Eh, I wouldn't trade my old, high mile Road King for a brand new Softail if I had to ride it.

Since most buyers of Harleys today are old farts I'm really not too surprised.

Prices are not holding up as well on used Heritages as on used Touring bikes from what I have seen.

I dunno,seem to around here.....I love my King but if I had to go to something else,it'd be a Heritage...hell it's as much a tourer as a King,big *** bags,etc,plus you can go springer if ya want......I've road my buddies 100th annivesary multiple times and I love it.

I'm sure Sprotster sales probably trump them. But then I've heard I'm stupid.....

LMAO liked that one

Gotta keep the softail, Ive had all kinds of bikes. Everything from Hyabusa, to my current Deluxe. The day I bought mine, I was looking at a SG, but Im so tall, and the Glide doesnt sit real low. Then the guy told me, a Deluxe is really a Girls bike, tyring to get me to buy the SG. Im 6'6'' 270lbs, told him, I'll take the deluxe. lol, he laughed and said OK then. No point to the story, but Ill have my DELUXE til I DIE!!!!!!!
