Overview

### Introducing the 2014 Harley-Davidson Road King The 2014 Harley-Davidson Road King stands as a testament to the brand's long-standing legacy of combining classic American styling with modern touring capabilities. Positioned in the touring category, the Road King is designed for those who crave the open road and the freedom that comes with it. With its inviting price tag of US$18,249, it caters to seasoned riders and newcomers alike, offering a perfect blend of comfort, performance, and style. This motorcycle invites you to explore the countryside or cruise along coastal highways, all while wrapped in the timeless charm that only a Harley can deliver. ### Engine Performance and Riding Characteristics At the heart of the Road King lies a powerful 1687.97 ccm (103.00 cubic inches) V2, four-stroke engine, delivering an impressive torque of 135.60 Nm (100.0 ft.lbs) at just 3250 RPM. This robust engine promises thrilling acceleration and a smooth ride, whether you're navigating city streets or embarking on long-distance adventures. The 6-speed gearbox and belt final drive provide seamless power delivery, allowing you to tackle any terrain with confidence. Coupled with an air-cooled design and electronic sequential port fuel injection, the Road King offers a fuel consumption of approximately 5.60 liters/100 km (42.00 mpg), ensuring you can enjoy those long rides without frequent stops at the pump. ### Key Features and Technology The 2014 Road King isn’t just about raw power; it’s also equipped with a range of features that enhance the riding experience. The bike's chassis is designed for comfort, featuring a rake of 26.0° and a trail of 170 mm that provide stability and responsiveness. The single disc brakes—4-piston at the front and 2-piston at the rear—ensure reliable stopping power. With a generous fuel capacity of 22.71 liters (6.00 gallons), you can confidently set out on those extended journeys. Additionally, the Road King is available in multiple stunning color options, including Sand Pearl/Canyon Brown Pearl and Mysterious Red Sunglo, allowing riders to choose a look that suits their personality. Its adjustable windshield not only adds to the aesthetic appeal but also enhances ride comfort by deflecting wind. ###
