I like Road Kings, but I don't tour-some questions
#22
You stated you liked the Softail based soley on appearance. If you're not going to do any touring at all and strongly like the looks of the Softail I'd go with that one. I've got a Road King because I prefer its looks and it rides better for me than a Softail. If you take both on a test ride and they are about equal in your opinion but still like the looks of a Softail then it's a no brainer...go with the Softail. If the only reason you're ruling out the Road King is because you think it will be too big or bulky for daily driving you'd be making a mistake.

The road king is a cool bike for sure.
I would consider the road glide or street glide. Those would offer all the same as the RK and more.
Save the trouble of trading again in a year or so. The RK leaves something more to move up to(my opinion) If you like the road king you'll probably like the batwing or road glide fairing and the sound system that they offer.
And if you are over 45 yrs. just go for the ultra...lol

If you haven't made up your mind by now to get a King, let me help you... get a King. It is arguably the most versatile motorcycle in the HD lineup - cruising, touring, bar hopping, you can do them all with a King. It is not a race bike obviously, so it is not as nimble as one; but for a large vehicle, I find that it is agile, quick, and responsive. Plus it looks so damn good. IMHO, it is the best looking motorcycle of all the Harley's. But, I'm a tad prejudiced...

Buying a King will be the best decision you could possibly make. Just about 95% of my riding is around town on my RKC. Not only is it comfortable, it tracks nice and is easy to spend time on. I especially like riding it without the windshield attached....its looks like a different bike when set up that way.
