I have had an 07 Street Glide, 07 Road King Classic and now an 08 Road Glide. Like the RG the best of all. After the RG, the bat wing feels all up in my face. The RG feels bigger.You need to ride several before you choose. You will get alot of opinions and most will end up with... buy what is right for YOU. Good luck.

Actually the RG sux. Stay away from it.

I have to say hands down the Street glide..... which is why I bought one but if I could have a free bike and I already had my SG then I would get a road king and add the street glide accessories to it. I like the naked fenders and naked hard bags on a road king with only the headlight and no driving lights. I have too many ideas for a road king i could type for an hour. But if i had only one bike .......SG!!

You said the RG is your favorite, and the last line you say stay away from the RG... is that a typo?

Since I have a Road King Custom with a detachable fairing and tourpac I;d choose a Road Glide if your giving one away. If I had to buy mine all over again I would get a Road King custom with a detachable fairing and tourpac.

That was sarcastic. I love the RG and would not get rid of it for any other bike. It is a great ride. I liked my 07 SG as well. I would have still had them both but the wife got hit on the SG and totaled the bike. When she took over the SG, I traded her RKC for my RG.

I like the ROAD KING.........

Is that an H-D faring???? That's a GREAT idea.......
