On the tarmac, the Street Glide Special is brilliant. Its aura is unique and its easy to see why so many riders have fallen in love with it. What makes it great though, like the rest of HarleyDavidsons touring models, is it feels lighter than it actually is. Ergonomically, the Street Glide Special is superb, with everything in easy reach. The stretched saddlebags even have one hand operation for ease of use. Practicalities aside, this is a touring bike with a serious attitude and an abundance of soul.
