I don't know if "finding my bike in a crowd" would be the motivation to buy or not buy a particular bike. How often do you find yourself in that big of a crowd unless at a rally or an HD Birthday bash. Last August finding your bike amongst 55,000 other bikes at Miller Park was a bit of a challenge.....ride safe whatever you end up with.

 

I just purchased a 09 RG Screaming Eagle. I to was battling which bike I should get. What leaned me to the RG was the fact that it does feel roomier & that everyone at the dealership traded in their SG's for RG'S.
Both bikes are almost identical, but I have yet to see someone trade in their RG for a SG, but you see a lot of people trade in the SG'S for RG's.
The owner of the dealership was selling his 09 SG & went back to riding a RG. Good Luck, they are both great machines!

 

I was @ Harley's 2010 unravling. They have 2010 RG's. they just didn't make a Screaming Eagle road Glide in 2010.

 

Road Glide.

 

FLTRI

frame mounted fairing
more room in the cockpit
effortless stability on the road
cruise control ..... well, pre '10 anyway

 

Had a 05 roadglide 40,000 miles and traded for an 09 streetglide. I'm going back to the roadglide...theres no comparison. Roadglide doesn't get the wind buffeting and is much easier to manuver,, dives into corners...cant say enough good about it.

 

eiter is a good choice.

 

For the limited test rides, I prefer the steet glide slightly more open feeling you get with the different front end treatments. But I also prefer the King wo the front windshield.

 

I had a Roadglide, then started loving the looks of the Streetglides and bought a 2008 Streetglide last year. Although I slightly like the looks of the SG better I immediately noticed how inferior the handling and ride was on the SG compared to my Roadglide and my Roadglide was an 03 without any new technollogy. If I was looking for a local bike I would get a streetglide, but they are a dime a dozen now. I just bought an 09 Roadglide and with a few options, remove the headlight bezel and smoked windshield it looks sharp. I forgot how great the ride was on the roadglide, I cannot ride it enough. I hate to admit it but I use to own a goldwing, not proud of those days and I would say the ride is comporable. Nothing rides like the roadglide for comfort, handling and cornering. The street is lowered and I scraped boards in the corners, I can lean the RG much further. The rg is a bike people love or hate the looks. They are both great bikes, if you do long distance, go RG. If you ride local with a few long rides, go with the looks you like best.

 

sharp bike!
