Second bike?
Gents,
I currently own a 2016 flss and I would like to add a second harley to the family. A "long distance" bike seems to be the right direction. which bike would you buy with a budget of 17000$CAN or if you prefer 13000$US :-). I'm looking to a 2009 FLHTCU with 55000km and a 96. Do I have better options?
Thanks in advance for your help

I had an 05 electra glide an it was so heavy I sold it an got a 99 Fatboy...my GF says she's more comfortable on the FB, but we don't ride long between breaks, maybe 2 hours. She does not like riding on my other bike, guess V rods aren't good for passengers.
They do have a few around, but haven't seen a nice one for the $13K he has budgeted..

I bought a sport bike for my 2nd bike because I wanted something completely different. Completely changed the way I ride motorcycles for the better.

I'm not "smart" enough to have a sport bike, already owned a 2005 Yamaha R1 raven edition......And to be honest I was playing with my life and since I've got two kids.....and a wife....well you got the picture! May be at 75 years old when I'll be more mature.
The Road glide would be a nice choice, already considered! But too expensive versus my price range as TSheff mentionned, haven't seen a nice one for 13k.

Something between an Heritage Softail and a Road King ? The dealer has a 2010 RK (FLHRC) with only 10650km (a garage queen?) for 12500$US equipped with a back rest, lugguage rack etc.
