Harley Davidson Flhri Road King

ROAD KING IS KING. USE TO RIDE A SPORTS BIKE. HAD LOTS OF FUN ON MY 750 HONDA. THAT WAS GREAT UNTIL I PUT A ROAD KING BETWEEN MY LEGS. THE FEELING IS LIFE CHANGING. THE FEEL, THE SOUND, THE LOOK, THE WAY PEOPLE LOOK AT YOUR BIKE FIRST THEN YOU THEN SMILE AS THEY GIVE YOU THAT ROAD KING SMILE.

THE ROAD KING IS A MAN'S BIKE FOR ALL SEASONS. OWNING A HARLEY DAVIDSON ROAD KING IS LIKE BEING "BIG MAN" ON CAMPUS, THE ICE CREAM ON THE CAKE, THE HOT FILLING IN AN APPLE PIE, BEING A PRIMETIME PLAYER.

Absolutely guarantees comments wherever you go, probably the best looking bike made. Quite easy to get 50 m.p.g. with a gentle touch, great noise on Screaming Eagles which even little old ladies seem to appreciate. 500 miles in a day quite possible on big comfy seat and plenty of room for bloated pillion / rider combo.

This was my first bike purchased the day after passing my bike test. They said I was mad, but 10,000 miles later I've loved every second. New one on order.

Onto my third with a new one this year. Just getting better all the time. Brakes are a real step up and the clutch is a lot easier with the gearbox a lot smoother this year.

Excellent bike, can tour comfortably, can commute easily. Good all rounder.

Owned my bike for 3 yrs and would not sell for the world, sorry might sell it when she's done 40K but only to replace it with another new one, would have to be a Road King again.

cracking bike the best harley out. own one before your time is up

Dream to ride. I have been all over europe on a Harley Davidson Road King, look after it and it will look after you through rain or shine been ridding now for 7 or 8 years, I brought my Harley in canterbury before I passed my test, go for it, you are investing.

Harleys are simply known for their class and sound. I wish more of the components were truly American made. The comraderie gained when riding "American Iron" is unbelievable and one of Harleys greatest assets. All motorcycles are good in my opinion, there are just some I like better than others.

I passed my motorcycle test in June 2006 and bought a sensible runaround, Yamaha Fazer 600. My first introduction to the Cruiser brigade was an outing with some of my old mates. We visited PM Motorcycles out at Harleston Norfolk. My mate wanted a Fatboy to style in the vein of American Chopper. I was drawn to the owners bike, a long and unpretentious beast of a machine parked at the end of the lot. I caught the moment and the love affair began. Next minute I was at Black Bear Newmarket test driving the New 2007 RK. I was hooked, the salesman knew the brief, he took the fast release screen off and the rest was history I came back with a speed grin wider than a tigers smile. I've covered 2000 miles so far this summer and we are off on tour around Ireland in September. By the way, my mate that was looking for a Fatboy? He bought a Road King too once he had followed mine for a few hundred miles. Try one, I Dare you not to buy one!

I also own a fairing on wheels, a 1997 Goldwing with 106,000 miles (U.S.A. measure) on it. The Road King is an excellent motorcycle first, long distance tourer second only to the 'Wing. I define long distance as any ride that is multiple, consecutive days of 500 miles or more each day. Weekend jaunts to California from Las Vegas. we now take the Road King. Cross country to Tennessee I think I will take the Goldwing!

Never having ridden a Harley Davidson before and being kindly invited to my local dealers demo I can now say I am a changed man! I have never giggled so much whilst riding. My previous bike was a ZRX1100 and the 2005 Road King Custom has converted me for good. What a machine, what road presence and what noise!

You could quite easily spend all day in the saddle and not notice. The bike is comfy and can happily plod along in 5th gear all day. The brakes are much better than I was expecting although after riding a Springer Softail that reputation was well deserved. It is easy to hustle through traffic should the mood take you but most important of all is you can leave it in top gear and ride the fat wave of torque. Quite simply an astounding machine and I challenge all to have a go and return saying you did not enjoy it.

Okay so brand new Harleys are expensive but they keep hold of their value like nothing else in the 2 wheeled world and they are always a conversation starter at the road side. Coupled with a vibrant social scene, superb dealer backup and endless parts/accessories catalogue how could you not say no to a Road King Custom?
