2019 Harley-Davidson Street Glide Special is a matte-black throwback

Harley's 2019 Street Glide special is big in pretty much every respect.

It's got a big engine -- 114 cubic inches.

It's got a big curb weight -- 798 pounds before you add any fluids.

It's also got a big price tag of nearly $30,000.

The other thing it's got that's big is its personality.

I didn't expect to enjoy this massive cruiser as much as I did.

And while I don't think I'm going to rush out and buy one, I do truly appreciate what makes the brand special.

Everything about the Street Glide is beautifully built and feels like a quality piece.
