My fatboy is for shot trips around town, single seat, loud pipes, saloon hoppin, duing burn-outs.
My 08 Ultra is smoooth, quite, for touring with the wifey.
They are two totaly differant bikes, I suppose a RK is someway in the middle

Ultra Glide all the way, once you get used to it works great for a daily driver also - as stated once you go fairing you'll never go back.
