Road Kings area nice allround bike. If you want the BEST touring bikefor ride and stabilityon long rides, the RoadGlide is the best bike. I've ridenevery Harley except for the Rocker and the Crossbones and I can honestly say that the RoadGlide is the best over all purpose built touring bike.Don't get me wrong, the RoadKing is a great bikefor what it does. And it does ride smoother than a Heritage on the open road.
