There was a surge of Roadies sold last fall but I think that was only because the Streetglides were already sold out for the year. As a matter of fact,it's been that way since 2006 when the Street Glides were introduced. They sell out fast, then the leftover buyers are stuckgetting Road Glides. (lmao)

Yea that's the story and i'm sticking to it! [:-]

I don't dis like the street glide.
I've got opinions on it like anything else but to say that people are stuck buying a Road Glide because they were all out of Street Glides is just plain stupid.
Even if your tong is in your cheek when you say it.

There two totally different tastes and bikes.

I'll be honest with you about the Street Glides. I think there the lazy way out for guys that don't know any better. I have friends with "Street Glides" long before they calledthem that.
Now the motor company can charge more money for less motorcycle. Great Idea!

I have noticed the progression......Honda, Street Glide and then a big boy Harley, ROAD GLIDE!!!! It just takes some longer than others to graduate!

Totally different tastes and bikes? Last time I looked they were (are) all in the "Touring family." But hey, I don't know everything (anything)...

I really like them all but to be honest I like the road glide least of all. Gotta king and sorta lust after a street glide but I'll never trade for one. Might buy a fairing one of these days but I'll keep my RK

Hint: Calling someone out for making what you perceive as a "stupid comment" then making one as equally stupid...

Yeh...stupid idea.

I was well informed when I bought mine, thank you. And I got it for a helluva price, and I've made it into a bike that is uniquely mine. I like it a helluva lot more than I did my 2000 Road King.

Act like a twit much?
