Very nice!!! The new 117 on ST is insane. It comes with performance cams from the factory. It moves different and you can actually stay on higher rpm now.
It does have hill assist. Just squeeze the brake lever, you’ll feel a slight vibe and a light comes on the dash, then you can freely use the throttle to pull away. I use mine all the time. Had my SG ST since July - love it. Nice vid Miles, thank you.
Lol love it! I just bought one yesterday and I was saying “wow” too! The first time I test rode it, it tried to throw me off the back when shifting to second. I was not expecting that! It is fast and very snappy on the throttle!
Old AF rider, since 1975. Sportbike guy since 1990, up until two years ago, club raced Ducati's. Stopped riding then to start a business. Fast forward, four months ago, my much better half surprised me with this bike. In all my years, and in all of my miles, I have NEVER EVER, loved a bike or any mechanical device as much as I love this bike. 😂 It's a perfect bike for sportbike guys. I get more joy between 30 and 70 mph, than I was ever able to chase down with a knee on the ground and hanging onto the throttle for dear life. And up in the mountain twisties... Specifically Suches, and Blood Mountain GA, where I ride... Your HD buddies are not going to be anywhere near your exhaust notes, it won't even be close. And BTW, I have the Tab Performance on mine. 4.5 Zombie Sticks. I put them on after I got a few miles on it (2k'ish) so that I could get to know it as it came to me. The Tab sticks absolutely add a little bit of spank and audible crack off the start. And it makes throttle response a little less "crisp", yet more pull. That's as good as I can describe at the moment. I now want the RG ST to mate with this one. Do not hesitate if you're a sportbike guy looking to make a leap. You will love this MORE
It's crazy I never liked the road glide until I started watching BLOCKBALLIN KS & the other channels I'm on a street bob, always thought I would go street glide no question, hated the look of the roadglide I think maybe it's because less people have them so it has a more custom feel
OK Miles, I have a 2020 Fat Bob and looking to go longer with storage. I am considering the Street Glide, Road Glide or a Road King, I am 6'1. Based on your opinion what bike would you recommend. based on your test rides. I am planning on testing riding all three.
Who putts around on a 117ci v twin in low gear screaming 4k rpm lol I was like shiiiiiiift haha Revving a 117 at normal driving speeds like it’s a sportster lol Slipping the clutch every shift the one time you get past 2nd gear 😂😂😂😂 you’re definitely a salesman lol

Nice, i traded my zx 6r and bought a 2022 softail standard as my first harley, thinking of trading it in and getting a road glide
Love the video. Hope to see a future video on the road glide and the differences and preferences for one over the other.
Duly noted! Thanks for the feedback 🙏🏼
Thats a nice bike and love that color too
Great video. Love my ST....
Great power and just FUN to ride for me..
Good enthusiasm Miles. One request, don't say I'm not a bagger boy over and over!
"man this thing is loud" just rolling along at 40, and 4000rpm. it does have more gears
I just picked one up at Bulldog Harley in Smithfield NC. It’s a beast
Congratulations!
I bought the same bike yesterday 👏👍

Just bought one today.

Come on Miles. Put more miles on it.
Not the same engine. They have different balancers. Different inner primary’s. And I think the case is different because of the mounting points.
💯👍
Hey Miles, shoehorn a 131 motor in into that bike and then come back and tell us about it
I have a 2020 Softtail and a 2021 tourer with same engine. RPM at same speeds are never the same between the two bikes.

☠️🥴
i own one the seat sucks first thing i threw away
What kind of seat did you end up buying?
I'd take the road glide ST... be nice instead of riding my 2016 FXDLS on trips. Time for comfort
