For what it's worth, I call HD dealerships across the U.S. daily (part of my job) and the Street Glide seems to be the biggest seller at many (not all) dealerships. It's probably a regional thing, but I would agree with the above posts, that the baggers have it, 2 to 1.

Default They Don't Provide specifics in Annual Report

H-D breaks out shipments of bikes, (that they register as 'Sales'), by segment, not specific models. But, all you have to do is look around to see that Street Glides and Road Kings probably out sell everything.

I can't wait to see their 2008 numbers.

It's whatever model you walk in and try to buy. The dealer will tell you "that's the biggest seller we have, you made a great choice"....
