Test rode one. It has a few problems the handle bars are real uncomfortable, to narrow and bent on the wrong angle. The vent in the windshield is a joke causes more problems than it trying to cure.
The green color was nice and that was about it

Thanks stratplexi! So far this is the best pic I've seen of the color. (Yes, I bought it without seeing or riding it...)

So it's like every other factory bike, the bars suck...

I opted for the anniversary road king in 2013. The audio system and the ability to ride without a windscreen was the seller for me. If course the usual mods have been done with pipes air and chip. Vance Hines true duals and power rounds really ad a thump to the exhaust note. Highly recommended.

If I had it to do over...I would opt for the CVO Road King instead of my Streetglide. Same reason...ability to remove the windshield. I get tired of the batwing. It's nice when on the superslab, raining or cold out. But, the flip side is you can't remove it on those hot days. I also have a love/hate relationship with the way it looks. Sometimes I think it looks really cool and other times I think it looks akin to rice. Anyway, it's my third batwing bike and my last. Road King gives you the touring frame in a traditional motorcycle package. The CVO is the creme de la creme. I prefer the 14 over the 13 but both years are awesome!

Needs a custom, mostly red seat. Or whatever that color on the bike is.

I hadn't seen it without the pillion. That's totally a "tramp-stamp"... Good thing I'm into that sort of thing.
