I rode both on the same day, same highway. My Heritage is great with the balanced engine, especially below 65. The Road King is good below 65 but does have some vibration to deal with. Above 65 it feels ready to take off. Both are great rides but different.
I do not do much touring . Basically just cruise around town, looking for a bike with a 2nd passenger comfort. I don't do much more than 2-3 hrs at a time.

With the riding style you're describing you'll probably be happier with the Softail.
ride them both...my fatboy is veeerryyy smooth, but i like the rk. u cant go wrong-but even if u have to rent each for the day, do it. it'd be better than regretting your purchase.
