Harley Davidson Road King (2021)

Harley Davidson Road King (2021)

The iconic Road King, a true modern classic that embodies the spirit of the open road. Its distinctive styling, born in the 1960s, is now powered by the mighty Milwaukee-Eight 107 engine, unleashing an exhilarating riding experience that’s as raw as it is refined.

With its Hiawatha headlamp and nacelle leading the charge, this touring machine is designed to take you on a journey of discovery. The Showa dual-bending valve front suspension and rear emulsion shocks work in harmony to provide a plush ride, while cast Impeller wheels and one-touch bags add to the touring experience.

But what truly sets the Road King apart is its engine character – a perfect blend of power, torque, and refinement. The Milwaukee-Eight 107 engine roars to life with a distinctive sound that’s unmistakably Harley-Davidson, and its four valves per cylinder ensure crisp throttle response and a truer, cleaner note.

Whether you’re carving through canyons or cruising down the highway, the Road King is designed to put you in control. With every mile, it’s clear that this motorcycle is more than just an engine – it’s a way of life.
