How aggressive are they to move the 11's. If I read it right you got the same price break on the 11 as you would have on the 10? What are we talking?

Thanks for the compliments and welcomes. The pictures were taken on the Angeles Crest Highway in Angeles National Forest. The 10 SG had security, the 11 SG didn't have security. Neither had ABS. Low 18k.

the roadglide this is my second one my first was a 08 RG. the trans bearings went out when i got back from laughlin on the 08. took it in the stealer checks it out and confirms the tranny bearings went out. so that was my oppurtunity to buy a new bike. i bought a 2009 SG did all the good stuff . so to answer your question i prefer the roadglide much more nimble cuts the wind better first thing i did was change the sheild. dont get me wrong my SG was a dam good bike but when i got back on the roadglide i had to have one again. all though the shocks are the same lenth 12 inch like the SG they ride much better i know harley did a little work to these shocks this time around. my parts guy said they are new and improved (shocks). so yes i prefer the roadie over the SG. hope this helps.

Just shy of 600 miles now and really liking the bike. Always thought a SG would feel like a big bulky bike and they don't feel that way at all. I was actually surprised how nimble it felt the first time I took it for a test ride.
