I did just the opposite. I traded my 2010 Ultra for a 2012 Road King Classic, and I haven't looked back. Good luck with your decision.

Dealer often offers a loan when major work is done.
Last month I was at the dealer a rider from out of town stopped in for an oil change while on the road. Turns out his front fork seal were leaking bad. Deal gave him a loaner to ride around the area on while his was being repaired. I ended up riding with him showed him some great roads to ride in the area.
Not uncommon at all.
That is how I ended up on my first RG was offered one as a loan while my bike was getting some work done.

Many people here talk about MISSING their King. Maybe you might be one of them.

The more you ride that limited, the more the percentage of you getting one will rise. I went from a RKC to my limited as well, sometimes I feel like I miss my RKC, then I ride my Limited again and that voice in my head slaps me silly, lol.
