Road Kings are great motorcycles and very versatile.

Have fun with it.

Made the same move a while back. The Sporty was great but the King is simply the KING.

I kept my Sporty when I bought my Limited. Its fun to jump on it every once in a while and go for a ride.

YUP! I have fond memories of the Sportster, but I don't miss it. The RKC does everything the Sporty could do, but better.
