As soon a Harley makes a touring bike that doesn't have 40 lbs of plastic crap filled with electronic garbage, bolted directly over the front tire, and blocking the view of the road, this debate will have merrit. Oh wait, they do. It's called a Road King and it handles better than either fairinged bike. Ha!
So true. My I add it looks like a motorcycle not a bunch of plastic.

Lots of opinions here.... But I totally agree with this summary. Right on the money. Thanks.
the vote is in. Street glides outsell road glides 35 to 1. For every road glide that is sold worldwide, 35 street glides are sold. ( nah!, previous statement is BS,,,sorry )lol.
35-1? Really? Wow !!!!
HD's gotta be lookin' at that.
Go to ANY dealer (around here) & the floor is nothin' but RG's & SG's.
(10-15 ea) A few Ultra's & CVOs.
"Maybe" one Heritage & a few Dyna's and a Road King or two.

To me my road glide seemed to ride a little smoother but I didn't care for how far the fairing felt away from me sat on a Rushmore road glide and it felt even further away.
seems like the road glide is a good fit for our 6' and up brothers.
that doesn't make sense. one of the new fairing changes actually was to bring the fairing 1-1/2 inch closer to the rider..... but, your negative is my positive. I didn't like how close the fairing was on a batwing. I much prefer the open cockpit of the rg. oh, i'm 5'4'' too.

great. hope they keep on that way. I liked it when I had the only 'fugly' in the parking lot. now there is 10-15 of them. but, still better than the 200 black streetglides out there.... (now where I did I park my bike?)

SKRATCH,
Love the fact that Rigs like your and mine are soooo easy to find in a "Sea of Black" Street Glides!
I agree, the "TANK" is being over filled with new Sharks! Where were all the guys before the PreRUSHEDmores?
I really prefer the looks of the SG, but I have to admit, when I pulled up to my HD dealer the other day, there were a sea of used SG's sitting out front, and only one RG.
Sure did like it when mine was the only one I saw while out riding for the day.
Now the newer models are traveling in herds....
My '08 still makes me smile, and thats all that counts in my book !!!
