The 2017 Harley-Davidson Road King perfectly marries timeless heritage styling with modern touring capability, looking exceptionally majestic in its premium two-tone Black Hills Gold and Black Quartz finish. This stunning factory color scheme wraps the deep-valanced fenders, 6-gallon fuel tank, and injection-molded hard saddlebags, accented by elegant pinstriping and a brilliant mirror-chrome engine trim package. Strip-down ready for custom boulevard cruising or cross-country hauls, the Road King features a classic large Hiawatha headlamp nacelle, a detachable clear king-size windshield, Impeller cast aluminum wheels, and a plush two-up touring saddle designed for long-distance comfort.
The big story for 2017 lives under the tank with the introduction of the advanced Milwaukee-Eight® 107 engine, a 1746cc V-Twin powerhouse that uncoils a massive 111 ft-lbs of smooth low-end torque. Featuring four-valve cylinder heads and a counter-balancer that removes 75 percent of primary vibration at idle, this cooler-running motor delivers crisp throttle response and a distinctively rich exhaust note through chrome dual pipes. The mechanical purity of the cockpit relies on a tank-mounted console with an analog speedometer and electronic cruise control, paired with high-performance Showa® dual bending valve front suspension and emulsion rear shocks for a smooth, unflappable ride across any state line.
