Rushmore Road Glides

[twizzle]

Are coming in around £3k cheaper then a Street Glide.... I'm finding myself strangely drawn to the twin headlight faring especially with the low dark screen... With the Boom Box and Sat Nav it ( from a rider perspective) fits together quite well.....

What say
you?

On the one hand they make a relatively rare (in the UK) and pleasant change from the hordes of Batwings and the frame mounted fairing is allegedly a significant improvement to the handling.

On the downside they look absolutely gopping

To my mind Road Glides are one of those bikes that look good from some angles and shit from others.

Side on – good.
Front on – ugly as a bag of squashed frogs.

They can look good with a swoopy paint job/graphic from front to back along the length of the bike in my opinion. I was trying to find a pic but if you do an image search for 'Road Glide custom' you get all the slightly absurd extreme baggers that seems to be popular in the US at the moment.

 

[jackassdave]

what you mean a bagger with a 39 inch wheel is ridiculous

It's gotten a wee bit silly has it not?

Interesting the essentially same two bikes (other than Batwing vs frame mount fairing) would be that much different? Comparing the regular SG and regular RG here they're almost the same the RG being $300 more. So I vote you go with the RG. Don't concern yourself that it's ugly you won't notice that when atop it.

The roadglide is alot more comfortable to me than the street glide, but on looks the SG has it.

(oh and yes, I am looking at a Harley as the replacement for my 1150GSA when I finally part with it. I rather prefer the atmosphere in here).
