2024 Harley-Davidson Street Glide (FLHX) - Full Review and First Ride - No Detail Left Unanswered

- čas přidán 19. 05. 2024
- Harley-Davidson has revamped their two most popular touring bikes the Road Glide and the Street Glide. The Street Glide's success has been undisputable in the heavy-weight cruiser class. Since the 2006 Model year when the Street Glide went into uninterrupted production, the popularity of this type of "big wheel" factory style has created a new segment in motorcycling. In the 2024 model year Harley has completely changed the body style of the Street Glide. We got a preview of the new look last year with the 2023 CVO Street Glide. This year we also have a new infotainment system, improved Milwaukee-Eight Engine, better suspension, and the list goes on. Matt Laidlaw goes into all the details and gives his opinion.

Rare Breed MC was the first to strip the Electra Glide and make it into what it is today. Back when the dealership and other riders said it was ugly. Before the name Street Glide existed. Cool video Laidlaw. 😎
Valid comment! I’m gonna pin this!
Thank you.
@@MattLaidlaw Thanks! Keep posting these awesome videos and road trips! We're watching!
Don’t care about aftermarket stuff. What the manufacture does is what matters !!! Rare Breed doesn’t manufacture motorcycles 🏍️.
In the nineties a guy I know bought a electraglide (I think it was a sport model). He put on a different front fender, removed the passing lamps, and it looked liked a stripped down bagger, what they call a street glide today.
@@mrchopboogie yes exactly! Lots of guys were doing this. This is what helped influence the design of the street glide.
Matt, you’re the only Harley Davidson reviewer I watch. You’re videos and entertaining and very comprehensive. Thanks for all the great content.
Matt, your videos are FANTASTIC. The HDMC better be paying you a marketing salary. I'm not kidding!! I'm certain it takes tons of time and effort on your part to get these vides out. Thank you.
There is NO better place to go for Harley reviews 🎉. Matt, your knowledge and presentation on the history and visual orgasm of the best motorcycle on the planet is amazing not to mention the scenery. THANK YOU!
Simply amazing the details, history. You are a credit to Harley Matt. I'm looking at a Road Glide but 90% of this is applicable to both. Many thanks mate. Well done
Thank you.
Yes, a lot carries over to the road glide. I have that video coming out in the near future as well.
His family sells them and his family must eat.
I will never stop loving Harley bikes . My 2017. M8 is still running strong!! Hard Candy HotRod Red flake Custom !!!!
I love that paint job! It would be great if they brought it back next year!
That's the best Color scheme
Give me a kick start and no digital bill shit
@@paulsnyder3307 But you have a digital phone.
@@paulsnyder3307 very few people want that shit
You killed it Matt! Way to go. Everything a guy could want to know about the new remodeled street glide.
My job is done here then. 🤙🏼 thanks man.
Best Harley channel on youtube.
Thank you sir.
Facts!!! Very well put together!! Wish they had there dealership in Florida! Trying to buy a CVO now and our dealerships in area are HORRIBLE!!
I don't mind the flat black inside the fairing. It doesn't reflect the light as much as the shiny black, which can affect your vision while riding.
Thank you for the video. I enjoyed the historical information in the beginning and the explanations of all the new features. Please keep up all your good work and travel safely. Thanks again.
Matt, ALWAYS the best review of new Harley models! You have a talent for presentation and getting the essentials put together for great viewing! Thanks for your professional approach and great editing, there are a lot of us that enjoy your video content!
I love the history lesson at the beginning of this video. I would love to see a playlist of all the history of each model
Thank you. I usually Try to give a brief history of each model before every review. Especially the new models at the beginning of a model year release.
Another awesome video! If I ever have a Harley shop, I’m just going to have all your videos on a loop and playing continuously for everyone to see and enjoy!
great video and very comprehensive. I purchased mine 2 weeks ago and have had zero issues with using my old Cardo headset with full functionality. Very early in my time with this bike, but I really like it so far. Keep giving us great content and thank you!
In my late 50s, I am that old and crusty rider you mentioned but I really love the look and the many features of this bike. Harley was needing a style change and this hits all the marks without being a severe makeover. Thanks for the tour of this new bike Matt! Excellent video.
I am with you on the hydraulic clutch! The sophistication of the hydraulic clutch is a 5 star charm for me!
Agreed and all the whiners have us at a 1930 inadequate cable system. I guess it’s because they couldn’t get their hair in a man bun after riding
I wish harley would bring back the hydraulic clutch as it’s far superior
I am always looking forward to your next video on CZcams. Your HD bike reviews are second to none. Keep up the great work, and I look forward to the next one.
2024 Harley is for Granny now they cant go over 100 mph hahaha my Vespa is faster
Matt is the best HD reviewer by far. I appreciate the content and look forward to the opportunity to visit the dealership, despite it being on the other side of the country from my location. :)
Thanks man. If you’re ever out here be sure to drop by.
Once again I wait for your review and you did not disappoint. I love watching all your videos. Excellent delivery of information that keeps you at peek interest. And I agree , this new line up of the baggers is incredible. In my opinion this was the biggest year for Harley with the best and most significant improvements introduced in a single year. I see you on a Road Glide next Matt , lol.
you provide all the details, great job as usual,, spot on!!!
When I left your dealership, it took a little bit to get used to the new controls, but I now love the new buttons, new screen, 117” motor, stock bars and seat solid for the 6 hour trip home, having owned the two previous versions of the road glide, this is the best bike I have owned to date. Major improvement by the motor company.
What’s up Justin! Thanks for the comment. Good to hear the feedback. 🤙🏼 thanks for taking the time. I appreciate you coming down! Enjoy the road glide.
@@MattLaidlaw thanks to you and your team, it was worth the trip, renewed my faith in dealerships, your straight forward approach earned my trust and I encourage everyone to make their bike purchase/parts and service through you. Thanks for your videos,
your shop and crew.
Best dealership on the West Coast...Thanks Matt, Dave, Nick and the guys in the service and parts department. . just got my 2024 Road Glide and couldn't be happier......
Thank you for another great video. I truly appreciate that you did voice-over instead of moto-vlogging like other reviewers do. I also appreciate your honesty regarding how you feel about some of the new features. I also am becoming a ‘crusty old man’ when it comes to design changes.
I’m not in love with the new look of the SG or the RG. The large display is great but I’m not sold on the new fairings, tank, and saddlebag redesigns.
I ride a 2018 SG special similar to yours, and I prefer that design to the new one.
I wish they had made the front storage compartment lockable. Good looking bike.
Great Review as usual. I always wait for your reviews on any new bikes. I also appreciate when you point out what you don't like about a bike.
Always the best at clearly explaining the facts. Great video.
As always, THE best Harley reviews and information are from this channel. Great work, and these new bikes are really beautiful in person. The best colors in recent history this year, IMHO.
I love the review of the 24’ it still hasn’t grown on me as of yet, it makes the Rushmore bikes more retro the 11inch iPad screen, electric on screen gauges no “old school” analog gauges lol I understand Harley has to modernize I remember when fuel injection was an option in the 90s. My 21 bagger is 2yrs from being paid for, I honestly don’t see a reason personally. Bags are thinner too but time will tell I love the road glide but I dislike the new RG fairing so much I’d have to get a SG. but my local is selling them for 35k base and 52k for the Cvo st in Cali. I have no issue criticizing Harley Davidson some just kiss their ass and are yes men. But they surely didn’t “modernize” it. Btw Laidlaw is an awesome Harley Dealership and love your reviews. Always top notch and informative
thanks Matt, you helped me find a motorcycle shipper for my out of state move. You're the best.
I bought the 24 RoadGlide, love more each time I ride it!! As always, great videos Matt, Thank you
Thanks for your detailed videos, after a 12 year pause I think it’s time to get a bike again!
Great job Matt. You always give the most in depth reviews.
This was the most thorough review of the new Street Glide that I have seen. Thanks for the work!
Great video as always Matt. Always the best breakdown and information available.
I feel the same way about ride modes. The power control has been built into motorcycles from the beginning, it is a grip on the right hand side that rotates and there is a lever on the left at your foot. Between those two you have all the ride modes you could ever need.
Matt, you absolutely do the best review.. fantastic job
Fantastic overview, and the history lesson. I appreciate the video.
Excellent review video Matt. The best I've seen from you, and they're normally good anyway.
At first I read about these new models and watched a lot of videos. I was not overly impressed by the changes. Then I went to the dealership when they came in. I was much more attracted to see and feel them in person. Not enough to pop, however, as I currently ride a '23. I wasn't going to view this video until I saw your name on it. Your presentations are always top notch camera work, editing, and sound quality. But mostly the straight up and comprehensive, well thought out information is for me, the draw. I know HD values what you do (whether they acknowledge it or not). I believe you are responsible for a great many decisions to purchase a new bike. Good job, you made me want one..!
2024 Harley is for Granny now they cant go over 100 mph hahaha my Vespa is faster
If i wanted a race bike, I'd have one. There is a lot more to riding than speed. Everything is not a race. On the street what do you win anyway? If you live long enough, you might figure it out. Or you might splatter like so many others.
@@fredflint1797 all Harleys now are safer and grandma like .. the decision is the woke feminine weaklings who now control the gay Company called Harley..hahah ride a man's bike one made with superior technology and build for speed and men. ( Ducati )
Without question, I believe you are the best HD content creator! I often watch your videos multiple times and gain nothing from your peers. You're knowledge and delivery are above all else out there. You're factual content and humility in delivering the facts are refreshing, so many content creators are focused on themselves, you are pedigree and deliver humbly. With your incredible content, I just bought my 2nd Harley, 2024 Street Glide, trading in a 2020 Street Glide Special. I am still breaking her in and learning the Infotainment System, so no true review, but your honest review, especially with the weight is proven. I'll update this comment in a few days after I get to wake her up, after the break in. FYI: Stage 1 from dealer, I was warned to not do S2/CAM until more data was available. I'm a rider from Georgia but I look to your content immediately when I need help. Thank You!!
Thank you my friend. This video took me about 15 hours to edit. That’s not including travel and filming. Comments like this make it all worth it. Thanks for taking the time to leave this comment. It made my day.
Awesome video set for the road glide and street gilde, thank you for putting the time into this, its not easy to create content like this. If I lived in CA, I would buy my next bike from you.
I appreciate your work as always.
Thanks again, Matt! Your vlog was very informative.
Matt - been subscribed for 2 years. I love and appreciate your content. Well done sir.
Thank you for this comment. I appreciate the sub!
Matt, your videos just blow it out of the water! Thank you
Nice clear, knowledgeable, informative review
I was very critical of the new fairings when they came out. I can accept the new batwing fairing, but I still can’t stand the road glide fairing - it looks horrible side by side with the 2023s.
Excellent presentation on the new Street Glide.
Thank you!
Best Review out There!! Thanks Matt!
Fantastic review as always Matt. Also, your voice is so calming. Thanks!
Thanks for watching! I’m take calming 👍🏼
Excellent job Matt and kudos to your production crew! Top notch. Keep ‘em coming.
Thank you!
Great video Matt as always. Harley should be paying you for these videos. This is going to be my next bike.
Another factual unbiased vlog which spells it out for everyone. I always learn something from your content. Question is, will it be SG or RG? Thanks Matt. Btw I received my ML Ts from Stefan a couple of weeks back in England. That’s friendship for you; that’s motorcycling.
I love it 🙌🏼 thanks for the support.
Yea, the history is hard to argue against. It’s hard to deny HD made the batwing fairing what it is today.
Great review as always. I myself do appreciate the gear indicator. I have the 2023 CVO Street Glide and your comments about the new suspension are spot on. On my 2021 CVO SG, I had to replace the seat and suspension. The 2023 needs no upgrades in my opinion. Thanks for the great content.
Another great honest video. I like the history part also. Thank you.
Matt that was an outstanding presentation as usual.
Matt, once again, FIRST Class video and content. Came by your dealership, hope the remodel is done! All the best, FRAN
Wow, great video production. Thoroughly enjoyed watching. I have never been a big Harley fan, but I will say need a new Street Glide.
Great vid as always . I love the historical context
Solid review as always Matt! Love the History lesson with voiceover as well 😎⚡️🤙
Thank you for the great review as always
They did a great job. Looking forward to seeing them in person and riding them if i get the opportunity. 🤠
Like always, you bring the awesome history to those who dont know much about the brand. This is a great bike, and I believe HD did a great job. I will be getting this bike in the near future. Thank you, Matt......👊😎
Great video Matt I'm loving the history of motorcycles there.
Fantastic content sir. I really enjoyed it
Incredible video, Matt! Thank you for taking the time to put all this information together. Especially liked the history lesson in the beginning! Quick question - in your opinion, do you think Harley will release a Road Glide Limited version on this new body style?
Personally, I prefer the matt plastic inner fairing. Easier to clean and no worries about the gloss finishing showing scratches and swirls.
Great video, thank you! Haven’t had a Harley for 7 years now.
Great review Matt. I'm surprised and impressed with modern updates to the Street Glide. I am really digging the styling. As for your review, great info. I even laughed at your subtle digs at Indian at the beginning of the video (I currently own an Indian). 😁 Keep on keep'n on H-D!
great video Matt, lot of good information.
Always informative! 👍
Nailed the video as always waited to see your review. Then the others are added entertainment
Excellent video!!! I especially
enjoyed the first part!!! BTW, I love the new body style on both bikes!!!
Thank you. I think the body styles are nice. 🤙🏼
I love the history you put into the videos.
Thanks man. I glad to hear people are enjoying that.
Bro I’m 41 and been a crusty old man biker since I was a teenager.
I just wasn’t able to afford a Harley til my later 30s
Just picked one up two days ago.... Love it! Nice review too!
Amazing video Matt, you a legend in the CZcams world.
Great video, I just got a 2024 RG but this video made me realize that it was a good purchase.
Awesome man. Enjoy the bike
Very good and honest review, thank you for that.
Another fantastic video edit
Another stellar review Matt!
Another great video, Matt. Can’t wait to see your Road Glide take and to see which you choose for your next!
I love that the cardos can connect directly!
I agree completely with your thoughts on the manual clutch vs hydraulic...I love my hydraulic clutch and also like my handle bar mounted analog gauges on my 18 Roadglide!
Nice history lesson. Very entertaining and knowledge full video
Nice video. I love hearing the history of how we got to where we are today. I also respect your take on the new bikes versus the old. Tech is cool but what happens when it breaks? Just replace the module and back to new we all hope. Just like a computer. Anyways if you still like the old school Harely's for 2024. Then the Ultra Limited and Road King Special are there for that. So there is something for everyone with Harley. Like my 2015 Twin Cam 103 RK. Ride Safe.
Hi Matt, great review thanks.
You mentioned the seat was very comfortable for tall riders. I'm 6'4" and I always buy the Tall Boy seats for my bikes. I'm still waiting to pick up my bikes, as my dealer is add a bunch of upgrades. Do you think I can stay with the stock seat? Have you seen the 24' Tall Boy seat, I'm curious of they upgraded that for comfort too.
Awesome video brother 👊🏻. I noticed the same thing with the seat. We took a bunch of breaks out in Vegas but my back normally would be screaming after a short period with that old seat but not with this one
Great job on the review!
Yes, these two bikes were due for updates. And, I really like these updates. Both bikes are improved tremendously in my mind. I started as a shark nose fan before these changes and I like the change to the fairing even more on the street glide than on the road glide. So, I’m even more of a street glide fan now.
Great review as always!
Awesome review (no surprise). Looking forward to the Road Glide review.
Cool video I just got a 2023 low rider st.
I'm looking forward to building sum power
Great review. I really want to hear your review on the roadglide. Bravo
Excellent review.
Great video .
I bought a 2024 White Onyx Street Glide and love it .
Oh nice man. Enjoy. 🤙🏼
Great review Matt!!
Very informative, thank you
Matt a great video as always from you. A big thanks for all your hard work.
What are your thoughts on the higher seat height
How do you think that windshield will do in the rain. It looks like it’s going to spray all over the rider and face shield
No lowers is a bummer as anyone who rides distance, those lowers are helpful and keep your feet a bit dryer in the rain Can you change the rear shocks out or will it effect the RDS system and sensors
I am enjoying my 23 lowrider st. My 2016 street glide is to complicated to run the info station even now for me. Good job on the info.
