I'd say Street Glide or the Vic. My brother is a salesman at a shop that sell Victory and got a Cross Roads demo one weekend. That thing is so killer, and the aftermarket has some exhaust options. Other than that, the thing already looks tight right off the showroom floor.

I suggest the Deluxe, put some bags and wind screen you like on it and your ready to go on the long trip. Take them off and you have a beauty.

Being an ex-victory owner, I'd go for the streetglide.

I went Street Glide. I was kind of up in the air between the Street and the Road, but when it came down to price and availability the Street Glide won out. I just could find enough Road Glides at dealers to be able to get a good deal.

The Street Glide performs well and it's a great ride with a few changes, mostly wind screen and bars.

The Victory never even crossed my mind.

If you're wanting something for long hauls, nothing is going to be more comfortable or stable and handle better on the highway than a Road Glide.

Hopefully in a few years I can add a second bike for the same reasons...when I do it will either be a Road Glide or a Road King.

The fairing on the Road Glide is something you either love or hate, but I think after you ride one you will realize it has a purpose & looks won't matter.

This bike wasn't an option.

I plan on getting a Road Glide for my second bike. So that's what I would recommend.

I've never ridden a Road Glide so can't speak to the ride. Not a fan (at all) of the fixed fairing. I rented a Street Glide this summer while back in Michigan and I thought it handled really well. Felt nimble and very comfortable. My vote is Street Glide!
