The best thing to do is rent & ride....buy the one you like. Dealers will knock off the cost of one day rental on the one you buy.

I was torn between the two myself....until I found out the fairing was not easily removable on the SG.... figured I could get a RK and buya quick disconnect fairing later if I wanted to. Plus, if my wife decides she is not going to ride with me like she thinks she will..... throw on a solo seat and go for a cruiser look

Welcome, you have taken the first great step by asking here. The best advice is try them both out and see for yourself. Everyone has different likes and only you can decide. All the Tour bike share a lot of common traits but different in their approach to the front end. ITs just a matter of what you want. Also if you can, keep the Sporty, they are fun. Wish I hadn't gotten rid of me, makes a great 2nd bike.
