I'm heading out on vacation this weekend and I'm going to rent a bike for a few days to log ~750 miles.

I was thinking of getting a street glide (as I've never tried one), but I'm wondering if a heritage may be a more comfortable ride?

Thoughts?

 

Depends on what you are used to.

There is a saying in the used car biz "there's an a$$ for every seat". It holds true to bikes. We all like something different.

 

The Heritage will get you where you're going with no problems. The main difference being the Heritage will get you there and you'll more-than-likely be exhausted. The SG will get you there in comfort.

 

I don't see how anyone would be worn out on heritage considering I've done plenty of 500 mile trips on a stock rocker-c seat w/ no problem and still ready to party when I get there. I guess everyone is different though and I am only 27 so I'll probably be singing a different tune in 10yrs.

Me personally, I'd go with something totally different than what you ride at home. Might as well use the opportunity to do something new.

 

+1 on getting something different. 750 miles on a Heritage is nothing. But if you have a Softail and want to try the bagger...go for it. It's only a weekend and it's worth seeing how you like the ride. At worst...you'll decide you really don't want a bagger ever. That's why I don't have one. Rode a buddies for a weekend and it was a nice ride. But boring. And now I know I love the Softails.

 

2010 Street Glide. Updated frame, 180 rear tire, and upgraded 5th gear. Dont forget about the Tunes!!!! Be sure to share your experience with us.

+1 x!

 

Get the SG.

 

Street Glide for sure....unless you really want to go all out, then go for the Ultra Classic E-Glide
