got it narrowed down to two bikes for my first HD

theres a part of me that says im too young for a bagger, but you guys make some valid points. i really need to throw the road king and street glide on my to do list. i was leaning torwards an 09 leftover or new. my main concern is getting the most current engine and frame. i am keeping my cbr for messing around and commuting to work.
on the road king is there any benefit of going with the standard over the classic or vice versa.

Nice bike! I'm prob not a lot of help but I had a 929 Erion Racing a few years ago. Anyway, cool thing about HD is the demos, go check em out and see what suits you... its hard to have one bike that does it all, Nightrod for speed, cruiser/touring bike for longer rides so by hitting local shops for demos will prob be what you have to do... coming from the 929 to anything is gonna be hard if your still interested in the speed. I bought a 2002 1200 Sporty when I had my 929, sold the 929 but later picked up a CBR600 which I had for 4 years cause the one bike didn't do everything I wanted. Now I'm just cruising the 883 Iron and looking to get a used Road King or other touring bike for our longer rides as soon as I can. Good luck and let us know what you end up with. Here's the 929 I had...

If I woulda had to do it all over again (and the girlfriend agrees with this too), I woulda got a Road King, instead. More bike, more features and nothing or little to add.

LOL - You might just want to go to each of the bike forums here, and check the Dynaa, Sporty, Softails, etc and get some ideas. You'ld be suprised what you might find and like.
I still think the FatBob Low suits what you're saying the best.

Asking for opinions is OK but all comes down to what YOU are comfortable with! The best advice I saw here is: “go to a dealer and test ride a few bikes and I don’t mean just going around the block”.
Good luck with your decision!
