I went from this:


to this:
2009 RKC





I loved my Ducati but I really didn't ride it anymore. I settled on a Road King Classic because I love the classic looks and I wanted something good for around town and also for long distances. I'm looking forward to riding in comfort for a change ;-)

I've never ridden this type of bike so I was scared sh*tless at the prospect of riding this thing home after I bought it. It turns out it's relatively easy to ride for being so freaking gigantic.

First mod is definitely going to be pipes. Then probably some sort of backrest on the passenger seat so my 9yo son will ride with me. The backrest is his idea and he insists. He's afraid of falling off the back ;-)

 

Congrats! Nice Ride.That is more of a transition than my ZRX1200 to my Roadie.
Still have the ZRX for when I feel the need but that is few and far between.

 

Very Nice Ride you got there!! Enjoy and Ride Safe

 

Congrats on the Ttransition. I made the jump about 5 years ago from an
sv1000 to my heritage. hay, We all gotta grow up sometime. Don't we???

 

Yeah, I hated to get rid of the Ducati but it just sits in the garage these days. I moved to Plano, TX from Southern CA a couple of years ago. In Socal I had mountains 10 minutes from my house. Here, not so much.

There may be some sort of curvy roads in my area but the Duc is too painful to ride any long distances to wherever they are.

It's time to go in a different direction. I'm looking forward to it.

 

Nice bike! i made the transition last year from a 2006 honda CBR600RR to a 08 SG! Dude i will never look back! your bike looks great!

and as far as the back rest goes deff get one for the passanger and yourself. my OL loves it and so do i!

 

Super looking bike. Looks like you definitely improved your stock.

 

Congrats as well.Purchased my 03 RK Classic last fall.Having my first season on it!
Love it...Lot more comfort than my other ride which is a classic Triumph 750cc.The weight quickly became a non event....although reverse would be nice!
Also had our first trip, to the HOG rally in Barrie,Ontario and got mostly good reports from the spousal passenger.

 

I went from a sport bike to my 05 road king 5 years ago and love put pipes on and the sound will make it feel fast

 

good for you...went from 'busa to dyna custom
