RK or Street Glide??

I got this great decision to make. I decided that I need to have a Touring bike. Then the Lord spoke and outa the blue my Sweet Wife told me I should think about trading in the SuperGlide for a Tour bike!! Even mentioned keepin both!(dang fine woman)

Anyway I like both the RK Standard and the Street Glide. On the RK I love the way it looks,without the wind sheild it looks like a crusier, but it is a real tour bike too.
The SG, I have never riden with a fairing much, I have never wanted a radio, but might be real nice to have, and maybe I would like them. The radio and stuff. I think the SG might hold its value a bit better. They are near the same price.
Help me out, what would you get?
Thanks
Carl

I ride a FLHRCI, I would have to say that if you are keeping your old bike....go up to the ElectraGlide or Ultra classic. If I ever buy a bike with a fairing I am going to the Top of the Line.

Re: RK or Street Glide??

I would have to say go for the Street Glide, you can always putthe short black w/s on and it will look chopped. I have a Fatboy I want to get rid of (cant afford 2) and may go with the Road Glide or street glide or electra glide glassic. I like the black and chrome engine so the RG may be out. The SG looks good without all the bars and lights on the fenders and bags. What colors you looking at?

Hold out till the '07s are released. Rumor has it around lunchtime tomorrow on the HD website. Maybe there will be a new model that you just HAVE to have? And if not, I'll bet dealers will be eager to move all the 06's off the floor=better deal for you.
