Bought my first Harley.

New to me 2006 FI Road King, 22k miles. 3 decades of riding, never ridden a Harley. Power is agrarian but there is plenty of it, and it smooths out into a nice hum at higher revs. Pleasantly surprised by the fueling. Really surprised by the handling. It carries the weight well. Not sure I would call it nimble, but its athletic, and the steering inspires confidence. Picking my way through traffic felt effortless.

Owner was not sure if the chain tensioner update had been done, so checking that will be first order of business. Doesn't seem to need anything, maintained well, runs great. Paint is excellent. It's a dark metallic gray, not black. Looks really tight in sunlight.
