I dont care about what a blonde girls says, I care about performance.. here is why I bought a 2009 RK:
-------
Why upgrade to a 2009 H-D touring model?
There are too many updates to the 2009 Harley-Davidson touring models to list. If you own a 2003 through 2008 model the 2009 lineup deserves serious consideration. Here are some key improvements:
All-new frame
4-Point engine isolation system
Swingarm with forged pivot section
Re-tuned suspension
Increased passenger room
17” front wheel (except the Road King Classic)
Improved ground clearance allows increased lean angles
70 lbs. more total carrying capacity
Re-designed Isolation Drive System

Love all H-D motorcycles..
I heard that this color comes with a free rainbow t-shirt. Why? Just Why? When there are colors like black, black pearl or anything dark. Why pay 20 grand for a Barney bike? I'm just saying there are way better colors out there. Two guys pull up to a stop light next to a car full of blondes. One guy is on a black Road King and the other is on a Purple/Silver Road King. Who would the girls look at and who would they make fun of? Food for thought.

No, I waited for mine as well!
I have wanted a purple H-D for several years. I saw the Big Purple Flake in Sturgis 2008. When I got back to Santa Fe, I went and talked to them about getting mine ( I am on the 10 year plan - get a new H-D every 10 years ). Anyway I wanted 10 months for mine! Worth the wait!
