Similar Features 

There are a ton of similarities that these bikes share, including but not limited to the following! 

They both feature classic Milwaukee-Eight® 107 V-Twin engines, which feature 45 mpg fuel efficiency and large fuel capacity tanks. You'll also be able to bring a friend along for the ride with either bike, as they both feature passenger seats in vertical riding positions. 

As for pricing, you can expect to see fairly similar prices across both models! 

Different Features

The Road Glide® features a mounted frame with bolted setup, meaning you cannot change the position of the handlebars while you ride. This feature is designed so that you do not get as fatigued during a longer ride! 

In contrast, the Street Glide® features the classic batwing fairing that allows you to adjust your position. This can be more taxing on your body but allows for a more customized riding experience. 

The Road Glide® is a heavier, but smaller, touring motorcycle, meaning you'll have more stability on the road but less maneuverability. The Street Glide® is a lighter bike, which allows for more ease of movement even at higher speeds.
