Default SG, RG, or Ultra?

can't make a decision. i know they all will ride like a caddy. i like the street glides "hot rod" looks, the road glides fairing is growing on me, and the ultra has more "goodies".
can you guys jump in with opinions and pros/cons of each model?

I would say rent them too and see what tickles your fancy. I went with the Ultra and I ain't looking back - ever. My Ultra doesn't have any cons.

I have a Street Glide. I love it, and think it's the best bike for me, wouldn't trade it for a Ultra or RG, but I also own a Cadillac and my SG does not ride like a caddy

My Street Glide is the bike for me. We do not take long trips only 2 or 3 nighters so I don't need allot of carrying capacity. I did order lower fairings for my bike to help with the wind. My next bike may just be a Ultra and I can remove what I want to give almost the Street Glide look and still have all the goodies to put back on when I need them.

Went through the same issue but the RK was not part of the equation NO TUNES! I choose the UC I can always work my way back down to a SG was my thought but I would not go there now. I have taken the bag gaurds and bumbers off put wheels and lots of cool crap to where I love the ride the look. To go from a SG to the UC your going to spend some serious bucks to get there when you really look into the math. To each his own you will get it nailed down just take your tie if your not sure.

I had a softtail (classic springer) when I bought my SG. Was gonna keep both. After a few weeks on the SG I took the softtail out. For 5 miles before returning home and selling it.

Love my SG. If I was to trade it in on a new one it would be a different color SG.

Give it a little bit and you'll have a Road Glide Ultra to throw in the mix
