Harley-Davidson Street Glide vs Ultra Limited! Why you should choose one motorcycle over the other!

Great job! You named out all the reasons why I went with an Ultra and tricked it out rather than start the other way. The wet head motor alone does it for me. Great stuff!

I have the Ultra Limited and it runs 90% of the year looking like a Street Glide since I have the quick release for the tourpack and a SG seat for in town use. When I hit the road for trips I put the big seat and tourpack on.

Don’t forget ultra limited looked like it had heated grips as well! Both great looking bikes.

I bought the Ultra Limited and I have never regretted that one second…. the way this heavy Motorcycle handles is unbeatable 👍🏻✊🏻🇺🇸☠️

The ultra has heated grips you forgot to mention it.

I would love to see you get an Ultra Limited!!! With the miles you put down it makes total sense!!!

First off, really enjoyed getting to meet you at Bootlegger the other day and thanks so much for steering me to the part that I needed; I was able to get it put on at the hotel parking lot and the rest of the trip went great. You saw my ultra limited sans tour pak while we were visiting. I'm only 5'4" so I'm at the other end of the spectrum from you on height and clearance issues. I definitely like the twin-cooled system and that along with heated grips and a couple of other features sold me on the ultra instead of the Street glide. I lowered my bike so it pretty much sits like a Street glide now. I think you'd absolutely love the ultra Limited. I got a seat from a Freewheeler and use that when my tour pack is off to give it a little sleeker look. Thanks again for the help and safe travels sir.

Nice comparison Tall. You’r right about the back suspension. 12” on the SG and an 1” shorter than UL! This means that you have 1 inch less stroke!! The SG does’nt move😂😂 I own an Ultra lid 2021 now. Had a RKS before and changed the shocks for 13”…longer stroke suspension, better handling, and no scraping floorboards and sidestand anymore. The lights in Holland are different, the UL has 2 separate turnsignals and only taillight and extra second brakelight in the case. So make thisone detachable is easier,….if you want. The UL takes corners very sharp and i have no problem to keep up with a Yammie Tracer 900 GT in the “mountains” of Luxemburg 💪🏽

I brought my SG in 09. When I brought it I got it because I liked the stripped down look of the SG. If you look at my bike today, it looks more like Ultra than it does a Street glide. If I was to buy a new bike today it would be an Ultra.

Excellent video, one major diffence you missed is the limited has different tires. They are touring tires with more side wall making for a softer ride over small lines and cracks in the road. The liw profile tires on the Streetglide are more firm and transmit bumps to the shorter Streetglide shocks making the ride rougher.

Love my Ultra Limited. Also love a Street Glide. For long distance I would take my Ultra Limited.

Just love Tall's informative vids covering HD.

Good morning Tall, thanks for all the Great video's. I'm planning to finally get my 1st Harley this Spring and you're making it increasingly difficult to choose, but the dilemma is very well welcomed!!! I'm leaning towards the SGS in Gauntlet or Gunship Grey "blacked out" and I can hardly wait to join the HD family! FAITH, PAITIENCE, OBEDIENCE!

Ultra limited for me. 2018 Anniversary Edition. Fits me and what I do perfectly. I need the tour pack to keep my laptop in for work. I ride every day for work all over East Texas. I like the driving lights. They light up the bar ditches well and help me avoid deer and other varmints at night. My bags are always full of equipment and so all I really have is the tour pack to carry stuff. The only drawback for me is the bars are too short. They need to be higher. I plan on changing that in the future. It makes low-speed handling harder to do, Good video Tall. God Bless!

Love the color on that Ultra.

I was on a Street Glide. I switched to a ‘20 ultra limited. Best thing I ever did. I’m 6’ and it fits me great. 14” bars, low windshield. 131” motor with boom 2 stereo. Plush.

Hey Tall, Excellent comparison video as always!! Thank you. I'm a 2019 Ultra Limited owner and absolutely love it coming from an 08 Cross Bones Springer with 16" bars. I do need to put some 10" KST bars on to be more comfortable long distance, but the bike is ready for many miles. I have zero regrets, except that they came out with the black package after I bought mine. Otherwise, perfection!

I have a 2015 Street Glide Special that I traded My 2000 Wideglide for in 2017.One of the hardest decisions in my life trading my Wideglide,it was my first Harley to.People Love the Jade Green color of this Bike with the Gold metal flake,so do I.I've always Loved this since it first came out.About the only thing I don't like are the rear shocks.You seem to feel every bump in the road and I know that's because its has about an inch or more less travel.I know that's an easy fix just change the shocks ( not cheap) and it would probably improve the handling of the bike also.Diffenitely don't want air Shocks and have to worry about them leaking down the road.Other than that I Love my Streetglide Special.

I just picked up my RGL day before yesterday. I chose this after two Road Glide Standards. It rides dramatically differently and does sit taller. I don't notice the weight to be honest but those passenger boards will be replaced with some pegs soon as I don't ride with a passenger. Great video Tall. Keep it up!

Hey Tall. You can’t go wrong with the Ultra Limited especially when traveling across country. I’m 6’6” myself and have a 20 RGL w/ the Extended Reach Road-sofa LS Seat which pushes me back a couple inches. Also I have extended bars that come back to me while resting on my backrest. I love it. The Ultra in this video definitely fits you. Continue to ride safe. God Bless.
