Harley Davidson FLHR Road King Special (2017 - 2018)

The Harley-Davidson FLHR Road King Special is a bold reimagining of the classic touring bike, powered by the muscular Milwaukee-Eight 107 engine.

With its dramatic styling direction, the Road King Special exudes a contemporary perspective on the traditional Road King model. The bike’s dark front end, topped by a massive gloss-black headlamp nacelle, sets the tone for an aggressive yet comfortable riding experience. A new mini-ape handlebar puts the rider in an optimal position to navigate both city streets and open roads.

The Milwaukee-Eight 107 engine is a masterclass in balance and power, its chrome accents drawing attention to the V-Twin’s unique shape. The Road King Special’s sleek lines are completed by gloss black turbine cast-aluminum wheels, low-profile fenders, and slammed-to-the-ground saddlebags that provide a smooth ride without sacrificing suspension travel.

The result is a motorcycle that combines unbridled power with uncompromising style, ready to devour the open road with authority. The Harley-Davidson FLHR Road King Special is an unforgettable riding experience that will leave you breathless.
