Default Road Glide, whats not to love about them!

Never rode the Shark until the day I rode off on my CVO Road Glide Ultra, one hell of a bike!

Can't agree more, had batwings for the last 10 years. Traded my 12 CVO Ultra for a 15 CVO RGU and could not be happier. These are great bikes especially on long road trips.

Pre-Rushmore I would agree with ugliness. But the new ones are really good looking in my opinion. They look more modern than the SG's, that's one reason why I bought the RGS instead of the SGS.

I don't find them ugly and I haven't found anything to dislike about in the last year if ownership. Since they don't and probably will never make a fxrt again this makes a pretty good substitution

I'm not against them but you guys are always trying to tell everyone that there the greatest thing since sliced bread, I like the looks OK but there not for me. I've rode 3 of them and the dash seems like it a mile away, heck I can't even reach the radio, good thing they have the switch on the handle bar. But I say to each his own, thats why HD makes so many different bikes to fit a lot of different people.
I could see a tall long armed guy liking it but I'm not that guy, sorry.

I don't care for the those RG things but you could always throw some bean bags at the radio if you don't want to use the handlebar switch. Why else do they come with a couple of bins with covers. Great for small bean bags.
