Default 2016 Street Glide First Impressions

I just found this forum dedicated to the Harley Street Glide ( i may have posted in an incorrect section earlier), sorry.


My good friend has a Road Glide (all decked out) and he recommended i ride a Harley Touring bike, and i decided to take the Street Glide for a spin, in San Francisco, and i liked it so much.

i was so blown away riding Harley's for the first time, and have my mind set on getting one !

There are some wheelies and stunts added, to keep it interesting and avoid you getting bored

Am always anxious to see what HD has planned with the CVO models, but to be honest I am not a fan of the heavy duty metal flake paint they have been using of late. My favorite SG CVO is still the 2012 citrus gun stock model!

What was the point of revving the bike up like that?

SFRider you may want to check out the Rushmore section, for more info on the newer
Bikes, 2014 & newer Touring models.

I use to live in the East Bay - Castro Valley until 1999. I made Sport Bikes out of a few early
1970's Yamahas & Hondas, back in those days no manufactures made full on Sport Bikes.

The sales guy works at a Harley store, sure he's seen his share of blippers before
