Where's your spirit of adventure?! What happened to the pioneer......
I've travelled on my Harleys and Buells through France, Germany, Holland, Austria, Czech Republik, Slovakia, Slovenia, Poland, Hungary, Croatia. When you have an idle moment take a look at the H-D website and find the Harley dealers in the more Eastern of those - and bearing in mind I have an S&S engine in my Glide, where their dealers are, anywhere in Europe!
C'mon - chin up and face the World!
Not sure that counts since the parts to it are scattered throughout your house!!!!
Back on topic, I would definitely choose the EG, but I already have a cruisin' bike. On the tangent, I prefer a carb; more fun to own and work on, if needed. Good luck!
I think the most important part of the question is that both are '96.... That was a big year, I dont think you can go wrong with either, it really depends on how it was treated and how you'll use it.. In my personal opinion, it would be EG with no additional thought. It's a more complete bike. The RK is cool, but thats about where it ends to me. My '95 now sports a '96 RK seat to make it more comfortable and get my ***** off the tank, I've just returned from an 8k mi trip and could have easily stayed on the road if work and finances didn't call me back..
well a little upgrade on this tread, rode the EG home yesterday, the weathergods was against me but the batwing took care of most of it, the bike was clean when i started realy liked how it felt, going to change the bars and seat ant the windshield other than that i´m a happy camper, thanks for all your input so far.
