Street Glide or Road Glide. Your opinions
So been looking at getting a touring model instead of my Heritage.
So at the dealer yesterday was checking both of them out and chatting with the sales guy who I bought my Heritage from. So in some of the talking he brought up something also I hadn't thought about.
With the road glide he suggested that while on the highway at speed when you pass a semi or something similar and you have the guts of wind the road glide doesn't have as much pressure on the bars as with say a street glide where the daring is attached to the bars
So kind of looking for some opinions from you all that have ridden both.
I do plan to take each for a spin when the time comes but just looking for some opinions.
Or any other opinions you all might have over one or the other. Looking for all opinions

Both great rides . But you ask. SG boring IMO every one has one. They are the safe bet for most. The RG an RGU are IMO a better ride due to the fixed faring. Other than faring they are the same bikes. But I am bias, riding my 5th RGU
Reason the fix framing just handles better all a round IMO

Both are great bikes, and they both have their plusses and minuses. As you are planning to do, ride both, and see what you prefer.
I have been on a RG now for 6-7 years, and thinking my next one may be a batwing, no other reason than to CHANGE things up a little, may even consider a King, but I do like my tunes.
