Road King question?
OK! My friends and I havestarted aconversation over the weekend with no result!We were discussing the differences between the Heritage Softail Classic (FLSTC) and the Road King Classic (FLHRC)! Weknow and understand the chassis/frame, engine/transmissiondifferences and a few of us have been with H-D for quite a few years now!So here is the question![/align][/align]If you were to purchase one of these, and only one, what would really be the better all around H-D? Lets consider that most of us, but not all (at lease the people I know that ride) just ridelocally throughout the week back and forth to workand take the occasional long road trip on the weekend! What are the advantages to either, or disadvantages?[/align]

RE: Road King question?
I was stuck making a decision between the two and went with the RKC. For me is was all about feel! Everyone is different!

RE: Road King question?
I can't answer technically, but I always thought I would get a Heritage until I rode a Road King. After I got my King I swapped with a buddy who has a Heritage for a short ride and really missed my King.It just has a different ride. I do know the King has adjustable air suspension that the softail doesn't have. My King has the hard bag, which are bigger than the soft on either a RKC or Heritage which I like because my laptop fits in them. Just my $0.02

RE: Road King question?
The Road King Classic just feels like a bigger and more comfortable bike to me.I realize thats probably a subjective statement but its the best oneI can give.The ride and overall 'feel' of the touring framewon me over.
