Great review,I love the simplicity of Harley-Davidsons.Ifeel when I take one out on a ride it will connect with me, demo day's are coming up in my area and I will definitely try both the STREET and ROAD GLIDES to prove my point that a Harley connects a lot with the rider.Keep up the great work!

I like how the intro section of the video is more involved and exciting. Good job on that. Imho it could be about 2 seconds shorter though. It seems to drag on at the end. Ok. A solid review of the SGS Matt. And a clear game plan. You stated what you were going to include in your video. And you did that admirably. Your video was fun to watch. And you really knocked it out of the park with this latest video. Much improved. You got this Matt. 😎

Hello, sorry I wanted to ask you but the steering of this Street is true that driving it becomes heavy, hard, and to drive it is better the Road Glide? Since I would like to buy it I like it so much preferring the engine 107, but a friend of mine told me that the same engine gave problems. Thank you for your ✌🏻 availability

Hey Matt I love your reviews. In my opinion they are the most informative on you tube. I was wondering if you could answer a question. I just bought a 2017 SGS and noticed once in a while when I go over a bump in the road the front end feels kind of loose. I notice it on slower speeds. This is the only Street Glide I have ever rode as I am coming off a sport bike so don't know if this is normal.

Hey Matt love the videos. I just bought a 2017 street glide and it is my first Harley ever. I hear a fair amount of valvetrain noise under load that increases as rpms increase. Would you say this is normal?....
@MattLaidlaw
@MattLaidlaw 7 жыл бұрын
To a certain extent - yes. Generally speaking HD's have considerably more engine mechanical noise than other makes. They did, however, reduce this with the new Milwaukee 8. If you're at all concerned have a dealer take a look at it while it's still under warranty. It's probably fine though.

Hey Matt, I have a super dumb question I'm sure. I've ridden and owned plenty of bikes, none with a front fairing like the batwing. I'm looking to rent a SG for a 3 day trip coming up. If you had to guess, would someone who is 5'9" be able to see over the fairing relatively easily? Is this even an issue? I want to just sit on one to see but haven't had the chance yet. Thanks.

y does the 2017 street glide front forks look like it's almost a straight down 90degrees angle where the front tire looks like it's almost in the engine or it must be in your GoPro I don't know but I always wanted to Streetlight I'm on the Street Glide Special but I want it in that beautiful gunmetal Grey not the black but anyway it's beautiful it's gorgeous and I knew when I seen that 107 Waukee I really would like that 114 Milwaukee and see what that does because you can even here but ever so slightly the difference in the rumble of the motor even though it's not with the 1:07 on it anyway it's gorgeous and I love it I always will but I can't afford it so I'm really fighting over right now and the Breakout and the V-Rod Muscle or Night Rod muscle.... Basically I love the 240 rear tire and the bigger engine obviously and the oil cooling system anyway thanks for putting out a very great video on the street like I love him I love the new Milwaukee 8 and I can't wait to get on one and take it home!.... Thanks again

Jason Lurf yes, the Milwaukee 8 still has the traditional Harley-Davidson sound. A lot of after market exhaust companies are either just releasing or working on designing new exhaust systems that will fit the new engine. These systems will retain that classic Harley Davidson sound

Can you start this Bike (2014 Street Glide Special) in first gear ? or do You have to put the bike in neutral before it starts?

Then I put the bike in neutral and it started. Thanks !

Phillip Ellington It's possible to start it in first with the clutch pulled in. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS. It's a lot harder on your starter motor. If the flashers were going off then that is a security fob issue.

vindzl07 It's a heavy cruiser that has a taller seat height. A big heavy bike isn't good for beginner riders. Plus if you drop it (which all beginners do) you'll be out thousands of dollars due to the damage. Plus good luck picking up the bike if your not really strong. Just not a beginner motorcycle.

I noticed you said other brands copy HD on some things, I never hear HD people say when HD copys others ? the 4 valve single cam and counter ballanced motor was brought out in 1999 buy Yamaha and it was the bullet proff Roadstar 1602 cc and also now on the Roadliner and Stratoliner 1900 cc motors and they are all of that you say this M8 is and yes HD knew those motors

So, Harley had a 4 valve head before any of those companies even existed.

no not a 4 valve counter ballanced single cam FI motor, no way and you know as well as I do they watch the others to see whats working and not to mention no heating problems from the Yamahas, no need for watered heads and you know I'm right dude

Right about what? Yes, everyone takes notice of each other. Yamaha Vstars try so desperately to copy the look sound and feel of a Harley. Is the 4 valve head a new innovation of course not. Fuel injection is nothing new. Single cam is nothing new, counter balancer are nothing new. It's the combination and design of different configurations that make something new, the quality and how all the moving parts interact with each other. There are so many things that make the Harley engine unique to anything else. Single connecting rod pin, 45 degree angle, off set firing, etc.

The Dynas didn't really change from 2016 -2017. My guess is that the Milwaukee 8 will migrate over to all the big twin bikes in time. I don't know exactly when that will be though

the 2016 breakout & the vrod muscle, now the breakout is basically More biased off the muscle Right!.. the only thing different on booth Harley Davidson motorcycles is just THE breakouts More for passengers friendly. and the vrod muscle is more basically for having fun And though they have the same motor and rear wheel the 240 rear wheels and Booth just the front end of the breakout is different from the muscle but They are basically the same for the 2016 not the newest models!!..

The breakout is a big twin, air cooled, 103 CI engine. The Vrod muscle is completely different. It's the 1250 cc water cooled 4 valve, overhead cam etc
