renting both is a good ideal i myself prefer the RG because of the shark nose

frame mounted fairing cuts thru the wind awesome-ride safe
Gotta agree with garyhendley. My next scooter will be a Road Glide my last two have been Electra Glides and I'm tired of fighting the wind!

Bought a SG and went to Sturgis and road a RG. I have kicked my self in the A$% for choosing the SG ever since. RG is Harleys best kept secret. Ride one and you will know. Wish I would have read this forum before I bought one.

This old fart is 36 and love my RG!

The RG is the best bike HD makes! Unless you want to look like everyone else, get a SG!

Road glides are dumb the headlights don't turn when you corner.

&nbsp\\;One of the reasons I got a Road Glide was there wasnt as many shark noses out there.But I am seeing more all the time.Have not ridden a Street Glide but the Roadie is a great ride.

RG especially if you are going to customize it nothing looks better than a whacked out RG with 13 or 16 apes
