Just bought my 2020 Street Glide Special last week and couldn't be happier. It's my third HD and it's perfect for cruising by myself or going on long rides throughout the country side with my wife. The adjustable rear shock works superb when increasing tension for passengers and you don't have to worry about bottoming out. Ride safe!
Great review ! Nice to see a dealer take the time and effort to explain in detail the features and benefits of each bike.
Now that’s what I want to see, beautiful footage of the streetglide profile from an out side view as apposed to the behind the dash boring 30 minute ride. Thank you!!! The bike is beautiful and you presented it perfectly. Great job!
Man the fit and finish on the Specials is beautiful and fits my taste. I still went with an Chieftain though after test riding the hell outta both. The suspension, weight distribution, and stock features on the Indian did it for me. My point is ride/buy what works for you. Each offers different features, finish, and feel. My wife rides an Iron 883 and is in love. I’ve got love for Harley and Indian! Ride safe
Thank you for breaking it all down. Much better than the dealership that I go.
Conversational content, no one is better at it. Keep it up, Matt!
Thank you Mr. Laidlaw, for this comparison! Been looking into getting one of these, but really wanted the breakdown on the three. Didn't mind the length of the video, gave me all the info I needed to make an informed decision. Again, thank you, and keep up the great work!
he has 2000 words in mono tone, and has not said nothing yet
????
That CVO is literally perfect.
I like these comparison videos.
Matt you are just the BEST! The quality of your videos are outstanding. Thank you for the good work, ride save brother😎
thanks for the video matt I went with the standard street glide but before I pick it up doing a stage 2 kit upgraded radio & speakers and Rinehart 4.5 slip on mufflers
thank for explaining about RDRS given the weight and power of this bike and amenities RDRS offers
Matt, could you do a video on what you look at when you take bikes in on trade, and talk about what adds value and what kills value. (Besides the the obvious miles and condition) Like what accessories are good to add and what deduct from value. Thanks
That’s a good idea. I’ll try to do that. Thanks for the suggestion.
I love my 2019 Electra Glide Standard, if Harley-Davidson didn’t come out with this model, I wouldn’t have been able to afford my dream of owning a bagger. Plus now I can customize it to my taste. Mahaloz 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
I own 19 electra glide standard and I absolutely love it
Thanks for another informative comparison video 👍🏻
I've learned more about HD from you, than anywhere else. These videos are the absolute best on so many levels. Thank you. I am not a Harley owner, but you give me all I need to be an informed shopper/buyer when the time comes. Until then, I just enjoy the vids.
Awesome video. Love the commentary on the bikes. Enjoyed this one.
Great video Matt!
always happy with your new videos - although i know quite a lot of flhx, i am always happy to see what you say. very appreciated. i value you try to be honest, that is quite rare. good job matt and your team. do not stop! best wishes, peter
Thanks for the comment. I’m glad I can help out. Thanks for watching.
Best Harley-Davidson dealer in California I drove 2 hrs to get there and customer service is just awesome thanks David Lund and also Matt and nick
I have 2017 street glide special 107 stage one ,done 32000 miles on it,love it love it.like you love the blacked out look.
Very nice bikes to tour on if I was to spend aa few months cruising around. Love a single seat with a backrest top box setup.
I just can’t figure out why Harley doesn’t make a little “glove box” on the left side of the infotainment screen?It is just wasted space.
I'm not sure whats directly behind there. I'll have to find out and see why they don't use it for more storage.
@@MattLaidlaw WIM, CB, Radio Accessories go on that side. I'm guessing thats why they don't make it a commonly accessible spot.
@@oceanstatehd and thats why I'm leaning more towards the RGS.
Always great videos Matt.
Thanks for doing this vid. Helped narrow down my decision.
Huge fan Matt! Because of you, I am planning to ride my '19 FLHSE to CA this year. As a kid my Pops and I would visit Glendale Harley almost weekly for an 'only if' kind of visit. Watching a video of yours where you started out in Glendale Harley, really hit home with me...thank you! I left LA in '83 for the Military and never really looked back. Well, 20 years of active duty service and I wound up making TX my home with no plans to ever go back to Cali. My second stop is going to be Laidlaw Harley for some gear and pictures! Aaron
I guess a CVO is what is I need. After looking at this video. Now to try a convince the wife.
Good luck. 👍🏻
...and Godspeed
After what I've been through this year with the wife, the dogs, and getting this house, I WILL be getting my Harley-Davidson. I've already made her aware. Now is the difficult part. Choosing which one. SG Standard Midnight Blue, RGS Billiard Blue or Zephyr Blue, or FXLRS/FXBB.
save your money, you can drive a honda civic at $23,999
@Countrywild56 thats good to know. I really love the midnight blue on the Standard. And Matt Laidlaw gets them with the nav/upgraded sound system. I just wanna add Factory 47 bars and LED signals, and RDRS.
Perfect timing, I’ve just sent a link to this video
This week my mate has been trying to choose which Street Glide to buy & tomorrow morning we are going to Fraser HD in Sydney to look & ride them
Your video helped him make the decision to buy a CVO which he just picked up
Matt, love your videos and your down to earth commentary!
Thank you! I appreciate your comment. Thanks for watching
Best Harley vlog. Hands down. Best Harley dealership. Hands down.
Patrick O'Donovan 100%
Great video thank you!!
Matt your videos are the standard! I always show them to others when they have questions. Great review.
I never regret spending the money for what I want from factory. It is cheaper than adding later.
Hope to road trip to see you all.
But don't you think you would pay premium for those accessories, also sometimes aftermarket are way better.
@@squirtmph
I was referring to items like ABS brakes. Items referred to in video.
When I put LED lights on my HD RKS. That was Ciro3D. In my opinion the best for the price.
Something are better after market.
@@razzrasmussen5773 I must have miss lead, I still think you pay premium for the most part, accessories wise.
I’m still loving my 18 gunship Cvo. I should say in love. ;).
OVERBOARD DM, no wonder is an absolute dream machine. i think one of the most beautiful color ever. enjoy and ride save👍🏻
Very good video, guys !! Thx a lot
Can't go wrong with any of them. Depends on what features you want. You made some good points about resale value. Have a 2017 SGS with Stage 2 and love that 107 M8 engine!
Matt I am from New Zealand and you do the best coverage of all the modals, I think your comments about the haters are right on the nose. I currently own a 2013 Fatboy lo and would like a CVO Street Glide, your videos are great help and its a pity other dealers don't do what you do cause they all go to the new release shows of the new modals etc. I do travel a lot to your great country and will drop in and say "G'day Mate", and maybe purchase a second hand bike from you, which I could ship down under. Any way all the best great videos.
Love my ‘15 Street Glide Special...built up just how I want it! The 103, IMHO, is a good motor and I’m probably going to put a cam upgrade into it...too much money into it now to just trade it in! Great info in this video! 👍
Just bought the special. Got the grey denim. I absolutely love the bike. Thought about the road glide, but in all honesty, I'm glade I went with the street glide.
I had forgotten all about the Pan America until Andrew mentioned saving up for one. I love my '19 Street Glide Special but that bike has me very curious.
I have the 2019 Street Glide Special! Absolutely love it a phenomenal bike!
Supa Troopa agree, same!
I bought a Standard and love it. bought an aftermarket media center put a two up seat and aftermarket stage 2 kit for the price of the base street glide.
Great review of these four models Matt. You are absolutely correct about trade in value of accessories added on after purchase. 10% is spot on.
Not too long. I love what you did here. If i lived there I'd buy a bike form you, but I'm in Louisiana. I'm definitely thinking about trading my 16 standard in for a 21 special after watching this
One thing I will say is investing in a set of legend shocks make a true night and day experience it literally feels like a cloud feeling down the road even with the stock seat. If I bought a new bike I’d do the suspension before I do exhaust cause it was truely that big of a difference
Great video would love to have that CVO. Ride safe bro
good review matt...there's also an element not mentioned why people buy harley's...it has nothing to do with cost, options, style, etc. and they will spend whatever to ride a harley...another great review...much thanks.
Noice 👍 would love me a Special one day
I just bought a Standard. My Cross Bones (still have it too) is all blacked out. I didn't want the all black again. I wanted the upgraded radio and ABS though, that was a must for me. The 107 was a huge upgrade from the 96 I've been riding for the past 9 years. You can't go wrong with any of these bikes and I appreciate your time in creating these videos.
Love watching your videos. Very detailed. Im still stuck on what i want to get. I have a 750cc and need something much larger to travel long distances. Im stuck between a road king, street glide and road glide. Not sure how comfortable I'll feel with a fairing...
Don't count out the Softails.
A softail with a Saddlemen seat, and bags would be a great ride. Add a windshield into the mix and you got yourself a bike that can convert from cruiser to touring bike in a few swaps.
@@FranBunnyFFXII I have considered the Deluxe or Heritage. I like those as well
Great job and beautiful bikes !
I’m looking to add 10” ape hanger bars to my 2014 street glide special. Do I need new cables?
... like usually.... great review.... thx a lot.... good job.
The new wheels are beautiful !
I’m typically not into touring bikes ; but damn the SGS is quite nice . Sat on a washed white pearl model at local dealership today :)
Dang it was purdy
I have the 2017 RGS and I can definitely say that it’s very expensive blacking it out! Should have traded in for the blacked out version. I have so much invested in making it mine I will be riding it for a while. But then again I do still love MY bike so that’s what really matters I guess.
I think the CVO should come with a stage 3 from the factory for that price.
Your the man Matt I always enjoy watching all your video clips you explain everything to it's fullest detail with every bike you talk about I'm from New Zealand if I ever come over to the states i will definitely come and meet you👍👍
Thank you. Yes, stop by if you’re ever in California.
I’m partial to Road Glides, but as is where is.....perhaps one of each!
Awesome vid, very thorough Matt. Already own a 2020 LRS and I think this year or next I'm trading in my 1250 BMW GSA for a CVO Street Glide, I just can't stop looking at them!
people don't want a batwing fairing because they like it. They like all the stuff it contains, like stereo and NAV and what not. It's why I rented a Chieftain for a trip back in September and renting a streetglide for a trip coming up next month. So making it cheaper but without any of the features and benefits of a streetglide isn't going to produce sales. If I wanted none of that stuff, I'd buy a road king
👍 Proud owner of a 2019 FLHXS 😀
You wanna buy a watch?
Does the red low rockerbox cover come only for the 117 or are they available for 114 ?
Powercoating is not an option ...
Matt do you have any idea when the Pam Am be in the dealerships
Another great video Matt (and team ). I have a 16 SGS in denim grey and love it, awesome bike for touring over here in Australia. Would love a CVO one day but at $ 53K (AUD ) I'm not sure I'll get there. I put custom dynamics led's front and rear and just about to order Paul Yaffe bars which should make a big difference. I'm 6ft 2inchs any thoughts on 10 or 12 inch rise ? The 12's will take the grips above the fairing so I'm tending to think go 10's ?
Ride safe from Oz ✌️✌️
Great video comparison. The CVO is expensive but really nice. Definitely very premium.
I love the solo look of the Electra Glide, but I'm curious as to how comfortable it would be. I currently ride a 2012 Deluxe, very cushy.
The solo seat on the EGS is very comfortable
Anyone know what gloves Matt wears?
🤘⚡️🤘 the wheels on the 20 are nice!
I wander if it's possible to have a Freewheeler with a glide model front (the steering) so can have radio and GPS while riding a custom FreeWheeler
Best video yet. I'm a crome guy. Seems strange a blacked out bike is more. Guess I'm old school. Thought harleys were about crome. Thanks for the comparison. Electra glide actually looks great to me. Wish it came in other colors.
Question Matt..... comparing the two suspensions for the Street Glide standard and the Electra Glide standard. Is one better than the other or the same ??? If one is better which one ??? TY
Great video Matt but I have a question of the CVO i see the horn cover is black with a red HD symbol is that exclusive to the CVO line.
Traded my 2014 Street Glide Special in on a 2019 Street Glide. I cant do a blacked out bike. I dig the chrome that is associated with a Harley. Guess I'm just Old School. I really love the Milwaukee 8 engine very smooth.
You should check out the 2020 Harley-Davidson *_FurrowGlide_*

Idiot.
Can you give a date when will California be licensed to sell the 131 motor on the 2020 street glide ?
If you do aftermarket modifications like longer shocks, does it affect the warranty?
Hey Matt, another great video as always, here are a couple of interesting facts. The SGS is Harley’s best selling bike to four different groups as of 2018; young riders as you mentioned, women, blacks and Latinos; all important markets for future growth. Needless to say, this is a very important bike in Harley’s lineup, will be interesting to see if there is a shift to the RG/RGS nationally like you’re seeing at your dealership.
Another interesting fact is that while sales are down, as you have pointed out in other videos, industry wide, not just Harley: Harley has seen a big increase in the used Harley market, which they hope will turn into future new sales.
All this does is prove that the Mo Co is far more informed than the haters think or our willing to admit and the changes they make are based on the vast majority and not the few that will complain no matter what changes they make.
Thanks, and keep including Andrew and Nick.
Great points. Thank you for the comment.
Why did they remove the lower speakers in 2020 model??
All 3 motorcycles are really nice When each bike again something Then I guess you lose something Thank you for the video Great information take care
Great video, as usual! Can you please tell me about the handheld camera y'all are using? Thanks!
I think I shot this video on a cannon eos 80D on a weebill S
@@MattLaidlaw thanks a bunch, Matt! Keep those videos coming! I also really liked the one about the Livewire with Robert Patrick!
@@MattLaidlaw my bad, man. I was talking about the little camera you and Andrew were using on the ride. The one that has a lanyard for your wrist. Sorry to be a bother.
Very good review Matt. Like the detail, comparisons and the question review was very helpful. Thank you.
my 107 with stage 1,program,exhaust,air filter,is in the same power with 114 stock.
Hey Matt...will there be any changes / upgrades on the 2021 Street Glide Special ?
I would assume the kick stand and latches aren't blacked out on the special due to the "heavy traffic" for lack of a better term. The black would wear faster when you're touching/kicking the parts a lot.
Thanks for this one . What do think is the best over all upgrade for a Special ?
Exhaust or bars.
Standard and CVO have the same rear suspension?
Damn that Street Glide Special is nice.
What color or does it matter.
what is your opinion on stage 4 upgrade to the 114 up to the new 131? Is it practical to do for both touring and fun or is the 114 good enough and money better spent on other things?
Why does the SG special have more lean angle even though the Standard has a taller rear shock with 5.3 inches of ground clearance compared to the 4.9 on the special?
Hey Matt, is it possible to retrofit the new 6.3 GTS into any Rushmore touring(save the road Glide obviously) bike 14 and later?
Hey Matt can I get the zeper blue In the road glide standard. I'm not into the black out look of the special. Plus I really dont care for none of the color options for the standard.
7 HD and street glide is my favourite
7? Dang.
Thanks for the run down Matt. One thing I like about the Street and EG standard is the actually the regular bags. I'm going with one of the touring standards next bike and want to run a two into one pipe which I think would look silly with the stretched bags given the cutouts for dual mufflers. Throw on a choppy cam with the two into one and my guess is the 107 will produce similar power to a 114. I'd go all in with one of the ST models but they're just outta my budget.
Nice video! Can a customer purchase a road glide special CVO in vivid black??
I actually like the electra glide and glad they released it. For 2020 does abs just come with the bike as opposed to being optional on the 2019?
All the touring bikes come with ABS standard except the the Electra Glide Standard.
When will you guys be starting your riding classes?
Great informative video Matt, thanks. Have a 2019 FLHC and love it but I'm doing a lot more highway riding on weekends with my 13yo son on the back and the wind (even with aftermarket windscreens and deflectors is not cutting it. Add to that the buffeting and it's fatiguing. Thinking of just biting the bullet and moving up to a SG or RG. Now the choice is SG vs. RG and Standard vs. Special. With the Special for 2021 you get the Daymaker, low profile air cleaner, and save $$ with the chrome. If I went with the Standard, I'd definitely add the headlight/air cleaner/radio upgrades.
Matt, you have the SG and you're a lot taller than me. I have the Shoei RF1200 and some guys on the HD forums confirm it's prone to more buffeting. Do you have a recommendation for a full-face or modular? Thanks!
Why didn't Harley Davidson put the 114 cu motor into the electraglide standard? Or at least make it an option?
the same answer for any of your questions is they want you to spend more money to get it. Who wants to give you a powerful base model? (that answer is, in fact, Indian)
Do you have a road glide model comparison video?
Just a heads up the standard first came out in 1997 12,500
I wish I had saw this video last year. I wouldn't have bought a softail then. Matt was 100% correct about interstate and highway riding on a softail it can beat the hell out of you. That's one reason why I had plan on trading before I saw this video.
I like the standard , what's the difference in street glide and heritage or maybe a road king , do the street glides cost more ? I don't take overnight trips , I have about 5 yrs on an older sportster which I really like but the ride is not comfortable I want to stretch out and I usually ride alone or no rider , what would you recommend ? I like the heritage or road king older and used bike to put my own spin on like apes and pipes , your video's are great , thanks
