Land Shark!

 

Of the bikes you listed I would chose a black Road Glide Custom. I think they are cooler than hell. Where I live It seems every 2cnd or 3rd bike is a Street Glide. They look cool, but you dont have to be a brain surgeon to look at the wind dynamics of the 2 fairings and see which one will work better.

And thanks for going to Afghanastan for us. I truly appreciate it.

 

I have enjoyed owning 2 Kawasakis and they are good bikes. Yeah the Chrome is sometimes plastic etc and the Home office is in Japan, But the grill on my F150 is plastic too, and Kawa employes alot of Americans. And the dash on this bike is very attractive. Ive seen one of these customized and it turned out really neat. I'd consider it.

 

I appreciate the support. I'm not going the Stan. The Army's mission is changing and Divisions are aligning with Geographic Commands, much like the Special Forces Groups. I'm going on the "Train your *** off and wait on something bad to happen" deployment. I don't mind not running around getting blown up by IEDs like my previous deployments.

 

Thank you for the service, my family wishes you luck.

Of the three, I'd go Road Glide for sure! That will be my next bike as I too hate making my bob do both...and I know my wife would like the road glide ultra better too than the bob.

I know a lot of guys with street glides and seem to love them, but none of those guys pour on the miles either. It seems the RG would just tour better and since your buying it for long distance, it makes sense.

Victory puts out a really nice bike so yeah, I'd ride one too to just to compare. I think you'd be impressed with the added horse power they have, especially with the heavy *** touring bike and a "weak" twin cam in it. But I love my harley so I'd just deal with the power myself personally.......and get a road glide!

 

The looks of the RG are growing on me.

 

You ride a Dyna...try a Road King...just saying..it's a thought

 

I have a lot of friends with Street Glides ... have a neighbor couple that both have Street Glides and love them ... they have got to be Harley's number one selling bike ...

I've done test rides on both Street Glide and Road Glide ... and although I was a little underwhelmed by both ... I'd go with the 'fugly' over the Street Glide ...

Thanks for 'taking one for the team' ... it is always nice to be able to get ahead a little financially after the hardship of the loss of consortium and society entailed by a deployment (wherever it takes you) ...

I would also like to thank you for your service.

I've owned several metrics in the past & one thing to consider is that most of them (not all) require valve checks/adjustments that are a PITA (depending on type of motor) to do yourself and expensive at the dealer.

Before purchasing my Dyna I decided I wanted to buy an American brand so considered Victory. What turned me away from Victory was:
1) Dealer network. Not as many dealers around for parts, support, maint., etc... & also the dealership you bought your Vic from today may not be a Vic dealer tomorrow. Don't know if this happens frequently but happened at the Vic dealer here in KC.
2) Resale value. Vics cost about the same as an HD new in many cases but depreciate at the metric rate. If you decide Victory I would buy used.

Just my 2 cents
