Fugly is the way to go best bike I ever had! Have 3 people I know went from ultras to road glide ultras and they can't believe how much better it handles and would never go back.

Can't believe anyone would even consider one of those "fugly" things.. everyone just stay on the batwings and forget you ever heard about the sharks...

In all seriousness, I put over 10k on my 09 SG before I sold it and bought the RGC. I now have just over 10k on this one. The most recent miles have been the most enjoyable on a bike I have ever had. I have let every one of my friends with batwings ride it and they all compliment the way it cuts through the wind unlike theirs...

I hate my bike. The paint is dull and it has that ugly fixed fairing. Yea you definitely don't want one of these.

I used to think they were fugly but now they're really growing on me! I'm 6'4" I can cover the reach.

guys, you missed it. i was talking about the cigarette lighter and the shark nose fairing.... it's a pun, the fairing doesn't move, so it doesn't matter how far the lighter sticks out, but some people (not really thinking) have commented on the lighter hitting the tank on the fugly......

I guess it was a little too 'inside' for some.

Just don't tell 'em the headlights don't turn and they can't see around corners.

I just flat out love this bike!! But I wouldn't recommend anybody buy one, there are getting to be too many of them out there.
