Default 05 RK Custom EFI

Am looking for an HD and ran across a RK custom efi today with about 3500 miles. Can get probably for 13,500. Is perfect shape. Was actually looking for a Dyna Super Glide Custom as I just want something I can hop on and ride. Love the Street Glide too. Anyway, love the RK Classic but have not ridden a custom. Not sure I like the beach bars so would change those out. Can anybody give me some input? Seems like a good price but don't want to get something I will regret later. Thoughts???

Thanks!

Mike

Is this your first HD?
Price seems fair. It really depends on what you want. How'sthe bike feel, fit and look to you. I like all HD's, from Sportster on up. If your just puttin' around town orwant to do anovernighter here and there,anyHD would work for me.

Road king is one of the best rides out there , change the bars to fit your needs, you won't be disapointed

Chuck,

Yes this is my first HD. Have been off the street for a while but have been riding dirt and moto. Am 48 and time to get back tot he street. Am looking at theDyna Super Glidde Custom and RK Classic. Bit of a difference between the two but both great bikes. I just want an HD to hop on and ride for fun. Don't see a lot of long trips yet. Live in Arkansas and we have lots of mountain areas to ride and beautiful scenery to view. Will most likely be on more 2 lanes and back roads versus interstate. Saw the RKC and checked it out. Was actually at a Honda dealer and saw it sitting outside and stopped in.

Thanks,

I've got an 05 RK/custom, and a 02 Heritage, the RK/C is starting to get most of the ridding time, you won't be sorry, about the bars, for me it was something to get used to, but, i do have plans on changing them in the near future.

I owned an '06 Super Glide Custom and an '05 RK Custom at the same time, for about a year.

SG sat in the garage chromed up and looking good. The RK got all the riding time.

I am adding a RK to my toy box. When I go 2 up or take a 3 hour ride, I am thinking the RK will be the ride. When bar hoppin, I think my WG will get the nod... We'll see..... IMHO the RK is easier to ride than the Dyna BTW... Dunno if it means anything, but it seemed to me I saw more women riding touring bikes than Sportsters. I think maybe the reason is they are easier to handle.

I love my 05 custom. Wouldnt have anything else. I do have a handlebar problem though. I am on my 4th set and looking to change them out now. Going to try some street slammers or something of the sort.
