I was not impressed, at all. Road King Classic? Meh. Thought it had a broken motor mount, then I remembered what I was on.  The bikes rev limiter kicks in b/4 you got throttel full open in 1st gear. I am 6'1" and the handle bars are way to short. Pretty colors though.       V-Rod? Powerfull but its a crotch rocket and uncomfortable.  A GSXR is 1/2 the price and twice as fast. I could have rode a new 103 motor, but did not want to wait an hour when I could be riding my Valk.
Hey the pulled pork sandwich was great!
Woops, I'm sorry.

Same dealership Mark, new owners. Last week was their "HOG" event, one of my co-workers won the bike.They want to charge him for the color and dealer prep plus sales tax ! 6300$ for a bike you won LOL. Tough times in HD land!
My eye is much better thanks, I need to put together a winery ride soon!
Woops, I'm sorry.
