Mark, it's not the the Road King isn't a cross country bike. They certainly are and I've done it. Many many miles on Road Kings. Given the option of each in the garage though, with forethought which would you climb on for a trip longer than a weekend run?
Mark, I am kinda thinking along the lines of Don, too. We have two SEEGs and a very nice RK in the garage. When it is really hot - you know the type - 90+ with humidity, I lean to liking to ride the Road King if it is just a that-a-way type of ride, home for dinner and bed type of ride. But other than that, I am choosing my SEEG. Course, for me, the SEEG fits me better, but the RK is not uncomfortable or anything by the stretch of anyone's imagination. I just find the ride more comfortable on the SEEG and I love the cozy feeling that fairings give you. Both bikes are great, both look great, both ride great, but for any kind of saddle time, for some reason, the glide is just that tad bit more comfortable, has the tunes. In your case, both great bikes. It would be hard not to ride them both equally for around town rides.
