That looks like my "Dream Harley" when I was 10 years old, except mine was Black and White with white streamers coming out the end of the handle bars. I was reading the specks on your link page and I could not make any sense out of the fuel milage stats. Am I alone with this problem? D2

Me too - It appears that it consumes about 1 litre per 2 km which would give it a fantastic range of 40 km - if it didn't break down first!

Before you bash something you should at least own one or talk to someone who owns one - Harley Davidson are building some of the finest motorcycles in the world today - They don't leak oil - i hit the starter & it fires up - I don't have spline issues to worry about - At speed the engine is very smooth - smoother than my r65 - You simply don't know what the hell your talking about sir - If you can't afford a new Harley thats your problem not the problem of other folks here on the forum that migh enjoy them - When you slander HD you are also slandering me - I don't know know if there is a ignor member option with this forum but if there is i will use - I find your comments totally uncalled for -

Lou,

Is the weight low down? what's it like in traffic?

The Ultra handles very well in the city - Like all air cooled motors you will get some heat off the enging when stopped at signal lights but on the road it's a non-issue - The Ultra handles just as well as my GoldWing did - Goldwings had parking lot steering issues until the GL1800 came out - I like RK's but the Ultra rides better on the Highway & thats what I have the HD for is on the Big Roads - also Harley makes a "A" engine & a "B" engine - the B engine is balanced & thats the motor the RK has - it  has very little vibration at idle but when up to speed they vibrate - On my Ultra it shakes - rattles & rolls at idle but at speed it smooth - I had a power commander installed & a DYNO Tune when I installed the new intake & exhaust - - It smoothed my engine a lot - money well spent - Because of the EPA these motors really run lean!!!!!! thats the reason for that mod - HD doesn't want to sell these engines running this lean but they are forced to do so - Folks ride harleys for much the same reason many folks ride Airheads - They have a special feel - a feel that a new Goldwing or BMW water pumper just can't give you -

Do you get a free tatoo, beer gut and ponytail with it? ( Try Googling "Problems with Harley road king")

Gently folks --  Not my cup of tea but if it's yours then thats OK with me.

The world is a bad enough place what with all the texting cage drivers.  We don't need to eat our own.  Life's too short for all that!   [smiley=bmw_smiley.gif]

Just yesterday leading a group of BMWMOGA riders up the gorge into Highland NC on NC 28 I got this picture.



That's a wheelchair besides the seat.  I don't know him and I don't ride his brand but that is a Brother up there so y'all play nice.   8-)
