Very nice review. Now I will try to find the article. One question though .. I recently test rode a Street Glide and was surprised at the shaking when it came to a stop and was even more surprised that the shaking/vibration didn't really go away even at 110 kph. Did you find the example you tested was smooth at speed? Thanks

Thanks - yeah the vehicle I tested was quite smooth when in motion.

Coincidently I picked up a 2012 model for a long term test this morning. They do shake a bit at the traffic lights, but the ones I've ridden are sweet when under way. There's a 'pulse' to them, but I don't find it annoying at all.

Nice little scrape there at 5:12

I can't help but think that the whole front wind screen bit reminds me of the queen from Aliens ...

I'd still love one though!

That's the skill with 'em - just kiss the deck ever so gently  :-)

I had the Batbike thing going on.

Thanks for the that. I definitely have to book another test ride. Sometimes impressions from a first test ride can be misleading.

Awesome Street Glide you got there. I dig the Matte Black, ride safe!

Nice report, you presented it well. I have an 08 FLHT, I also love telling people how sweet it is to ride near the speed limit.

I have had 5 harleys and the street glide is by far the best bike they make.
