I traded my Road King in for mine. I love it! Just got back from a 2200 mile trip up to the mountains. This motorcycle can climb!

I just traded my Limited for a '12 CVO RGC, the performance of the bike in the wind was the biggest thing for me. The shark nose fairing makes that much of a difference. All the rest of the CVO goodies don't hurt either.

People have been asking this a lot. My analogy is with a RK, as before the Limited I owned a RK and this is my first RG. With the RG you get more "air" on you, like when I rode the king, but it's not buffeting, it's actually refreshing, on a hot day the batwing can get warm quick. I'm 5'11 and thus far the windshield is fine, I will see how it goes as I put more miles on the bike. My glasses and helmet were not shaking at any speed and the radio is crystal clear.

bubbarh1212,
I went from an '07 FLHTCU (Ultra Classic) to an '09 FLHTK (Ultra Limited) to an '11 FLTRUSE (CVO Road Glide Ultra). I can say without a doubt that there is a big difference and the Road Glide is a fantastic ride. The biggest difference is out on the highway. I find myself looking down and seeing that I'm doing 80 and it doesn't even feel like it. It's so comfortable at speed. And a more subtle difference is that it handles better even at lower speeds. The steering is lighter and you can "throw it around" a lot easier if that makes sense.
