Well I am swapping my RG front end to a SG front end but your right there are alot more on the road.

 

I've had 2 friends in the last year trade their bikes (softail, e-glide) for a FLTRX.

 

Fugly's are the new Street Glide (thank God)...

 

I think the whole Yaffe/Hot Baggers trend has kind of put these things on the map. At first I thought they were ridiculously ugly-no I like 'em. I think I succumbed to the mob mentality-or maybe I just discovered the latent coolness.

 

And don't forget, when you turn at night you can't see where you're going because the headlights don't turn with the front tire!!

 

Most European dealers do not get the RG's are part of their inventory, and only recently have a few shown up , mostly SE versions. Guess most are liking the unique front fairing. the Street Glide is still popular in North American market, but the softail still rules for pure looks and the Europeans' affinity for HD promoted culture, so would not expect that to change. Should have heard the groans from my Germans friends when I brought my Limited home..."Thats not a real Harley" they said ..LOL. I could care less, but made me laugh and I told them I would be wearing a big huge smile travelling on the big open highways across the country when I get back home. Must confess I did look twice at the RG, but did not go that model.

 

Great bike. White walls, big round lights and lots of chrome hanging off the bike looks dated.

 

I haven’t really noticed that many on the road around here. Personally I wouldn’t give up my Limited for a RG, what would be the benefit? Besides, why would I want to go from good looking to ugly?

 

I think the Road Glide thing just kinda happens! For instance...
Hell, even my Wide Glide bloomed into a road glide over the winter!
I thought something strange was going on under my bike cover.

 

What roadglides? Naw, its just your imagination..................
