You have to ask yourself what you will be using the bike for most of the time. That will answer your question as to whether a street glide or something more substantial.

The big difference is if you will ride alone most of the time. You will need to add a lot of parts to make a passenger comfortable on long rides

Bought my 07 SG new... never had a problem with it lol My wife loves it, she sits back and enjoys the ride!! Do get a good backrest for yourself and your passenger and a luggage rack.. I put my T-Bag on the rack... that with the saddlebags... gives us plenty of room. I'll even strap a tent & sleeping bags on the SG on occasion. Good bike, one of the best I've had. Right now I have my eye on a 06 SG... don't like the TBW, some do..some don't lol

After my crash I doubt that my wife will get on the bike again, I don't blame her,and I also will slow down big time, I am getting a bike because I love them so much, I will ride but not like B4.I am pretty sure that SG will do the trick....

Can you order the bike with 120R engine from the factory? Or that is something that you upgrade afterward?
