Pros Cons of Harley-Davidson Road King

Pros

  • Proper retro cruiser design
  • Comfortable ergonomics
  • Torque-heavy engine is a gem

Cons

  • Heavy in weight
  • Ride quality is a bit stiff
  • Lacks electronic aids

Verdict

The Harley-Davidson Road King is a bagger and offers solid road presence, on account of its sheer size. The Road King has been discontinued in India and one may find models in the used two-wheeler segment or through Harley-Davidson owners group but we recommend to stay clear of it. The new H-D Road Glide makes more sense as a full-blown bagger, if you do want to buy one!

Verdict

As A big, bulky adventure bike may not appeal to everyone. But then, it may be just the bike with all-round versatility that many riders seek, even those who have had considerable experience with sportier machines. The GS has a reputation as being one of the most versatile motorcycles which can be used for both two-up touring with luggage as well as for adventures. And it's not difficult to understand why it has been so popular and has been one of the bestselling adventure bikes worldwide.
