2015 Harley Davidson Street Glide Demo Ride w/ vlog review
I recently was given the chance to test ride the 2015 Street Glide at the Progressive International Motorcycle Show in San Mateo, CA. What a great bike, however a few unexpected things came up while testing this bike, things that may keep me from having this as a second bike! I apologize for the wind noise at times, I was using a different mic setup then normal and the windshields always give me trouble with unexpected wind streams going into my helmet. Anyways, I think you will enjoy this! Thumbs up if ya do!
Happy Thanksgiving!

I commented before on this video nice bike ..great long hauler.. here is a video of my bikes .. I have a sporty like you and a electro-glide
Wow 77k+ views … Gotta love it …
I found out that vent helps neutralize the buffeting from using the short windscreen … I wonder which is better the street glide or the road glide, I think only difference being the fairing …
Did ya buy one yet?
Aloha XXXDeadhead! I totaled my brand new 2014 FatBoy Lo (lady cut me off in the intersection). And I'll be picking up with a great deal, a '14 Street Glide. Lane splitting is illegal here in Hawaii so I think I'll be fine LOL
Great video! I'm picking a white one up tomorrow. I'm having them add the LED headlight, and the extended bags with speakers. $27,500 out the door! Talk about sticker shock. Your video was very informative and didn't seem too dragged out. I do wish you could have done more about the radio and sound. What kind of set up did you use for video? How did your voice come in so clear? I did subscribe, so I hope to hear more.
My favorite model. Great review. Thanks for the post!
Great video, I demo'd one a couple months ago while having my breakout serviced, and really thinking of trading in for the Street Glide! Thanks for the Post!
rode enough bikes to know that bullshit….lol
I need to demo one of these! I disagree with you on the color though. That green is freaking sick! Nice video!
oh wow i love it…im getting a Harley as my third bike…klx, hypermotard and the as soon as i pay off the duke ill get a Harley…i still havent decided what model but it will be another vtwin…i absolutely love the vtwin sound and need more
The HD Street Glide is a fantastic bike … but has a "cookpit" like an air jet reaction … I like the Indian …
Best ride review i have seen……wish they would drop that price down 2–4 gz. FK ! a working man needs to eat also. But did ya drive the new Roadking ? Oh when you said the buffering from the wind,was the front vent open or closed,what helped ?
harley davidson has new and upgraded everything, but the engine technology is the same as of late only going from 88ci,92ci,103ci with no increase in reliability. They still run hot as hell, to many leak points of oil, and way to many engine parts that can and do fail that lock the engine up.
Harley Davidson will go to a gear drive, more oil, and/or carbon fiber primary belt soon and redesign their entire engine because other cycle builders have new engine technology and electronics combined and are taking over the law enforcement sector alone.
Nice Glide. I really like the green on it. I know it takes a little to get used to it. Ride Safe & God Bless!!
Hey, what's up? You Make Me Smile! tame crate !!
I have a 2014 street glide special and it now has 10,000 miles. I've had absolutely zero issues and love this bike. If your considering buying one I would recommend it. Insurance is cheap as hell for a brand new bike. And Harley has been unbelievably pleasant to work with and friendly to me and my family.
Great video and review really enjoy watching it. Like the street glide and the new road glide. I prefer the fixed fairing on the road glide but like the more nostalgic look of the bat-wing fairing on the street glide.
Wait? What! The FLHX is a disadvantage in lane splitting? I live in SF and have owned tons of bikes but also a Road Glide (with 16" Apes that make truck mirrors an issue) and currently own a Street Glide like the one you are riding and there is no issue in lane splitting. She glides like she's on ice down Oak Street in the morning and Fell Street in the evening. The Street Glide is an amazing ride. Smooth, easy to maneuver, and fun on long trips.
CVO Streetglides are the best!
hey nice video man! If you like check out our channel would be awesome! ;)
I have a 2008 Harley-Davidson Dyna Low Rider and love it.
HD is the only way to go in life! the best!
The windsplitter is to DEFLECT the wind over your head – not give you wind to your helmet…..
next bike, i gotta have 1
Hey XXXDeadhead, I actually test drove a charcoal grey street glide yesterday. Fell in love with it immediately. That blue tooth and stance along with the smooth ride sold it for me. Looking at buying it in the next month or so. However I had the same concerns as you did regarding leaning and maybe scraping the floor boards. I also had to mess more with the kick stand and putting the bike in neutral. All in all its going to be my next bike for sure. I did also notice the weight shift when coming to a stop. Thanks for posting the video and it's good to know that I'm not the only one who had the same concerns.
Hey XXXDeadhead – I have come back to the Street Glide vids as it has always been at the top of my list for 'the next bike' – hence another watch and comment on your vid! I looking at arranging a test ride with the Street Glide ASAP! Many thanks!
105.7 ti stathmo akoui? λαμψη Καβαλας ;D
The 1960s called… they want their motorcycle back… what a piece of shit.
Do you have any problems with battery life on the Hero 4 . I have to go out with 3 batteries as they seem to run out after 20 min and thats only recording at 1080.
I think I've seen other video's with you. I like the video. I like all motorcycle videos but love Harley's a lil more seeing I own one. The 2016 HD IRON 883 with a few upgrades so it's the same bike you have too so if it is I've seen a couple of your vids and if not then no biggie I subscribed and will be watching more. I paid for my bike but am waiting for it to get delivered to the Dealership from the Factory. About 10 more days or so. It's my first bike. They actually are having a Demo Day here on this Fri. and Sat. with 15 different bikes. I'll be attending one of those days. TY for making the video and keep them coming!!!
Thanks for this review bro! Gave me a good idea for a motorcycle
i owned a dyna street bob, and i did a demo ride on a 2015 street glide, man i loved it, its comfortable, has proper body posture, thinking of getting this someday, although i havent ride the road glide, its alil heavier but the turning might be easier since the fairing doesmt turn
Great video, thanks! I am currently looking to buy a black SGS within the next month, HD great bikes.
thanks
wow!!!
