Hello All,
I'm currently eyeing a late model or new street glide. My question is would a touring bike fit my needs. My current bike is a 2011 Super Glide Custom with lots of $ in add on's. I commute daily 52 miles solo and ride two up almost any other time. Split between highway and city. I like my current bike but features like ABS and locking storage are very appealing. So, in your opinion is the cost worth the benefits?

 

No brainer, comfort, capacity, cooooooolness...

Sounds to me like you should have had a touring bike a long time ago! Your passenger will thank you!

 

Have both. I do. Best of both worlds.

 

Not in my opinion...but I'm a dyna owner. I would have to have both or I would just keep the dyna....way too much fun

 

For me it was - rent one for a day and put it through the paces, see what you think. You're Dyna is going to be a bit more nimble if that's an issue, but you just can't beat the touring bikes if you ask me. Good luck on your decision.

 

Go with the bagger and you won't look back.

 

Go with the bagger.

But what did you expect asking on the touring forum! We are all bias!

 

48,000 bagger miles later I would say the extra cost is well worth it.

Well, we've all already made that decision over here...
