Listen rookie, the streetglide is the hotrod of the touring line, its the bar hopper/cruiser/touring bike! If you want more performance, hop it up and save yourself the expense of another bike.
Yes and now. A bagger has a huge disadvantage, called weight. I have a 138.5 HP and 140 Torque CVO King. Way more fun that a stock bike, lighter than a street glide. Yet a very mild build low rider S will out accelerate me, will out stop me an out corner me with ease.
That said, I chose a Touring bike to build, because a day ride for me is 1800-300 miles.
I do agree its an expense savings to have only one bike. However I much prefer to have two bikes. If ones down I can still ride. Was nice when I had 5600 dollars hail damage in 15 on my 15 CVO RGU. Bike was in shop 2 months waiting on parts. Been nice right now, 19 has been in shop since end of Oct waiting on painted parts again.
Will be nice when I build the motor in the 19 also. Another big help is we take a 5~6000 mile trip every year, So Once I complete a service on the bike I am taking I can keep miles off so I do not need a service on the road.
