Default Post Rushmore wait.

As a Roadglide owner, is it worth the wait to see what 2015 is bringing or save the $$ & put it into my '10 RG?

Here we go again! If I were to buy a new RG, I would wait until the second year of production.

Well personally I would wait, either way it will be a win win situation. You will either have the money to put on the new bike or that much more to put into your 2010 and we all know we can easily find a way to put more money into our bikes. If you decide to put money into the 2010 and then want the 2015 it will be hard to recoup that money on the 2010, just a thought. Good luck.

With all the improvements on the other Rushmore bikes, I would not put any more $ into my old bike.

Believe the new Road Glide will be exceptional. A true continent crossing road bike. Faster, smoother, more powerful, better handling, better bags, better cooling, better electronics and most likely better air management.

If you don't like what you see when they are released, you will still have the money to put into your old bike : >)
