Yeah....the other guys. But, I rented a 2009 Road King in San Diego last week and LOVED it!



Got back to Wisconsin (just north of HD central - Milwaukee) and took the BMW out. The whole time I was wishing I was back in warm California and riding that Road King! It's an amazing bike. Smooth. Comfortable. Didn't shake my arms off. I put 275 miles on that day and could have doubled that with enthusiasm. I've rented HDs before but the 2009 is a whole different animal imo. I signed on here to research up on the bikes with the thought that I might make one mine soon.

fully understand that you may still want to do more research but no need to delay any further, get that Road King ASAP
