I went with the standard for the hard bags ,cast wheels,and the regular touring suspension.Either choice is good.

 

I bought the classic

 

Get the Classic, it's faster.

 

My standard came with cruise, spoked rims are a chore, hard bags are bigger, weatherproof, and lockable. I like the looks of a standard over a classic. Cant really go wrong with either bike.

 

Get what you like. I got the Classic cuz I liked the looks. Some even say the leather bags are bigger. I don't know about that but they do give a little so if your crammin them it works.

All in what look ya like. Can't go wrong with either. Have fun making your choice.

 

I just got a 2010 RK after going through the same questions. I ended up with the hard bags because I wanted more security and I didn't want the lace spoke wheels. I really like the looks of the Road King Classic but I really like my vivid black Road King.

Standard, hard bags for me.

 

I went with the hard bags. The look just grabbed me and I had to buy it.


"01 RK

 

I'm ridin' a '10 Road King FLHR. I really like the looks of the Classic, however, I didn't want to deal with the high maintenance of keeping the whitewalls clean (nothin' worse looking than a RK classic with dirty whitewalls). In addition to keeping the whitewalls clean, you gotta keep those wire wheels clean and shined up. Also, I did not want a tire with a tube in it.

So, because I'm basically lazy, I went with the FLHR and not the FLHR Classic.

 

One tough choice, I went with the classic,the dealer did not have a standard so gave me classic same price. Love the look.
