Default 2017 Road Glide Special
Yesterday I bought a 2017 Road Glide Special. My first new bike ever and my first Road Glide. The M8 is one smooth motor. Everything I had heard is true regarding power and smoothness. The RGS and the M8 is a great combination.

Congrats, I also bought a 2017 Road Glide, 1st ever Harley.. Yes, acceleration is spot on, smooth. Gotta ask what do you think of the rear suspension? What did you ride prior?
