Get in the saddle of a Road King and instantly you declare there is no horizon too distant. The bold profile hits you first. FL forks. Full fenders. Big chrome headlight and nacelle. Everything here is fit for a royal journey. Like an air-adjustable suspension and refined chassis. Detachable windshield. Weather-resistant, lockable saddlebags. Two-up seat. Beneath all the form lies the function. An isolation-mounted, black powder-coated and chrome-covered Twin Cam 88® engine in carb or EFI. More riders are choosing the EFI option for the smoothest, most reliable starting and operating. The Road King commands you to ride. You nod, thumb the starter and gladly obey.

Good thing we’re all different, I’d could be pursuaded but just can’t abide those footboard things.

Yeah, I was the same at first , took me a while to get used to it. Kinda unfamiliar and a bit like not quite enough control, but Now I like them.

after buying the sportglide the wife always had her eye on the big ultra limited but i wasnt interested .. then she kept saying trade in the sportglide blah blah , that wasnt happening so i told her ill buy a second hand one private if i could find one.

I’ve wanted a Road King since the day I started riding.  I’m now on my second. Yeah, I cop some stick about riding such a big bike but at the end of a day’s riding I am fresh and could easily go another couple of hundred klms while my buddies are flat out walking. 

And they handle well too.

And as spook keeps threatening to post

I see what you did there, bloody spook the bastard....

Moi? .........prove it, Steelo.

What about a white roadking ?????

Every hog is a tourer.

That's pretty well right.  I did more touring on a Dyna Superglide than I have on the Streetglide.  As to why buy a bagger?  It'd very handy being able to stop at the shops on the way home without having to plan ahead to carry a backpack or ocky straps.

But a red tourer screams old man with working dick....but no interest!

I got mine to pursue the performance bagger route and to date pretty happy with all the modifications Ive done to date to get it up to speed.

except the ones with no saddle bags???

Too right, turns out the breakout doesn’t do a bad job at ‘touring’

No exceptions.

very well stacked .!
