Re: Electra Glide Standard vs. Street Glide
I traded in my 07 SG for an 09 SG, so I'm obviously partial.
SG's are "the dark side of baggers" (someone else said, but yeah). There's lots of differences, but it comes down to your personal preferrence/style mostly. SG's don't have the chrome and embelishments to the fenders (even the EG Standard has some), no rear crash-bar, sit an inch lower, have a truly useless-for-long-distances seat, have a different (slightly louder, especially the 09s) exhaust sound, and according to some, slightly better performance. They don't have the passing lamps and bracket, one of the big differences visually. AND, if you're riding an SG, you'll never ever feel like your being chased down the road by an oddly-shaped piece of tailgating Samsonite luggage. (Unless you add the 4-point hardware and a tour pak). To each his own, and it's clear where my loyalty lies.

Re: Electra Glide Standard vs. Street Glide
The one big thing i have seen between the two is the sg has the black engine and the eglide standerd has the silver engine. I don't know about everybody eles but I like the black my self. looks better with crome.

Re: Electra Glide Standard vs. Street Glide
+1 for the SG. IMHO, I think the SG captures the best of both worlds. It's a great combination of bagger and sport bike. I love the lines, clean fenders, sleek, low stance. Its one sexy beast!

Re: Electra Glide Standard vs. Street Glide
+2 on the Street Glide. Mine ships from York on Friday! It's been a loonng month!
Like has been said on many posts, the SG has styling cues that aren't available from the Electra Glides. The Standard is a stripped down platform (for most), the Classic is your best apples to apples comparison to the SG due to price, and the Ultra is, well, it's the Ultra. Do your wish list, and compare them on the dealer floor. If you decide to buy one, test ride them both. Then do it all again! That's what makes it fun! This is part investment, part toy, treat it as such. Good luck!
