FYI Luggage capacity win goes to BMW (65 liter for SG vs 66 liter for BMW). I think you looked up top case size which is 49l. Having both bikes, I can tell you there is one clear winner for heading on a long distance ride. The winner handles better, is far more powerful, has a height adjustable windshield, weighs 250lbs less, and has an adjustable suspension. Love them both though!
Gee. OK. Handling? Please! Tech? Please! Don't believe this because the BMW is much more refined. The RT is truly a much better bike overall unless you just have Harley loyalty.
The minute you gave both bikes a 4 for handling and tried to claim the handling of the street glide was as good as the 1250RT I knew there was no way you had rode both bikes. The new Harley’s are nice but the RT blows the street glide away in handling. You also can’t jack up the price of the RT and claim you can’t buy one for that price and then not give the RT credit for the Adaptive Cruise Control which you would get at the higher price. Oh and good luck getting a Street Glide at MSRP.
Not really. Nobody that rode those two bikes would say they handle the same. Did you just ride them in a straight line??? The SG weighs about 200lbs more than the RT. That fact alone means they probably won’t handle the same. Add on that the Harley is top heavy while the RT carries its weight low. The RT practically turns itself and is so well balanced I thought the thing was going to stay standing at a complete stop. No comparison.
@@rosterland130 Have you ridden the new Street Glide? Don't go by what the numbers show. You'd be surprised. You're right about the RT being very well balanced, and almost standing straight by itself. Do you like the RT more than the K1600?
I’ve road a SG several times and was considering getting one until I rode an RT and felt the RT was a much better bike. I have not rode a 1600 yet but plan to then decide which of those two to get.

Total rubbish. Owned both. BMW twice the bike and half the price.
Sorry you don't believe in science.

It is science.
I've been to a number of police rodeo competitions. Both BMW and Harleys participated. The BMWs always outperformed the Harleys.
@@tomoth77 Good. What models?
@minijpmotorcycles the bmw 1250rt and harley street glide.
@@tomoth77 what year?;
Not many talking points, just opining. Didn't included braking performance; pretty damn important.
It seems the HD wins on all the subjective categories..
It's science.

The footage of me riding both bikes is not proof enough?

Worst video comparison I watched in my whole life.
Well my next one will be better. Haha
@@minijpmotorcyclesgood answer👍🏽
Stop lying 👿 you know the truth bmw 1250 all day long guy
It is science. 😂
Rubbish
You need to elaborate.
I can get a full face helmet into the saddle bag of a BMW, can't do that on any Harley. This video and the comparisons are terrible.
@@robsteal3887 are you sure they're terrible? Matbe they're just really bad.
my 2020 R1250rt pegs the speedo 150mph
And in the real world?
@@minijpmotorcycles BMW's smoke Harley's And the BMW is NOT limited.
