I have ridin both bikes and their both very nice but Im a Harley owner all my life. As for the cost of them the Electra Glide is over priced. I own a Road King, its a very nice touring bike, I also have older Harley's with over 150.000 miles on them without any major repairs. Its all about the maintenance, the Honda is lighter and cost less, Some people don't like Harley as they ride sport bikes, I would like to see them ride for long trips and not have to shake their hands due to all their body weight on them. My Road King is now 2 years old and it has 40.000 on it, so this means I ride it allot. As for shipping overseas I have no idea.
