Hey guy, I went to Lorn-horn HD today. I sat on a couple of bike, these are the three I try.

1. Dyna wide glide
2. Road king
3. Street glide

I like the feel but i wondering which one is better. This bike is going to be everything bike. I like to cruise around town, and maybe a trip to Austin from Dallas. I like the chopper/bagger look.

 

Did you check out the fat bob?
They handle really well around town , on twisty back roads, and add bags to do some light touring.

I wouldn't rule it out with out a test ride. I'm glad I didn't

 

road king all the way. reason is the road king is the "do everything" bike that harley makes. it makes a good tourer, good town bike, good stripped down, dressed up, blank slate.

the wide glide is a great bike, but if your planning on long rides there are better options.

the street glide is a great bike, but around town (for me) the fairing is a visual hinderance. plus it's heavy and just doesn't suit me for in town rides.

the road king will do it all. now i ride a heritage and love it. to me it handles better than a king, rides just as good (i don't ride 2 up tho), and is great for what i need (under 300 mile trips). my brothers road king tho is a pleasure on the highway and if i did more touring i would have one myself.

 

My first Harley was a Wide Glide. I put some leather saddle bags and a detachable windshield on it and was very happy with it for every day riding. After I started taking longer and longer trips, I moved into the touring bikes. It really depends on what type of riding you plan on doing and what feels comfortable to you.

 

I'll always lean toward a Street Glide. The profile of that bike is just awesome.

 

beside the fairings and radio what is the difference between road king and street.

 

I think the Road King has a more suspension travel on the rear than the SG has.
That low look came with a price.

 

Also, don't you lose the adjustable air-ride suspension on the Glide?

 

Like others have said,"They call it the King for a reason".

 

Easy choice for me SG, but I'm a fairing guy.
