I've rolled up 25,000 miles on my 2008 Road Glide and getting ready to head to Sturgis in August for another few thousand. NO other bike is more comfortable, smooth handling and sturdy as the robust Glide. Wind blows past the fixed nose of the bike with great ease and makes takes the curves and ... corners like a sport bike. I will never own another bike. (Well maybe a new one)...

Rating breakdown

I recently purchased an '08 Road Glide; Prior to that I was riding another cruiser and I have to tell you that the ROad GLide is one heck of a bike. The ride and comfort is excellent; Even access to all the bells and whistles it comes with are conviniently placed and easy to use (like cruise control, ... turn signals, horns, radio controls). Power and acceleration is also there when you need it. Lastly, for being such a big bike, it's pretty nimble on turns, and handles well.

Great for long rides; That fixed fairing is awsome as it cuts through the wind. Even my wife has commented on how comforatable it is in comparrison to my previous bike.

I'd recommend a road glide blind folded.

My Favorite Bike

I have owned some terrific touring bikes, including the Gold Wing and Venture, but this is by far my favorite. There is just something about the feel and sound of a Harley that makes it more fun to ride than other bikes. I've done several multi-day rides and the bike is very comfortable, super ... reliable, and handles great. Low speed manuvering is a breeze. I have a removable tour pack and can go from sporty to full touring mode in just minutes. It is not the fastest bike out there, but it has plenty of power for me!

Great Handling

My 08 Crimson Road Glide is the best bike I have ever owned. The cornering, and steadfastness of the bike on the hwy makes this one of Harley's best kept secret. Along with a detachable Tour Pac and GPS, I expect this bike to be my ride for a long time.

Sarasota, FL

I love the 2008 bike i recently purchased. Performance, style, openness, of the cockpit, abundance of after market options. The frame mounted fairing is Harley's bet kept secret.
