Looking for some honest opinions about the Road Glide. I currently have a 2004 Fatboy, that I have bagged out. I love the look, but am looking for a true touring bike. I located a 2004 Road Glide, one owner bike, at a dealership. It is priced right, and I feel I can negotiate a good deal. I have never owned a Road Glide, so I am wondering what people think of them. Thanks in advance for chiming in.......

 

The best & most stable of the touring bikes.

 

the ugliest most beautiful bike you can buy; get it and ride

 

I had one for 4 years,nice bike.

 

Buddy of mine just bought an 04' Roadie, I rode it home, handled great, good power, 5 speed is fine. I was impressed, course it is ugly

 

I had an '08 model for three years and really enjoyed it. Took a bit of experimentation with windshields and fairing lowers to get the wind management 'dialed in', but the 55k miles I put on it were largely trouble-free and a great pleasure.

 

love mine. i rode both street and road glides before i bought mine. on my short demo rides, i couldn't tell that much of a difference between handling characteristics. just something about it being different drew me in. but if you want to be accepted amongst the forum members here, you should get a black street glide.

 

I went from Fat Boy, to Road King to Ultra to a Road Glide.

I am liking it the best overall.

 

..... Road Glide ?
.... spacious cockpit feel, very stable out on that long road towards nowhere in particular.



...... i wouldn't trade mine for anything but a brand new, fully dressed Yellow one. ...... {hint, hint .. c'mon Willie, i'm'a waitin' for a yellow RGU!!}

 

Best long haul touring motorcycle ever made ....imho.
