I'm a Voyager fan but you should be comparing the Electra Glide with the Voyager and the Street Glide with the Vaquero.

I love my Nomad but I would have no problem with riding a new street glide. Unless I had to pay for it.

I'd take that bs HD or the Kawi any day over that spaceship you ride. George.

I think a Corvette beats a Yugo.
Especially in the "Looks" department... |

So...you have a problem with brown (actually, Bronze Mist) or are you just back to bashing Victorys?

The only "comparable" Harley (to the Voyager OR the Vaquero) is the Road Glide. Compare similar fairings. Both the Electra Glide and the Street Glide have fork mounted fairings. The only Harley with a frame mounted fairing is/was the RG. You could compare the RGU to the Voyager and the RGC to the Vaquero, I guess. (FWIW, I'd take the EGU or RGU over the Voyager any time. I wouldn't want the SG as I like leg protection and all the bells and whistles. Couldn't care less about the trunk although having the option of a QR trunk would be nice.) If I were to buy a Harley today, I'd buy an Electra Glide Ultra Limited since the Road Glide Ultra is no longer available. Bet it's back in the next couple of years.

It's not the color, it's the bike, (styling) and not just because it's a Victory either. That's what this thread is about right? Styling ? I'm sure Bronze Mist is a very nice color.

Bronze Mist is a butt ugly color but it hides road dirt well. It was also $500 cheaper and I didn't buy the bike to show so it didn't matter.

As much as I like the Street Glide I will have to say that is one ugly beast. I saw a 2014 Street Glide with a trunk that same color yesterday. Just goes to show how color makes a huge difference on the appearance of a bike.

I want a Harley so I can be cool again. I want to ride with a bandana for a helmet and look like a thug for the weekend.
