Without a doubt get the Bagger. I have both and my Softail has a battery tender on it and my Bagger does not (guess which one I ride the most).

With a Softail, you stop every few hours to REST and get gas if you need it. With a Bagger you stop every few hours to get gas.
Time goes by quick on a Bagger, much more enjoyable to ride for sure.

The Road King is a timeless machine but the Electra-Glide is the most comfortable and nimble.

+1 on Electra-Glide

Good Luck.
