I'd gotten real used to the Wide (motorcycle, dammitt!!) then took the Road King Classic out for its first spin after fixing it. What an awesome first impression. It really does feel.....substantial, under you. But not in an awkward, bulky way. Hard to explain. Just a stable, low, balanced, "manly"(!?!?!) feel to it. After riding it for a month or two, I rode the Wide again. As I slowed to a stop at stop signs, the front really wants to fall off to the right or left...noticeable effort to hold the bars straight if they're not centered. That goes away with just a little speed. At any speed, the RKC wants to self-center, but remains effortless to push the bars to either side for turning. Still haven't ridden the Ultra, but expect it to be very similar to the King.
