Default Back on a Classic

A little back history. Aug 2018 bought my first HD, a 2019 HC 114 in Billiard Blue/White. Great bike! Then Apr 2019 I trade it for 2019 RGS in Billiard Blue. Again great bike, but I always felt the HC rode better. So yesterday, after a lot of contemplation, I traded the RGS for a 2019 HC 114 in Rawhide. I took a test ride to compare the the two bikes and I was right. The HC suspension is so much better than the RGS. So glad to be back on a HC!

Glad you are on something you like, but that sure is a lot of trading in a short period of time.

Same deal here. Started with a 2018 Heritage, traded for a 2018 Road King thinking my wife would ride along more than she has. Just traded back to a 2020 Heritage and could not be happier. The Heritage rides so much better and is much more enjoyable around town.
