Default 2010 Road Glide or Street Glide ?

I like both of these, and Im just wondering, which one is better at handling the wind, Long distance open road comfort. Are there any advantages one has over the other ?

Thanks

I just bought a 2010 Road Glide today and loved every 140 miles home. I had owned a 2008 street glide and it was a great bike!!!!!! I went to the dealer and and rode both the street glide and road glide. I went back again with a 10 inch winvest windshield for the road glide and that was it. I didn't need to ride the street glide again. The road glide carves through the turns like you wouldn't believe. Sure there is some wind that the lowers may help out with, but it isn't a car. My buddy stopped by on his 2009 ultra. He sat on the road glide and thought it was wierd that the fairing was fixed. After taking it on a test ride he said he wished that he would have ridden a road glide before he bought the ultra. The best thing to do is demo ride both bikes. Everyone has their own preferance. The looks of the road glide grew on me after awhile and I like the fact that it is not as popular as the street glide. This forum was very helpful with me making a decision.

Road Glide all the way. The only bike I might trade my bike for is the much awaited Road Glide Ultra.
