Default Test drove a Road Glide today...

I drove a new 08 Road Glide today...Pretty nice....I liked the way you can throw it in a curve compared to the EG Classic. I think i have found my next bike...I will see if they have one in 2010...

MOCO will likely bring the fixed fairing FL back in 2010 under another name, like TourGlide. If a company is to keep a trademark name, they have to use it every so often or risk losing it. I'm thinking HD will make this a RoadGlide with a king tourpak and lower fairing, intercom, etc. and who knows about a different engine. Would be a wild play on the market if they finally dropped the Revolution engine in there.
End of July. first of August will tell the tale................

I just bought a 2 year extended warranty for the 07 so i want to keep it to about 60K miles then sell it and get something new. I will evaluate the situation then..

If you like the way the 08 handles you will love the way the 09 RG handles.

I'm not crazy about the fixed fairing, myself, although I've never ridden a RG. Do you like it? --- the fairing, that is.
