Sorry to the Ultra's as I unintentionally forgot about that group.
Congratulations on starting another 'pissing match' between
batwing riders, naked/convertable riders, and sharknose riders.

The batwing should be most popular, with so many different models
using the batwing.
The Road King is easily converted from a naked cruiser to a batwing bike
with just a few modifications.....trying to blend in with the crowd.

And the Road Glide will always stand alone....proud to be totally
different from all cookie-cutter look alikes.

What changes did they make to the RG in 2010 that it made it so much better?

I have ridden all 4, I can't tell a difference, they all ride and handle great. Each model has its pros and cons, all about personal choice.

This type of thread is a waste of time, as some one mentioned, this just opens up the floodgates of my fairing/ride combo is better than yours.... Remember one thing, we all love to ride HD's! ;-)

To me, the Road King is the most versatile bike in the Harley line-up.
No fairing, but you can slap on the windshield, add a tour pack when you need it, luggage rack, etc. I don't like listening to music when I'm on a bike, so a stereo is useless to me.
When you want to cruise around town, you can strip it down to just the saddlebags, and you have a great looking cruiser.
