I voted Road King because that is what I have, but if I could afford to buy a new bike I would seriously look at the Ultra, on our trip to the Grand canyon this last week I helped load the best looking Ultra I have ever seen, it lost it's charging system, it was a 99, same year as my King, and same color Sinister blue over pearle, the blue on that bike was beautiful.
I guess that's not a reason to by any bike...yes it is!

I bought the Classic and later made it an Ultra. That said, I love the clean looks of the Street Glide. If I had a SG I'd for sure add a detachable Tour Pack.

You could buy a street glide, or an ultra and be different, just like everyone else. Or, you could be the King of the Road. Your choice.

Get the Ultra. I traded my Heritage for a 2009 Ultra this last May. I got over 3000 miles on it and love it. You can't beat the storage and the ride.

Easy answer: Like others say, "Ultra !". That's what I did. Wanted to go with SG, but Ultra stole my heart.
