Question?
Been riding my 2000 softail standard since Nov of 1999. Will never get rid of it unless a major (and I Mean major) financial issue comes up with the wife and kids. So here is the question, I'm looking at buying a touring bike in the next 2 years, I really like the electra glides bat wing fairing but have heard a lot of good stuff about the road glide. If you were to invest the $$$$ based on just comfort and overall performance, which would it be????? Before I purchase, I will ride both, but wanted to see the opinion of people here who have ridin one or the other. Throw looks out the window on this one.

RE: Question?
I guess it is personal preference...I myself have rode both and I like the batwing then again it is what I like.....We all could brag about ours being the greatest, but in the end it will be which one you like the best.....

RE: Question?
Sold my 99 Wide Glide for my 07 Electra glide and have no regrets. I didn't like the look of the Roadie front end, but I have to say it will be my next purchase.... I am truley happy with the batwing for now.
RE: Question?
I went from my 05 FXD to my now current 07 Roadie. I absolutely love it! Ride, comfort, style...everytyhing about it. That being said, mine is the only RG in our riding group. Couple UC's, SG, RK,and a Heritage. I can not say anything bad about the other glides because I love them too. I was also torn between the RG and the EG when I bought mine. Like said, it really comes down to what you like. Sit on and/or ride both.
The RG may handle winds slightly better and may give you a bit roomier feel sitting on it, but with the batwing bike, I have noticed there seems to be more option and aftermarket parts avail. It is also that "classic" Harley style. But you will see them EVERYWHERE!
What I wish is that the Moco would put out isa ROAD GLIDE ULTRA CLASSIC model. All the bells and whistleswith a RG fairing.
G'luck!
