Smile What was I thinking?
Nothing against my '07 Heritage, but i just traded that bike in for '12 RKC. WOW! I thought my buddies were buddies. Why in the hell would they let me get that bike? I love the FLHRC. Everything about it is comfortable and makes sense to me. It seems way more stable at any speed and the seat doesnt hurt my coccyx either. I'm Happy!

I hear that for 2014 the Road King is being discontinued along with some other models. Does anyone know if that will that include the Road King Classic?

Congrats on the new bike, glad to hear you're enjoying it so much. The Road King is a fantastic machine. I'm fast approaching 100,000 miles on mine and LOVE IT. No end in sight and I plan to run it up to 200,000 and beyond.

I just washed mine this morning and will be leaving early Friday morning for a ride up to Los Angeles. Plan to cruise around Sherman Oaks, Mulholland Dr, etc.

The RK is a very versatile bike. You can run it stripped down or set it up with Tourpak, GPS, etc or anything in between.

I had read that the RKC discontinued in North America and RK in Europe and Latin America.
The ElectraGlide series discontinued

Congrats on the new ride, I know how you feel too. I enjoyed the low seat height of the Heritage but other then that it's the RK all the way!
