I heard from a friend who's cousin knew a guys nephew that had a brother that said they would be available in black and as FUGLY as ever. Oh yeah, he's a reliable source.

I have to admit, I hated the looks of the RG, but lately it has really grown on me. If I were to buy a second (new) Harley that would be the one I would get. I really want to ride one, might have to rent one for a weekend just to see how it is.

I don't like them but when I see them at runs tricked out, I think "hey that's pretty rad...." I won't own one though, I guess I just can't wrap my head around the bars moving but not the fairing...... in the end we all buy our bikes because its our personality.........some weird people need weird bikes.....

I've been told that is how you get hooked. Once you go fugly, you don't go back is what I'm told. My service manager had a Big Blue Pearl RG Custom with dealer plate on it one day and, with a $hit eating grin, kept offering a test ride. I passed.
