Since they're all equal, that makes the Road Glide the best.

A totally unbiased opinion from someone who just coincidentally has a Road Glide.

Actually, the thought that the RG has less weight on the handlebars is something interesting that I hadn't thought of.

 

I think the Road King Classic is the best looking bike HD makes, so you can't go wrong with that choice!

 

And yet you show a pic of a Road King Custom.....

I agree with the pic, the RK Custom is the best looking.....

 

Phew, glad you had the most unbiased opinion out there!

Actually I've heard the RG is the smoothest on the road, mainly because of the frame mounted fairing. I don't know if it's true though. The guy I bought my EG from has offered his Road Glide to take out, but I'm afraid that I'll like it too much and then really be in the hole for a bike!

 

Don't know really! First RKC I ever owned and definitely rides better than the rigid!

 

CASSETTE!!! BWAAAHAAA well I guess it beats trying to store all those 8 tracks....
One of my friends says the Ultra shakes like a queer eatin a hotdog at an idle but I just chalk it up to the bigger motor and once you crack the throttle it smooths right out....no complaints here, but that is just my unbiased opinion. Wish I had bought the Ultra years ago.

 

There is a difference between the suspensions on the touring bikes - roadkings use a conventional type (damper tubes) fork on both sides - those models with a fairing use a conventional type fork on the right side but use a damper cartridge fork on the left side. That said, I've never been able to feel much of a difference between touring models- they all ride great.

 

I knew someone would pickup on that! I LOVE my custom....but I still think the Classic is the best looking (but not by much)!

 

True true those damned 8 tracks were taking entirely too much space in the tour pac.

In all seriousness I made some recent adjustments in my life long love of motorcycles that I am hoping to be yet another chapter of memories. I tore it up most of my life but now in my 50's, kids gone I am looking for quality time for me and the Mrs. Your turns coming with any luck. In the mean time I encourage all you young studs to tear it up, give those coppers a reason, in a respectful manner of course.

Below is one of the 2 bikes I tore it up with all my youth. I sold it this past Jan/Feb. No regrets. I'm happy to have come out on the other end and in fairly okay condition (aside from a few knots and scars).

 

they are all built on the same chasis...it is the other comforts that will make the main difference, as mentioned....ie: radio, intercom, lugage space, or even how much bike is inbetween you and the elements.

I would suggest to look at the type of riding that you do, the amount of stuff you take with you and then get the bike that fits that equation. I would not get more bike than you need, you might not be happy if you end up doing more solo one day trips with an Ultra Classic as for example a RoadKing.

Just my .02
