Looking to buy a touring moddle. I have rented EG and SG but for some reason the Road Glide has my attention. I plan to rent a RG in 2 weeks. Talking to a lot of HD Mechanics and owners about the touring bikes and from what I hear the RG is the one to buy.

Any feedback here pro or con on the RG vs the other touring models?

Also any feedback as to the 2009 vs 2010 RG? I think I like the 2009.

Thanks

 

I rode a guys RG and it was nice at high speed. I also rode a Street Glide and it was nice at high speed. I ride a Fatbob and you know what, its, nice at high speed also. The one draw back with the RG is it,s looks. The front fairing looks bizarre, reminds me of a coffee dispenser. If looks are important get something else but otherwise they all are as comfy as you want it to be.

 

Oh geez. Here we go again.....

 

I prefer the Electraglide......lol

you're right here we go again

 

RG is the best bike in the whole world.

 

Sorry but it is what it is, or looks like. Coffee ,I,ll take mine black.

 

I've said it before and I'll say it again. There are certain Harley's I don't particularly care for but I don't feel the need to go and bash those models anytime somebody starts a thread about them. The only reason I would feel the need to do that would be if my ***** was a mere 2" and I felt the need to insult other's choices in order to compensate for my own lack of manhood.

....carry on.

 

Man are you sensitive or what. The OP asked and I told him the truth. Why don,t you tell the OP your opinion of the RG , no you have to insult posters because of what they think a bike looks like to them.If it makes you feel better it looks more like a capucino machine.

 

My indy always told me the Road Glide was the best touring bike......like others have said ....the look of the bike isn't my cup of tea.....but that doesn't mean it's any less of a bike than my Ultra......

whatever floats your boat....that's what owning a Harley is all about.....there are a lot bikes out there that i wouldn't never even think of buying but i am sure the guys riding them would never buy one like mine.

Buy what you're most comfortable on and the one that has the options you want...

 

From all I've read and heard, the RG is a really good touring bike that handles better than the SG in high winds. I could see myself owning one if I ever got rid of my RK, which I won't.
