SG is the safe bet for those that generally follow the crowd. No risk. The RG is chosen by those that pick their own lane most often. All it took was one ride on a RG in 2007 to walk away from the Bat wing for good.

Very fair assessment and has always pretty much been my take on it.

But too many of them are being sold now! It was cool to go out and not see one dam RG! Now you see them everywhere! They stick out in crowds, SG dont.

Thank for the feedback.
The SG has slammed, 2” lowered rear suspension so won’t be as comfy as the RG.

The standard RG And the RG Special are exactly the same as a SG. And they're only 1" lower than the Ultra it has 13" shocks. The SG and RG have 12" shocks.
