Funny you should mention "hearing wind and pipes" I am seriously considering looking at the Road King Special. I know, I know, going against my prior comment on buying another Harley. Here is why though:
114 CI on a 650 lb bike= rocket ship!
No added electronics to piss me off when they fail/break
No relying on GPS, old school, study the map and ride, if you get "lost", who cares, you are on a rocket ship!
3.5 years left on CVO,owe less than $22K on it, SHOULD not be upside down according to my limited research. Can probably but RK special for less years and less $ per month
Back to basics, no music, no CB, no GPS to interrupt the wind in the ears.
Anyone done this? Any comments? This is a great active form, I am sure there will be many of both
