First. The 07 will have the 6th gear - cruise drive... and that's damned nice.
Second. You may have cruise control on the RG. There's a whole lot of empty out there you have to ride through.. (think Nevada) and the cruise control really is sweet when you're rolling through it.
Third. A fairing is a nice thing to have when you are roaring through a thunderstorm or a swarm of bugs..
All that said though.. either bike is fine. Since you already HAVE the softail, I'd stay with that.

Had an Ultra... traded it for a Softail Deuce..... hated it...

Since these pics had been taken I have lowered the rear 3 or so claimed inches and put a 10" smoke shield on it...

WTF??? you could tour on a Honda 250 Rebel.....it ain't the bike... buy what YOU want, because it pleases you.... not because of a result from a poll on this.... or any forum.
No one but you is gonna pay for it.... or ride it..... may as well be your choice.
I always thought the FLTR was "the ugliest bike HD ever made"..... but it's "funny" you never notce it's looks when you are riding it.....
