There NO such thing!!!

I've put just shy of 190,000 miles on my first and second Road Glides since October 1999.

Try one, you'll like it!

 

I've owned both an EG and a RG, and IMO, the RG is a much better touring motorcycle. I understand that "looks" come into the equation when purchasing a bike, so people may lean one way or another because of differences in the fairing. But the RG handles so much better at slow speeds, in the twisties and at high speeds, there really is no comparison in the overall ride.

 

Yes, I traded my 09 Ultra for a 13 RGU. I disliked the distance from where I sat to the windshield. Wind buffeting was tiresome.

Folks said get a Madstad shield, so I did. FUGLY but sort of worked.

Handle bars were also uncomfortable, so I put on 10 inch mini apes. Helped a bunch.


But when I saw a used '12 CVO Street Glide that RGU was toast.

At least I've ridden one, but I'll stick with my batwing.

 

Disappointed that I did not buy a RG sooner; bought a 13RGU and use it for long distance touring and its awesome.

I changed the windshield to a Madstad, installed Heritage RK bars with heated grips and then installed a police seat.

It's seriously Ugly and seriously awesome.

 

Went from a RG to the SGS. Maybe it's me, but one of the reasons I like the SGS is the stability at parking lot speed. On the highway nothing can touch the Roadie. But in town, I much prefer the batwing. I think there's a reason motorcops ride a batwing and not the RG.

 

Very soon, you will see Motorcops enjoying the Shark!

If I'm correct, it should be released as a 2016 model year.

Went from a SGS to a RGU CVO could not be happier. The RG is so much more comfortable. Comparison would be a Cadillac to a VW Bug. That is the difference on how everything feels wide open on the RG

 

I'm partial to the TR's myself. use to have five bikes in the barn, I'm down to two now and they're both roadglides.

I wouldn't have it any other way.


Ride On

 

How is the rain protection for the rider & passenger with the windscreen out as far as it is? With a shield like on the new Ultra.
