I think your going to be very happy. I did like most, went from sportster to Dyna then to my 11 RK. I love my new RK, but I still have a soft spot for Sportsters.
Yeah me too

I've got some friends with sportsters, they will never ride on the highway with me, let alone a long distance ride.

Congrats! I rode a rigid sportster chopper from 93 to 06 and swore Id never ride anything else till I found a woman that liked riding as much as me. So we looked at a used Road King and took it for a ride............$9000 later we took it home! I like it so much Ill never sell it. The chopper? I dumped it immediatly! Never looked back.

I loved the 2009 Deluxe, but my wife said she was tired of riding on the back and wanted it for her own. She looked at Sportys and decided to get comfortable on the Deluxe (she's doing great).

Forced me to look at all the options and last week bought a 2009 Road King Classic. Felt very strange at first so I bought a new seat for it, which is terrific. After 2 weeks it now feels great. The RKC will also be perfect for 2-up when she doesn't feel like riding her own bike.

Great thing is I can ride a low, lighter, fun bike for short hops...

I loved my Sporty but I found myself not looking forward to riding any type of long distance. After a day of riding I would be completely worn out.
So I test rode a Streetglide and immediately loved it. I was really impresesed with the handling and how comfortable it was.

Made the deal today and they are holding it for me.

White Hot Denim with cruise control, ABS, and security system.

I'll post picks when I pick it up Friday or Saturday.

I'm looking forward to learning allot about baggers and the Streetglide in general.
Now I can't wait to do my first long ride.

Well it's about time, we've been wonder where you were. Welcome to the forum.

Congratulations, and welcome to the bagger world. Just to get things straight, are we actually calling Sportsters motorcycles now? lol

Hecklerboy\, I took a longer ride to the baggers. Started on the sporty, went to the fatboy and then the standard.

I can say this, once and a while I miss my sporty and pounding the corners on that 1200.

But, I love the bagger more.
