WG's have their own class.
SB's, ahhhh not so much, a step up from a sportster....and more $$$$$.
Handling mehhhh.
Go w/the WG after taking them both out for spin of course.

I've owned a wide glide, street bob and now a fat bob. All three three are great bikes. I would rent each for a day or two if possible. All will handle very differently and it probably will be tough to tell which will suit you best during a 15-20 minute test ride.

It all boils down to which one YOU want and can afford. Both great bikes. I just bought a new sb after riding them all and love it. Soon as i pay it off in a year or two im gonna go and buy a brand new road glide as well. So then i will have a bike for around town and short runs and a highway bike for long distance with the wife. The sb or the wg will do just fine 2 up. But i wanna have both a touring bike and my dyna. Call me crazy. I couldnt justify the extra money between the wg and sb knowing i was gonna eventually have the dyna and a touring bike. Again it all boils down to what you like. Most people like the street glide in my area but since i have ridden a road glide im dead set on one. Cant go wrong either way.

There all good. As a daily I like my fxdbi. But a nice wide glide looks great too.
Post some pics of bikes you like. If you like a club look then a wide glide would not be the first pic
if you like a chopper look than the wide glide would be great. They have a nice kicked out front end and a wider rear tire. So they look cool too
if I could I would own both.
