I've owned Kings, Ultras, and Glides. I have to vote for the Glide

I'd say King, or the second bike.. Biased...sure. I don't care about the tunes. The big windshield is enough for me. Have been told if I was touring through the rain I would want more up front, tho.

If you happy with what you got, 2nd bike might be the plan? How often you do 2 up? I often think I would like an "attitude" 2nd bike. For the cross towns or just to go zip on?

Been on a RG since 2009 and would never go anywhere else. My only regret is work getting in the way with riding.

It is cheaper and easier to turn a Limited into a Street Glide than to turn a Street Glide into a Limited.

I have an 09 SG that is modded exactly the way I want it. Beside the tour pak speakers its pretty much done. I love this bike and don't ever plan on getting rid of it. If I were to add to the stable with a new bike it would be the new RG. I rode my buddies and it was a perfect fit for me. He's got that blue color and it looks sweet.

I walked through a showroom yesterday. I didn't like any of the bikes. I don't like the mail slot in the fairing. I like the old looking gauges, like on my '03, and you can't get them on any model now.
The slot fits with the road glide, but I don't like the view from the seat. I will just stick with my bike, unless they come out with a real Ultra again.
The new bikes look cheap, until you check their price. They cost as much as a Mustang, which seems bizarre.

Just went from 2007 sg to rgs. Rgs is just a better bike in every aspect. I have not had a chance to ride new sg but I'm sure u couldn't go wrong with that either. I say keep ur bike and get a rgs and call it option E.

I'd keep the 120r and Fat Boy. However, a CVO Springer would be better.
