I had a FLHP and it was great going from a Vulcan Classic 1500 to that Road King but as soon as the new Harley thing wore off and I needed to get a big I really liked, I ran and got a STREET GLIDE.

 

Let's just start a poll and then have a tinkle contest.

I like the SG and the RK. I ride an RK and an Ultra, so I know what a Batwing is like. I'm in the line of thinking detachable BW for the RK if you want a sound system. Several on the market. Great upgrade too.

 

i have a street glide looking RKC..at least froim the rear...did the SG rear end. though the SG looks sweet, the fairing is not for me. the versatility of popping it off for a purer riding experience is priceless. my next purchase will be extended bags, followed by an incognito sweet speaker/tunes setup in the bags.

 

street glide!!!! way more sexy!!

 

I vote for the RKC. My 07 is awesome.

Street Glide all the way.

 

i lve my roadking. im my opinion i think it is the most versatile bike. Because of the aftermarket batwing fairing you can get the best of both worlds

 

They don't call it the King for nothing

 

ok.....Folks on this end telling me the RK is a better bike for the long ride....but the SG you can throw around more....a little sportier ride.....Most of my rides are Sunday runs.....1 hr or so....find a biker friendly bar....1 hr ride.....we put on 100-150 miles, mostly back roads.....some nice straits to blast off....

Now, for the guys who have had both....what's your view?

 

You'll hear 100+ different responses from guys extolling the virtues of their respective models. The thing to ask is, what is the deal breaker for you? A fairing? Tall windshield? Radio? Wheel options? I could sit here and tell you that pound for pound, and sparkle for sparkle, my Street Glide kicks the **** out of any Road King on the road. But at the end of the day, it's your garage the bike you purchase will sit in. Not mine, not Johnny ****nuts over in Texas. Once you understand what YOU truly want in a bike, then you move forward. What I want, or they want, isn't the deciding factor in your choice.

Either way, you will be happy with your choice. Both bikes are awesome.
