Had a 2011 superglide custom for almost 3 years,put tons of money in it trying to make it a Road King. Finally gave up and traded for a 2014 Road King. Love it ,just wish it was warmer out so I could ride it more. 38* the other day and my fingers were freezing after an hour. 46* today , maybe I'll give it a try..

Don't tell anyone else, but visit your local BMW bike dealer. They sell excellent winter gloves to keep your fingers warm, mine even have Harley-racing orange coloured liners!

New XLCH in 78, Traded up for my Superglide in 81. Rode the wheels off the glide, rebuilt it and let it go in 1996. I paid $5300.00 brand new for the SG and sold it for 7k, Thats resale value folks! Then I was absent from bikes till 2009 when I built a rigid Evo, Found a Pan I liked in California and brought it home. Those rigids were cool bikes but I wanted to really ride again, and sold the Evo. Last spring I went to Harley and said WOW, these things are up to 103 now! I wanted the FL front end, boards and bags. Came home with a FLD. Big mistake, Traded it off for my 2014 Road King and have found it to be everything and more than I wanted, I love my RK.

Over the past 17 yrs went from ZX-10 to BMW R1100s now to a '14 Street Glide…which, IMO, is an unbelievable motorcycle! Absolutely love this bike!

Been racing and riding 160rwhp bikes all the to 430rwhp bikes since I was in my teens and dirt bike racing in elementary days. Decided didn't have time anymore because of family and my hot rods so I sold my last 430rwhp Hayabusa and starting my 40's out with a bang! Bought a new 14' SG and I'm in love no regrets at all....

How the HELL do you get 430 horses to the rear wheel of a Busa? How would you hold on to that thing?

I recently got a 2012 Street Glide. Don't know if it counts but had a Road King about 14 years ago. Love both except the shocks are very harsh.
