Good day to you all! My name is Joe and this is my first post; yay me!
I’ve been riding 13 years and have owned a few bikes:
99 H-D Fat Boy
04 H-D Fat Boy
06 H-D Sportster 883
07 Honda Shadow Sabre 1100
07 Honda 919
06 Honda Elite 80 (hey, it was free... )
I have been eyeing up a 2019 Road King Special (in midnight blue). I am aware that some people have had issues with the power train in the M8 equipped bikes, some haven’t. I feel confident enough that if I do run into any issues that I will be able to sort it out.
I got to ride the RKS a couple days ago. Having spent a fair amount of time on a twin cam 88 and 96 engine bike (I used to work for the local dealer a decade ago), I was quite surprised how well balanced the M8 engine is and how good the whole vehicle was. For weighing 783 pounds, it sure as hell didn’t feel like it.
Anyways, thank you for having me here. I look forward to getting to know some of you. Have a great day!
