Default RE: SG vs RG pricing ????

ORIGINAL: BUIZILLA

Why is the SG priced higher than the RG, when it seems that the RG has more std features, like cruise..., extra lights, etc. ??

opnions???

same answer as to why does HD put black plastic parts on our bikes then hand you a parts book on the way out that has chrome parts to replace those black plastic parts - BECAUSE they CAN and we keep on giving HD $$$$$$$ The CEO has to laugh all the way to the bank,,,, I bought a FLHTCI because I wanted a touring bike and I hated the look of the RG. That was Feb of 04 - well the more I saw the RG, the more it grew on me and I flipped to really like the look - go figure.. I am short 5'6" and I was amazed at how welll the RG handled on the road - I rented a RG last July in Boston for a Fly and Ride up to Nova Scotia for a week... Got have and bought all the parts to switch my EG to a RG - never have looked back...
just another opinion here

The SG is priced higher all because of it being a new bike and the demand for that bike. It has to cost HD less to produce that bike but people pay the higher price for anything that is new and hot. IMO the best bang for the buck is the EGC. When the SG came out I really wanted one but after comparing and riding both bikes I ended up with the Classic.
