Screamin' Eagle Road King.

 The Road King is a favorite among Harley aficionados and has become an instant classic in its short life. The RK would probably be my choice for "winner" if this were a shootout between the four CVOs. The wide-set bars contribute to this bike's easy and light steering. It has a good feeling of balance in the weight bias, and ground clearance is exceptional-for-a-cruiser making it my top choice for mild twisty sections of tarmac. Big sweepers make the day even sweeter as the RK drifts effortless through such turns. Get the bike much over 80mph and you'll start to get a slightly "loose" feel in its handling, but never to the point of feeling unstable. Unlike the big Ultra the King requires no need of extra effort to flick it around while lane splitting through 30 plus miles of rush hour traffic.

 And just because it's not covered in dials, switches and buttons doesn't mean that it's not as comfortable to ride as full dresser. It does have a different ergo set up that brings the rider a little closer to the bars and knees closer to elbows, but the CVO Road King is plenty accommodating with the standard windscreen and forgiving seat. This bike, like all CVOs, is adorned with chrome goodies and has one my favorite features: cruise control.

The CVO Road King is the following:

ABS with Brembo brakes
Throttle-by-wire
Six-gallon fuel tank
Isolated Drive System
Adjustable handlebar
Custom handlebar riser cover with indicator lights
Custom mirrors
New design for leather seat, backrests and saddlebags
Color-matched frame and swingarm
The 2008 Screamin' Eagle Road King retails for $29,290 ($29,390 CA) and will only number 3,150 units (including 1,800 serialized 105th Anniversary models) worldwide. Add $495 for the anniversary edition.
