Pros & cons of street glide vs road glide

Have 2 RG's now and actually considered buying a SG for the 2nd bike until I rode 2 of my friends SG's, and there is no comparison, in corners, at high speed, or in comfort due to the room in the cockpit. My buddy and I switched up for a few hours on a ride and his comment was "wow" and my comment was "can I have my bike back?"
The SG is a fine looking bike at all angles but for pure riding and handling, there is no comparison.

I love my Roadglide. Handles so much better in the wind, attracts attention, I added a tourpak to mine Ive owned it 2 years and have put over 28000 miles on it, great for long trips, comfortable and just cool. I'm "inseam challenged" but i can sit flat footed with no lowering kit. BTW people will tell you they don't like it when the headlights don't turn when you do....Just remind them "I hate it when my CAR does that too!" RoadGlide...best bike Harley ever built in my opinion!

1st yhing out of everyones mouth is the lights dont move. Think about how often you turn your bars. Unless youre in a parking lot or making u-turns its not very often. My buddies have let me ride there street glides but the dash is in my face. Like the roadies better cuz the fact that the dash isnt directly in my face. Its a more open feel. Other than the fairings they are pretty much the same. Road test both and make your decision cuz after all youre the one footing the bill. Whatever your choice my be ride safe.

For as many times as the Road Glide riders hear about the non turning headlights us Street Glide riders hear about the dash being in your face. Both arguments are pretty lame in my opinion but to each his own, I will stick with my Street Glide thank you very much.
And your results are???
