Harley-Davidson® Road King® Special

The 2018 Harley touring lineup brings forth a bike unprecedented in its dark power and fierce design: the Road King® Special. Borrowing from the classic Road King look, the Special amplifies everything about the bike with more style, more innovation, and more power and performance to go along with it. The comfort features haven’t been ignored either, with plush seating, ergonomic design, and quality parts to give riders a smooth ride with plenty of attitude.

At St. Charles Harley-Davidson®, we’re excited about what the Road King Special has to offer our customers. It’s a beautiful motorcycle with tons of utility and features to make it a sure hit for anyone who wants to spend as much time in the saddle of their Harley as possible.

Nostalgic Style

All kings bear a sense of nostalgia and style, and the Harley Road King Special is no different. Sometimes classic looks can’t be beat, and if you’re a follower of this tenet then this is a bike you can really see moving from the past to the present. A blacked-out finish and style are at the heart of this display of pure attitude, from black turbine wheels to the tank-mounted gauge. The Milwaukee-Eight® engine adds even more fierce design and intimidating style, whether it’s sitting pretty and naked under your seat or roaring like caged thunder as you devour street after street of pavement.

Modern Power

Speaking of the Milwaukee-Eight 107 engine, the Road King Special makes great use of this huge V-Twin for high-speed fun and control. The four valves on each cylinder head help you wring out every ounce of power, torque, and performance from this amazing motor, not to mention the quick throttle response also makes it feel like you’re starting in a full sprint every time. With the power and agility empowering this stylish bike, you’ll take command of the road immediately.

Advanced Comfort

Harley-Davidson doesn’t skimp on comfort when it comes to their touring bikes. They know a touring bike rider is going to spend more time in the saddle than other riders, so they make sure the standard set of features includes ergonomic seating and handlebar placement to ensure you can ride for as long as you want. The features don’t stop there, as the Road King Special will make you feel like true royalty. There’s the ergonomically designed handlebars, which reduce fatigue on your wrists and allow you a relaxed position while riding. And finally, the premium suspension with Showa Dual Bending valve technology and tool-free preload on the rear emulsion make even the bumpiest streets seem like smooth trails, as this suspension works like never before with its reliable shocks and confident control.

Whether you’re after a classic motorcycle with modern power or a stylish touring bike with plenty of comfort, you’ll find the Road King Special hits every note you could want.
