The Ultra has a similar ride to the Road King. Same suspension setup. the Duece is a softail. And anybody that I know that had a softail and went to a Road king, went back to the softail.
I rented a Road King last year for a weekend when i was in the Poconos. I can't say i didn't like it, but the one i had was gutless (bone stock) and I couldn't wait to get back on mine.
The Road Kings are setup so that you can enjoy them on long rides, but also throw them around on the twisty's. They're setup so that you're riding position is sitiing nearly straight up, and without the windscreen, you become a sail.
Dunno. Like I said. I know a few guys that have them and would never own anything else. And they definitely are one of the more popular bikes on the road.
And that one in particular is a REALLY nice looking bike.
AND it is ridable! Mine's up on the work stand waiting for tires shocks and a couple of other goodies. I might have it back on the road by October...when I leave again.

That's the color I wanted!! Nice looking bike!! If you liked the ride of the Ultra but not all the bells & whistles, I'd encourage you to try just the Classic. I can meet ya somewhere today or this weekend if you'd like to ride mine?
Where is this bike. Every dealer I went to had a "no negotiate" policy. Pizzed me off but they also had a line of Ppl. waiting for a salesman to sell em a bike.
Again, that thing is bootiful!!

As long as you scub once a week or so, it's not bad. It's when you let the crud sit on them for a season that discolors em'. Mine are in pretty bad shape (discolored, no rust), but I kept mine outside one season too.
I prefer spokes to the cast wheels. I just think it looks classier.
And after awhile, if you want to add some flash to it, you can order chromed spokes in different variations. Re-lacing a wheel is frustrating as hell, I've done it twice, but it is also very rewarding. Especially when you take it to the shop to have them check it for trueness and balance and they say "you did this HOW???" and they do nothing to adjust it.
