My 2000 Road King Classic has been a great motorcycle over the past two years. People have asked me if I regret buying this Road King Classic since I have a 2021 Road Glide Limited. In video I talk about my Road King and the one regret I do have. Road Glide or Road King and any regrets is the conversation on some amazing roads while riding the KING!

I'm 66yo and ride a Road King. It's an '04 with the 95 inch big bore kit, SE 203 cams, SE hybrid cam plate with high volume oil pump, SE air cleaner with back plate removed, and Kerker slip ons. Mine does have cruise control, which is handy as heck. Living in Western Colorado I have the opportunity to ride the Rockies all the time. My favorite "thing" about the RK Classic is the vibe. I usually ride without the windshield, but I have a Freedom Shield for when the weather cools off. I'm sure there are better bikes out there, there's a lot of equipment this bike does not have, but this bike has soul and I love that about it. Sign me, "Vibin' on the chug."

I agree 💯! I won’t ever sell my Road King. Everyone around here ride the glides. Just my opinion but for me there is no comparison. The Road King has so much more character and I feel is more in line with what the heart of Harley is. If you look back in the history of what Harley was and compare that to what you can buy today, and you want to get as close to the heart of Harley….you have to get the Road King! It’s a amazing bike.

Oil pump for a 96-inch engine that has an extra scavenge stage. Forged support plate. Adjustable push rods. Gaskets. I mean everything. It all fits great. It's what my dealer recommended and installed. You won't go wrong. It's expensive, mind you. But when you're going 75MPH down the road, you'll be glad you spent the money.

Been enjoying your videos and now I need to take my 2022 RK for a Ride. I do want to point out that the new RKs have all the electronics, except the radio and GPS screen, including the safty features like anti-locking breaks. She has the sleek classic look that we love about the RK. I added a touring pack from the factory with matching paint. The feeling of riding her has been incredible and comfortable on those long rides.

I ride a 1999 Road King Classic. First year of the twin cams on touring bikes. I live 20 minutes from Weirs Beach in NH, so naturally I dropped by the Laconia rally a couple times last week. On Sunday I parked on the strip among the sea of Harleys, many newer ones and all sweet machines, but as I approached my Road King, it just stood out like a sore thumb with the big old chrome front end among all the fairings. They were designed to look and feel old school and they do exactly that. Not a better or worse thing in comparison to its cousins, just different. I knew exactly what you were talking about when you were riding. It's a unique experience.

Man I totally 100% agree with you. I traded in a 2010 heritage on a 2016 CVO Limited and although it completely blows it away on luxury items, I totally miss the feeling of the vintage. After a couple years I had to add a 2013 Road King Classic to my stable to get that feeling back. There is just something about the simplicity of the bike along with still having a pretty decent ride you cannot beat, especially without the windshield.

I traded a 2000 road king when I got my Electra glide and should have kept it. Older Harley has soul, not as comfortable or fast but was great. Sold a Yamaha royal star back when I bought the road king, almost identical but a v4 and I wanted a Harley. Regretted that more and bought it back a few years later when the guy never changed the title and messed it up. It still sits in my garage in some sort of work being done to it. Only other bike I regretted selling was a turbo Yamaha in the 90s that I always wanted but was flipping motorcycles back then

First thanks for a great video! Mr Bo sounds like you and I both enjoy riding mostly for the endorphins...that feeling of relaxation, peace and contentment with nothing to prove. Others ride more for adrenaline...excitement, danger and hurry and that's OK too, just not for me. Some ask what do you mean a Harley has soul? Others say there is no such thing. I would explain it's the feedback a machine gives to you through sound, vibration, visual beauty, riding position and overall attitude. My Road King seems to effortlessly rumble down the road and that easy gate lets me feel I can just relax and enjoy the ride with no hurry. In today's rush rush lifestyle it's a welcome relief. The other thing I realized about a Road King that is pretty unique. If you ride without the windshield like you and I like to do...from where you sit while riding, 95% of what you see is painted or chromed steel. Very few rides can say that. And that contributes to that feeling of a solid, honest and classic experience. 👌

Gene, I’m surprised you listed “room” as an area where the Ultra out does the Road King. I have a ‘07 Road King (stock seat) and I’ve test rode an Ultra (stock seat). I felt like my Road King had more room, the Ultra felt like I was pushed forward towards the tank and I felt cramped. I’m 6’3” with a 36” inseam so I need my legroom. Obviously you can get aftermarket seats but out of the box I feel the Road King is the roomier of the two… Totally agree with your “Cool” comment! 👍

@@PMCraig I had an 2007 CVO Cobalt Blue Roadking. That bike was “Really Cool” and brought crowds around it wherever it took me. 💯 I really hated to sell that bike, but a guy at a bike night offered to buy it from me for my “Stupid Crazy Price”. 🤪💯💰, so I sold it. I mentioned “Room”. My reference meant “storage space”, not “operator room”. The Roadking I had, and this Ultra Limited I have now, to me seem to have the same amount of Operator Space. I had the Driver Pylon Backrest in my Roadking, and have the Pylon Backrest in my CVO Ultra Limited, now. The space on both bikes seem the same to me (I’m 6’0, 210 LBS)(Both Bikes never had a Aftermarket Seat on them. They both kept their CVO seats from the day I purchased them) The Roadking is a Great Bar Hopper, and definitely has the “Cool Factor”, but as I get older, take longer rides, ride 2 up more and more, and like the sounds of my music, heated seats and grips; I think my CVO Ultra Limited (The Geezer Glide) suites me better for what I’m into now a days 😂👍.

I would not have anything other than an EVO. The twin cam as well as the milwaukee-eight have a shopping list of engine and transmission issues resulting from the use of cheap part in critical areas that cost you thousands of dollars to rectify so they can save a few pennies producing the engine. I would not have either even if I got it for free because I cannot afford to make it reliable

just traded my 2000 RKC for a 21 ultra. get you some MM injectors off ebay, get them rebuilt and set them aside. they are hard to find. the fuel pump will cross over to a walbro at NAPA. and the fuel line disco's are still avail at the dealer. dont go with aftermarket. i miss it but then i go out on the ultra and im good. its a diff beast aint it? not as refined and i can sling that 88TC all over the road.

I don’t get the adv bike trend. Most of those people you’ll find on their adv bikes parked in front of a Starbucks anyway. I went way different than my 2019 ultra and got a 2007 Fjr. The mechanicals on the Fjr are still more advanced and it’s a 2007. Sure I like the Harley but I only take it out for those longer day rides and two up rides. Stay safe

@@BoDean52 I hate to say it but it’s mostly true. I believe the adv thing is a trend that was inspired by the movie long way around and its sequel. What’s wrong with a good dirt bike or a dual sport. They cost a lot less and are easy to pick up when you drop them.
