Sorry I'm not sure what you meant by this.

But I know at some point I'll get one. Buddy of mine just picked up a used but very nice looking RG. It just looks so convenient in terms of storage and comfort.

I got a king and a Softail. I don't do long distance rides either, but I got the king for riding with ol lady. More room and comfort than my breakout.

Now that I totally agree with on a seriously biased basis. It was purely the badass look that did it for me, I just had to get one, nothing else in the range came even close.



Whilst I don't do touring or pillion and for those madder moments I bagged myself another iconic American made steed.
