There are several copycat road king models made by various companies, I decided to buy the original. Nothing but a Harley for me.

If the price was right, I might have used it as a stepping stone, but was patient and found the right RK at a great price. No regrets.

No consideration of anything but my RKC.

+1 Exactly. Of course, it always "sounds" good to ride to Alaska and knock around Canadian back roads on one of those scoots...but the reality? Hmmm maybe not.

I'm real happy with the RK and I like being part of the tradition. I like everything about my RK and you couldn't pay me to switch to anything else.

I know 2011 Cross Roads can have soft or hard bags...is there a big difference between the CR and RK?
Nope... Nix... Nein.... Nada... Naw... Mola.... No-way

When I was younger raising a family I had to ride Honda`s due to my economics, always was very envious of the Harley`s that were around loved the look and sound..nothing compared, Im on my third Harley now two Road Kings and a soft tail...test drove a Victory..not for me..nothing comes close to Harley`s prestige, look and sound...it`s awesome town hopping on the weekends with 6-7 Hogs...the sounds, the look, and you always meet other awesome folks on Harley`s at stops or rally's who share the Harley passion...nothing like it...nothing...
