Fixed fairing vs. batwing.

Other than that, they are the same bike.

Yea what he said^^^

Take a (test) ride on both models and see which one you like best it's going to be a personal preference/decision.

I owned a 2013 cvo RG and a 2011 cvo SG at the same time for 3 years. I liked them both equally, the SG was a bit more nimble at slower speeds and the RG was a bit more stable at highway speeds specially in bad weather. I prefer the batwings but I can see owning a RG again sometime in the future if it is the right paint set.

RG is super stable at speed. I can pass an 18 wheeler at 70 mph with my hands in my lap. I've owned both and will never go back to the batwing. Rode a friends CVO SG last week and it felt like it had a 50lb sack of taters tied to the handlebars.

Got some of each and as stated previously the RG fixed fairing is much more stable at highway speed for the simple fact that when the wind hits the batwing and moves it the handlebars are moved accordingly, not true of the fixed fairing.  Years ago there was a problem with getting any ventilation on the fixed fairing models but that has been addressed now with the vent but I don't have one of those models, mine is earlier. 

Really gets down to personal preference, try one of each and decide.
