Ive been riding since the early 80s and Ive had 3 road kings in the past 20 years. I always wanted a street glide and I finally got a 24 in April. Best bike Ive ever owned. I never even considered a Road Glide. Sorry guys, but they are butt ugly. They look like somebody welded a Volkswagen bug on top the handlebars of Softail. Im happy for you if you own one, but I definitely dont see it. 😎

RG slow take off after the tour Glide was predictable. People for the most part don't what to get out of the box. Take the safe bet even if it is not.
Some of us went for the RG. By 2007 it was growing steady. 2011 with release of RGU and new market opened up. 2015 Rushmore brought many that had been on the fence over. The growth has not stopped.
Now the RG is consider cool so it is ok to buy one.
For a long time safe bet was a Black Batwing in one form or another. That time has pasted.
In 2007 wife and I rode a 2004 RG loaner. 2 weeks latter purchased a new 2007 RG and never looked back.
