The Street Glide is Harley-Davidson’s “Batwing” fairing bagger, part of the Grand American Touring range. For 2026, Harley-Davidson’s US Street Glide page lists five new colorways, the Milwaukee-Eight 117 engine and the 12.3-inch Skyline OS display, and its walkaround video describes the 2026 Street Glide and Road Glide as returning “lighter”. This is a spec-based overview: we haven’t ridden the bike for this article, and every figure is copied from Harley-Davidson’s 2026 Street Glide spec table, checked on 22 October 2026.

2026 Street Glide price
Harley-Davidson lists the 2026 Street Glide starting at $24,999 MSRP (as listed on 22 Oct 2026). The starting price is for the base color; Harley-Davidson’s Build & Price tool shows the cost of other paint options, and the page also lists a 2026 Street Glide Liberty Edition with Midnight Ember paint, eagle graphics and a blue-tinted windshield. Harley-Davidson’s page doesn’t show a destination or freight charge alongside the starting price, so ask your dealer for the full out-the-door figure.

Harley-Davidson quotes a laden seat height (with a rider aboard), while most other brands quote it unladen. That’s one reason Harley figures look low next to other bikes; our seat height guide explains the difference.
Who the Street Glide suits
This is a long-distance two-up touring bike, and the spec sheet reads like it: a 6-gallon tank, 2.42 cu ft of luggage capacity, a fairing with built-in speakers and Apple CarPlay, and 130 ft-lbs of torque at just 3250 rpm. It’s a very heavy motorcycle at 811 lb in running order, so it suits experienced riders who are comfortable managing that weight at walking pace, in parking lots and on slopes. Harley-Davidson’s Safety tab describes Vehicle Hold Control for hill starts and its cornering-enhanced Rider Safety Enhancements (ABS, linked braking, traction control and drag-torque slip control); check with a dealer exactly which are fitted to the trim you’re looking at.
Strengths and trade-offs (from the spec sheet)
- Low laden seat. 26.4 in. with a rider aboard makes reaching the ground easier than the weight suggests.
- Big low-rpm torque. 130 ft-lbs at 3250 rpm, measured to SAE J1349.
- Touring kit included. Bags, fairing audio, a 12.3-inch screen and phone connectivity.
- Weight. 811 lb in running order is the defining trade-off.
- Cornering clearance. 32° of lean each way and 5.5 in. of ground clearance are typical for a bagger, but far less than a sport-touring or adventure bike.
- Navigation is extra. Embedded navigation is sold separately, per the spec table.
Street Glide vs Road Glide (and the Pan America for contrast)
The Road Glide is the Street Glide’s closest rival, and it comes from the same showroom: same engine, but what Harley-Davidson calls a “fixed Sharknose fairing” instead of the Batwing. We’ve added Harley’s Pan America 1250 Special to show how different an adventure-touring alternative is.
| Model (model year) | US MSRP (as listed 22 Oct 2026) | Engine | Seat height, laden | Weight, in running order | Fuel capacity | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Harley-Davidson Street Glide (2026) | Starting at $24,999 | Milwaukee-Eight 117; 105 HP | 26.4 in. | 811 lb. | 6 gal. | Harley-Davidson |
| Harley-Davidson Road Glide (2026) | Starting at $25,999 | Milwaukee-Eight 117; 105 HP | 26.6 in. | 838 lb. | 6 gal. | Harley-Davidson |
| Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250 Special (2026) | Starting at $19,999 | Revolution Max 1250; 150 HP | Low/High Seat Position; 31.1 in./32 in. | 578 lb. | 5.6 gal. | Harley-Davidson |
- Road Glide: $1,000 more and 27 lb heavier on paper, with the same engine output and fuel economy. The practical difference is the fairing: Harley describes the Road Glide’s Sharknose as fixed, so it doesn’t turn with the bars the way a handlebar-mounted fairing does. Harley lists a narrower 37.2 in. width and a slightly higher 26.6 in. laden seat. We also have an archive page on the 2023 Road Glide ST (older model year, not re-verified).
- Pan America 1250 Special: $5,000 less and 233 lb lighter, with more power and 42° of lean each way, but a much taller seat and a very different riding style. See our adventure vs dual sport vs enduro guide for what adventure-touring bikes are built for.
