Is Road Glide a good touring bike.

Traded this 2013 RG for a 2013 F6B, never regretted one day. Don't miss the heat of the 103 c.i. blowtorch, especially in traffic, which ruined every nice ride.

Also traded my 13rg custom for my 13f6b. I can honestly say the only thing I miss from the road glide is the sound and the cruise. Way too hot to sit in traffic. Although I have my complaints about the f6. put 10k on that rg in a yr. put 6k on the f6 in less than a year. Keep your f6 you will regret going to a rg. You may like it at first but those good old vibrations will get to your body. My rg got to the point were after 60miles or so I had to get off and walk off all the body aches and I'm only 38yrs old. I could ride this f6 across the country if I had to and only stop to light a cigarette and get fuel. Harley's are bar bikes not touring bikes. Just my 2cents

Hey, what's with the sarcasm? The guy asked a question. Last I checked, that's ok to do around here. Don't like the question? Then move on.

I've owned 5 Harley's. From the 1200 Sportster (Fun bike around town), Fat Boy's (Good Medium range bike but not long distance) to Road King (Decent Medium to long range). That said, I was actually going to get a Road Glide when I came across the F6B at an escort ride for the Vietnam Memorial Wall in Melbourne Fl.. Some guy had one like the one I eventually got. I was looking it over as I'd never seen one (May '14). He came over and let me have a seat and I was sold even without riding it. I ended up buying mine a week later. Loved it ever since and never looked back at the RG as I don't feel I'm missing anything.

Added new Bagger Shield windshield, Rocky Risers (Just what I needed) and an Ultimate Seat (The best. I've had one on my last 4 bikes). The bike was good before the add on's but now, it's hands down the most comfortable and fun bike I've ever owned and I've owned 11 different bikes over the years.

Give your F6B a chance. You'll get a great feel for it and what you need to make it just right and you won't be disappointed.

Happy Trails

I bought a 1999 Road Glide new and enjoyed it, sold it in 2005. Improvements since that time are many, I'm confident the 2015 model is far superior. With the bigger engine H-D performance is much better now too, but they run too hot for me. With today's emmission laws liquid cooled motorcycles are all I will consider when buying new. Shame. At least I still have an air cooled bike from 1971 in my garage to putt around occasionally. The F6B waits for me when I want to get serious and go for distance and comfort.
