Road King
The Road King is Harley's classic cruiser — a Milwaukee-Eight V-twin with a detachable windshield and lockable hard saddlebags that add long-distance capability in a cleaner silhouette than the full-dress Street Glide or Electra Glide. At 807 lb it is lighter than Harley's full dressers while still delivering genuine two-up touring ability, making it the natural choice for riders who want touring function without the fixed fairing.
