Speaking as someone who just bought a Road King a month ago, I have to say that it's a totally different animal than my Speedmaster, and I own it because, like Triumph, HD has a hundred years of practice making them do what they're supposed to do,not because of the nameplate. My wife and I really wanted a R3, but it was in my opinion, like riding an appliance. No passion, no FUN factor for us. No offence meant to anyone, just my emotional feedback. Pricewise, the two were real close. In a perfect world, I'd have a copy of every kind of bike. In this world, I have two that I love and consider myself fortunate. Oh, by the way, I'm not a barhopper, and not a pack rider, we just put miles on.
