RE: My first Road King impression
It really depends on what model you go for hotlap. If cruise control is an issue, the RK Classic and Ultra Classic Electra Glidehave it. If you want a comfortable touring bike without all the bells and whistles, the Electra Glide Standard ($15,995) is the best bang for the buck. Both models have air adjustable rear suspension and a touring chassis. The Electra Glide has a more comfortable seat, but italso weighs more and hasa full fairing. Riding both should narrow it down.

Going from a sporty to a road king. Isn't that like going from Jenna Jameson to Rosie O'donnell?

One thing I have to tell you, when you sit on this RK, you don't even want to beat the shlt out of it, I was taking it easy and have great fun, I fall in love with this baby. [8D]Alex

I just rode a 98 springer and it was NICE! I could have ridden it for days!
I have always liked the RK tho and would love one as long as it has the hard bags on it. I just can't get used to the leather type bags.
