Harley Davidson FLHRC/I Road King Classic (1999 – 2000)

Harley Davidson FLHRC/I Road King Classic (1999 - 2000)

The Road King Classic: a machine that embodies the very essence of Harley-Davidson’s rich heritage and open-road philosophy. Beneath its imposing headlamp and nacelle, this majestic bike boasts an array of nostalgic features, from laced wheels to full fenders and generous floorboards.

Its 1340cc Evolution engine roars to life with a thrilling surge of power, thanks in part to the addition of ESPFI electronic sequential port fuel injection. As you settle into its contoured pillion seat, you’ll appreciate the smooth ride courtesy of a refined chassis and air-adjustable rear suspension.

But it’s not just about comfort – this bike is built for the open road, with its powerful Twin Cam 88 powertrain delivering seamless acceleration and responsive handling. And with features like cruise control and a detachable windshield at your disposal, you’ll be free to soak up every moment of the ride, unencumbered by fatigue or distraction.
