Considering an 18 Street Glide

[jam788]

Hello All and thanks in advance for your help.
I'm 50 and have had a couple of big metrics and now I want a Harley. I test drove a 16 road glide today and hated the thing. I get the whole Harley thing and I love everything about it but this bike had no travel in the rear suspension and man did it shake - alot. I was kind of heartbroken because it was absolutely gorgeous - that blue they came out with in 16? WOW.
Anyway - a friend of mine has an 18 street and loves the thing - tells me that it is a lot different than the 16 i tested - more refined and the suspension is totally different.
I'm sick of over analyzing and I'm thinking of picking up a 18 glide from the dealership tomorrow - all of this bullcrap be damned.

What do you guys think about the 18 street glide? How does it compare to the 16 road glide I tested?

Thanks a ton.

Jam- Just remember the Streetglide is HD's "Sporty model" Therefore its suspension is short travel and leaves much to be desired. Other than that when properly setup, you can ride buffet free all day long!
The new M8 motor is quite an improvement performance wise, the Boombox Infotainment center not so much. The beauty with sound, suspension and performance is; Make it your own-A Harley is like a blank canvas that you tailor and customize to fit your personality. Get one and guard your wallet or hide receipts from your wife!
