Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Classic FLHTC 2014 vs. Harley-Davidson Touring Street Glide Special FLHXS 2016

Harley-Davidson Touring Street Glide Special FLHXS 2016

It must have been the first Harley I was ever allowed to ride, back then in blue with a nice loud Screamin' Eagle sound system. We didn't produce any videos back then, just a sound file, recorded at about 7.15 in the morning in the apartment building canyon around the corner. The 2017 Street Glide in a fabulous metallic tangerine was less loud, but one of the most beautiful Harleys I've ever ridden. I couldn't get enough of the large expanses of front fairing and low-slung luggage. The Street Glide has a more balanced profile than, for example, the Road Glide, which cuts a less harmonious figure. You don't have the full comfort of an Ultra, but more riding dynamics, a reasonable lean angle clearance and an iconic Harley silhouette.
