I'm getting more and more used to it. The first turn I made the night I picked it up, I drug the boards. My buddy said "It's not a R1 you know"!

I do love it. It makes riding on the streets fun again.

Its great, isn't it? I was dead set on a VFR (without VTEC, thank you very much) until I rode with about 600,000 of my other friends in Washington DC on Memorial Day. There's a kind of smile one can't erase from the face of a Harley rider. I get lots of ribbing from my sport bike buds but now they're thinking I'm going to have room to carry THEIR stuff on longer rides.

Well....I did it!

Wifey a little irritated about the $, but she likes the comfort.

I was worried about the size of the bike, but it is not a problem at all. I'm very pleased!

Excellent! Nice ride!

Been there, done that too. The Road King certainly fits my age and riding style a lot better than the BMW R1100RT I used to have. Scratch that Harley itch and buy your Ultra.

I would look at the Road King Firefighter Edition. I have an RK Police and feel its the best of both worlds - at home on the open road as well as running errands around town.
