I am part of the "Street Glide invasion" as some would call it. I think the popularity of this bike is very simple. It is a sleek and "sexy" bike that is a blank canvas to customize. It isa bagger that a younger person can feel cool on. The Road Glide is "okay" but I do not care for the fairing. The other HD tourers just seem to say "old". I don't mean that as a jab or put down. It is just to illustrate my point that the Street Glide is attracting younger buyers who previously wouldn't have been seen on a bagger. BTW, I'm 37.

, "What is that? That is beautiful!" Finally got one. I thought the same thing when I saw the black 50th Anniversary Sportster for the first time. Harley builds some beautiful bikes.

RE: Street Glide Invasion
I came off a sport bike back in the late 90's early 00's. I started to learn that I was either going to kill myself or spend some time in jail. That didn't appeal to me very well. I decided to go to a night train. I loved the bike, it was great in town, looked cool and it was a HARLEY. Then I started to learn what riding was all about. I started to go for longer rides, started to see more country, started to set out new adventures it was great but the night train was not set up for long trips. I started to look at different scooters, at first I wanted a road king, then I seen the street glide........ I was asking myself over and over in my head "Do I really want to go to a geezer glide, am I ready for that yet?" I really didn't want o get rid of my night train but I just wanted to get out and ride. I went for it and I'm happy that I did. I'm looking forward to many new adventures in the near future and I'm also looking forward to longer rides to see more country. I also think the street glide has very sexy lines......... for a bagger

Honestly, I like the Street Glide. I have an SG rear on my RG. Like someone else said, I wanted something different and everybody had a EG converted to the SG look even before the SG was available. Something about a tricked out RG trips my trigger. I have riden most of the Harley models and the bat wing fairing just wasn't my thing. I like the stretched out feeling on the RG. I also prefer the way the bike handles compared to a bat wing bike. It is all personal preference. I doubt I will ever own anything other than an RG.

I'm 33 and I don't think my bike says old. I also don't see my bike everywhere I go, which is cool in my book. I really like the street glide but everyone has one now.
