I'm not sure on how to embed videos on this forum, but wanted to share the URL for this one. It shows the Royal Star and a Harley and tells good points and bad points on both. I'll take the Royal over the HD!!

YouTube - Yamaha Royal Star vs. Harley-Davidson Road King

ETA: I guess I can embed it after all! lol Yay for me!

That was a quick vote but just the bag area alone makes sense to me. I am not dissing Harley either, they have some amazing bikes, but if it came down to those two alone, I know which I would pick over as well.

Very true, Ceimo, we have to give credit where credit is due when it comes to Harley. That said, I'm on board with both of you when it comes down to which one I would pick.

Harley does indeed have GREAT bikes, but with the Royal Star v. This Harley Bike, the Royal Star dominates. I absolutely love the spedometer.

Both are great bikes for long tours, and as the video said, it's a matter of personal choice which of the two the rider would choose. Although I like Harleys, the Royal Star gets my vote on this video.

They are both very nice and fun bikes....
Road king for personality...and style.Yamaha for comfort dependability and smooth riding..
But lot of people prefer harley because of its history and its american made and japanese bikes
