What a Fun Ride!

I have owned 2 Heritage Softail Classics and decided it was time for something a little different. I have really enjoyed my Harley experience but felt the extra weight of the Street Glide would compromise power. I really wanted to have the ABS Brakes and thought Cruise Control and the electronics wo...uld be fun. I had our local dealer do a "Stage I" upgrade before delivery. WOW! I had no idea the response this bike delivered. PLENTY of power and it handles curves like a Bullet Train. It gets real light the minute it starts moving and is very easy to handle. My 112 lb wife rode it and I was afraid she was going to keep it and give me her Crossbones. I added a Reach Seat, Running Lights, Back Rest for Rider and Passenger and a luggage rack. It still looks Edgy and delivers much more performance than I expected. I highly recommend this bike for someone leaving the ranks of the Dyna and Softail family that doesn't want a 900 pound motorcyle to move around. Read Full Review

What a Wonderful Surprise!

I just purchased a 2010 Street Glide after riding Harley Softails exclusively. I considered a "bigger bagger" and even some of the competitors offerings but HD does such a good job with branding that I really wanted to remain a loyal Harley family member. I added a "Stage I upgrade&q...uot;, luggage rack (not old enough for a tour pack yet), a passenger back rest, a reach seat and a driver back rest. At 801 pounds you might think this machine was a handful but you'd be wrong. My 105 pound wife took it out and loved it. It handles much more like a Sport Bike in the twisties but gives a good, solid ride on the highway. I don't know if it's the electronic throttle or gearing or the Stage I but it seems to have an abundance of power in high elevations and hot temperatures; much more than I expected. I'm very happy with the purchase! Read Full Review

First Harley

I have been riding motorcycles for over 30 years and this is my first Harley. My last Bike a 2003 Kawasaki Mean Streak was totaled in an accident in 2007. 3 years later I found myself in a position to purchase a new bike and came across the Street Glide. I was love at first sight. The power band ...on this engine is wonderful even cruising in 6th gear I can roll on the throttle and it will pull away. The bike loves corners and loves to lean. My Kaw could out run this bike from a standing start and you could throw it into a corner at a higher speed, but it cannot compare to the all around comfort and handling of the Street Glide. I commute to work and the cruise control is a dream along with the tall 6th gear which drops the rpm's and make for a relaxing cruise to and from work about 50 miles each way. With the rubber mounted engine the bike is smooth, none of the engine vibration is passed onto the ride. My wife and I have no problem putting on 200 to 300 miles in a day. If you looking for a bike that is sporty, handles great and will put a smile on our face then look no futher. Harley has built this bike and called it the Street Glide. Read Full Review

Perfect Glide ...

I struggled deciding between a Road King and Street Glide. Took delivery on a 2010 Street in July on my birthday. That will be hard to top. 5600 Miles later, no doubt I made the right decision. Stage I Kit, K&N air filter, Vance & Hines double slash slip on, Tall Boy seat, back rest, 7&qu...ot; windshield, a few choice pieces of chrome and wow!! I'm not sure if it rides better two up (total 330 lbs) or me solo (6'4/ 200 lbs) Either way, more than enough torque and acceleration through the gear box, strong through turns, high and low speed balance and transition is exceptional. I opted for ABS and cruise. I'll admit it took me a minute to get used to the 2-in-1 exhaust, but now it works for me visually and I do appreciate the performance dividend. There's really nothing that this machine is missing. Great design, head turning looks, solid performance, long range comfort, nimble handling, reasonable price tag. What's not to like. More 72 degree days... now that would be a nice option.

Second home run,HD has real winner

June 25th a honda crv ran a red light and totaled my 2010 street glide. HD totaled the Honda in revenge, heavy touring bikes are good! Now I have 3K miles on my second 2010 street glide. Since getting the street glide I have only put a couple of miles on my other 2003 Ultra Glide. I Love This Bi...ke!! Read Full Review
