Overview

### 2000 Harley-Davidson FLHR Road King: The Classic Cruiser The 2000 Harley-Davidson FLHR Road King is a quintessential model in the custom-cruiser category, embodying the spirit of freedom and adventure that has long captivated motorcycle enthusiasts. With its classic styling and robust performance, the Road King is designed for riders who appreciate the open road and the timeless aesthetic of American motorcycling. Positioned as a versatile touring bike, it seamlessly blends comfort and style, making it an ideal companion whether you're cruising through the city or embarking on a long-distance journey. At the heart of the FLHR Road King lies a potent 1499 cc V2, four-stroke engine that churns out an impressive 67 horsepower at 5200 RPM and delivers a robust torque of 110 Nm at just 3100 RPM. This combination ensures that the Road King has the muscle to conquer highways while providing an exhilarating ride. The air-cooled engine, paired with a 5-speed gearbox, offers a smooth and responsive acceleration that complements the bike's heavy, yet stable frame weighing in at 345 kg (760.6 lbs). Riders can expect a top speed of 165 km/h (102.5 mph), making it more than capable of keeping pace with the demands of highway cruising. The Road King doesn't just excel in performance; it is also equipped with features that enhance comfort and usability. The bike boasts dual disc brakes at the front and a single disc at the rear, providing confident stopping power. With a generous fuel capacity of 18.90 liters (4.99 gallons), you can embark on longer rides without constantly worrying about refueling. The seat height of 692 mm (27.2 inches) allows for an accessible riding experience, making it suitable for a wider range of riders. With an array of color options—ranging from classic black to striking lilac—there’s a Road King to match every personality. ####
