The Road King® Special

image

Harley-Davidson doesn’t exactly have a dark horse in its stables, but the Road King Special often goes unnoticed as a dark take on a classic. This touring bike brings unstoppable power and attitude to an already sleek design. With modern design and performance like you’d see in any Harley touring model, the Road King Special brings everything good about touring bikes together for an unforgettable experience. If you’re interested in taking a look at some of these bikes for yourself, or you’re eager to hop into the saddle for a test ride, head into Texarkana Harley-Davidson®, where we’re proud to serve Texarkana and Omaha, Texas, as well as Camden, Arkansas.

Nostalgic Style

A king’s style never goes out of fashion, and it doesn’t get better than a classic. Nostalgic, blacked-out features help create a dark custom aesthetic from front to rear. From the glass-black turbine wheels, which utilize modern styling to make them appear even bigger and bolder than they already are, to the blacked-out tank mounted gauge, this Harley takes old style and enhances it in every way imaginable. And it only gets better with the Milwaukee-Eight® engine, which doesn’t only provide amazing power, but also adds yet another layer to the fierce design and intimidating style that you get on this bike. Turn some heads and take charge of the road, you’re the king with the stylish new Road King Special. But don’t let the factory floor be the end of the Road King Special look; check out the numerous customizable options and aftermarket upgrades to make yours truly special.

Advanced Rideability

A touring bike is useless if it doesn’t provide a comfortable ride. No one wants to ride an uncomfortable bike for long, and Harley-Davidson wants you riding the Road King Special as much as humanly possible. In that spirit, they’ve decked out this tourer with all the modern comforts you could ever want. This starts with a one piece, two-up seat shaped with a deep contoured bucket that provides plenty of support for your back as well as narrower necks so you don’t get fatigued during the long ride. You’ll also find the riding position and seat lower than expected to get you that close-to-the-road feel while encouraging a confident riding position. Grip the mini-ape handlebars so you can sit taller and assert an aggressive stance on the road. And to make trips easier, you’ll get stretched saddlebags for a sleek look on the outside and roomy storage on the inside with more than enough space to stash your riding gear.

Modern Performance

A king wields tremendous power, and you’ll find plenty in the Milwaukee-Eight V-Twin engine. This powerplant brings cool-running power to the Road King Special with crisp throttle response and a soul-satisfying rumble. You’ll get 111ft-lb of torque for unbeatable mid- to high-end torque, and don’t forget the redesigned and high-performing front and rear suspensions that’ll keep all that power tethered. And finally, Reflex Linked Brembo® brakes with ABS standard link the front and rear brakes electronically to apply exactly the right amount of braking power to each tire no matter the road conditions.

A melding of classic taste with modern tech makes the Road King Special a bike that’ll satisfy like no other touring motorcycle can. For those looking for a test ride, head into Texarkana Harley-Davidson®. Our team of knowledgeable and courteous professionals is ready to answer all your questions and help you find the Harley motorcycle of your dreams! Come in today and learn the true meaning of customer satisfaction. We serve Texarkana and Omaha, Texas, as well as our neighbors in Camden, Arkansas.
