I had an 02 Road King Classic that I bought new and owned it for 12 years and put 40k mi on it. It went through a lot of customization phases but it was still a great riding bike. Took many long trips and tons of local rides. I went from that to a Street Glide (2015) but I wasn't riding much then and only put 5k mi on it in 5 years. I was busy with a big job (CIO) but knew I'd ride more when I retired. But I ended up selling it and then two years later in 2022, I bought my 15 CVO Limited. It only had 12k mi on it and in excellent condition with thousands of extras - exhaust, suspension, sound. I recently retired and we're in the process of building a new house but I've been able to get some rides in and plan to do many more. When the 2014 CVO Road King came out, I instantly loved the bike. I almost bought one before I bought the Limited but decided against it. I enjoyed the fairing on my SG which I thought I'd never say as a long time Road King owner.

We moved to Fernandina Beach, FL in June and I'm looking for groups to ride with, so I'm not sure what kind of riding or distances I'll be doing. I saw an orange CVO RK yesterday and it got me thinking again.

Who has gone from an E-Glide to a Road King and what are you thoughts?

 

I have a 16 limited that I’ve put 120k on, and a 12 road king. When I bought the RK I pretty much started hating the extra weight of the limited. The limited is better when it’s cold, windy, or riding 2-up. Otherwise I usually take the RK
