Need Help deciding
I am trying to buy a second bike that will be different. I have a 03 RKC and wanted to get something different in the Harley family. I was thinking maybe a night train but open to any ideas and would the ride be different enough?

Rent a few models and get a feel for the difference. I found a dealer that let me rent four different models for an eight hour day [two hours each].
I finally bought a Heritage Classic because at the time I wanted a fairly short trip cruiser that was also good for around town.

It's hard to beat a RKC - you've got the best platform HD makes in my opinion. My first HD was the Duece, and then I bought the RKC and Ultra. I ride them all, but the touring models are my favorite hands down.
If you got the dough, I'd wait and see what CVO is coming out with for 2006.

How about the 883R for a little nostalgia. You already have a cruiser, why not a little racer?

Evo Springer or Sportster. I went with a '99 883 Custom and love it {less the Tslide}, 38K miles from new.

Get a Buell, I have an FLHT and a Buell cyclone (older version). The Fl get for being with the group. But the buell's great fun when you out by yourself

Sounds like a Night Train is on your mind. It's certainly different from what you have.

My b-inlaw has a RKC and an Anniversary Heritage Springer with drag pipes. They call the springer 'The Slut'. It is little ruff around the edges and great to take to a bar.
