Don't know about more nimble than the 'Bob (I had a 2009 until Sandy took it from me), but they don't call it the Road "King" for nuthin'! It's a beaut! Enjoy and ride safe!

Nice bike. You'll love it. I kept my heritage but picked up a '12 King with just under 5500 miles on it. I enjoy both but the Road King is my 1st choice when going out. I think they're hard to beat.

Nice bike, looks to be bone stock as well.

Went to the King from a Wideglide back in October. Then the snow came and I am still waiting for the chance to enjoy it.
