Harley-Davidson Road King Classic reviews

It has always been a reliable trouble free motorcycle. It has LED lights and a Vance and Hines Fuel pack. It is a heavy motorcycle, and I am getting to the age that I want to go back to a lower lighter bike. I am not the original owner. To my knowledge it has never been down. Show less

I purchased this motorcycle new in 2011,and was my third Harley owned. I rode a 93 Lowrider, 2006 Softail but was looking for a more comfortable ride for my wife. The 2011 Ultra Limited was the right upgrade, for touring on the open road, very smooth and comfortable. Cruise control, windshield, and stereo makes the open road enjoyable. Heated handgrips a plus for cold weather days. This bike is in excellent shape, brand new tires and Vance Hines dual exhaust, 6 th gear a must for highway tourning. Show less

The bike is dialed in and fun to ride. Shifting is smooth and power constant when getting on the throttle. It was tuned and dyno'd by the best mechanic on the west side and ready for a new home. Personally, I'd repaint it and ditch the monkey bars. A straight bar would serve the bike well and with only 7k original miles, it's a deal. Ride it like you stole it or go easy and cruise. Tons of fun. Show less

Bike has been reliable , trouble free , once I received the bike I re alined the side car and ajusted the brake buy adding a hydraulic compensator so the rear brake on the bike and the brake on the side car acted together. this avoide any pulling commonly found with side cars Show less

Custom Fatboy with beach handlebars, top end rebuilt by Jim (Smiley) Smith with Keith Black pistons, new gaskets, S@S carb, chrome rims and samson exhaust. Bike is lowered and most can't believe the age of the bike. Looks good! Show less

I purchased this motorcycle in 2005. It had 5,050 miles on it at the time. I've put 78K miles on it including 3 cross country trips. Having been an aircraft mechanic I'm very disciplined about doing all the required maintenance consequently I have never had a breakdown with this bike. It's been totally reliable and even at 83K it still starts and runs perfectly. The quality of the factory build was excellent but I did find the dealership workmanship on some of the accessories subpar. The initial performance was also subpar. In 5th gear at highway speeds twisting the throttle did little or nothing. A stage one upgrade resolved that issue. For touring the factory seat was adequate but replacing it with and oversize seat with gel pads and a driver back rest made a long day's ride more enjoyable. I love the mustache engine guards. They provide an addition place to rest your foot when riding and the factory cruise control makes for a steady laid back ride. Would I recommend this motorcycle? YES! If your enjoy touring this is one reliable and comfortable long haul bike. I rode it from Washington State to The Cabot Trail in Nova Scotia and on the way back drove the entire Blue Ridge Parkway. Nothing better than those backroads! Show less

This is an excellent riding motorcycle. I have had no mechanical issues with this bike. I have owned this bike for 14 years with no issues. I have really enjoyed the rides and I have never regreted the purchase. Show less

I really enjoyed owning my Road King. Comfort is top tier, for rider and passenger, with wind buffeting hardly noticeable with the fork fangs. The Ohlin shocks made the ride smooth, eating up bumps. The aftermarket Vance and Hines pipes aren't too loud but make for a nice rumble. I added a Ciro phone holder wireless charger and a big cup holder for those long trips. Gas mileage is excellent. The Tour Pak has a rack on top for extra storeage. 2up seat is comfortable, so my wife says. Bike cover is included! Brand new battery. Battery tender is included. Just changed the oil and filter at 25000 mi. There is a reason cops ride these bikes in motorcycle rodeos: they corner like a rabbit! Show less

My experience with this bike is i have never riden a bike before. I took the class but learned everything on this bike. Its too big for me to handle i need something smaller. It runs awesome very powerful bike for my first. Show less
