Both my Live-In girlfriend and I ride. She has a SG and I have a RG. I've ridden both and have to say I would still take my RG over her SG any day. The shark nose took no time at all to get used to. I like the built-in compartments in the fairing as well as the dual headlamps! The handling is excellent, even crosswinds! Plus it has more room underneath the fairing to hide components! I have a new stereo, satelite box (and antenna) mounted underneath the fairing. And, there is still more room for an amplifier and hidden FM antenna.

Road Glide is definitely for me!

I thought about it a long time before I bought my Road Glide.
I don't regret it. I love the bike and don't plan on trading it in any time soon.
I just wish I could afford to own more than one bike. If I could have a garage full of bikes one of them would be a Street Glide.

Wow thanks for the replies, all in all I love my SG, I've heard great things about both. I guess it just comes down to 2.things- 1 loving what you have! and 2. finding a way to own all of them! LOL! Thanks!

I rented both before I purchased. Really liked the looks of the Roadglide, and had some really great ideas for custom paint on one. Unfortunately, I did not like the way the RG rode compared with the SG. Then, I gave the RG one more chance at a Test Ride event, and it again underwhelmed me. I love the black Street Glide I purchased, and haven't really noticed much of a wiggle around 18-wheelers.
