I have my UC so I think I'd have to say Road King. Have always liked them. Just like the looks of 'em.

It depends... Are you carrying a passenger? I had a blast on the street glide. Awsome bike in turns and to just ride. Road King, the look and comfort is great. Both are awsome machines! The best is the bike I have. I have a 2008 Anniversary Ultra and would not trade it for street glide, road king, or any bike... It is the nicest bike I have ever rode or owned. I would suggest renting the different models for the day and then decide which is best for you... (If you wife or girlfriend rides with you, the Ultra is hands down the best in my book)

My choice is obvious and my reasoning is simple.

In my opinion, the Road King is the most versatile, flexable, and adaptable bike of those listed.

just my 2 bits, your opinion may vary,
