welcome from so fla....i had a road king and loved it...my wife enjoys riding as a passenger so i went up the ladder to a full touring bike...but as mentioned above you need to weigh your riding needs. both bikes are great and both look great...good luck on your decision let us know when you buy it and post some pics of the new baby.
If you wana see two examples of the Road King and Deluxe looking the best they prolly can.... check out Whiplushs Deluxe and Big Teds Road King. The Deluxe was Ride of the Month not tooo long ago, and the Road King is in next months running now.
hi harvey,
welcome here and hope you enjoy the place. not too much to add to whats already been said so go for, sit on some and try a ride if you can and go with what feels right. good luck on your search and send us a pic once you make your choice. stay safe
Thanks for the quick responses...I guess I would say that I will be a 70% in town cruiser and 30 % weekend road trips of 200 to 400 miles...Also, I wonder what my height of 6' 1' and inseam of 32-33 inches might be a factor...but you are right...ned to test drive these babies...Fianlly, I did not really consider the Heritage classic...what is the difference in its set up from the deluxe?
