Hi,
I am the happy owner of the Street 500 . I would have prefered the 750 but they are hard to come by. I have a 2011 Road King Classic which I love. I wanted something easy and simple to commute on. The street is perfect.

How did you find the transition from the road king?

Hi Harleyvest, Both bikes are wonderful in there own way. The Road King weighing in a bit over 800 pounds is great for all day rides and road trips. She goes down the freeway doing 80 without me noticing. The Street 500 weighing in a bit over 400 pounds is perfect for short rides around town and commuting. I can tell when I am going 70. I am still breaking her in so I don't push it yet. The first few rides on the Street felt like I was riding a moped.
I feel blessed that I can own both.

Must be nice to own more than one. I guess it make sense to have one bike for each purpose. In that case I should own about 4! one for commuting, one for long trips, one for the dirt and one for the nostalgic purposes

Beautiful roadking btw
