Between the RK and the SG I would go with an UC... just saying. I do like the radio and the cruise control. It is nice to have for the long trips.

I like the King over the SG. If you are looking at a SG you may want to also look at an Ultra. Not much difference in price.

The King is the hot rod of the touring family, solo seat no windshield and that massive chrome front end, WOW! My opinion is biased on my 2nd King!

Talking choices!

No matter which bike you choose you will get a great machine. For me the RG works best but my wifes Roadking Classic is a great ride too! Whatever your choice is enjoy the ride.

thanks all for your input and opinions. i think i really know which model i'm most serious about,but i did read and re-read what you had to say. although i did catch myself giving one last?? look at the RG that was on the floor,very nice. the local guy did have a black/blue ice SG,but it was gone in a flash,very surprising color! after much thought i did eliminate the RKC and EGS for various reasons. so..........i gots to decide so that i can try to deal with these people. i'm having to trade in my '07 Fat Boy and things are kinda tight,so i want to try to get it right. i think i can live without the denim paint,but it is sweet. maybe vivid black is the one,i'll just keep pondering..... thanks again

Dude, it tells you how to clean it, and many people here know how so that shouldn't even be an issue. As far as a radio, you know if you like to listen to it or not. I know when I'm on a long highway and Springsteen is blasting I'm in heaven!

Yea its pretty simple.....Do not want a radio? Simply turn it off and No radio. I agree both are great bikes. But I prefer the Streetglide
