I'd rather have an '09 FLTR, than a '10 FLTRX.... but then again.... I think that's why HD has 5 "families" and several models in each family.... something for (almost) everyone.
Personally, I'm glad the FLTR isn't the most popular model...... bike stands out in a crowd.... doesn't get lost is a sea of "look-alikes"

Already owning a 03 Super Glide,
I was looking for the best touring model so that the wife and I could both have the most comfort on long trips, (she hated riding on the FXD, to cramped),
I found the stability of the fame mounted fairing in winds and crosswinds to be the deciding factor in my choice,
Added the extras to Ultraize the bike and also added the Road Zeppelin Air Seat,
The 2010 is a nice custom looking ride, but the lowered suspension is not the ticket for my requirements,
Don't like the 2 into 1 exhaust either, not on a touring model,

while my RKC is getting some TLC at the dealer. First of all I had a black Street Glide reserved, but the Rental Dude messed up. The RG I have/rented is bone stock, a 2010 with 2225 miles on it. As most of us know, the RG is the ugly duckling of the Harley family. What I did not like at all was the fairing. All it does is hold a stereo and direct all bugs in my face. What's up with the 1 inch windsheild? Going down the freeway on a 2-l stock muffler at 60/70 mph, forget about listening to the radio. The stock seat is extremely hard. It does corner better than my RKC, but that was the only thing that I have noticed that is "better". And so much for the theory black is faster, my RKC is much faster I don't know what you guys see in a RG,, my .02 worth

I have been trying to figure out what a RG looks like and you have hit it right on. A GOLF CART!
