- 2022 Road Glide ST and Road Glide Special comparison and shoot out. If you are considering a 2022 Road Glide ST or Road Glide Special then you will want to check out this comparison I recently did with the help of Josh at the ONE and ONLY @GatewayHarley . The 2022 Road Glide ST is an incredible bike set up based upon the performance baggers used in the King of the Baggers race recently won by the Harley Davidson team. The Road Glide ST and Road Glide Special have some similarities but also many differences. With Josh's help, we cover all that is the same as well as the major differences in this shoot out video.
I want to thank the Gateway Harley-Davidson St. Louis team for the kind welcome and assistance in making this video. Gateway Harley-Davidson is my hometown dealership and I highly recommend them for sales, service, parts, motor clothes as well as the Ride Academy.

The 2022 Road Glides are incredible motorcycles. Make sure to watch the entire video so you don't miss out on any of the key elements as Josh and I compare the Road Glide ST and the Road Glide Special. Also please consider subscribing if you haven't already. I appreciate the support and ride safe!👊👍
Why do people seem to keep saying the lean angle is greater on the ST???
By Harleys own website they are both the same......Left and Right, 31 and 32 respectively.
That is a good point. Lean angle is the same but the rear end is certainly higher with the shorter bags on the ST and the 1 inch taller rear shock. Perhaps more bag clearance is a better way to characterize the difference. Thanks for watching and commenting. Much appreciated. Ride safe 👍👊
Awesome interview and video production Rick. Thanks for breaking down the differences between both models because I really get confused with the different HD models and trim levels. (Needless to say that I am not a HD guy 😆) I am truly impressed with the quality of your videos and how far you’ve come since last summer. I am proud of you brother! Eddie
Thanks so much Eddie for watching. Also I very much appreciate the very kind comment. Putting this video together and working with Josh was a lot of fun. Thanks again and ride safe 👊👍
Great questions and answers!!! Love this video! Very informative and on point! I just bought the ST.. I've been riding since I was 18 and I'm 38 now... I have had every motorcycle you can think of from R1 to Ducati to sportsers.. and the Road Glide is by first my joy and pride!!! Such an amazing bike I feel it's like all my motorcycles put together.. power, smoothness, and aggressiveness
Thanks for watching and commenting. The STs are definitely very nice bikes with great power delivery. Enjoy your ST and ride safe. If you are a subscriber thank you. If you haven't yet subscribed I'd be honored if you'd consider doing so. 👊👍
Those are both awesome! Great info and interview!
Thanks RJ for watching and commenting. It was a lot of fun putting this together and working with the dealership. The ST is very cool. I'm looking forward to riding one soon. Rude safe 👊👍🇺🇸
They are all so awesome. Proud of my Harley Davidson. Simply the best. Drop the mic 🎤
Thanks for watching. The STs are awesome bikes. I'm looking forward to a test ride on one of these babies. Ride safe 👊👍
Like I’ve discussed recently, between the Special, ST and CVO it comes down to what the rider’s ‘must haves’ are, and what they’re prepared to pass on.
The value in each one is purely based on the rider’s needs.
Completely agree.👊👍
This was a great interview and amazing audio. I think I would stick with the special over the ST I feel that a few more CC on the engine is not worth giving up all the other options on the special. Cool and thanks for doing this I have been waiting for a new bike but I might have to look at the new Limited CVO? Ride Safe
The Limited CVO is an incredible bike. I believe I will get a peek at one on Friday. Thanks for watching and ride safe 👊👍🇺🇸
Nice work!...great interview!!...thanks for sharing!!...stay safe...ride safe!!😎🤙👍🤙👍🇨🇦
Thanks so much for watching and for the kind comment. I very much appreciate the support. Ride safe 👊👍
Both great bikes Rick, nice job on the interview man 👍💯
Thanks Tom. I appreciate you watching and commenting. It was fun and hope to do more at the dealership in the future. 👊👍🇺🇸
IMO the larger CI engine is worth the extra cost when compared to upping CI on the 114. Beyond that you really get less for more and HD saves money.
Good points. Thanks for watching and commenting. I very much appreciate the support. If you haven't already, I'd appreciate you considering subscribing to the channel. Ride safe. 👊👍
I m about the pick one, I watched this video again and again, I think speacial is more logical with its comfortable seat and suspension with bigger bags, the nice things about ST; 117 and brass rims, thanks for comparison 👏🏻
You bet. Thanks for watching. Either one will be a great bike. In the end you just need to decide what will work best for your riding style etc. Ride safe and enjoy the new bike when you pick one. I also have two more videos where I ride both the special and ST. You may want to check those out as well. 👊👍
I just purchased the RGS as a b-day & anniversary present for my wife. She liked the ST but dealership sold their last one so we went with the Special & purchased the 131 stage 4. I have it on my RKS. She's excited. I've bought 2 bikes from Gateway. Matt's awesome. Unfortunately we live out west now or would've bought this one from him as well. Great video! I just subscribed.
Congrats on the new bike. I'm sure the 131 will be a beast. The folks @gateway are great to work with. Also thank you for subscribing to the channel. I appreciate the support. Ride safe and enjoy the new bike. 👍👊
I like those brown wheels and chopped fender on the ST!
Nice comparison video! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Bob fior watching and commenting. The accents on the STs are very nice. Ride safe 👊👍🇺🇸
I actually prefer the street glide over the road glide. I like the idea of the ST but I think I'd go with the special for the two up and extra storage. Great video!
Thanks for watching. At the end of the day both bikes are great, it just depends on what your primary riding style will be typically. Ride safe 👊👍
great info video ..thank you
Thanks for watching and commenting. If you enjoy the content I'd appreciate it if you'd consider subscribing to the channel if you haven't already. Ride safe 👊👍
I subscribed! I bought an Roadglide st on February! It’s a great bike! Love it!
Congrats. The 117 engine is fantastic. Thanks for subscribing to the channel. I appreciate the support. Ride safe and keep enjoying that ST. 👍👊🇺🇸
I have the special. I never been able to drag the bags. The ST has the shorter bags is because the most of the performance oriented people want to go with an 2 into 1 exhaust which doesn’t look good with the stretched bags unless you run a 2nd ghost pipe. The shorter bags looks far better with 2 into 1 exhaust and does provide more clearance because they suspension is also slighter taller
Thanks for watching and commenting. Your points are very valid. If you are already a subscriber...thank you. If you haven't yet subscribed to the channel I'd be honored if you'd consider doing so. Thanks for your support and ride safe. 👊✌️👍

Yes....lol
If chrome for your bike is your vice. It could be your "Gateway" drug!
(See what I did there?)
Very informative Greg thanks for the video. I HATE that I missed your premier. I was in my driveway overseeing a small construction project.
(HORRIBLE excuse..I was 25 feet from my TV.. yet so far..)
My name is Rick not Greg... lol. Thanks for watching Eric. 👊👍🇺🇸
@@HDVIBE swipe got me!!! I see your name all the time on Facebook.
I blame swipe. ..
Nice review thx.

Hello! Great idea to compare both RG’s. Great video! New subscriber!
Thanks so much for subscribing and commenting. It was a fun video to put together with great support from the @gatewayharley team. I appreciate the support. Ride safe 👊👍🇺🇸
Great vid Rick!
I think that it all comes down to riding style. If you’re into big lean angles, you’re not looking for several paint options, and you want the largest engine stock engine displacement then the ST is the way to go.
Having said that, a 114 engine has plenty of power, and the ‘Special’ has plenty to offer.
I agree with your comments Roger. Both are great options with those differences that will suit the different riding styles. Thanks for watching and commenting. Much appreciated. Ride safe 👊👍
I’m jealous!
I’d take either of them over mine lol 😂
Nice review and interview!
Thanks for watching and commenting Greg. Both bikes are awesome. I can't wait to get them out on the road for a test ride. Ride safe 👍👊🇺🇸
@@HDVIBE I just hope I’m able to ride again. Have some serious health issues right now. Also having problems getting a doctor that understands me 👍🤙❤️💯

Great job 👏
Thanks so much. I appreciate the watch and your comment. Thanks for the support. Ride safe 👊👍
you had me till the power plant description, can you please explain the difference between a 114 and 117 motor more indepth. This question comes from a guy who's owned both and rides a 131
Well I'm not sure there is too much to say if you have a 131. On the ST for the price you get the same motor as a CVO for an MSRP significantly less. The 114 is a very nice engine as well obviously less powerful than the 117. I would refer you to the Harley-Davidson website for specific outputs etc...Thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate the support. Ride safe and enjoy your 131.👍👊

This should be a good video
Thanks brother. This was a fun one to put together. Ride safe 👍👊🇺🇸
Great interview Rick!! 👍👍 Good HD Vibes!! 💪💪
Thanks Tommy. I appreciate you watching and commenting. This was a fun video to put together and great help from the Gateway Harley team. Ride safe 👊👍🇺🇸
@@HDVIBE Now lets go TEST RIDE!! 😀
That's hopefully next and soon. 👊👍
@@HDVIBE 🙏🙏
I really enjoyed this video. Cool you teamed up with local dealership as this is always great idea. I bet this 117” rips
Thanks so much for watching and commenting Art. I'm hoping to do more with the dealership and to give the 117 ST a test ride soon. Snow is moving in to St Louis tonight unfortunately. Ride safe 👍👊
@@HDVIBE yes it is the snow that just got here in Chicago looks like next month we should be in 50’s I cant wait
👊
I have the reminder set & all but, I'm planning 2b on the road then. IF I miss the premier, well, I'll catch it when I get back👍💯
No worries. I appreciate it. Safe travels.👊👍🇺🇸
@@HDVIBE thanks man👍

Nicely done! 💯🤙
Thanks so much brother. I appreciate you watching and commenting. Ride safe 👊👍🇺🇸
@@HDVIBE 🤙
👊
I'll take either 😉
Both are great bikes. At the end of the day, the choice comes down to personal preference. Thanks for watching. Ride safe 👊👍
This was great to highlight the differences between the two. I’d probably opt cheaper route and customize how I want it though
Thanks for watching. I appreciate it. Either bike is awesome. Just depends on your style of riding for the most part. Ride safe 👊👍🇺🇸
Josh knows his stuff!!
He does and we had a lot of fun putting this together. I wish I could put an out take video together from this one. We were cracking up several times.
@@HDVIBE when I go to my local bike shop they know me so well that my video is pretty much one giant outtake with no serious content haha.
Eric thanks man I try! Rick makes me look cool and knowledgeable!
Thanks buddy for helping out with the video. It was a lot of fun and I look forward to doing more in the future.

I have a new ST. It's more sport than touring. They are asking 7 grand over list. I thought it was worth it. No regrets.
Thanks for watching and commenting. The 117 is an awesome engine. Enjoy it. If you have already subscribed thank you. If you haven't yet I'd be honored if you'd consider doing so. Ride safe. 👊👍
ST vs. CVO more likely for comparison since they both have the 117 with performamce cams from the factory. If you're not gonna spend anymore on accessories them CVO, but if you like riding solo and add or change most accessories then ST. IMO the ST feels better, more of a sporty feel and finally able to spend more on a higher RPM. The new ST M8 is amazing. Well tuned and worth it.
Thanks for watching and for your perspective on the topic. You make some great points. If you are a subscriber already...thank you. If you haven't yet subscribed to the channel I'd be honored if you'd consider doing so. Thanks for the support and ride safe. 👊👍✌️
I'm glad I watched this video. Because of the 117, I really prefer the RG ST; but I couldn't wrap my head around spending that kind of coin and not being able to put my wife or my granddaughter on back of my bike. I'm not well off enough to have such a selfish, expensive toy. If it's true that I can put a passenger pillion on the ST, my search for my next bike is over.
Yes you can put a two up seat on the ST with no problem. It's a very nice bike and my test ride of the ST was very good. The 117 really pulls. If you haven't subscribed to the channel I'd appreciate you considering doing so. Also check out my test ride videos of both the ST and the Special. Ride safe 👊👍
Its no different for touring than your standard SG. I put a 2up seat and passenger floor boards on my ST. Also bought a chopped tour pack for trips. It's great to swap back to a solo seat, take off the tour pack, and zip around with it. I like the shorter bags, chopped front fender, and sportier look. I traded in my 2014 SGS for this bike- night and day difference.
Thanks for your input. The 117 is a game changer. 👊✌️👍
I think at paying 27,000 for a Special the extra 2500 for a ST is well worth it if your going the Performance bagger way....Than getting a Special and puting a SE Cams and exhaust and tune and changing out the rear shocks to 13in...you eould be paying alot more than 2500...
Whoops...27500
I agree. The bigger 117 engine is nice. Thanks for watching and commenting. Ride safe 👊👍🇺🇸
@@HDVIBE To be honest i dont think the ST's are over priced but the Specials are...They are 5k more than the Standard's are
Bottle up that energy and send me some !
Lol...I had a lot of fun putting that video together and great support from @gatewayharley-davidson team. Thanks for watching. 👍👊
NEED ME AN ST LOL OOH BABY!
Thanks for watching and commenting. Ride safe and enjoy the ride. 👍👊
Looking for road glide ❤️
Thanks for watching ✌️👍👊
I subscribe
Thank you for your support. I appreciate it. Ride safe 👊👍
Wow , what a deal , The ST , Less bike for more money .
Thanks for watching. I appreciate your support . Ride safe. 👊👍🇺🇸
Wish they could have made road glide st in red instead of just two colors
Yes, more color options would have been nice. I appreciate the comment and your support. Thanks for watching and ride safe. 👊👍
Sorry guys, but there really is no performance difference between the 2 models, except approximately 9 lbs of torque. Lean angles are identical at 32/31 degrees.
Thanks for your comment. I'm looking forward to giving both a test ride soon to get a first hand ride perspective on both bikes. Thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate the input and support. Ride safe 👍👊🇺🇸
In my opinion you get less for the ST. Especially when i doubt the average rider can push a special to its limits. Not to mention a intake exhaust cam and tune on the special makes more power...
Great points. There are definitely pros and cons to both bikes. At the end of the day the buyer needs to decide what bike works better for their riding style and needs. Thanks for watching. I appreciate your support. Ride safe. 👊👍
I love Road Glides but I hate the rear fender of the ST
I agree with you on the rear fender on the ST. Thanks for watching and ride safe. 👊👍
IMO your review should be more objective. When you describe the ST you pan to the ST. When you describe the Special you don't pan to the Special. A contrast between models would be more influential. A beast LMBO!
Thanks for your input and thoughts on the video. Stay tuned I have 2 on Ride reviews of both models coming out. The first is tomorrow and a second will be a week from tomorrow. I appreciate the support. If you haven't subscribed yet, I'd appreciate you considering doing so. Thanks and ride safe. 👊👍
117! Crazy..
Yes...big motor and you don't have to pay CVO prices.
@@HDVIBE yeah I totally get it. I like that.
114 to 117. Wow man
👊👍
🛎🛎🛎🛎
Base price of $30K (more than many cars out there!) and Harley still gives you incandescent turn signals...SMFH! And they wonder why the younger crowd chooses other brands?! 🙄
Thanks for watching Bill. I appreciate your input. It is a head scratcher that the models below a CVO still have incandescent turn signal bulbs. That is one of the first things I changed out on my bikes...even on the CVO. Ride safe and enjoy. ✌️👊👍
And you're standing by the freedom bell!!
Know what's fun? Go into a dealership and ring the bell then sing, "Ding dong the witch is dead.."
What I never understood: Why did the witch's parents name her Ding Dong?
I did not ring the bell...only get to do that if you make the purchase...👊👍🇺🇸
@@HDVIBE I'm horrible at following rules like that. Ha ha
@@ericsuperhawk I can't even imagine that Eric.
Street Glides rule though 👍👍😜
I am also partial to Street Glides as my 2015 Street Glide Special is my first ever Harley. 👊👍🇺🇸
I get a kick out of Harley taking away features calling it a sport so you paying for the stuff you wish were on your bike!
Yes that is true. The only real upgrade on the ST is the 117 engine. Thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate the support to the channel. If you are a subscriber thank you. If not I'd be honored if you'd consider doing so. Ride safe and enjoy the ride. 👍👊
A 114 vs 117. Tell me 3 additional inches doesn't matter. I dare you.
The 3 additional cubic certainly make a difference. If you are already a subscriber...thank you. If you haven't yet subscribed to the channel I'd be honored if you'd consider doing so. Thanks for the support and ride safe. 👊👍✌️
@HDVIBE How about the 117 with a cam? Equal to a 114+cam or still superior?
If you put a cam in the 117. It will be gain performance and certainly be superior to the 114. There are several ways to get more power out of a stock Milwaukee 8 motor no matter if it's a 107, 114 or 117...it's just a matter of how much you want to spend. 👊✌️👍
So a Ninja has passenger pegs and THAT bike doesn't.. interesting..
Correct. I guess performance baggers don't need rear pegs????
and this solo great seat look like it's damaged out of factory 🙄🤣🤣
Thanks for watching. 👊👍
Only idiots pay for an st. Same bike as a special.
Thanks for watching and commenting. Ride safe and enjoy the ride. 👍👊
Scott, your the idiot if you think that.
@@allanbieger7523 other than a 117 instaed of a 114, its the same fcking bike you tool.
