My fun bike is a '05 RKC with a 103" stroker and the trip bike is a '08 Ultra. Best of both worlds! &nbsp\\;My oldest son flies in from Washington state and the RKC stays gone until he has to leave!

My second choice is the vrod.&nbsp\\; That is a fun bike for short rides.&nbsp\\; I'd only consider one with forward controls.

I'd love to have a Sucker Punch Sally but it's a lot of cash for a second bike so I'd have to go with the XL1200N Nightster hopped up a little bit.

I've got a nice big Harley Tourer, and if I were looking for a lighter bike with similar functionality I'd probably go with a sport tourer as the second bike in the stable. The Kawi Concourse 14 packs a punch in that department, but there are others I'd consider too.

If I were just looking for a bar hopper, proabably a Fat Bob or a Rocker. Don't care much for the Crossbones. /shrug

Traded my Superglide in on my King, and to be honest my King is just as easy if not easier to ride around town.

I gotta say this Nighttrain I just got is beginning to steal my heart...for my other bike.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; I'd say that low slung 'outlaw' feeling bike would be a great contrast to a rk or any other touring bike.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; just my opinion...

Now I'm kind of thinkin about adding another to my stable, like maybe a rk, or even a fatboy......damn I want one of each....lol
