Great that you got to ride your friend's FLHT and that you really like it...That might be the one to buy.
All the Touring models are going to ride different than your street bob--My advice:
While you can,test ride some other models in the Touring line-upbefore pulling out your cash.

What you can afford. Know that you'll want a couple grand for stage 1, and some bling.
I like the EGC as a nice middle ground of great options, tourpak and price. Ultras nice if you are always 2 up and like the CB/intercom and 4 speaker stereo and cruise control.
Standard is fine if you don't care about the audio and tourpak and such.
Street Glide is another option that a lot of guys like. It's a style thing.

Ride as many as possible, then buy what you like the best. Simple as that. You really can't go wrong with any of the "baggers". The most important thing - ride whatever you buy as much as possible!!

A few weeks agoI went to the 2008 demos at the local dealer and took the 08 SE Ultra for a test ride.
I just traded my Street bob in on an 08 Ultra and I'm very happy with it.
Couldn't afford the SE.
