[QUOTE="kpm, post: 789836, member: 20743"] Maddmax, I love HDs. I have had three of them. I had a Superglide a few years ago. I kinda miss it. They are great bikes for cruising as you know. They handle better than people think. Most guys do the stage 1 (pipes, remap, air cleaner) to get 5% or so more HP. Maybe 75-80 HP. The RK is a beautiful moto and weighs 800lbs. If you are not a big guy this can make quite a difference. The FJR weighs 635 lbs and has 145 HP. Brakes on the FJR are dead stoppers. I had had a lot of motos over the years and the FJR is hands down the best I have owned. It aint perfect. Some people dont like the seat and want a new windshield (cosmetic stuff). One of the things I love about the FJR is if you are cruising down the interstate at 75 mph and a cager does the tailgate action you just look in your rear view mirror with disdain, twist the throttle a bit and you have a rocket ship in warp drive. You can get an FJR new for 13K. I think the new RK is near 20K. [/QUOTE]
