2nd bike
I Got a 07 Wide Glide.
Was interested in a 2nd bike. Like a Electra Glide Standard, or a Street Glide or a Heritage Classic. Like the heritage but don't like softails. Which bike would be a best bike for longer distances for 2 people riding over 6 hours in a day.

RE: 2nd bike
Any of the touring family will suit you better than a heritage, IMO. The EGS is the cheapest of the line, but I don't like the engine cases. If the sg is in your budget, look at the eg classic. Basically the same price, and you will get more for your money. Remember, it is cheaper to remove the stuff you don't need all the time, than it is to buy the stuff (tourpak) that you might want, on occasion, IMO.

When it comes to comfort, get the Ultra Classic, the wife's behind will be super happy and so will yours. You won't be looking for a place to rest until you have to fill with gas. Good luck.
