Hey some folks like that badazz Goldwing style, I just call em Fugly, and yes I had one for a couple years.
Nuttin Fugly about it... I no longer have this bike, sold to fine gentleman from LA about 2 yrs ago but to this day it is, by far, the best riding bike I have ever had. And after the 21" wheel upgrade and a few other changes, I couldn't take it anywhere without 50 people standing around it wanting to talk to me about it. Not one of them ever said, why's it so fugly.
One guy did say, "what kind of bike is that, it looks like a car" when I had the tour pack on it.
Nice looking bike, but I can't stand the profile of that long, fixed, ugly fairing. This bike would look much better as a Street Glide (In MY opinion.) To each their own, some of us just have better taste than others...

LOL... I knew that was coming. I don't disagree. SGs are prettier for sure. I've had one of each and all things considered, the RG was the better bike though it was an SE and a 2012 vs my 2006 SG, which I loved and traded for the RG.
The RG though got too much attn for my taste. Wasn't comfy with my 40k "motorcycle" being poked and prodded everywhere it went. So I moved into what I feel is a better representation of my traditional likes in a bike (a 2003 RKC). Within a year a had to move back into the post-2008 Touring bikes to get the bigger frame, motor and gas tank. So I traded the 03 for a 2013 RKC which I have now. Couldn't be happier. Love the dress up/dress down ability of the RKC and the traditional style is a winner now, 50 years ago and likely 50 years from now, IMO.
