Doubtful on the 120 but love the notion of trades. Sure do miss mine and can't wait to get another.

I wish HD would come out with an new version of the old FXRT, which had the fixed fairing.
Most comfortable HD I ever rode.

American Eagle Harley-Davidson in Corinth, Texas has a 2015 Vivid Black RGS with a 120ST. Tempting it is...

I don't regret it. Although I may trade/sell mine in favor of dual sport bikes. I need to get off-road.... It's been the best HD I've had so far (Sporty>Low Rider>Street Glide), and most comfortable.

Years ago I did the test ride thing to see...

Took me about 30 seconds to realize the greatness.

On my 2nd Road Glide now.
I did try a Street Glide a few weeks ago prior to the new RG purchase...

But once you appreciate what a RG feels like, it is too hard to switch.

But, I do love the look of an awesome street glide.
However, never having to deal with that weight of the fairing and the wind on it is very nice on the roady...

I love that commanding view over that massive fairing !

Biggest mistake ever was trading a RK for the RG !! Ugh. Could not get rid of that oddball turd fast enough.
Only good thing was a slightly more stable feel when passing a semi or in crosswind. turbulence was awful while riding. What a pile.






Just joking !! They are ok just not my thing.

I have had several E-Glides and RK's; I like the 2013 Road Glide Ultra for cross country touring.
