I have some buds who all got new HD bikes this year and not one of them considered for a second to get a RG. I tried to explain to them that it was smooth on the highway, handled decent and they should give it a chance. They all said the same thing, it is just not very good looking, that front end ruins it for them.They like the rest of the bike because it looks like many other touring models but they just could not get over that front end.
