It's entirely up to you what you want to spend the money on. As far as handling in the wind, RG. Passenger wise, my wife loves the comfort and she says the wind isn't an issue for her. Of course she never was on an EG or SG.

Hey Guys, just in this few hours of the post, ya have not helped one damn bit, just kidding! It's funny the diffenrent responses. Kinda like the firehouse, you better have thick skin. Seriously, a lot of the observations of the street glide are what I noticed and the RG what I've heard. Thanks again for everybodies help.

So what are you getting? A Road King?

I didn't learn squat from any of these replies,
except that anybody that blows 20 grand on a recreational toy ain't gonna admit he bought the wrong one. LOL

I had a 1990 Ultra Classic Electraglide for 15yrs. But I have to say this, the Roadglide fairing is a much better handling bike and doesnt work you in the wind like the batwing faring bike.

I rode my 1990 Ultra for 200k miles
