I had a RG and traded for Ultra. I test rode all Rushmores and decided I didn't like so much bike in front of me. These bikes are easily test ridden, go do it. See which one you like.

 

Had an 08 Street Glide and went with a 2015 RGS and couldn't be happier! I did put on the deflectors along with vented lowers and a Klockwerks flare. This is the best touring bike I've ever had, very smooth and low turbulence behind the faring. I used to call them Fuglies until I rode one

I'd like to see the FXRT fairing on the front of the Dyna Switchback.
With an upgraded radio, of course!

Having said that, no regrets about my Road Glides. Put 136,000 on the first one, have 56,000 on the second one currently.

 

2016 will not only intro a 120" type motor, but the MoCo will have a Five-0 version Road Glide coming out too.

Now cops will be diving into the "Tank"!!!


AND: Best motorcycle that I have very owned!

No regrets what so ever.....
Bought my '08 without ever setting on any harley,
let alone taking one for a test ride !! So I have no comparisons to offer.
94k miles later and I still smile when pulling out of the driveway.
I will be buying another RG for my retirement riding in a couple years.

 

I ride a 2009 RG.....love this bike. Had an Ultra before but the RG is a blast to ride in comparison. Love the spacious cockpit and the light feel of the handlebars ! I plan on keeping this bike forever.

 

I have a 2011 Ultra Limited with lots of extras, what would the main differance be between the RG & Ultra?

 

Not sure why everyone is so ga-ga over the 120ST. Build the engine you have into a monster that will shame the ST. Kevin Baxter knows how to build engines!

My '80 Tour Glide (grandpa of the RGs) is a sweetheart to ride distance. With all the changes that were created into that new line in 1980. I took a 2015 RG out a few months back and found a very, very nice update of my bike (35 years later). It is much more sophisticated with a few nice feature updates, longer legs (6 speed), more power (110 vs 80), but not enough change to make me yearn for a new one. I will say that the biggest difference was the windshield. It allows much more wind in your face than mine does so that would have to change to something taller for long distance or interstate riding.

One thing I forgot to mention was the riding the batwing the one time I did ride one was like having the seat too close to the steering wheel in a car.. I like the roominess of the TG/RG. Some may find that it is disorienting at first, but you will grow to love it quickly.

 

Oh I did not buy it Mike, those are just pictures the salesman sent me over the phone saying they got a RGS set up with a 120ST. I think it was 33 or 34 g's asking price he said. I myself would be perfectly happy with a well tuned stage 1 103.
