Holy Cannoli ! Looks like the new RKC is kicking some major azz. Well, it was my first choice. Just second guessing myself I suppose. Thanks so much for the input guys and gals !

I was torn between the two as well. I always love the looks of the heritage. It felt "right" when i sat on one too. But when i found out a Road King standard was basicaly the same price, it was a no brainer! To me, and this is just my opinion, the Road King is way more bang for the buck. Depending on how tall you are you may want to consider the seat height between the two. I don't mind that its heavy but the fact that the ***** of my feet are just touching the ground can make for some un-nerving situations. I found that the Road King Classic is a hair taller then my standard.

You could go either way and be very happy.
Hertiage is a touring bike, but with a softail rear end. It's an "FL"....ST.
The Road King has dual front discs, and the rear suspension on the Road King is more plush for HEAVY touring...but again either one will do.
If it were up to me, I'd get the Road King....but I may be talked out of it!
P.S. The Heritage needs an engine guard for highway pegs!

No brainer for me. I HATE the B motor. I love softails but I hate that motor and will not own one because of it (unless it was a CVO, I might be able to get past it then

I own a Heritage and plan on a second bike in the next couple years (probably a Road Glide Custom) just because I would like to have a touring bike as well. That being said, if I had to own only one bike that could do everything well, it would be an RK Standard.
