One of the characteristics of Harley-Davidson® motorcycles that appeals so much to riders is the ability to combine the best of Harley-Davidson tradition with the newest design innovations. In other words, Harley-Davidson® motorcycles are built with respect and understanding of the past and a dedication to tomorrow's technology and engineering.
An example of this philosophy is the Harley-Davidson® FLHRCI™ Road King® Classic. The ultimate cruiser, the Road King® emulates the style of its predecessors and sets the standard for its heirs. The cruiser is powered by the huge Twin Cam 88™ engine, which rides in elastomer isolation mounts that eliminate vibrations. Before Harley-Davidson introduced the Twin Cam 88™ to the public, it tested the engine on over two-and-a-half million miles of road. And the judgment was that the Twin Cam 88™ offered a quieter, smoother ride while providing high performance and maneuverability. This comfort is further enhanced by an anti-dive fork and air-adjustable suspension.
Yet it is not only the new engine that separates the Road King® Classic from other cruisers. The all-out style of the Road King® is truly "Classic." Gorgeous saddlebags are made by stretching durable plastic over hard-shell compartments, enhancing both accessibility and durability. The tooled design of the saddlebag is repeated on the custom seat. Enhancing the stylish black-and-chrome color scheme of the engine is a range of eight available finishes, including four two-tone finishes. A custom 3D metal emblem was also designed especially for the Road King® Classic and appears on the fender tip, tank and seat valance. The laced wheels add to the overall style.
With dual exhausts, a wheelbase of 63.5 inches and overall length of 93.7 inches, commodious saddlebags and unparalleled power and comfort, the Road King® Classic truly defines the modern touring bike, offering bikers a ride they'll never forget.
Now, in honor of the future of touring motorcycles, comes a precision-engineered replica from Franklin Mint Precision Models. The Harley-Davidson® Road King® Classic is crafted in authentic detail––a true masterpiece. Your Harley-Davidson® Road King® Classic captures the excitement of this magnificent motorcycle and is certain to be admired by all who see it.
