2001 Road Glide

Found this black on black one I really like at a local dealer.

Anyone have experience owning one? What should I look out for?

I've ridden many bikes before. I plan on using it for a lot of commuting and 2up riding. Bike is in great shape, but I don't know anyone that has a RG. Also looking to upgrade the headlights to Bi-Xenon if possible. Any tips would be appreciated...

I have a 2007 RG and a 2010 wide glide. I love the Road Glide. From what I've read it has the most clearance of the baggers and is the best handling. I haven't ridden them all so I can't confirm that but I've had a Road King, an Ultra Classic and an Electraglide Standard and I prefer my RG. There's plenty out there that call it ugly but I like the look. To me it looks a bit more sporting than the barn door fairings on some of the other baggers. I use it for commuting up the highway mostly. It has comforts that the FXDWG aint going to give you. That one looks like it's in pretty good condition. Do some research, take it for a ride and if you like it, I'm sure you won't be disappointed.
