Overview

Introducing the 2013 Harley-Davidson Road King Fire - Rescue, a true embodiment of the spirit of the open road fused with the robust reliability that first responders demand. This special edition motorcycle is designed not only for the enthusiast who craves long-distance touring but also for those who appreciate the well-honed craftsmanship of Harley-Davidson's legendary touring lineup. With its striking red color and purpose-driven design, the Road King Fire - Rescue stands out as a powerhouse of performance and practicality, capturing the hearts of both riders and admirers alike. At the heart of the Road King Fire - Rescue lies a mighty 1687.97 cc (103 cubic inches) V-twin engine that delivers a thrilling performance for every ride. This four-stroke powerhouse, featuring a 9.6:1 compression ratio, provides riders with a delightful blend of torque and horsepower, perfect for both urban cruising and highway adventures. The six-speed gearbox allows for smooth transitions between gears, making it effortless to navigate through city streets or open highways. With a fuel consumption of just 5.60 litres per 100 km (42 mpg), this motorcycle ensures that your journeys can be as long as your spirit of adventure. Beyond its powerful engine, the Road King Fire - Rescue incorporates a range of advanced features that enhance both comfort and safety. The robust tubular frame is complemented by a 41.3 mm telescopic front suspension and air-adjustable rear suspension, providing a ride that is both smooth and stable. Safety is paramount, and with double disc ABS brakes at the front and a single disc ABS brake at the rear, riders can trust that they have the stopping power needed in critical situations. Furthermore, the innovative bead-retention tires are designed to remain on the wheel even during sudden pressure loss, and the sealed, automotive-style wheel bearings require minimal maintenance, allowing riders to focus on the thrill of the ride rather than the hassle of upkeep. **
