History of the Road King. A Harley Davidson legend

Few bikes are more recognisable than a Harley Davidson Road King. The esence of all baggers nowadays capable of long haul trips anywhere with a great style and a typical Harley performance.

The model started back in 1993 by a redesign of the FL series.  The retro look that it has, similar to the Fat Boy's appereance, makes it an exremely tasty bike which has become a legend so far. Even though the model is not very old, by using the basis of the more classical bikes that Harley has they created this beautiful and mean machine you wouldn't be surprised to find on an Al Capone film.

It also claim to be the best option for durability as some of them have been seen to make some dozens of thounsands miles without any serious problems. Wanna travel? Think of this bike.

However, other riders say that the bike it's too heavy and that it doesn't permform as good as a jap bike would. These are the typical Harley handicaps but who cares when you're riding the coolest bike! There are performance bikes that you can choose.
