For many years, the Road King relied on the Classic version to survey the higways and the smiles of Bikers. An ode to the road for lovers of this machine sweating the depths of America. But why limit yourself to an expression of this pleasure when you can have two versions, with intrinsic subtleties?. This is how the Road King returns after 6 years of absence.

It leaves it to the other models of the Touring range (Street Glide, Ultra Limited, Road Glide, Electra Glide, etc …) to use and abuse appendages to perfect the trip. More humble, wanting to be traditional at the limit of simplicity, the machine lends itself perfectly to cruising, mane protected or hair in the wind; the choice can be made in an instant with the easily removable windshield.
The main characteristic feature compared to the Classic stands out at the level of the hips. Here, the suitcases are of the rigid type; the Classic is fitted with leather saddlebags. Their carrying capacity is 32 liters each; with the easy opening of the One-touch system.

Here, no Boom Box multimedia sound system, no GPS, no MP3, no Bluetooth, nothing that does not sweeten the trip. Everything is shared with the motorcycle, as before.
Tradition does not necessarily rhyme with stagnation. While the Road King has not fundamentally changed since its debut in 1995, the MoCo has steadily given it the upgrades that time and technology have sprinkled over production Harley. Today, this cruiser embeds the Twin Cam 103 ci High Output version. That is to say all the charm and the fat of two bowls moving in 1690 cm3. The road is combined with 14 mkg of torque, metallic snores and pulsations oscillating between the power of a generous displacement and the rhythm of an asynchronous pacemaker.

And equipment to enjoy as you go up the highways. Its triple gaze accommodates Daymaker LED headlights, spitting out 986 lumens (that corresponds to a 75-watt incandescent bulb). The rear damping, playing on a short range of 76 mm, returns the efforts directly to the back but the suspension relies on pneumatic assistance. The Brembo brakes are coupled by the REFLEX system and will know how to estimate the reinforcement of the ABS. We cannot ignore the H-D Smart immobilizer, cruise control, a 49mm fork, and … that inimitable style..

Then, the cruising, it is also appreciated with small details, like the long steps, the wide handlebars, a beautiful instrumentation anchored on the tank, a selection of chrome, a quality paint, sensations that only an American badged wing can assume.

Like any good Harley, you will have to contend with a substantial weight (371 kilos – twice the mass of a KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE R), a generous wheelbase of 1625 mm, and a muscular entry ticket. Criteria quickly forgotten by brand enthusiasts.
