Default heritage classic or road king

I am torn between the heritage classic or the road king. If anyone has experience with both bikes, I would love to hear opinions.

thank you.

I don't like saddles with studs, so I vote for a RK. Just me

I've ridden both and didn't like the King. Felt like I was riding on it. Softails feel like you are a part of the bike. Best advice rent them both, then decide.

Never cared much for studs either til I bought these bags - now they rock! lol

About the two bikes in question, cant help you other than to say I like my softail.

Heritage is a little more versatile.

This is exactly why I purchased a Heritage.

I like em both...Like many have said, I dont care for the Studs myself either. Thats one of the reasons why I went for a Deluxe, which I can set up for touring my own way....I do like the RKC as well....You just gotta ride both and see which feels more comfortable for you...I was torn between the Street Glide and the Deluxe...I went for the Deluxe just because it looks that much better..Ride quality is excellent on both bikes and I can't say either one is better than the other in my own opinion...

I was looking for a used RK for a while before I bought my 06 Fatboy, nothing good came up, I mean RK is such a great bike, nobody wants to sell it. I have ridden both and I like the softail better, smooth ride and I am right into it.
