I'd get the redhead. After that, I couldn't afford the airplane.

 

Road glide!!!!!

 

I'd keep the sporty, and add a RG Ultra or Ultra Classic.......Because the OL wants the storage & the seat she can fall sleep in while we're out riding.

 

That's why I have an Iron 883/1200 and a Street Glide, best of both worlds and no need for more.. All I need is a tour pack on my SG and thats it, I may opt for a luggage rack sooner or later.. Overall, I'm happy. Iron is the PERFECT city bike, fun bike and the SG is the main tour rider...

 

I have the money, but don't want a bigger HD. In fact I just got a 2006 Suzuki C50 and stripped it down, love the looks and it rides nice, but it does not handle like my Sporty. I love most HD's but sportys are what I like to ride.

 

I could pay cash for a new SG if I wanted but I can't justify throwing 21k away for a bike designed to travel in a straight line on the interstate. We all know that HD's are way overpriced but that doesn't keep us from buying and riding them. Ever try to back up your sporty on an incline? Sometimes i have issues with my near 600lb 883r. No way i could do that with a hd tourer and im an ox strength wise. Now if i had money to waste id own a Sporty, Fat Bob, Softail Deluxe and a Streetglide. I still think Sportsters are the best looking, best performing, best sounding, best handling bike Harley makes be it old or new.

I ride 20 miles a day commuting to work and back and run about 100 or 200 miles a day on weekends hunting corners. That makes the Sportster my perfect bike.

 

Have you ever rode one? They make touring more practical, can be ridden in worse road/weather conditions, and can be used on days when you need to do shopping. And they handle pretty damn good once you get used to the weight.
Why do people have to rip on other's rides?

I won't be getting another bike, as long as mine works fine. I have too many other things I need in life. If I won the lottery and could fulfill all my wishes, I would get another FLHTCU. Just to try the new ones, and have ABS.
And I would like an original Then Came Bronson 1969 Sportster. Loved that show.

 

I have always wondered why some big bike HD owners feel the reason why the rest of us buy a sporty is because we CAN'T afford bigger? I would venture to say there maybe some in that boat but not all of us. If I got an extra $10 to $15k Free, I would drop about a grand more into my bike and about another $3k in the house to complete my ongoing upgrade. The rest I would stuff into the bank. If the day comes when I feel I no longer want my sporty and I want something different, I will trade it in or sell it then buy what I want.

 

It's does have to do with money for me. Yes i have the money and would love a SG, but i just can't justify spending $20000 on something i'm lucky to be able to ride for 5 months out of the year here in NH. I guess i'm frugal.

 

I have a xl1200c, a super glide, and a ultra classic. They all have there goods and bads. None as comfortable as the ultra. But to be honest the super glide is right down the middle with comfort and handling.
