Looking at 07 - 10' road king or 10'-12' switchback. Never owned Harley before. Which is better ride, better built, or just plain better? Don't ride much twisties so don't care much about handling. I'm 5'8" and 230 lbs. Would Switchback be on small side for me. Use to ride a 1300 VStar. Just want honest opinions

Is the Switchback an overall smaller bike than Road king? Would Road king be better, more comfortable for 2 up riding?

 

[Gravel Gretzky]

Road king will be better for single and two up riding. It is on a touring frame and it has a larger fuel tank as well.

Road King but 09 and up. Better frame, wide tire, six speed..........

I'll put the nail in the coffin... Another vote for the road king

Road King, ALL the way.

I have a SGS but have ridden a King and a Switchback and the king is much better ride in my opinion.

Defiantly the King. I have a Dyna and a King, you will be much more comfortable on the King.

 

[scspartan]

Road King, but what else was I suppose to say.

I also have a 00 Dyna, and picked up an 09 Roadking in August. It is truly sweet. I love both of them, but they are different animals altogether. Get the King; you will not be sorry.

If you get a Road King, then you can take incredibly-handsome selfies like this.

Just owning a King makes you immediately more handsome than you were before.

True story.

Road king it is. Any particular year to stay away from? How big an issue really is the can chain tensioner on the 06 and older? Is it just somethin that's been blown out of proportion?

 

[ALUCARD]

It's not called the King for nothing +1 for the King
