Overview

Introducing the 2007 Harley-Davidson FLHRC Road King Classic, a quintessential touring motorcycle that embodies the spirit of freedom on two wheels. A proud member of the iconic Harley lineup, the Road King Classic stands out with its classic styling, plush comfort, and impressive performance. With a starting price of $17,695, this motorcycle appeals to those who seek the perfect blend of nostalgia and modern engineering. It’s a machine designed for the open road, making it a favorite among long-distance riders and Harley enthusiasts alike. At the heart of the Road King Classic is the robust Twin Cam 96 engine, boasting a displacement of 1573 cc (95.98 cubic inches). This V2, four-stroke powerhouse delivers a torque of 125.56 Nm (92.6 ft-lbs) at just 3500 RPM, ensuring that riders have the muscle needed for spirited acceleration and smooth cruising. The six-speed transmission allows for effortless gear changes, ensuring that you're always in the right power band, whether you're navigating city streets or eating up highway miles. With a fuel consumption of 5.22 liters per 100 km (or an impressive 45.06 mpg), this beast is not only powerful but also surprisingly efficient for a motorcycle in its class. The Road King Classic is equipped with features that enhance both ride quality and practicality. Its comfortable 29.5-inch seat height provides an accessible riding position, while the 18.92-liter fuel tank ensures you can cover long distances without frequent stops. The bike’s classic aesthetic is complemented by modern touches such as electric start and multiple color options, including Vivid Black and the new Pacific Blue Pearl. The suspension, featuring a combination of double disc front brakes and a single disc rear brake, provides a smooth ride while maintaining responsive handling, making it a joy to ride whether you’re on a day trip or a week-long adventure. **

Pros

  • Comfortable Touring Experience: With its plush seat and relaxed riding position, the Road King Classic is designed for long-haul comfort.
  • Powerful Twin Cam 96 Engine: The robust engine offers impressive torque and smooth acceleration, perfect for both cruising and spirited riding.
  • Classic Aesthetic Appeal: The timeless design combined with modern performance makes it a head-turner on the road.

Cons

  • Limited Storage: While it shines in aesthetics, the Road King Classic does not come with extensive built-in storage, requiring additional accessories for longer trips.
  • Price Point: With a starting price of $17,695, it may be out of reach for some riders looking for an entry-level touring motorcycle.
