A guy rode with us one day on a royal star...and when we stopped at the bar for a drink he parked in the back and sat at a different table....he also put on an Osama Bin Laden mask so no one would notice the bike. I like the Road King.
Owned two Road Kings in the past I'm looking at a Royal Star tour deluxe or another King for a new bike - any thoughts???
As has been stated, of course everyone will say HD. But bottom the lineis.. get what makes you happy. I've owned many Jap bikes and for my perferences I went HD. It just "feels" like a real bike on the open road.. no other way to explain it (for me).
I like the venture, also look at the new Stratoliner loaded for the road? Don't have the resale of a roadking but hopefully your buying it to ride and not resale. It all boils down to what you want. If you go to a star site they will tell you to get the Yamaha. I will tell you that I have owned both Metric and Harley's and I keep going back to the Harley. Had a Roadking before my deluxe and loved it.
