Motorcycle specifications Harley-Davidson 1690 ROAD KING FLHR 2016 Cruiser as you wish

it's been many years since the Road King relied on the Classic version to ply the highways and the smiles of bikers. An ode to the road for lovers of this machine that exudes the spirit of deepest America. But why limit yourself to one expression of this pleasure when you can have two versions, with intrinsic subtleties. And so the Road King returns after a 6-year absence.

it leaves it up to the other models in the Touring range(Street Glide, Ultra Limited, Road Glide, Electra Glide, etc.) to use and abuse appendages to perfect the journey. More humble and traditional to the limit of simplicity, the machine lends itself perfectly to cruising, mane protected or hair blowing in the wind; the choice can be made in an instant with the easily removable windshield.
The main distinguishing feature from the Classic is the hips. Here, the suitcases are rigid; the Classic is equipped with leather panniers. Their carrying capacity is 32 liters each, with the ease of opening provided by the One-touch system.

there's no Boom Box multimedia sound system, no GPS, no MP3, no Bluetooth, nothing to sweeten the ride. Everything is shared with the motorcycle, just like in the old days.
Tradition doesn't have to mean immobility. Even if the Road King hasn't changed fundamentally since it first appeared in 1995, MoCo has steadily added the improvements that time and technology have sprinkled on Harley's production. Today, this cruiser features the Twin Cam 103 High Output version. That's all the charm and fatness of two bowls rattling around in 1690 cm3. The road comes with 14 mkg of torque, metallic whirrs and pulses oscillating between the power of a generous displacement and the rhythm of an asynchronous pacemaker.

and equipment to enjoy as you cruise the highways. The triple-lens design features Daymaker LED headlights, spitting out 986 lumens (equivalent to a 75-watt incandescent bulb). The rear shock absorber, with its short 76 mm fork, transfers forces directly to the back, but the suspension is air-assisted. The Brembo brakes are coupled by the REFLEX system and can be relied on to reinforce the ABS. The H-D Smart immobilizer, cruise control, 49 mm forks and that unmistakable style cannot be overlooked.

then there's cruising, which can also be appreciated in the little details, such as the long running boards, wide handlebars, instrumentation anchored to the tank on the tank, a selection of chrome, quality paintwork, and sensations that only an American with a wing badge can match.

like all good Harleys, it comes with a substantial weight (371 kilos - twice that of a KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE R), a generous 1625 mm wheelbase, and a hefty price tag. Criteria quickly forgotten by brand enthusiasts.
