Kawasaki, Honda, Yamaha (Star) and Suzuki all offer cruisers in a similar style to what HD sells, for less money. Some have belt like HD while others have shaft. The ones 750-1000cc will be a good deal lighter than your old RK. I wouldn't expect to be offered a test ride from any of the metric manufacturer dealers though.
As mentioned a nice used HD a few years old can be often found for 1/2 price of a new one but there's the weight.
