. . . I was considering a Heritage. After a little research, the RK was about the same price as a Heritage. A lot more bike. Life is good!

 

Congrats, you will love it

 

same here, but with a Deluxe, more bike for less $$$!!

 

Best riding/ handling street bike I've ever had! I'm sure you won't regret it

 

Cool! Enjoy

 

Good decision as you will discover more and more.

Congratulations!

 

Fatboy for me. I've wanted one for so long but as I got older I needed more bag space and FB's just don't look good with bags imo. But I will admit I still drool over them, especially the Lo. I've also been eyeing Road Glides.....I really gotta stay out of dealerships!

 

Well you made a good choice, congrats and enjoy! I couldn't be happier with mine!

 

I bought one too. One of the BIGGEST differences is the ride quality compared to a Softail. I've owned a 2010 Deluxe. The Softails look nice with that hardtail look but when it comes down to haulin a passenger is wasn't even close to the comfort of a touring frame and suspension plus cornering clearance is much better.

 

Yeah, most people don't realize that the cool, low-slung look of the softails comes at the cost of handling. The Road King has a MUCH greater lean angle and is much more nimble in the twisties.
