Definitely becoming a bigger seller than it was .. If trade my Ultra, plan a test ride on one but doubt do the switch .. Keeping an open mind though ..

alas..... "the best kept secret" of Harley.... is now just about COMMON......

When I bought my bike.... you would see 148 HD's between each FLTR.... now I see them everywhere.

Used to be... you'd get a used RG for thousands LESS than a comparable Street Glide, EG standard, or Road King.....or??? at least MINE was.... as were the other ones I saw for sale.

guss I'll just keep what I have

You know, over here in the UK I have never seen a Road Glide in the wild.

Come to think of it, I'm not sure I've even seen one in a dealer!

Don't do it!!!

The fairing is a pain in the *** to put back on and align. (Unless you read the Manual) The Wellnuts keep falling inside of the fairing. And worst of all is the buffeting you get for you helmet wearers. Non-helment wears are not as affected. You're gonna change your windshiled at least (AND I MEAN) at least 3 times before you figure out which one fits best. And you can't reach the radio (LMFAO!!!)

(J/k)

With the popularity of Roadglides I guess I can fetch maybe a little more money for those jumping on the bandwagon.

Thanks suckas!!!

I'll second that, you don't see many bagger type bikes at all over here probably to expensive, between £17,000 - £23,000.

Yes. Seeing alot more of theme here in MD as well. A friend of mine has had his for 4 years. His was just about the only one i ever saw on the roads around here. Just the other day I was at a local bike friendly bar and there were 3 of them parked in the lot. Go figure.
