Panama City Beach is the kind of place that practically calls for a motorcycle like the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra. With sun-drenched highways, scenic oceanfront causeways, and endless open roads, it’s a dream destination for riders who crave long-distance touring, a premium seat built for comfort, and the latest in cutting-edge technology. This year’s updates to the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra bring even more to the table, refining the ride in ways that make every journey smoother, more powerful, and more intuitive.
The batwing fairing has always been a defining feature of a Street Glide®, but for the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra, it has taken its design a step further. By utilizing computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and extensive wind tunnel testing, engineers reshaped the fairing to significantly cut down on helmet buffeting.
So, what does this mean for riders in Panama City Beach? Less head movement when cruising across the U.S. Route 98, an improved wind protection on the long stretches of Highway 231, and a steadier ride at high speeds—ideal for crossing the Hathaway Bridge without battling strong coastal gusts.
A new vent system has also been integrated, channeling airflow in a way that reduces turbulence while still allowing a refreshing breeze when needed. Paired with a taller, clear windshield, the result is a more planted and controlled feel on the road, all while keeping riders comfortable on long-haul adventures.
At the core of the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra is the Milwaukee-Eight® 117 V-Twin engine, designed to deliver a confident, smooth ride over long distances. With increased torque at lower RPMs, riders experience quicker acceleration off the line and effortless passing power on the highway.
For those planning a ride from Panama City Beach to Tallahassee, this means fewer gear shifts, stronger highway performance, and a ride that feels powerful without requiring constant throttle adjustments. The liquid-cooled cylinder heads help regulate temperature, making this bike an excellent choice for Florida’s warm and humid conditions.
A great touring bike isn’t only about power and comfort—it’s about staying connected. The 12.3-inch TFT touchscreen display on the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra provides crisp, high-resolution visuals that remain easy to read even in direct sunlight.
With this advanced infotainment system, riders can:
- Access GPS navigation with real-time traffic updates.
- Connect via Bluetooth® for hands-free calls and music streaming.
- Adjust bike settings easily with an intuitive interface.
For those long rides up the coast or deep into Florida’s Panhandle, this system ensures that you never miss a turn and always have your favorite playlist ready to go.
Few things compare to the feeling of cruising along the coast with your favorite music blasting. The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra comes equipped with an audio system designed to deliver rich, immersive sound—even at highway speeds.
The fairing-mounted speakers ensure the audio is directed right where you need it. From gliding down Front Beach Road at sunset to opening up the throttle on State Route 20, this sound system keeps your soundtrack as exhilarating as the ride itself.
Long-distance touring requires a bike that prioritizes comfort, and the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® Ultra does just that. The two-up touring seat has been redesigned with enhanced lumbar support, while ergonomic handlebars position the rider’s arms and wrists naturally, helping to reduce fatigue over extended rides.
For those cooler nights along the Emerald Coast, the heated grips offer adjustable warmth, ensuring your hands stay comfortable no matter the temperature.
And when it comes to storage, the King Tour-Pak® luggage carrier and spacious saddlebags provide ample space for all your essentials. From packing for a Gulf Coast road trip to carrying gear for a day of exploring backroads, this bike is ready for the journey.
