Default 13 classic

Hello all newbie here with a new road king classic .
Man it's been hot here in the northeast and I really want to enjoy this bitching bike and looking forward to some nice upgrades but there's one
thing I was wondering .when you ride on a touring bike coming from a heritage softail and your coming to a stop or downshifting or even just lettin off would it be normal for it to shake more than the softail ? I am 6 ft tall and I fell like I'm riding on a rice burner ?

yes....rubber mounted motor with NO countershaft. But smooth as silk when under power moving down the road.
