turns a lot I think the RG is better...(I ride my RG a LOT harder in turns than I do the SG) as it gives me much more confidence, its more responsive to rider input and I assume this is because of the lack of weight attached to the upper part of the bars. The SG has a MUCH BETTER rider bubble with a much lower shield since its so much closer to the rider. I have a 6 inch shield on the SG and a 9 inch on the RG....the RG is WAY noisier than the SG...both my wife and I 100% can certify that there is far less wind noise and you can hear the stereo MUCH BETTER on the SG. People have always said that the SG gets blown around on the highway moreso than the RG and is affected more when passing trucks and what not.....for US this has absolutely NOT been the case....motorcycles are affected by wind, thats just the simple facts of it...I have not noticed the RG being any less affected than my SG by gusts of wind....if anything it affects me MORE on the RG as my SG has a much better rider bubble. Like you Tall, I have never had ANY issues on my SG on the highway at all....but then again I also ride a sportbike and a triumph bobber, which REALLY get blown around...all my Harleys feel way more planted on the highway than other bikes and I think that can be attributed to the massive increase in weight than any other bike I own. I do absolutely LOVE the additional front storage on the RG but I love the gauge layout WAY MORE on the SG (I HATE looking down to see my RPM on the RG). Is one better than teh other...I dont really think so, I think its all about rider preference and each has advantages and disadvantages when compared to each other. I like the RG when I am riding aggressively and I like the SG when I am doing long trips and relaxing. (My wife likes the SG more, as she hates the additional noise on the RG and I REFUSE to put a 14 inch screen on it as I simply hate the look of the tall screen). Have a GREAT HOLIDAY TALL!! Thank you so much for all you do Brother!! Have a blessed holiday season!

I’ve ridden my Road Glide across the country and back and it was a dream to ride. Though with that being said, you can’t go wrong with either one. Each just has their character.

After riding SG for 5 years, test rode a RG and bought one afterwards. RG handles so much better.

Being biased, the street glide is just hands down a better looking ride that essentially is the same bike.

This video made me buy a road glide 2 years later. Much love from South Africa 🇿🇦

great meeting you at Maverick Harley a few weeks ago. Great Vid, keep it up!!!!!

Thank you, Tall. God bless.

I give you a + on the headlights...not taking anything away from the Street Glide, that is a plus...so yes, I give you that one...but the handling is truly different, as I have ridden both before I made my decision on going with the Road Glide, I came from a Kawasaki Ninja, so the fixed fairing is what I was use to, but, I did say but, I did give the Street Glide a chance to bring me into the Harley Davidson world as my first Harley Davidson, but the Road Glide won me over, due to the ride and the way it handled. So stay blessed Bro and keep on Gliding, soon to be Road Gliding...LOL 🤣🤣🤣

Happy you did this comparison

I made the decision to get a streetglide after learning the differences between the two in your past videos. Great channel my friend, and always thankful for the info I find here!

sounds like you're gonna buy a red challenger to me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Tony doin tall dirty at the end LOL 😂

I prefer the more open feel of the RoadGlide. It's simply a matter of differing taste. Both are terrific bikes!

Man I love your reviews. Keep pushing out the great content. Love your personality and outlook.

I’ve seen all the comparison videos. Yours i by far the best. Simple, to the point, absolutely perfect brother. Great Job!!

Thanks for sharing your opinion

Thank you for this viewpoint. I’m looking at both…

Either one is a dream for long distance.

Good info Tall. Appreciate it.

I ride a 2013 Streetglide, been riding all over the country on it. No abs brakes or computer screen. I've got my eyes peeled for a 13 roadglide but havnt came accross one. New bikes i like the ElectraGlide Standard wish there was a Roadglide like that without radio and computer screen. My 13 Streetglide has the best guages set up, so cool looking it never gets old

I have a 20 RGL. Fully Dressed with Stage IV Upgrade, D&D Full Exhaust, and Saddlemen Seats. Feels like I’m always watching a movie in High Definition while sitting on a couch when riding on the highway here in California. I love the RG, RGS, and the RGL.

Went from a SG to a RG and am so glad I did.

Thank you for all the tips on the SG & RG. I have subscribed and your video was very informative and to the point.

I'll try them both...

Great video. Just bought a road glide, and I’m loving every second of riding it

Love the video, thank you for all the info

Outstanding presentation on the differences between the two bikes. Thanks !

Tony is a good guy. I had the pleasure of meeting him earlier this year. My partner and I picked up a 2018 RG CVO from him. Awesome bike..

Thanks for another great video

Good honest review Tall _ I'm (or I should my son) is part of the Road Glide Special mob!! I'm considering the Road Glide Limited purchase. Thanks for sharing!

I've ridden both for a number of years, but I prefer the Rushmore style Road Glide. It has an aggressive look and the dual headlamps makes riding a night or early morning no problem. The light is so wide, you don't have to turn your bike to see out to the sides (of course, you can always put some Custom Dynamics on it). As mentioned, the newer model also provides the handlebar controls instead of reaching for the radio like the older models. The biggest plus is the space to hold the call phone. As for the fixed fairing, I don't feel much of a difference unless the wind was really gusty. I'm not looking at tach/speedometers unless I really need to so placement of them is not an issue. Get out there and ride!! @TravelingTall @HarleyDavidson #MyHarleyTradition

Quite informative. And comprehensive. Good job !

Love your channel Tall, great video.

I just got my Street Glide and I'm loving it 🏍

I bought my first Harley last year came from all sport bikes. I was really torn between the two. I love the look of the dual headlights of the RG coming down the road. It really came down to the rider view of the SG for me which is what I’m always looking at when I’m riding. Both are beautiful bikes. Everyone I ride with has RG’s so I’m glad I went with the SG just to be different. Got a great deal on a 2020 left over CVO for the same price as a 21 special would of cost . Love your content 👌🏻

I have to say both the Road Glide and Street Glide are awesome Harvey’s I like that the new ones both have the 114 cubic inch engine and most of all Harley Davidson is the best bikes in the world period!

Thanks Tall!!!

Thx for the information

I wanted to know what the differences were between the 2. I was already leaning toward getting an SG. And on this video it just confirms it more-so based on the pros and cons. Very good on articulating all points 👌🏾

Ive been told by several people "ride both and you will KNOW which one u prefer." This video was very helpful. Thnk u

I have a SG, and I love it but I do like the pockets on the road glide fairing. And how big they are. It’s nice to be able to have room for more than just your cell phone.

I just love both. I changed to my rg but I loved the sg too. Both are just a ton of fun and the little difference you get used to in a minute and forget about it.

I’d be happy with either one. Both are beautiful bikes, I’m leaning towards a street glide because it’s actually the first Harley I ever got to ride so there’s a feeling of nostalgia about it.

I just got a 2022 street glide special and I love it

I'm with Tony....get the roadglide Tall!!!!!!

Fixed fairing on the Road Glide is great, very stable at cruising speed, just like the Honda Goldwing.

Great review on both bikes, I'm partial to the Street Glide, I like the fact that the head light turns with the handle bars, like you mentioned. 👍

Two headlights for me, thanks great review👍

I have a 2019 street glide,love your videos sir

Tall I went from a 17 ultra limited to a 21 roadglide limited. I am now a believer in the roadglide. Both bikes are nice, but this roadglide is just a bit more comfortable. 114 vs 107, this 21 is geared taller. Into a wind is better on the glide. The 21s are so smooth and powerful.

Love your channel, great videos

I have a sportster and considering upgrading.. this has been helpful!!

Love the content! First of your videos if watched!! I’M IN MAN

Great Job Tall! I'm a Street Glide guy as well!

First time watching your channel. As soon as I saw the gated property I knew it was you were in Knoxville. Great content!

Thanks for the explanation. I live in Nebraska and it does get really gusty so handling is important to me. I'm also taller so seating position is something I'm looking for

Tall, I have the highest respect for your loyalty (to the Street Glide) and HD intellect. However, your obstinance and inflexibility are showing because we both know, that you know which is the better bike. Your attempt at demonstrating objectivity comparing the Street Glide and the Road Glide is very good ... but the disingenuity is peeking through. Keep the Street Glide but get the bike that we all know you really want to have, the Road Glide. Your Street Glide friends and family will get over it!

Great Video Tall... I Have A Street Glide... But I Like Both.

Fantastic info, thanks 👍

Good info, thanks Tall. I'm 6'5" myself.

Tall be making these touring bikes look like softails. LOL. Mountain of a man. Great video sir. Never knew about turning the wheel on the street glide to help get the bike up. That's amazing.

very informative thank you

Thank you Tall.

Tks very informative 😎

I'm comming from a zx14. I've been on the fence for about 2 months now. This is a great video but I I still can't decide. Rode my first harley 2 weeks ago loved it!!

Out of all the videos I've watched lately, this one is up there with the best. Very informative and I like your attitude . God bless you in the name of Jesus Christ. SPORTSTER4LIFE here, could never afford a r.g. or s.g.

At the end of the day it’s all about preference all that said and done Road Glide for me love mine

Great video, appreciated.

Awesome video dude! I’ve had a 2015 CVO Street glide and I’m looking to trade it in. I am leaning towards getting the road glide this time in this video really helped me a lot. Keep up the great work!

As a longtime harley rider I had street glides for may years. Love them, great bikes! I recently traded for a roadglide after to try it out, no regrets. They are both excellent, but I prefer the roadglide by a small margin. You look good on that roadglide Tall! Either way, keep glidin and smiling. God bless

Well done review , I ride a 21 SGS , batwing for the win.

Tall, great review and objective covering the bikes. Got a new subscriber, looking forward to what you have to say. Be blessed.

Tall, thanks again for a great video. I think I am choosing to go with a Road glide. I am 6'4" and weigh 270 pounds. my bride likes to ride with me and we believe we will enjoy the Glide family for many years. Keep up with the great videos.

Great video man... I have a 2020 Street Glide Special and absolutely love it! Having said that, I'll echo what many have said, each one is a great bike, it just comes down to personal preferences.

All MAN , my buddy just got a road glide. He 5'7". I'm buying his neighbors 2010 street glide. Done very nice!. Selling my 06 softail after 8 months an 4000 miles. It's also nicely done. Great description of the bikes. I m commented and subscribing and following , share us too. Good times.

As a newer Harley rider, which I have only ridden an Electra Glide for about 3 years, I would have to say my preference would be the Street Glide. Nothing against the Road Glide, as it's a sharp bike, but I like the look and ride of the Electras and Streets. While I love the storage of Electras, the next bike will be a Street Glide. Found your channel as a suggestion from KZfaq, and I'm glad that it popped up. You have a new subscriber and definitely looking forward to watching more videos. Ride safe!

Great video. I have a 05 Electra glide and thinking about adding a road glide to the fleet

i like it..... good content keep it comin!

I know jack about bikes and found your video informative...

Great video! Technically the handlebars are attached the same on both bikes; difference is RG fairing is attached to the frame so it is fixed and on the SG it’s attached to the front forks.

Another great video, Tall. I have heard from many people, that it is easier with a RG versus a SG in heavy wind, passing trucks, etc.. i’ll be honest, that has never been a factor with me either. Having big trucks ride by, heavy winds, is a little louder on my helmet when they passed, but I don’t get shaking for unsteadiness at all. Never has been an issue.

2016 Road Glide owner, I Love it!!!. Had to get the bigger windshield FYI, you're at the dealership I bought my road glide from. Good peeps

Bat wing wins hands down for myself, i look at the speedometer and tachometer way more then the navigation screen so having them above works great for me. I don't believe the myths about the differences between the fixed vs bar mounted, both work fine. The twin headlights are a definite plus but that can be fixed with a light bar or as i did lights mounted to the guards from the H.D. parts catalog. Then some light stays forward and some turn with the bars. I prefer the looks of the bat wing but that is 100% opinion. It's really awesome that they (Harley Davidson) make both 😎 video Tall... good luck with the itch to trade for the sharknose 😂😂😂 it will drive you 😤

thanks for that u made up my mind SG it is

1 minute in aaaaannddd.... subbing lol good stuff right here man.

Tkhs for sharing

As a new Harley owner, I opted for the Road Glide. My second choice (and it was VERY close) was a Road King. Last would have been a Street Glide. All great bikes! What made the difference for me? Aesthetics, purely aesthetics. The Road Glide won over the Road King because of the build-in navigation system. Even that was a bit of a toss-up, though, because I'd have an an add-on Garmin GPS needed for the Road King, and I like the Garmin functionality better. So, tough decision!

Two great looking bikes to be honest I think it come down to preference either one great choice 👍🏻

I’m thinking about moving out of Arizona and moving to Tennessee and when that eventually does happen I will likely be selling my 2020 Street Bob and finally getting into either a Street Glide or Road Glide, I’ve ridden both of them and I like how the Road Glide looks but the Street Glide felt better to me in stock form. I think with some new bars because the stock bars on both bikes are just awful and uncomfortable I think I could make the Road Glide feel like I want it to. I have 15” apes on my Street Bob and it made a HUGE difference, I also got a new seat and forward controls, both made a huge difference in the comfort of riding the bike. But who knows, when it’s time for me to finally get a new bike I’ll have to make that final decision and I don’t think I could go wrong with either of the bikes. Keep up the great work Tall, love the videos! ✌🏼

I have had both! Street glide for the win!

I demoed both back to back a few years ago and the RG felt huge in comparison to the SG just because of the visual presence of the bigger fairing, the bikes basically ride the same. Had to hunt for the gauges on both simply because I'm used to a sport touring bike with a digital speedo and analog tach right next to each other

I’m new to all this and I like that street glide

I've had both, and the RG rides like a dream on the expressway, superb! But can't go wrong with either one. I do like the SG as well, it's more compact of a cruiser like I said, can't go wrong with either one. Honestly, I prefer the SG due to me being a shorter type of guy at 5'6" and it's easier to reach the touch screen panel, etc.. Both bikes are good, extremely good.. Oh also, you don't feel any buffering on the RG when passing trucks, semis, etc. On the SG you may feel a bit, but it all depends on how you ride and how you keep your distance from whatever vehicle you are passing. But the SG passed through anything without feeling a bit of any buffering...

Tried the RG, never felt comfortable with the reach as you mentioned. Ended up getting a SGS. Rode that bike all over the country and liked it for a time. Traded the SGS about 6 months ago for a Freewheeler. A different type of ride, obviously, but it brought a smile to my face from the 1st ride and ever since. Once/if that that feeling ever goes away...back to the dealer for another pick.

both are amazing bikes to drive nice video.

Traded my 11 SG for the 21 RG special, less buffeting and more "clean" wind i think but i love them both.

One thing I did notice when deciding on mine, and it's very small, is that at very low speed 5 or Less MPH in cornering you do feel the weight of the batwing over the weight of the glide. Now that being said, I do have to drive down a gravel road everyday that has deep spots and just straight up holes. I agree that I do feel more open on my RG, I was in between a RG and a Ultra Classic, and I just felt less cramped for space. Only watched a few videos of yours but will be definitely checking out more. I spotted where you were at Bootlegger in Knoxville and was like hey! I know that place. Maryville myself SMH-D!, I do got to go to BL to get the last of my local HD poker chips. Would be cool to meet you and talk about this topic and do some riding!

great video and it was smart to shoot it with the sun in your face so we could see you even though you had to squint.

Thanks mate good review I’m in Australia trying to make up my own mind

I test rode both and got a 2019 street glide CVO.

Yo Tall, No doubt your Street Glide is Sweet but I absolutely love my Road Glide bro. One of these days I believe you will own a Road Glide. Appreciate you bro. Always great content.
