Are you confusing Road Kings with Road Glides?

 

Yes. Yes I am LMAO. Been at work since 230am. I'm struggling lol

 

A Fat Bob is something you buy once you already own a Road King. It's a second bike, nothing more...

 

I think the fat bob is more of a personal cruiser bike...

 

There's big differences between the 2 styles and how you feel about them reflects several factors like your age, health, skill levels and general type riding you do. Both machines are solid but geared toward different riding styles and conditions. Fat Bob a local bike and does it very well, RK is entry level long haul machine, I personally use mine as my daily commuter in in town traffic, while it can get heavy sometimes cannot beat the overall comfort factor it provides, also having the saddlebags have gotten real good to me, no more strapping **** down when you need to carry something daily.

 

For a lot of people, a bike will never see over a 100 miles in a day.
So a real bike to them is anything that will get them into the kool department at the local tavern for display.
So we all see what we envision for our needs
For a lot of us a "real" bike is set ready to go with bags fairing no towing it.
100 miles is b4 8am.
We would want nothing to do with a little stripped dwn plain jane .

 

 

 

Till you actually put in some seat time on an RK on various roads you won't see of feel the difference. Coming off 40 odd year riding smaller & lighter dyna type bikes to the heavier RK I was a bit out of my element and comfort zone at first with the bigger feel and more weigth, took all of a few weeks to lose that feeling. RK's a much more comfortable ride, seating position is more natural for me anyway and overall comfort is very good, feels much more solidly connected to the road than a light bike ever has and handles every bit as well in the twisties as my highly modified shovel which I set up specifically to canyon carve. Bike has a 30 degree lean angle, most riders won't use half that, chicken strip in my front tire is only a 1/2" wide and there's more there if you want to push it.

Specs won't tell you anything about the bike or how it rides, your *** is gonna do that. Rent one for a bit and get busy then make an educated decision. Difference is all in the ride & handling and nothing in print is going to get that across to you, you just have to experience it for yourself to understand.

PS. I've crossed this country several times on my shovelhead, wish I'd had a Road King for about 2/3's of it now I have one.
