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!

Pros Cons BMW R 18

Pros

  • Extremely stylish
  • Powerful boxer engine
  • Top-notch build

Cons

  • Expensive
  • Too heavy at low speeds
  • Pegs scrape around sharp corners

Verdict

The BMW R 18 is BMW Motorrad's answer to the heavyweight cruiser segment. With a massive boxer engine, beautiful retro-inspired design and gleaming chrome, the BMW R 18 has a lot going for it, and is a guaranteed head turner. If heavyweight cruisers are your thing, the R 18 deserves a close look!
