Greetings from sunny North Texas. You can look locally on Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, or hit the national sales sites like Cycle Trader if you want to have it shipped to your door. The two models are a LOT different in that they are purpose built for their name sakes. Better define what you want to use it for before sinking any dough into it. Also, you'll want to get a later edition, post 2010 since all the factory bugs were worked out by then. Good luck with your search.

Greetings from the UK mate. As atomsplitter said, the Touring and Roadster two different bikes, but with one common denominator the engine. But if I may put my penny’s worth in, I’d opt for the Roadster. With the right choice of accessories fitted, the Classic Roadster is as good as a Touring for distance work. Once you’ve been on your tour, off with the panniers and touring screen and you’ve a naked muscle bike to play with.
 
If you want a Touring here's one in DFW:


This one is Midlothian TX:
 
As i own both of the Gen1 offerings, may i make a suggestion...
The Touring has one headlight and hard bags....and a longer frame
The Standard, Classic, Tourer, and Roadster has 2 headlights.....and a shorter frame....
If you are 6' 0" or shorter, the 2 light model in stock trim will fit you better....
If over 6' 2" or taller , The Touring will give you more room to move around.....
The Touring has 90hp in stock tune, the 2 headlights have approx. 140
The Touring is tuned more for Torque and smoothness....
The 2 headlight models are tuned for higher HP and a more snappy response...
Just my 2 cents......Norm :thumbsup:
