Default I really want a road glide

Just got back from thunder beach. I had a great time and saw some awesome bikes. I've got a 12 SG and love the bike but I really want a RG. Rode down with a guy who has a 11 RG ultra with 24,000 miles on it. Bike looks brand new and he said he will never have anything else. What are the pro's and con's of the RG? Thanks

Oh Gawd!! Seriously?
The weekly comparison between the RG and the SG.
You gotta be shittin' me?
Do you really know how many threads there are on this?
Why don't you just go ride one, and then get back to us?

I sure wouldnt advise you to rent one, unless your ready to buy! Riding one made me go from "wanting" one, to "have to have one!" LOL!

My "pros and cons" could possibly be different than yours.....
Best bet would be to do your homework and a weekend of test-riding....
That being said, your mileage may vary......

Thanks, I am going to the dealer in the next few days and try one out. I really like the look of the RG custom that front end really makes it look long.

My starting point would be: can I stand to look at the FUGLY?..................no!! So my comparison is complete right from the start.

Just my opinion - but you did ask.
