I’m grabbing up a 2008 RK classic on Saturday. My road glide blew a head gasket and my motor guy backed up 2 weeks and all the club shit ramping up now (it’s end of March 2024 now) I love my 124 road glide but man I’m excited to be back on a road king for a bit. I ride way too much to not have a backup Got a mad deal on it too
Thanks for the great vlogs, always helpful and factual. Made the same move, from 48 to RKC and added a 883c to the stable. Slow speed on the RKC is mastered by friction zone and back brake..
Its all about what you're comfortable on. Typically a smaller model like a Sportster or Dyna are usually recommended for beginners but that doesn't fit everyone. Best thing to do is stop by and throw a leg over a handful of different bikes to see what style fits you best.
If you can handle the weight . Which means pick it up off the stand and stand the bike in the upright position with you’re feet planted on the ground , you should be good to go . You have to physically fit any motorcycle to be able to ride it successfully. All I’m getting at here is many people say you need to start off with a 300cc bike just isn’t true . I had a 650 and sold it . Went eighteen years without riding . And then bought a 1500 cc bike that weighed 750 pounds. So it’s whatever you get used to riding . Just take it slow and easy and work you’re way into it . That’s with any motorcycle . If you’re under a hundred pounds and just five foot tall that presents a whole nother set of issues as to what would be a good size bike for a beginner. Good Luck 🍀 and safe riding . Keep the rubber side down and the shinny side up . And never ride faster than you’re guardian angel can fly .
@@phillipternullo4934 Nice advice! Thanks for taking your time to reply. Currently I'm also riding a 650 but I plan to move to one of this motorcycles in a near future, I still consider myself a beginner, that's why I'm asking

THEBEST
What bars are they
My 05 king classic has 85000 miles on it still going strong
U ride the clutch way to much
You’re right. Not gonna have a clutch for long doing that.
You complain way too much
Couldn't agree more, get off the clutch
Dude I’m glad I’m not the only one to notice lol
What do you think you are doing when practicing slow speed maneuvering? The clutch will be just fine.
❤ my 08 king is the best long haul across country, ride on the miles get yourself a mustang touring seat
I was just wondering if you updated the suspension front and rear on your road king?
THEBEST
What year is bike with 160 thou on it?.... that's freakin cool
We think so! The 160k bike is a 2006.
Is it okay for a beginner?
