I agree with the poeple who said sitting "on" a road King classic, as opposed to sitting "in" a Heratige. My question is... what about the Road King Custom as compared to the Heratige?

I love my 2003 Heritage. I've riden with touring bikes and I had NO problem keeping up with any miles they were willing to ride.
Also, I've riden Road Kings. It's true the sit "in" a softtail "on" a touring bike thing. Rent each and decide. If I were buying new, the ABS and six gallon tank only available on the touring bikes might sway me towards a Road King.

The REAL difference:
The RK is a great Touring bike, smooth and nimble. No arguments about it.
The Heritage is a light touring bike but foremost, a Softail. A "retro-look"design built on the looks of the old FL models that were once built on a Rigid frame. The frame has improved over the years with a hidden suspension underneath that still gives the Softail a Rigid frame appearance.
The best part about the Hearitage Softail is stripping off the saddlebags and showing a "clean" rear fender devoid of shock absorbers and saddlebag mounting brackets.
