Harley Davidson Street Glide Special - FULL REVIEW and TEST RIDE!

In this video I review the 2023 Harley Davidson Street Glide Special. You can't get the Baja Orange color way in black trim unless you do it yourself. Timms Harley Davidson has taken the work out it for you. This bike is available at the time of posting this video.

The orange and black ROCKS!

[@joebada7635]

I just purchased a 2023 Street Glide Special in baja orange with chrome trim at my local dealership. No regrets at all. It's absolutely amazing.

[@stevengirouard6840]

The Challenger you were driving behind sounded pretty awesome😂

[@dannybell516]

Love the Orange and Black. Wish Harley would come out with this combo from factory.

[@MichaelBrown-ny3et]

I can’t say enough how much I love my 2021 Street Glide Special. I’m with you on the led lights.

[@DuramaxKev]

Harley Davidson needs to implement this Orange with Black trim.

[@user-gf9xb7de9f]

I fell in love with the chrome trim version of this bike while at AZ Bike Week. Found it at Scottsdale HD - still kicking myself for not driving it home that day! Thanks to your review, I may end up looking for one here at home …

[@nate1920]

Awesome walk around review. Very informative thank you

[@michaelwilson5097]

Own a ‘22 Street Glide Special in Midnight Crimson Red/Black w/Chrome! Love mine and love the 114! Upgraded all lighting to LED, Speakers and amp to Fosgate! As the bike resides in South Florida had it Ceramic coated which helps with salt corrosion before it left the dealer!

[@coleyoung3200]

Been waiting for the new bike releases love your reviews

[@ItsMsSue2U7154]

This is my next test ride. I can already tell I prefer this over the road glide. Thanks for the information! :)

[@MrAndrew1953]

That orange /black trim does grow on you out on the road,especially in terms of visibility in traffic. It makes me feel a lot safer. I would opt for LED turn signals for winter in the rain and a more comfortable two-up seat with pillion back support - you have to keep them happy.

[@talkingrock7011]

This makes me love my 2019 CVO even more !

[@jasperduncan6633]

I think Harley missed a trick, colour combo looks very good. Glad to see you haven’t lost your touch

[@morrisdennis]

Very nice, my friend bought one venom green and absolutely luvs it!🤗

[@kipfletcher5591]

Huge mistake by the MoCo by not making the Baja Orange with black trim. Great job Timm's! Awesome review and awesome combo!!

Appreciate you, KIP!!

I LOVE the new Breakout in the Orange! This Streetglide looks better with Black trim than Chrome

[@josephmirigliano8728]

Awesome video ride safe and enjoy ❤❤❤❤❤

[@csederlund]

My dealership did the same thing. Only reason I bought it was because they swapped out the chrome for black. I'm a little torn. Part of me wishes I waited a year to buy a new Street Glide. The other part of me is glad I bought the 23 since it is the last year of this style.

[@pmh1440]

I’d love to see you review a 23 street glide ST in white sand pearl

[@throttleblip9854]

I can make that happen! I need to do that model anyway.

[@danielandrews4832]

That is exactly what I would order if they done this combo from factory. Best looking bike and colour combo.

[@morrisdennis]

I have a 20 rg limited 114 and luv it!🤗

[@Aerospace_Education]

I was just at your dealership on Saturday. I might actually buy this exact bike. So don't get any scratches on it :) I was leaning toward a 2022 red one in the show room. Thought I wouldn't like the orange based on the pictures. But in person the color really has grown on me.

[@throttleblip9854]

That's awesome. Casey said you may be there tomorrow? I'm not sure what time but I'll be there at some point hopefully I run into you. I'm pretty found of this one so please be good to her! haha

[@moto-minimalist8196]

Harley Davidson missed the target again by not offering Baja Orange in the blacked out trip. On a scale of 1 to 10 Harley hits a solid 2 for the product offering this year. Sad.

[@donaldsmith6404]

I just bought the industrial yellow and black but they swapped it all out with the orange bike so mine has the chrome the orange came with. It really sets off the yellow and black that way.

[@mowens-79]

Born at Anderson Memorial.... dad lives in Belton. I just painted my 2003 ultra classic this color.

[@HighwayPatrol17]

That sounds amazing, perfect M8. Details?

[@morrisdennis]

That is gorgeous 😍

[@jasonn2284]

Love the color

[@melvinmcguire3858]

I purchased the atlas Silver in April with chrome trim. Was not told the tins had been swapped from a Baja orange vin. So who ever bought the b/o bike has the Vin originally for my bike Tin swap is ok. But new bikes with swap won't match Vin. Dealers should be up front on this. Since paperwork will be INCORRECT! The good part is I won't run into the exact bike everywhere I go.

[@thomasbartlett3409]

The M8 is best when built from the ground up, balanced and blueprinted with aftermarket parts in a high end shop.

[@dennispoland]

Great review- I have been waiting for this one to hit my dealership and purchased over the weekend. Love love the color and I'm a big fan of chrome; so, it works well for me. I had LED's front / rear installed at the dealership.

[@throttleblip9854]

That's awesome. This color is so good. I hate you guys have to spend money to get the LED's its 2023 and that's a Special model.

[@MTAYLOR3617]

Thanks for creating this video as if I, as the viewer had never seen this bike before you created this video. Keep up the good work brother! I bought a Snake Venom Limited after watching your video on it.

[@flaviohdsgs297]

Do the 2022 CVO come with saddle bag liners ?? Sweet Looking Ride......

[@jasperduncan6633]

As the fairing is handlebar mounted, how do you find the additional weight as compared to one that is frame mounted?

[@bigbob21]

ABSOLUTELY beautiful w/ the black parts! what a shame it's not offered from factory. I'm sure that bike will be sold immediately.

[@throttleblip9854]

I have no doubt!

[@Jak1481]

That looks way better than the chrome love it

[@throttleblip9854]

I agree!!

[@jayteesgear]

I love dark on chrome but agree with you Joshua. Orange looks great on Black.

None of the Matte colors this year? Or are they on the specials?

the lower fork non chrome issue and turn signal non led on the specials makes me shake my head

When I saw the orange with chrome I immediately said to my dealer that it needed to have the black motor and trim.

[@throttleblip9854]

It HAD to be done, right!?

[@kreativescales9048]

Absolutely 💯

[@Elkslaya1]

With no R and D needed for the 23’s, shouldn’t the cost be coming down since there were no changes?

[@keithdriggers9578]

looks like they added saddlebag lock guards, my 21 doesn't have them. l

No heel shifter No LED’s 🤔 $30k I’m sure they’ll sell it to you after market..adding another $500

[@wolfpack8643]

I assume they just swapped out the tins, so what version of the bike did they start with? Vivid black?

[@throttleblip9854]

Yeah I'm pretty sure that's what happened. I say that bc that vin shows baja orange which is weird lol but I still think thats what happed and yes with black as far as I know.

[@andrewkitchenuk]

Once you've seen that front fender with the trim that the Road King has then without it it always looks unfinished. Also like you I'm incensed with the non-led turn signals, absolutely ridiculous when even 5 grand Royal Enfields have them. 😢

I'm a Believer but I only believe in Chrome Harleys setting ... 🤘 ... bye

[@TheMoparmafia1]

I see you guys have done a tin swap as well. We did that at our dealership also.

[@KatDaddy23321]

(?).... In Your Opinion. What Would Be A Good Beginners Bike? With Me Being 6'2 Around 350lbs

[@throttleblip9854]

Honestly at that height and weight you'd probably be fine on a touring bike. You're tall enough to have good leverage and heavy enough to have some weight to control the bike. Also at that weight the heavier frame and suspension will give you the best ride. If you want music and navigation I'd look at Road Glide or Street Glide, if you like the stripped down look and feel look at the Road King.

[@KatDaddy23321]

@@throttleblip9854 Thanks For Responding Back. Appreciate That. I Was Thinking Of Looking Into The Street Glide. Which Has Got My Interest. But With Only Taking The Riders Course. Some Years Back.

Anyone saying Harleys cost too much are just perpetuating ignorance and need to do research on what the other brands actually charge for comparable models.. Honda Goldwing $25,600.. Indian Chieftan $22,449.. Kawasaki Vulcan Vaquero $18,599.. Harley Street Glide $21, 999. As you can see the ONLY model less expensive than the Harley is the Kawasaki.

[@jamesstafford62]

Exactly I get so tired of people whining about Harleys being too expensive !! They are no more expensive today than they were when I started riding one in 1983! Has any of these people priced a new Chevy truck lately?

[@dietmdew845]

you are an idiot comparing those bikes to the bottom rung base model street glide. I just bought a new Street Glide Special 48 hours ago….. $31000.00

[@jayteesgear]

For the most part i agree but the Nightsters and Sporster S WAYYY above expensive! (Not that i would buy one haha)😂

[@harleyed6830]

Street Glide, black = $21,999

[@morrisdennis]

Ur right, they are made very well. Worth it imo.

[@karlanderson1791]

I don't understand the whole blackout thing. If God didn't want stuff to shine he wouldn't have created chrome..

What type of Orange is this?🤔

[@throttleblip9854]

Baja Orange

[@mcscotty325]

This bike must cost a lot. Tin swaps aren't cheap. At least at my dealer.

[@danielbuchanan5327]

Pretty short sighted of them not to offer this color with black trim.

[@Arodon]

I really like the bikes from Harley - I made 202'000 km with my Road King 2002 and now own a 2021 Street Glide CVO. But there are lots of things I can not understand in terms of fit and finish, not only the turn signals not being LED. The missing heel shifter, that cable mess under the frame above the transmission and cables not being covered by shrink tube up to the plug. The hooks for locking the bags - why do they need to be so big? Screws so ugly as were they stolen from a tractor - ever had a look into the fairing of the Lowrider ST? The screws are about 1 cm too long without any need. Make them shorter and cover them with a hat nut and it would look way better. And yet, I like to ride my Harley so much, I would never want to miss it. But I would really appreciate it if Harley would have a little more love for details.

[@barrynapiello8450]

The way it should have been offered ! Harley made a mistake offering it only in Chrome.

[@wolfpack8643]

No, they offer it in this config as well, but ya just have to change all the tins yourself 😉
