I would choose the FXRT as the best all around Harley ever made.

I had a 125 Rapido Italian Harley back in the early 70's. I would rate that as the worse Harley ever made....Just saying...LOL

Take it for a 2 week tour, running 350 to 500 mile days, with luggage and your OL in the back, and throw in some rain, and then tell us how “best all around it is”. Your’s is a nice bike, but far from “best all around”. For that, I’d second the Road King nomination.

Edit: oh yeah, and with that Front rake you won’t be doing the tight twisties we’ve been on even in San Diego county. And with no turn signals, and a barely visible brake light ( if you have one)...I certainly would ride it in any traffic. And after an hour of riding with that exhaust, your ears will bleed.

Carry on now...

Lol...well let me be honest here. I come from a racing background and will ride my deuce w anytime anywhere. The whole rake bs is bs. Rode plenty of 21s and 23s and would smoke 95% of the ultra riders out there lol. Anyways that was funny

We typically ride 200 250 miles a day. Now I do have to fuel up about 10x but w the legends air ride and seat shes good.

The loudness being a high compression motor and street sweepers n cams it's very loud no doubt. That we can agree on. Ear plugs

sounds like you need to get out and ride some other bikes because your thoughts and views are as those typical boomers.

If I wanna ride around the us I have my glide as well.

I know a lady that has toured all of the Americas on a Vespa. Does that make it the best all around bike?
