2022 Harley Davidson Roadglide ST - First Ride on a bagger!

[@paler1der136]

Definitely prefer the shark fairing to the batwing. I hope we can still get a HD with an internal combustion engine in 10 years...

[@IronBornRider]

Me too. Sharks all the way

They did a good job with these ST models. I have a 2021 road glide limited. It feels light and nimble for a big bike. Very smooth, right out of the box.

[@IronBornRider]

I agree. I was surprised at how agile the bike felt at speed.

We had a demo day this past weekend and kicked myself I was too busy as this was one of them there. Nice job on the test ride. Love the voice over mixed with standard motovlog. Let’s you collect all your thoughts.

[@IronBornRider]

Thanks Chop! I will say, Harley does the demo trucks well. They make it just really easy to test out different bikes

Good review! I’m fixing to upgrade my Slim to a Street Glide Special hopefully next year. I don’t do long distance rides but I feel like I’ve outgrown the Slim and I love how a bagger feels. It’s like riding on a moving recliner. And I love the storage baggers provide 🤙

[@IronBornRider]

Thanks Carol! The baggers are super comfortable all around and extremely convenient with all the storage options.

[@KennyQuestShow]

We’re all destined for HD baggers!

[@IronBornRider]

💯

I bought 22 Road Glide ST and now I bought a 23 Road Glide ST and I have a 131 in this one! Let me tell you though! 30000 grand is just a starting price! Out the door it’s more like 37000

[@IronBornRider]

Ooof, that’s just too rich for my blood 😅

[@TechNickRides]

Good review IBR, especially coming from about the same height as myself and not much experience with the larger baggers. I put the Road Glide in one of my top categories for a long distance bike. I dunno maybe one day I’ll have one. 🙂🏍👍

[@IronBornRider]

Thanks Tet! Same here, the Roadglide will be in my possession some day

[@RoadReality]

Man, those STs got the 3" of suspension travel! That's the biggest issue I have with my Street Glide - 2" of travel :( BTW, a bagger comes in handy even on daily rides, especially if you take it to go run errands or need to bring stuff with you :D As for the responsiveness - I agree - the Harley touring bikes are great and just as nimble as you'd want for an 800lb bike :D

[@IronBornRider]

Definitely a practical bike, but definitely a learning curve with the slow maneuvers

[@RoadReality]

@@IronBornRider Absolutely! Just need a little rear brake and a few revs and slow-speed becomes easy[ier?].

[@brianfreeman3192]

My buddy doesn't have the ST model but he loves his all the same. I'm more of a Street Glide guy.

[@IronBornRider]

Streetglides are great! I love that HD has both

[@brianfreeman3192]

I haven't ridden the Road or the Street Glide. Probably best that I don't lol. I have heard the ride is amazing on the Road Glide. I just prefer the Batwing over the shark nose. I'd give both a spin for sure if given the chance.

[@irishguyjg_2ndchancerecovery]

I've only ever ridden a sporty. Not kidding, I've never owned not a sporty lol.

[@IronBornRider]

I love sportsters, I’ll always have at least one with me at all times

[@irishguyjg_2ndchancerecovery]

@@IronBornRider lol I LOVE IT! SPORTSTER4LIFE
