RE: Road Glide or Street Glide
the RG is a top heavy boat, on the freeway its great , but at slower speeds that big old faring really shows up, the SG is much lighter feeling when turning, my buddy has one and I've ridden it quite a bit, theres nothing better hauling down the interstate, but the SG is better in other areas, get whichever you think looks best and ride both.

RE: Road Glide or Street Glide
I have a SG and I must omit the Road Glides do look nice. Kinda growing on me that fairing
As far as wind on my bike I have the 6"Clearview and It cuts down a lil bit still some wind. If your riding long hauls the RG wins (But the SG isstill a nice ride)....around town and everything else... the SG IMO
Either Way you can't go wrong

RE: Road Glide or Street Glide
I guess I have to ride a RG, either that or the RG guys have never ridden a SG. I can't imagine a bike handling better that my Streetglide even in high winds. Test drive both and let us know how you make out. IMHO, the fairing on a RGis Fugly, maybe if it had a single headlight.
Yor bike, you decide.

I had just as soon ride my Rg to the post office as I had out on the open road. RG is a blast to ride. I have owned 2 batwings in the past and the RG handles crosswinds and 18 wheeler turb. much better in my opinion. SG ia a nice looking bike and I can't say that I will never own one but if I do I will have it custom painted so I can find it in the sea of SG's. Just saying cause it's the truth.

RE: Road Glide or Street Glide
I love these RG vs SG/EG ones . . . No really !!
All good points. One good point is;
Most all of the scooters you see are SG's or EG's set up like SG's
If one is avail, I may rent a RoadGlide this Saturday.
I'll know tomorrow.

RE: Road Glide or Street Glide
At 55-60 MPH, it won't make that much of a difference. Those are fairly tamespeeds.Heck, maybe throw the Road King into the mix as well.
Pick the oneyou think about most.
