I stopped into the local dealership for lunch to have them appraise my 2007 yamaha roadstar silverado. The 2013 RG Ultra was just sitting there and my concern about the weight prompted the dealer to threw me the Yellow safety Jacket w/ a license plate on the back.
I had the opportunity to test ride both a 2015 Electra Glide Ultra and the 2013 RG Ultra. To my surprise the Road Glide won hands down. Plus the heat of a noonday Tampa day and the traffic air seemed to circulate better while I was on the RG. The Electra glide had the Ultra bells and whistles {touch screen and cool vent in the fairing} However in my opinion the Road Glide just fit the unique style and comfort level I was expecting.
The touring segment is different from the my current cruiser style I'm living with. There are some accessories that will have to be fitted to the Road Glide [ 1st thing to be up graded is the suspension, the nose dive under braking has to go. Followed by a set of slip-ons ]. The plus side has everything to do with the 6&6 (6speed tranny and 6 Gal tank) vs (5speed and 4.x gallon tank that is only good for 103 mile before I have to switch to reserve )
I will miss the complete confidence gained while riding the Roadstar I have AAA and the HD family is close from what I've noticed.
On a side note that 2015 entertainment center is busy and overwhelming to even attempt to setup while riding.
Sorry for the long post but I want to put my real thoughts out where I can get real feedback.
