The rear brake squeals, the engine runs hot, the wind buffeting will drive you crazy, there is a whine in 5th gear. It has a TBW that can lose its mind and kill you. 6th gear is useless under 65 MPH. Steer clear of this monstrosity.


I LOVE MINE!!!!!

I'm not sure when I'm going to get it. My plan is to get the payment right, then just show up at home with it. The wife will get over it.
I took it out on the highway and oh man, oh man. I could have rode for hours. I had the biggest damn smile on my face. Now I can't get the Glide off of my mind. I love it!

Big fan of both Glides (Street and Road). One of the 2 will be my next bike...Which one it will be depends on which was the last one I rode.
