Okay, I currently ride an 05 SuperGlide that I really like for the around town stuff. Beginning to look at a bagger because my wife prefers a slightly more plush / protected ride, plus I want to be able to carry enough stuff for a long weekend. Soliciting opinions on the best buy for the buck touring HD. Not sure if I will keep the SG so this bike may also serve as the around town hopper. I will tell you I am leaning to an Electra Glide Classic. Cost is not a driver, but I don't want to spend if it doesn't add value.

Thanks in advance...Todd

 

Get the Ultra Classic.

 

Best bang for the buck IMO is the classic and just add thecruise control option. But I ride a Road Glide, go figure.

 

This is what I did. Got the eg classic.Absolutely knew I had no use for intercom,rear speakers,and cb. Liked the more streamline look as well(no funny lookin lights on back&smooth tank hood). Went and installed cruise and lowers.

This is just me though.

 

I personally found the Electra Glide Classic to have all I needed in a tourer. The Ultra had a lot of options I did not need or want so I got the EGC and added cruse control and we are very happy with our decision.

 

I ride solo and the EG Classic has everything I need except Cruise Control. If you are going to ride a lot with your wife, the Ultra might be a good option. She is sure to like the intercom and rear stereo speakers.

I got the Classic and was going to add stuff later.....Just get the Ultra, You won't regret it..Its worth the extra $2k

 

Whoops,
Don'tget me wrong , The Classic is a great ride!!!!

 

Any Harley Touring Model you can't go wrong

 

I love my Ultra and am glad I paid the extra bucks to go that route. But if it's about the money probably the best touring bike for the bucks is a Gold Wing, I just didn't happen to like it.
