I think he got the hint, but going to say it anyway, RG all the way. I do like the Ultra limited, but RG is the ****. Said no way will I buy an RG until I rode it. Then after my first highway long trip, not getting blown all over the road when passing a big truck and not realizing im doing 90mph, I got why these exist.

Back in March, I traded my 2013 Limited in on a 2018 Road Glide Ultra. I absolutely love this bike. My only dislike about the RGU are the payments.

A few of the guys I ride with moved from Ultra Limited to Road Glides and like them very much. Something very important to keep in mind with the Road Glides ....... the distance from your eyes to the infotainment screen is further away. With my "old eyes" that is a problem, so I stay with my Batwing. Also, the only complaint I hear from the Glide owners is glare on the info screen making it unreadable. This is a problem HD has not been able to correct.

Some of us knew the Secret a Long, long, long time ago when every cool **** was riding a Street Glide!

Funny thing now, those same folks said they would never ride a Shark.........

Rent one and give it an objective chance. Cant make an educated decision on a ride around the block.
