Road King Custom, I like the looks better than the classic or standard and Harley dropped them from their line this year so there will be less of them out there.
I like the pull back bars on the custom, I am hopeing to find one for my RK. It fits me alot better than the stock RK Classic bars.
I got the classic because of the overall looks of the bike. To me it just has that nastalgic "old school" look.The cruise control is a bonus. (I could live with it or without).
I had to think long and hard about the same question last year and it really comes down to the look. Major differences are the bags (obviously) the wheels, seat, cruise control vs no cruise, wide whitewall tires vs small white strip.
I went with the 08 Classic. The nostalgic looks takes you back to a different era, yet the bike has all of the modern conveniences of EFI, Cruise control, and TBW.
