I love my 2020 RKS it's River Rock Grey Denim, I was always a Dyna guy when I was ready to sell my Fat Bob and looking at new bikes I was gravitating to the Road Glide. When I saw the RKS and took it for a test ride....Sold. Love it, love the look. Once the warrantee expires in goes an S&S cam to get the Harley sound which I feel is lacking with the M8's Your bike looks great...Ride Safe!!!

I’ve got the 21 RKS. As with all of the RKS owners, we love em, it’s why we bought them. I like that Harley Davidson makes subtle changes year to year, or we be buying cookie cutter bikes. I like the wheels on the 19, I like em in the 21. I personally think the Road King, classic or Special is the true icon, nuts and bolts, motorcycle. All are great machines, with owners who appreciate the feel of riding a motorcycle , not a two wheeled, convertible! Hey, if that’s your thing, go for it. Just ride, it’s what it’s about !

I've had 9 Harley's in my lifetime. 1 Fatboy (03), 1 Deluxe (08), 1 CVO Road Glide (12), 1 Ultra LTD (18 have now), 2 Street Glides (06 & 15) and... 3 Road Kings (03, 13 have now and 12 have now). The Road King to me (in any of its manifestations (Base, Classic or Special) is the most versatile bike HD makes. It can be many things to its owners and likely why I have had more of those (and still have 2) than any other model. The current run on Road King Specials (blacked out models) to me are some of the best bikes HD has ever produced. I intend on having one someday in the next couple years, either after selling the LTD or.. if I can convince my wife 4 bikes is a good idea again... :) Anyway, nice bike, ride safe!

Hi Bob. I have a 2020 RKS with the Windsplitter shield. I modified the mounting system to achieve fore and aft adjustment (good for fitting apes and raising the shield to raise the bubble over your head). Also secures against theft. Windsplitter is a great shield. 100 mph smooth as glass. But it will walk off since it doesn’t secure to the bike.

I have an 04 Road King Classic. It isn't black and is covered in chrome and my favorite. I've been looking at newer bikes and they don't suit me so much. I get a lot of looks on my old girl, it has some mods like the Reinhardt pipes, the LED conversion, a green underglow on the chrome, so it looks good day or night. Sad thing is it still has the 88ci engine but it runs great and has enough power for cruising around. I do wish it had the 6 speed instead of the 5 but it is what it is. I'm not sure I would change it for a newer bike to be honest. If anything I would change the jugs and sprockets to change the ratio a little.

So, your only noteworthy comment after 2000 miles is "loads of power, bum hurts, looks good"? How disappointing..... how does it drive, brake, corner, act under load...... pffff....

Do you think the Road King is easier to handle than the street glide with its large fairing up high ?

Great question, and I'm probably not the best person to answer this. I have very little experience on a Street Glide. I can tell you that the Road King handles great. Try a test ride of both at your local dealer. Thank you for watching. I really appreciate it.

@@kennethanderson1685 your Heritage sounds amazing!!! As for the Road King, I obviously prefer the Special, and I have owned a standard Road King, so I'm familiar with both. The 114 motor is something else!!!! You really need to take one for a ride. Thank you for your service to our country and thank you for watching. I really appreciate it.

Hi, I'm thinking of purchasing a new fatboy and wondered if you had any thoughts on that model?
@bobrose3298

Hi Dan, and thanks for watching! The Fatboy! An iconic bike that never goes out of style. The bike looks great and has a ton of attitude. I'm sure that with the new softail frame, it handles well, but having said that, the wide rear tire will affect handling. I'm a huge fan of the Fatboy and recommended it for commuting and short to medium rides. I don't think it will fair too well as a long distance bike, and it's not designed to. I recommend determining the type of riding you'll be doing and test riding one. I hope this helps!

Also, if you know that there is a chance of rain on a day you plan to ride, you can pack a cover for the bike. It should easily fit in a swingarm bag or backpack.
