Road King. I've made longer rides on lesser bikes.

How long do you have to get from point A to point B? If I were doing only a couple of hundred miles a day, I would take my Talulah (07 XLC).

I've got no experience with the other two bikes, so I can't really speak to the other choices. I will say that I think a Trike would be a cool option though.

What is your riding experience so far?

What time of year are you going?

How many miles per day?

Passenger?

The Street Glide for sure. That bat wing is much better at getting rid of buffetting and limiting your fatigue.

Done that. Enjoy the ride. Not much difference really. Can't hear the radio on the road anyway. The batwing is only better protection in bad weather. Otherwise the big wind shield will give you plenty of relief from the wind. A cruise control is the biggest factor. I've got one bike with and one without. Also, make sure you have a backrest. Allows you to kick back and ride with your feet up on the crash bar. Long ride getting anywhere in the South from California.

Yes, we should hang this perpetrator of falsehoods! A radio is the best thing ever invented for long rides.

Anyone picking up on the fact that the OP isn't even participating in his own thread?

Lot of that lately. Low post count + recent sign up date = troll half the time.
