I wanted a large bike with good ground clearance because I'm a heavy guy. And while I'm mostly riding just for fun, 2-3 hours at a time on country roads, the Road King keeps the option open to strip off the bags and fairing in a few minutes, or take a weekender if I choose. I knew I wanted the abs brakes and security and I like the leather bags, so going with the classic was the perfect choice. And when I test road the bike I was very pleased with the ride.

FLHTC because I bought the bike for 2 up riding/touring. I suppose I could have gotten a SG and added a tour pack or even gone with a RK but it was cheaper and easier to get what I want going with an Electraglide from the start.

The 75 sporty - 'cause it was 600 bucks and I got to build it into exactly what I wanted at the time. A light, loud, chopped, bar-to-bar bike.
The 84 FXR - The best handeling big twin that HD has ever made. Loved the rubber mount and the 5 speed, rides started getting a lot longer with more highway.
The 89 FLHT - wanted a highway bike that I could do lots of touring on.
The 11 SG - wanted the new frame, ABS, the 103 and the 6 speed , makes eating miles day after day a friggin joy.
