A buddy is wanting a Road King and was asking about mine. I've got an 07 Police with the 103"/6 speed and all the hp/tq I need. His logic is that he's not going to get on it and go across country, more of an around town and day-tripper kinda guy (Like me). I've never ridden an 88" bike and honestly can't tell him if that would be enough motor.
If we were to plan a trip to the Rocky's, would he have any problems going up? He's 275#'s

RE: Motors
Are you kidding? The RK will have more than enough guts to go to the Rockies or anywhere else he wants to take it.
I ride a Sportster with a considerably smaller motor. I have ridden it long distances and it was enough to pull my fat azz anywhere I wanted to go!

Most of my 88 RK's miles are in the Rockies, no problem, we're > 300# 2 up.
