Default Limited or Roadglide

I was gonna post this in the CVO section but there is more traffic here, here is my dilemma.... I have a 2015 CVO limited (I kinda wish I had bought the CVO Roadglide) and my dealer phones me up asking if I want to deal with a 2015 CVO Roadglide with a bit of cash my way. I will ride it on saturday, but I wanted to throw it out there.....Why should I jump into the tank?????

If you are doing a lot of "touring" you cannot go wrong with the RG. Best riding and handling bike I have ever rode. I am on my second RG and don't see me on anything else. The fixed faring handels so much better IMO. I would love to own a CVO. Maybe some day.

Personally, I wouldn't trade my '15 Limited for ANYTHING - including an even-trade for a '17 - not that that's a possibility.

I just can't get past the looks of a RG, but that's just me.

Get the Road Glide! Those things are rare and unique. You never see anyone riding a new RG and if you do, you'll know that they are special and truly appreciate all that a motorcycle can be.

i got a 2017 RGU. Great bike. Love the fixed fairing. Rides like a Caddy and pulls like a freight train.

Not loving the seating position, but I'm coming from a 2006 Wide Glide. My knees seem to be above my hips. I'm considering an Air Hawk.

Good luck with your decision. I'm happy with mine.

I went from a Limited to the Road Glide. Wish I did it awhile back.

NO way trade for me - but that's me.... its your choice or do you want 'us' to make that for you??? There are EG people and RG people - it really is your choice - life is short.
