I recently tet rode a '10 Ultra and there really is a different feel between it and my 09 SG. But as others have said they still have the same general "glide" feel. If I had the option for 2 bikes my 2nd would probably be an 883 Iron, or if another bagger maybe a RG.

My EGC is my daily driver and I love it for that purpose. If I could have a second bike, what I would want would be either a Sportster 1200 or a Dyna. I love the 2009 Fat Bob.

I'm in the "why 2 batwing bikes" pool.

If it were me, and I already had an Ultra...my second bike would be either a Fat Bob, or the new Fatboy Lo. Never been much of a Heritage fan.

I have the 09 RG for road trips and the 06 SG for around town -- the SG is tossable in the streets more so than the RG -- that could be due to the wider 09 frame

I guess I don't understand the question.
You want a small frame, throw it around bike for an in town bike, but you want a highway bike to get you to town, right?

If it were me and you need a stable highway, yet kick *** in town bike, why not make you Tour Pak detachable, get a solo seat and ride that baby. It will give you a different attitude, yet still be a stable highway bike. Throw in some new custom rims and a short windshield and you've got what you want.

Default Second bike

I used to have a hardtail shovel with jockey shift and a stripped down dresser. I loved having two bike that were so different. I would ride one for a month or two and then ride the other. Everytime I traded I would really appreciate the better points of the one a switched to. My vote would be for as different as possible.

If I get a second bike again, I would probably have to build a soft tail chopper.

I still have my first harley purchased in 1995, a fatboy, which is perfect for around town ridding and god awful for long trips. Next was a 03 roadking which I tried doing the long roadtrips, found out not quite perfect for that. So... traded in for an 08 ultra glide for the trips, which is the perfect bike for long distances. If I was to have just one, it would be the roadking though. There just is not a perfect "do it all bike"
