Road King® Special Touring Motorcycle
A whole new look to a bike with timeless value - that's what Harley-Davidson® strove for with their release of the 2017 Road King® Special, and they exceeded even their own expectations. This new motorcycle adapts the classic Road King® look with a stripped-down, blacked-out style, and enhances it for modern performance and unbeatable comfort. Nothing on this new bike went to waste, as it all works together to provide you with the best touring motorcycle you've ever seen. Test drive one of these beasts today at Sun Harley-Davidson® in Denver, CO.
Power & Performance
The Road King® Special's design was started the same way every other Harley-Davidson® touring motorcycle was: with an emphasis on incomparable power. Outfitted with the all-new Milwaukee-Eight™ V-Twin engine, this motorcycle offers the best power in its class.With an extra muscular look and more torque than ever before, the Milwaukee-Eight™ features four valves to each cylinder head, which gives that kind of power capable of launching you down the road. And to control the power, Harley® designed an all-new premium suspension and all new-front forks. This bike handles like a dream, and it's smoother than you'd think possible with so much power. For added confidence, the Road King® also features an upgraded braking system. The Reflex™ linked Brembo® brakes with ABS allow you to cut back in a hurry. Whether you're on smooth, open pavement or a rough, bumpy and wet road, you're sure to have enough stopping power to safely navigate any road.
Style
All that power is spotlighted with the old-school style of the Road King® Special. This bike flat-out redefines grit and toughness, as it borrows from the original look but replaces many of the chrome features with aggressive, blacked-out styling. Not only does the coloring make this bike more fierce, but every component, from the Milwaukee-Eight™ Engine to the stretched saddlebags, is aesthetically pleasing to riders everywhere. The gloss-black turbine wheels and low-mounted license plate styles also ensure that heads will turn. These bold features make the Road King® Special something people have never seen before - something to be remembered for a very long time.
Comfort & Features
We've been talking about the style and power a lot, but did we mention that it's really comfortable, too? Just like the other motorcycles from Harley-Davidson®'s touring lineup, the Road King® Special was designed to tour the countryside without breaking a sweat or feeling the least bit of fatigue. Sit all day in the one piece, two-up seat, which is contoured to provide maximum back support, and has a narrow neck to take some pressure off your thighs. That premium suspension we mentioned before also plays a factor in your comfort; the smooth, controlled ride from the front forks and rear emulsion is an easy way to enjoy long days on the road without the rough, bumpy feedback. Also, the 1.25 mini-ape handlebars pull you into an upright, comfortable position that demands attention and relieves strain on your body, while the footboards with heel/toe shift levers give you plenty of extra foot room and adjustable positioning. Feel comfortable and confident on the highway, country roads, or in the city. The Road King® Special is designed to treat you like a king on any road.
It's clear that the new Road King® Special from Harley-Davidson® is a special kind of motorcycle.
