Road King Classic or Street Glide???
So, I've been lurking around the forum for quite a while and been reading up on all reports, reviews and impressions available. I've narrowed down my choices for a new (to me) touring model to either the RKC or the Street Glide.
Before you guys start posting the obvious suggestion, which is to test-ride both back to back, what I'd really like to know is what YOU think, why did YOU choose one over the other.
I've already got great deals lined up for either one of the two from my local dealer ('11 RKC and a '12 SG), now I've gotta make my mind up before someone else snags one of 'em and makes the choice for me.
I really like both models, albeit for different reasons.
I'd very much appreciate your comments.
Go.

I've owned a RKC and now an Ultra. I'd take the SG because of the fairing. You can be on it all day and not be beat up by the wind. Depending on the windshield you put on it, you can get as much wind in the face as you would like but the fairing keeps the wind off your body.
The RKC with the 16" WWW tires looks classic and I think RKC's ride nice with the taller side wall of the tire. I love the RKC look but I would still take the SG.

I like the flhrc better as I like to take the wind shield off when I am in town, but on long trips and in the winter I like the windshield..also the RK doesn't have the buffetting the dressers do...and personnally I don't like to listen to the radio, even on long trips, I prefer the sound of the wind and my thoughts...

I had two StreetGlides and just got another Road King. I got the standard. Why? the radio is nice but didn't have to have it. The MAIN reason is the ride difference. It's amazing how different only one inch of suspension is. Even with 50 lbs of pressure in the SG shocks, I bottomed out way too often and when the GF was on the back, we hit frame even more. She's only 140 lbs so it's not a major weight thing. I'll stay with the Road King and the windshield on it works just fine on long trips.
