Hey, I dont know about the RK being a geezer glide LOL. I love mine and I'm ONLY 32. Anyway, in my honest opinion I think the RK is the least geezer looking touring bike, but I would really like to have a Street Glide. Bad A$$ bikes. I like the fairing and stereo. I like the King because I can put on or take off the windshield as I please. I added the apes and it's so much more comfortable than stock. I can ride all day now. Just my 2cents.

Not as well as a roadglide but with a stabilizer it seems alot better.

Road Glide was my choice and if I had it to do over again it would still be the Road Glide.
They are that good.

I can't say I've ever heard my RK referred to as a geezer glide. I've had nothing but younger guys (I'm 35) tell me how wicked my ride is and how they like the baggers now.

I almost consider a Super Glide or similar with the small windshield and add-on touring stuff to be more geezer than any of the touring models. The smaller bike "toured" out come across as somebody who is too cheap to just buy the right tool for the job - touring. It's sort of like an old man who refuses to ever buy a new car because "this one is just fine."

Thankfully there are enough accessories for any Harley that no bike should be a geezer glide unless you let it be.

PS - I love the Road Glides. My next ride is so going to be a Roadie.

I have a street glide and it rides great even in some pretty bad wind. I love it cause I can ride long distance have my stereo and doesn't look no offense but old manish as an ultra with the tour pack and fender lights etc
