- 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!

“Emotional response, no regrets “ now that’s how your supposed to feel about your motorcycle. Big thumbs up for this one.
Thank you sir, when you know it, you know it
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 totally agree and I think "soul" is a perfect word!
Did the same thing, had a newer street glide. Went out and bought a 03’ road king classic. In my opinion two different feels of bike. Best decision I ever made.
Nice choice!
The "King" has a cool factor that few can approach. It can be seen and felt.
I just ran across this….I’m a little over 50 & finally bought my first bike after 10 years of talking myself out of it for practical reasons. I bought a 2009 Road King Classic…just yesterday I was trying to describe to the wife why I love it and how it relaxes me and the free feeling that comes from riding this bike. The look I got made me feel like a little kid….Ran across your video today and I realize you know EXACTLY what I was trying to portray. Great video!
Thanks so much and congrats on your KING. Hard to explain unless you have one isn't it?
Spot on truth!
I love that my 2012 Roadking stands out in a sea of Roadglides and Streetglides. They’re both great bikes but everyone has one.
Road Kings are just such great bikes!
Funny you said that. I had a 21 road glide I just traded a few days ago for a new road king. The road king has always been my favorite harley, and like you said, everyone lately is on a road glide of street glide. Really like the new road king!
@@Roadglide117 congrats!
@@BoDean52 thanks man! I got it in midnight crimson, same as your road glide I think? Beautiful color!
I agree bro. I have the 2012 as well. And in a world of the batwings my King stands alone. Everywhere we go my bike always get the looks and comments.
07 Flhrci owner.
Makes me smile just thinking about it.
My brother, I cried twice in 20 years.... once when I dog passed away and second when I had to sell my 2003 Road King 100 Anniversary Ed.... broke my heart man. But I'm in the market for another bike and YES it will be another Road King! Awesome video!!!
Just hearing you had to sell that bike is almost making me cry. I honestly don’t believe I could sell my road king ever
@FreakTheGamer: Yep the same with my Lab.and first R.K. Haven't got another Lab yet. Buuut I do have another R.K. Great ridin' Harley's.
Go Brandon!!🇺🇸😎
That bike is beautiful!…. Leave it stock, it is and always be a classic.
I have a 2003 King had a 2011 Street Glide ixed up . Sold the Street Glide Kept the King. Nice Comfortable Seat. The Bike Rides and Performes Awesome
Right on
i love the simplicity of my older road king classic. i hate wind screens and stereos on motorcycles. if you are riding in a straight line at high speed down a freeway you are doing motorcycles wrong imo. my perfect ride is heading for the twisties far away from cars with the wind in my face, slipping the bike into corners and blasting out with that low end grunt while listening to the sweet motor rumble. a chromed out road king is the most beautiful motorcycle harley ever made too
I totally agree and the main reason I love this bike. Rarely have windscreen on it just feels right and motorcycle pure!
My 2009 looks exactly like yours, good sir. Mine is a 96 Cubic Inch with cruise control, ABS, and Factory speakers. I'll ride it anywhere in the country. I've owned it for many years, and I'm ~ 66 and still enjoy it.
Nice!
I have a 08 road king classic in Washington and a 09 road king classic in Arizona. I bought them both at 66 years old. They changed my life 😊
I totally get that and what great bikes!
Never enough time in the wind. Living the dream. Rock on
Amen to that Ray!
You get it! The Road King always puts a smile on my face!
When you ride it, you just know
snagged an '05 RK with low,low miles 3 mo. ago. should have got one way sooner. big and plenty comfortable. happy trails.
That's sweet, congrats! Love the king and hope for many good riding miles for you!
I sold a 2008 CVO Electra Glide & kept the 99 Road King...she ain't got all the bells & whistles of the CVO, but she's an awesome classic that gets you back to the basics of motorcycles without all the distracting extras...
Right on!
The Road King without the wind screen is the most classic and iconic Harley look out there. IMO. I absolutely love mine. 2012 RK 103ci in Big Blue Pearl paint. I will never get rid of it.
100% agree!
My first bagger was a 2006 Police Road King. I probably enjoyed that bike more than any other motorcycle I've owned.
You get the feel when you ride it don’t ya
Best bike purchase I’ve made…
06 FLHRCI Road King Classic Brandywine Sunglo with matching Hoppe Quadzilla Batwing.
Good choice!
I'm 72 and have put on over 70,000 miles on my used 2003 with a total of 112,000 miles. I just installed the 4th cam chain tensioer set! But hey, ya only live once. The only failyre was an o ring in the fuel pressure gizmo which I replace myself.
You, sir, are a road warrior
Enjoyed a few of your videos today… thanks for putting them out here 👍🏽
Thanks for watching!
I have a 2000 RKC I bought brand new. Bike runs like a champ. Love the bike. I did the S&S cam chest kit upgrade. Best bike I have ever owned. I also have a 2023 Indian Pursuit Dark Horse Premium that I absolutely love. And a 2003 Victory V92C. I love all my bikes.
You have a grade Motorcycle stable. What’s your suggestion for replacing my cam tensioners?
@BoDean52 S&S makes a complete kit for the twin cam. It has everything you need to do the upgrade to hydraulic cam chain tensioner. New cams. Bearings. 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.
I was at Athens, Ohio Harley Davidson yesterday and they had a 2000 Road King Classic sitting out front. I thought of you and Duke. It's not in the works for me to have a second bike, but that looked like a fun bike to ride. Stay safe and thanks for another great video.
Thanks Jim and sounds silly but I would buy an old used Road King again.
Imagine how I feel when I ride my precious 08 olive pearl roadking, that was given to me by my sister 3 years before she past away
That’s something that is a entire new type of special! Ride it safe and hope it gives you great memories
Thanks for the video my man. Those pipes sound good thru the mic on your helmet .
Appreciate it!
I also have 2 bikes, my wife do trips we take our ultra classic. But when I ride it is on my road king standard. I love the feel of it. Just like you state. The ultra will get traded, but the road king will stay forever.
Same here Bob.....the Road King is a lifer for me as well!
I have a 2001 Road King, purchased in 2013 with only 17,000 kms (original). Has 21,000 kms now and will never sell it. I agree about the feeling.
Great bike Jeff!
Thanks for doing this video and your comments on the Road King. I’m 62 now and I have and old CHP road king. It’s the only bike I’ve ever owned. Sometimes I think I want something a little more modern like your newer bike. But then I say to myself nah, this is just fine for me.👍🏽
If I could just have one of my bikes, it would definitely be the road king
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.
that would be cool to live that close and for me our big ole headlights stick out to me!
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.
Totally agree and I am lucky to have both. If one had to go, it would not be the King
I feel the same way about my 2013 Fat Bob. I can pick it out from the crowd wherever I am and it still gives me that rush when I see it.
Exactly...when you know it you know it, right
Love where you head is at my friend...my Springer classic is for roaming the sunshine...my glide is a ground pounder. Love 'em both but for different reasons.
"Ground Pounder"....love it!
Hi from Michigan - Cool ride • Cheers from the Detroit & Mackinac Railway 🚂
Well hello Gary...hope you and the family are well including the grandchildren. What is your favorite train station or train to visit?
@@BoDean52 Durand Station, Durand, Michigan 🚂 Take train to Chicago 😎Built in 1906.
I have a 2002 Road King Classic Screaming Eagle, it's my first Harley I am keeping it forever! It's been kept up so well and it's gorgeous. I love it. I will definitely buy another Harley down the road as well.
That awesome and I am with you, keep our Road Kings forever
I have an 05 classic and a leather tour pack and it has 84000 miles on it and i love every mile
That is great have you had it since it was new?
@@BoDean52 it had 20000 when I bought it
I got a 99 fat boy with the evolution motor 80 in³ just love the thing wouldn't trade it for the world.
Totally get that, we may have to be buried on our bikes
Thank you. It’s what I needed to push me to buying a Road King. Can’t wait!
Best of luck! You will live a King!
After having an Ultra, I went back to a 2011 Road King Classic--103 engine, ABS brakes, standard--and YES, it feels fabulous, like a real Harley. Mustang wide solo seat and aftermarket bars take care of the comfort issue. Happy New Year!
That is awesome. Vic and I just love the rawness of Road Kings, all about the ride
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 love the new Road Kings too...heck if you want radio, bluetooth it. If I was getting another bike and the wife no longer toad with me, it would be a Road King. What color did you get and congrats!
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.
That 2013 must be awesome! I’m gonna try to sneak out to ride tomorrow with 45° here in Michigan and this is the one time I’m probably gonna put the windshield back on
Sometimes bells and whistles don't add to the ride.... they complicate it. 2001 and 2013FLHRC....all day on any highway.
Totally agree and the King just rolls!
I really lie how clean Mrs. BoDean keeps your bikes looking. Great reason to have two so you can switch off while she cleans😀
.
It keeps her in line ....... oops
That's why I'm called no regrets
Nothing like a road king last twenty yrs I’m using one no complaints
Amen to that, love the King!
@@BoDean52 🌺🙏
I will never get rid of my 95th anniversary road classic!
I totally get that my road king classic will never go away
I love my 06 Road King Classic! No regrets.
We have never sell motorcycles!
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
This one will be a keeper for me and just wish I could get more lol...
My 09 Road King Classic has been giving me that feeling since 2009! There's no better feeling with your cloths on!
Not sure about you but I will never sell this Road King. So riding without clothes is bad idea? 😂 HNY
The only regret I would have, is not buying it sooner 😁
Yup that was mine too
Just bought a 21 Road King classic w the M8. Absolutely love it! Had 28k on it but I got a deal so…No regrets. That 107 reduces the shaking by 75%
That’s awesome and 28k is nothing!
Buying an old classic to compliment the newer ride is beginning to make a lot of sense to me!
Thank you, wise one! 😉✌️😂
Think our wives think that way too? Appreciate you mate
Definitely if your gonna go for a second ride , should be something you enjoy. Beautiful riding on that road there. Enjoyed
Appreciate that my friend and ALWAYS great seeing you. Hope the family and you are well.
🛑🛑 I had a CVO Roadking, and I now own a CVO Ultra Limited, there are many differences between the 2 bikes.
The Ultra (The Geezer Glide) does everything really well..Comfort, Ride, Power, and Room …although the Roadking lacks in those areas; the one the thing the Roadking can do better than the Ultra is COOL!!!!
😀👍💯
You are exactly right Gene!
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 😂👍.
Thank You For The Reply 💯👍
Gene, I have a TriGlide, and that is the ultimate “Geezer Glide”!!! 🤣🤓
@@Tryke_Ryder
😂😂👍
Ultra Geezer Glide.
You win 🏆 💯.
I have a 21 Road Glide Special in Venom paint. It has the traction control, cruise, GPS. electronic brakes every dang thing you could ever imagine a motorcycle to have. Yes its fast very powerfull and over all its an amazing bike. I also have a 1989 Road King Classic, it he 95 th anniversery addition. It in rootbeer over cream its bike #1624/3500. Its not overly powerfull, (evo) the brakes kinda suck. It vibrates alot at idol. But nothing give me the joy I feel taking her out for a spin. Its feel nostalgic and makes me feel what it must have been like back in the day. I can ride her all day. She is fun.
I feel exactly the same way. I really like my 21 road glide limited, but this bike hits my soul.
@@BoDean52 LOL There is something to be said about not knowing what gear your in and no digital stuff in your face. Just the wind the sound and the feel. Yep it puts a smile on my face everytime
Don't you just love all the view from the front..
So do!
When I saw the title I thought it would be a short of the word Nothing in bright red letters just flashing on the screen..
I needed to explain myself why it’s perfect
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. 👌
My favorite comment EVER and I totally agree. When you find that special bike, you just know it! Ride safe
I have that feeling every day. I have 2 Road Kings. A 98 upgraded with a S&S 111 and 6 speed and a almost stock 99 classic with carb, cams and gears.
You're right, the classic is fun to ride. It gets compliments every time I take it out. Too much chrome for my taste but everyone else loves it.
That 98 must be sweet! Hard not to love a King
@@BoDean52 Thanks. I love it. Burned up a lot of highways on that thing. Only thing on the bike that hasn't been swapped out over the years is the headlight nacelle. : - ) The bike fits me so I just upgrade parts instead of bikes. I have a batwing and tour pack for traveling long distance that hang on the wall when I'm not.
Great thing about HD is it is still easy to get parts for old bikes.
That is a fine ride my friend!....how could anyone have regrets with a classic like that!!...great video...thanks for sharing...stay safe...ride safe!!😎👍🤙👍🤙🇨🇦
Appreciate you my friend from the North
Ive gotta 2009 that keeps me sane.
I get that there’s nothing like riding a king. No radio nothing but the bike and road
Well put. I have a big Harley Electra, a V-Strom and, a 2006 Road king with a cam upgrade that can shake your bones at a red light. Guess which goes out the most? Yup, the Road King. Just that feel you talked about.
And you don’t know unless you have one right Scott! Enjoy your ride
One key advantage of the road king over a street glide or road glide, you don't have people who don't know bikes complimenting you on your gold-wing, lol.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I've got that exact roadking classic, I love it.
We have great bikes!
When you said you had a regret about Duke, I almost had to resend my friendship. Was thinking, 'HAS HE LOST HIS MIND?!?' Then I saw you had not and all is right with the world again. 🙃😉😎 They are called Kings for a reason. Are they not?
That you even thought that....tsk tsk. Duke stays until they throw me in the hole
@@BoDean52 thus, my confusion my friend. 😎
What exhaust are you running?.....sounds amazing
Rinehart and they came on the bike, I love them
The road king is king! Sounds good and rides like a king's ride. I ride an 09 RK classic and to me it's king. It's truly a thrilling ride. 👍🏽🤠 6/2/23
Amen to that and great to have a 👑
I agree my RKC there was no other bike I owned like her, although one day like to have more newer bike for long trips and some of the bells and whistles lol
Get that and why I feel blessed to have both worlds. Ride safe
@@BoDean52 you too
Why did you change back to leather bags
Liked the bags but prefer the old style look.
Just bought a 2001 Road King Classic.
Congrats!
id love to have a 2000 road king because i can ride and dont need new tec
Many times less technology is so much better
Nice Bob, got to love a classic 😍
Thanks Bert, appreciate you
What's better than a Road King?......2 Road Kings!
I considered that
Good video buddy
Thanks my man!
I love mine too. 👍🏽👍🏽
they are great bikes, what year is yours?
Love my 17 Ultra Limited....but I Adore my 03 Dyna Wide Glide!!!!
You really have the same deal as me, we are fortunate
I have a 2002 Road King Classic.. and I too love it ... Question for you .. What kind of camera do you use for your riding videos?.. They look great!
Thanks I appreciate that. You have a super cool bike. I use a GoPro 7 attached to my chin for video and I use a Sena10 C for the audio. And then mix them together when I edit.
Классный мотоцикл! Я себе взял Harley Davidson Road King Custom 2006... Но он ещё плывет ко мне из США 🙂
Thanks I think! 👍
I do miss my 2015 Road King!
Totally get that, I love this king
Haa! That's exactly, word for word, what I thought you were going to say Mr Bo!!😎🍻
Boom.....what else could I say :)
My SG is a 2010, would I like a new bike with all the cool stuff, yes, but it’s paid for, and gets me where I need to go…
Paid for is a great bike, I had a 2016 SGS and loved it
Beautiful riding in Hell! I am in the Detroit area and love that ride!!
Its a favorite of mine for sure
love my 18 rk
Great bikes
Nice vid and nice bike Bo, I was looking at buying an 03 aniversary model RK last week but sold before I could get there. This one had high bars on it and I like the bars you've got on yours, are they factory?
That 03 would have been great, took me awhile to find this one. They are stock bars, ride safe!
Bike sounds good in this one do you have a full exhaust or slip ons ?
Funny you ask as I have always assumed they were slip ons since I bought it used. Now I’m gonna have to go down and look 😂
@@BoDean52 Sounds good let me know what you found out I wondered if it would make it louder since our years didn't have a cat.
The Road King Classic is 200 lbs lighter than the 2021 Road Glide. So, there's that.
Great point and I can really tell when I rode the king
Wao! 1:21 that sound with🎧😨
I love the roar of the king!
I got a 03 classic and I'll keep my bike until God brings me home its all stock white walls and all gonna keep it that way I love my road king
Same here Doug, bury me on it
A great looking bike for sure.
Thanks brother
I wanted a RK ,ended up buying an 01 FLHTC . It's ok but that's probably why it's buried in the garage for 3 years.
Still both great bikes
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.
Great advice on the road king and you’re gonna love the ultra
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
I hear you and hoping my Milwaukee eight in my Road Glide. Limited continues to do well.
I feel the same about my 05 Road king my wife tells me all the time she wishes I would look at her like I do at my bike lol
Tell her to sit on the bike and you will 😂
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
Agree and I was going to do a video on that....it would sure get people fired up
@@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.
Ride what you love ! For the love of riding !! 👍❤✌
AMEN to that!
Late nineties bikes are the best.
yeah and I sure love this 2000
There is just something about the Twin Cam Bikes the way they ride and the feel....Even thought the M8's are more modern and superior to the Twin Cams....But i perfer the Twin Cams...
So true, it’s a feel
Keep the tech for me the road king trumps them all.
Amen to that!
Yep. Exactly.
