RE: 2006 Street Glide ..... Opinions ??
I like it. I just got done checking it out, and put a post in the General Harley Davidson Chat Forum about it.
I wish it had the highway bar/lights on the front, that's the only thing I didn't like. Looks great, has the radio, the upgraded dash, I don't think it has cruise...but I'm sure that could be added.
If I were to do it all over...I would get a Classic and make the tourpak detachable. If you're going to do serious highway miles, that thing has got to be the Cat's ***.
Take a look at Bill Nourse's ride...that's sweet in my mind.
The Street Glide would be my second choice. I like the upgraded radio, though I don't understand why they don't make one that is satellite ready? There are enough of us that use satellite radio to warrant something like that.
The bike also has a black motor instead of the aluminum "blonde" motor. Matter of preferrence I suppose.
All in all, I think it's pretty sharp, and I like it. I look forward to seeing on in person.

It's an alright bike, I guess. I personally don't like the color matched hinges on the saddlebags, but eh...

I didn't know they had an XM radio upgrade for it...'bout time! I think if I were shopping for a bike today, that would be the one I'm after...not getting rid of my ride though!
