Why does Harley make this so difficult
Had a 07 Street Glide and sold it a couple years ago. Have demoed both the 2015 Street Glide and Road Glide. While both are so similar they do ride different. Of course they both look amazing and each has their own merits.
I ride seldom more than a couple hundred miles from home. Usually to work, on the highway and at nights on the back roads.
Harley sure makes deciding tough.

I demoed a RG last year. When they bring their fleet to ride, why not right? I really like what they did with it. Their were only two things I didn't like (being very picky). First, I felt like I was looking out over the hood of a car, but I'm probably just used to the batwing. The other small thing I noticed was that the display on the stereo got washed out in bright sunlight depending on the angle. I was on a special, maybe the 4.3" screen on the standard won't have the same issue. Good luck picking, they are both winners!!

I've heard so many say once they bought a RG they would never go back to a batwing bike , guess not everyone feels that way .

For me they have a nice balanced sound. Like advertised they have a nice note when running on the highway, but they will bark if you get on it.

I had an 07 Street Glide customer out. I now have a 2015 RGS and am in the process of costuming it out. I am over the SG due to the fact I see so many of them. I love the ride of the RG , but probably because it is so new and refined. The radio does wash out in direct sunlight, but so did my SG head unit. It's your bike, ride what you want not what others like. Good Luck
I'm not one of the guys that uses the word "never" so..But good point. I got tired of reaching for the radio and lack of fairing/wind protection.
