I had the '11 RGU and traded up for the '15.  Noticeable differences for me in many areas.  Handling, cornering, overall feel, and ergonomics are all WAY better, no front end wobble, slightly cooler engine temps.  I'm more confident on the '15.  I know it's a heavy bike, but it just doesn't feel as heavy as the '11 did, especially leaning in turns or in parking lots.  Stopsigns are a lot easier now, too.  No real noticeable diff in the butt dyno category, though.  I do like the Race Tuner versus the Power Commander I had on the '11.  And I like the color scheme better, gray/black on the '11 just wasn't my favorite.

i had an 11 SERG.  I just picked up my 16.  But not enough miles yet to offer a factual comparison.  Stay in touch !

Ditto with RGlideKid, FLSTFI Dave, Major Tom and others :2vrolijk_21: Had over 44k on my 2011 SERG and thought it would be my last. Then the new fairing design came out and it was all over. Swapped it for the 2015 and never looked back. Performance similar but runs cooler, handles better, air management sigificantly better (with proper up-kick windshield) and appreciate the built in Infotainment navigation system. The 2016 added very cool tire pressure sensors and a one piece FOB.
