2017 Harley Davidson Road King Review at RevZilla.com

Harley Davidson Road King Review
www.revzilla.co...
Unabashed in style and unapologetic in purpose, the 2017 Harley Road King comes to the scene loaded for bear with the all-new Milwaukee Eight engine. Long-range ready, and as robust in comfort features as it is in heritage, there are few motorcycles on the road that can match aptitude with attitude on the same level as the Harley Road King. In this motorcycle review, Lemmy shares his well-earned thoughts on the new 2017 Road King, as well as the MoCo. itself, while logging some autumn miles on the backroads of PA.

I like this guy. States that he's a Harley fan, but also freely mentions things it doesn't do well and that he doesn't like about it for a fair review. Nicely done!

[@erikschiller7210]

Anyone who is a fan of something and respects other things and acknowledges flaws in the thing they like is a very respectable person.

[@NickelSpeedShop]

I can't speak for the 2017 but my 2008 is just awesome. I've ridden softails and street glides and ultras and some non-Harleys but nothing feels like your getting on an American bike more than a road king. I don't believe in windshields or radios or navigation or handlebars with so many buttons on the that they look like you taped a keyboard on each side. If you want to listen to some music just twist the grip, windshield get between me and the wind and that just ain't right. And what if you get lost? Well then your the lucky one.

[@Jrock420blam]

I prefer the older Road King's to the newer ones myself though I do use a windshield depending on the distance I am going. A few hundred miles is no big deal but going cross country to New Hampshire, Daytona or Sturgis and a few thousand miles will kick your ass. I am a 6'6 275 lb former Marine so I am no pussy but that is a looooong ride to take all what wind at 80 MPH. My pop has an ultra-classic and they have booming stereo so if i want music I just ride next to him, it helps with the boring stretches of long highway sometimes, but you are right, I prefer the roar of hammering on the throttle in open spaces. Edit: you can't get lost on a motorcycle those are just side adventures HAHA

[@MrBoredom123]

Can't stand radios either. Length of the ride depends on if I use a windshield or not. Also, never liked the way any of the fairings look.

[@thelastfreeapache5004]

When you get lost, you know you are headed in the right direction.

[@starguard4122]

Agreed

[@chrisbowser2495]

i just bought a 2019 road king. i traded my sportster. that was a tough thing to do. i will be picking up the new one in a few days. my wife is super pumped. she can be comfortable now... i freakin love harley davidson...

[@DrRynsta]

That is one hell of a review, great camera work and as always Lemmy sells the bike.

[@clydegreene3348]

Yeah I agree in fact I'd like to know what camera he is using? I want to add one for documentation of runs? I noted the oil cooler, my next addition to my 07 RK.

[@scottlazar9731]

This may be one of the best motorcycle reviews I've ever seen. Great presenter, production, and overall thoughts on the bike.

[@malkay8]

Your reviews , IN MY OPINION are some the BEST reviews that I have seen. Very informative and really more in depth than a lot of reviews that I have seen for bikes, or even so me of the car reviews I have seen. This is the first review that I have seen from you, and it was an instant subscribe. Keep up the great work.

[@lexkantoor6514]

What cost the harley

[@RBoyle-fn5hh]

Thanks, Lemmy...I always enjoy watching you and listening to your informative commentary. I am 69 years old, and have been riding only 3 years! Can you say old guy "bucket list"? Gotta ride before I die! LOL...My first HD, out of "school," was a pristine '06 Sportster 1200C I found on Craig'sList for a great price. A year later (2014) I saw the re-introduced Dyna Lowrider and fell in "love at first sight." I'm a shorty, 5'6", so I test rode that beautiful low-slung thing, and bought it; glossy black with a simple red pinstripe and HD logo. I've tricked it out/uip with some nice improvements...fairing, bags, Vance & Hines pipes, heavy breather, etc., and it's a smooth, powerful lil' beast, with the 103 now pulling better than ever. On the pretty light LR frame it's a dang missile! Woof! Anyway, I'm getting too chatty. I just wanted to weigh in as a "newbie," but loyal HD man to the end! Here's to the Open Road...

[@XXXDeadhead]

I love all motorcycles... but a Harley will always make me grin!

[@mchildress8972]

I’ve got an 03 100th anniversary king, got it from my grandpa after he passed away, guy he bought it from but hard bags, custom paint, handle bars, seat, Vance and Hines, all the works. I love that bike

[@jashanmalsj]

My first bike was a Honda, my second was a Honda too. Since then I’ve owned 5 Harley’s. Can’t imagine riding anything else...

[@A_Man_Of_Culture_]

Harley only sells about 216,000 bikes a year, which is actually a small amount when put into perspective. People complain about the performance of Harley's "and by performance I mean overall performance" because you can make a lightweight, powerful, smooth, and affordable bike with excellent build quality easily it just requires the company to decide that it is worth the investment. If Harley added full liquid cooling, dropped about 25% off of the stroke and added 25% bore you would have even more torque, and the engine would be far more response. People think that adding performance to a Harley will ruin it for touring, but it would actually make it better at everything.

[@Al-jh9ie]

Awesome stuff, I always appreciate lemmy's thoughts on HD related stuff (and other stuff too ofc!)

[@andimbackonmygrind]

I love watching Lemmy work on things and cracking open a beer haha. This channel is really unappreciated! You guys should have Lemmy do a review on a Dyna Street Bob!

[@opticalecho119]

I really hope Lemmy starts his own channel. He’s great.

[@kayceesimmons1737]

my grandpas first bike was a duo glide his favorite thing about the bike was the saddle bags he could fit a case of beer in each one with ice around it so when he got home his beer was cold

[@DaddyEric222]

A+ to your videography team! As a production student I think you all would be a fun group to work with.

[@GIGABACHI]

Not a cruiser rider but you had me after first and foremost stating the HD facts. Carry on, Sr. 👌👍

[@QU13TMAN]

Lemmy you are the man! Love the reviews, especially the fake ones but really love the fact you guys are literally in my back yard! RevZilla for life!

[@DJ-kx6gr]

I'm coming around to liking the road king. I had a 15 street glide for 2 years and sold it. The road king is simple and iconic, whereas the street glide can become a distraction with messing with the radio and gps.

[@SixShooter14]

I just traded in my '92 Softail that had only a speedometer for a high tech '97 Road King that has a Speedo and an aftermarket fuel gauge. I'm really enjoying the comfy touring-type bike but it's still a simple carb'd EVO that I know i can tear into if something goes wrong (after all, it is 22 years old)

[@thedragontxst]

Hey Lemmy. I own a 2017 Road King. And you hit the nail on the head on the seat topic. For me it keeps sliding me forward. I'm a tall guy, the last thing I need is my knees on my chest. My other concern is every once in a while my engine oil light stays on after I start my engine. It did it from day one. Numerous times I brought it back to HD to correct the problem....but to no avail. And lastly the squeaking noise from my rear wheel. All in all, I am satisfied with my ride. If the Harley & Davidson brothers were alive...this would make them very proud. Thank you Lemmy for the review. Take care. Aloha.

[@satelite990]

Having bought a 2006 RK this past November Ive been looking at a lot of videos lately. Your reviews and videos are one of the best ive seen. Subscribed.

[@JP1970]

Dude, you are the man! I bought my 2019 Heritage after watching the video you did on it, and now I'm going on vacation and will probably rent this bike based on this review. Thanks so much!

[@darenc4459]

Lemmy, just bought myself my 1st brand new Harley on 11/1/18 I went with the 2018 Road King and could not be happier. I agree with you on the seat, I broke her in with an 1150 miles roundtrip for lunch. Was phenomenal and a torque monster for an H-D. So far I am bone stock and still loving it. Although my 1st mod with be the seat. I do a fair share of long distance riding and the stock seat after 750 miles, is a pain in the A$$. I am thinking either a 19" wide Mustang or a Russel Day Long seat, which is popular in the LDR community. I don't know if you remember me from one of my other posts, saying you don't really know a bike until you've done at least 1k miles non stop. Keep on keeping on brother. Love your reviews. Peace Daren-C4 PS. Pushing 4k on her so far, miles of smiles :-)

[@upup209]

Would like to hear your comments a year in on your RK

[@stevecummings3228]

Lemmy laying down the best reviews as usual...keep it up

[@dezsez653]

Very nice review as always. Well shot,well informed,and when executed. Keep the quality reviews coming.

[@georgecostanza2695]

Although the riding style of Road King riders may not demand ABS, they’re more likely to find themselves in conditions where it would come in mighty handy (ie. in inclement weather, on unfamiliar roads). Sure you may be able to stop (negligibly) faster without ABS, but can YOU stop faster without it... in an emergency? in any state of repair/disrepair that a public road can be in? How about on unexpected, unseen oily patch, sand, gravel, or tar snakes? I’ll be the first to admit that I can’t, even under ideal conditions, in a controlled environment. I know this because I’ve tried, in an advanced rider training course. When (not if) that car turns out in front of me and I instinctively goo for that front brake as hard as I can, I’ll take an ABS equipped bike every time. Furthermore, the main purpose of ABS is not to stop faster and it’s not to maintain steering while “locking up” the brakes. While that may be the case in a car; not so much on a bike. While it does allow us to maintain directional stability, the direction we’re concerned with is straight up and down. That is, the biggest benefit of ABS for riders during an emergency/panic stop on the street is that it reduces the likelihood of locking up the wheels and the ensuing high/low side.

[@rockymountainhigh2002]

I’m 26 years old 6’1 and 300lb . I started riding at 16 with a sporster 883 and I was same height and weight. I had a dyna and now traded that in for a road king and have had it for 3 years now. This is hands down my favorite Harley bike. It’s got a classic look which I love. I never liked the look of fairings and you have the choice to remove the windshield. It’s also touring capable and comfortable without all the extra weight of the tour pack or big ass fairing unless you feel like buying a tour pack in which you also have that option I even ride this bike with my dog. Also the Harley community has a bad rep usually from tough guy posers that only really ride twice a year and wanna put on a Halloween costume but I can wholeheartedly say in actuality their community is one of the nicest I’ve ever met. Guys have even given me free parts and gear because they’re so exited to see a young guy riding Harley. I absolutely love this bike and Even though it’s trendy for millennials and I guess misinformed people to hate on Harley I can proudly say I’m a Harley man until I die.

[@aytes44]

I just bought a 2017 Road King, and I am two minutes into this review, and so far you are spot on. I just wanted to say that you have a great intro.

[@Chase_N]

I just bought this exact Road King. Same year & everything with only 7,800 miles on the clock. I wanted something to tour on that had the most view of the road & I also liked how the steering felt lighter than on the Street Glide. Coming from a Dyna 103, I have to say I'm impressed.

[@user-bl3jw4bo3r]

well I have a 2010 103". I love the Roadking. After 09, they widened the frame and added 6 speed transmission. Its easy to remove the windshield for most riding, long trips, I put it on. Something you can't do with a fairing. They are easily customizable and have that classic look. I have 16"s on mine, Freight Train bezel, custom seat & custom paint.

[@lukepace8546]

This was a great find, probably the best motorcycle review video I've seen to date. Good stuff and now I'm subscribing...

[@briannorwell202]

I miss Lemmy...he seemed true and honest

[@1966idc]

My two bikes have both been tall and thin, a KLE500 and a Versys. I have done about 30,000 miles on them. Then for my birthday I got a days hire of the Road King. With its low down weight it felt planted and reassuring stable. I could also lean far further than I thought. I do not think it handles badly at all, it just handles differently.

[@buckdoe9828]

I have a 2009 Dyna with a windshield and bags. I'm going to buy a 2018 Road King next spring. Road the 2017 and it's awesome !

[@patriciaclance3586]

I would like to ask this. Is the 2015/2019 Road King frame different from the 2017/19 RoadGlide and Ultra Limited frames? I have test ridden the Road Glide Ultra and Ultra Limited and loved the ride of the Road Glide Ultra. Im 60 years old and considering a Road King due to not having the heavy fairing on the forks like a Ultra Limited. I like the frame mounted fairing on The Road Glide but not sure how long it would take me to get use to the fixed fairing at extremely low speed turns. On the other hand I love it because there isn't hardly any wind buffering on the Road Glide. Also, How is the handling of The Road King at speeds of 85 mph on the interstate? Thanks for answering these multitude of questions.Im looking for a touring Harley to go along with my Softail cruiser.

[@Zalonka]

You know I"ll be honest I'm not a Harley fan in anyway shape or form. I would buy my Dad's though because it's just that My Dad's. He has a 2007 Heritage Classic Custom with a Fatboy front end and completely custom motor. So much motor work actually that the MINIMUM insurance plan only goes down to $2,000 no matter your driving / riding record. I love it though. That said I'm glad you actually mention the faults of the bike as well as the pros. This goes with ANY rider. I can't stand when it's "This is the best bike/brand fuck all the others."

[@Alimahmoudi1992]

Why people complain about this bike? That's my Dream bike Lemmy, This MAN"S Motorcycle

[@Rich-ok1hg]

Top notch review, I bought the windshield you suggested and it is perfect. You’re the man Lemmy

[@bigblueglide8021]

Lemmy so glad to see a MAN do these review instead of the 150lb road ninja in his leather PJ's. Keep it up.....P.S> its nice to be KING.....Perfectly named bike.....

[@tykiisel8801]

I just picked up a used 2017 Road King after 10 years on an ‘04 King. The M8 is more powerful, smoother, and better riding than my ‘04. Everything you say about the Road King buyer applies to me. After several hundred miles on the bike, so far I really like the bike. Great review.

[@caioo82]

Big shoutout to Lemmy! 🤘

[@cinghialemannaro76]

It's a fantastic review of a bike that I'd happily buy, if I only had the chance of a proper demo ride. However, a small critique: there is no such thing as a "riding style that doesn't need ABS". No matter how slow you go, ABS can literally make the difference between standing and falling, no matter the speed. ABS is not something meant for sports bike: it's an added security for all of us, because a leak of oil or diesel in the road happens the same if you ride at 40 or 200km/h. Whatever, ride safe :)

[@1satisfiedmind]

These are reviews, they're mini documentaries. Excellent work.

[@badmen68]

Surfing through hundreds of motorcycle channel on KZbin stop here, love it !

[@rclines001]

I was very happy to see the new HD engine. Now we just need to fix a few other areas. For a company that prides themselves on being the best, you would think they would actually try to be the best at least. They have made some strides in that direction, so don't get me hating to much, but just not enough for me. I love all motorcycles. I ride 24/7/365 unless there is ice on the roads, and that doesn't happen much here in Texas. I wave at everyone, including mopeds. I currently own a sport bike and a bagger, both Yamaha. Both amazing bikes, and both I know will start and work every single time I get on them. And that is straight off the show room floor. And neither bike cooks my balls if I get stuck in bumper to bumper traffic. Neither bike overheats if I get stuck in bumper to bumper traffic also. That's what I EXPECT in a bike. If Harley gave me that, I'd own a Harley. I hope that happens some day. Honestly I do. It's just not today.

[@vitoraimondi2626]

Lemmy - you and the Revzilla crew are at the top of the game.

[@ManoftheGap]

I don't hate Harley for their performance, but the way they mismanaged Buell.

[@dezsez653]

My buds and I joke about that all the time. We're half convinced they keep Erik Buell locked away in a janitor's closet somewheres at corporate and every few years open it and demand a part or a concept.

[@joshuaholmes7929]

Harley didn't mismanage Buell. Buells were so bad when Harley bought the brand it couldn't be saved. Notice how now that Erik Buell makes only 1 bike it's a great bike?

[@ManoftheGap]

joshua holmes Buell having to make the Buell Blast with a Harley Engine, which they purchased from Harley and sold the bike at a loss? Or that they were forced to market Buells through Harley dealerships, which more often than not ostracised the bikes in a back corner, since their profit was made off Harley Accessories. I recommend you read this Cycle World Article. drive.google.com/open?id=0B_qu9zuw6HGKVl9ZS0lqS3F2TDQ

[@joshuaholmes7929]

ManoftheGap Tell me one thing if Buells were in such good bikes then why did the company have to be sold and made by harley to begin with

[@ManoftheGap]

Capital for growth, access to a robust dealer network, though that was mishandled. Hard to sell bikes with out a dealer network, with the multitude of state laws preventing sells direct from the manufacturer.The Company wasn't sold, Harley bought in; it was a decade of mishandling, treating the company like a bastard step child, that lead to the shut down.

[@chrisdroste3296]

I love my '16 FatBob, and i saw the Milwakee8 and felt a little screwed, but the more things i hear and where they have them sit, I'm more convinced to just keep my bike and tune it how i like; then when touring time comes either just opt for luggage and a screen, or just give up and go get the Springfield, which, I just flat out felt you were waaaay more happy and geeked about being on. maybe its cuz the RK is old hat to you, but little things like "optional ABS" system that you wouldn't put money into, and scraping boards to the point of high-centering. i mean maybe the Springfield wasn't pushed as hard cuz it was a first ride, or that, in my experience, the Springfield was just such an incredible beast to ride that it didn't even come up that there WAS any sort of similar shortcomings.

[@jeffkeni]

Great to see ya, Lem! I'm not sure why KZbin saw fit to recommend this one to me but I'm glad they did.

[@axebeard7677]

I love my Harley, had it for 13 years now. Recently I've wanted something more from a bike and have considered getting a bike like an FZ09.

[@68weebee]

I just got converted to Harley. I have a Victory too which is a nice bike as well. I'm a fan of all bikes. Indian Chief is a sweet bike. I just got me a Road King Classic in November and I like it a lot. I lovey white wells and hard leather bag look. Road Kings are beautiful. It is a cool feeling riding a Road King.

[@tripeee58]

Lemmy! I"m hoping to make the trip to Bike week and see you there! Keep up the GR8 reviews!

[@ronaldswafford4724]

I have a 2018 and it's a keeper

[@DixieWhiskey]

A great review as always, Lemmy. Also, I have those same boots and love them.

[@automotivelastproduction6959]

Came across this video by chance and I must say this is one the most entertainment and interesting "reviews" I found. Thanks for the fun!

[@jackmiranda4608]

I absolutely love the HD Road King Classic (I wish they were made in the US). The simplicity, the spoked wheels, the white wall tires, and the avalanche of aftermarket parts. Such a joy and beauty to behold. For my retirement, I purchased a brand new 2012 Road King Classic (blue/black) that I configured with my preferences. It had the touring trunk, the HD GPS, the BOOM audio twin speakers, adjustable backrest, etc. Unfortunately, in 2017, the divorce lawyers required a sacrifice and my dream motorcycle was lost on the chopping block. But I digress. I’m 56 years young and have been riding since I was 13. I’ve lost count of the number of motorcycles I’ve had the pleasure to ride and own. Having said that, my 2012 Road King Classic was the best riding experience I’ve had on a motorcycle. I’m retired now and I don’t think I’ll ever be able to own one again, but at the very least I have my fond experiences. No one can ever take those away. If you own one, enjoy the good times and make lots of memories.

[@skgate]

and why couldn’t you get one again? you can find one for cheap… they are made in USA, just has a few foreign parts, but mostly domestic parts are still used.

[@jesusirazabal4034]

Hey Lemmy really enjoy your videos, but most important I learn a lot...keep it up

[@Weezing818]

The editing on this video was awsome. Good review, too. NICE!

[@BamaShinesDistillery]

Best and most honest intro to a bike video I have ever seen.

[@JohnnyRebKy]

People have a hard time believing anyone just likes Harley naturally rather than the image and name. Well they are wrong. My mom told me when I was a little kid a man pulled up on a big Harley at the gas starion next to us. I told my mom ' I'm gonna have one of those one day'. I didn't even know what a Harley was . But I did know I liked the look and the sound. So in my 20 years of riding I've always had a Harley. I don't care who is faster or has the most technology. I like a Harley because of what it is, not what it isn't

[@tykiisel8801]

I love my 04' King and just about everything he said about who rides these bikes is pretty much spot on.

[@russmode]

From Honda Rebels, to HD Road kings, you alwaya nail the review and make them fun to watch...thank you!!

[@SpudsMcHaggis]

I'll say it upfront, I'm an Indian fan however, I have toured on '14 Road King and out of the HD's I have ridden I do like the Road Kings and for me they are HD. I will 100% agree with you Lemmy about the stock seat and in my belief for the money you pay for a bike like this I expected a much better saddle then the one you get and in this area, Indian wins hands down in my book. I can't wait to throw a leg over a '17 Road King just to see how different it feels from the '14 and to get some first hand experiance with M8 motor. As always another great review Lemmy, two thumbs up. Cheers,

[@QBTO]

just test rode a 2017 today, my first ride on a Harley ! and i loved it, but the riding position needs modifying for me, thought the bars where to close and the seat needs the bum rest cut back to give more room.

[@splodge5714]

I love Harleys have a 2001 Sportster 1200S and hope to end up with a Road King. But I do wish they would come sorted from the Mo Co. Good brakes, quality suspension and a comfortable seat should be standard at the price they charge. I'll never spend more on a single accessory.

[@wndsrfross]

Excellent job on the review, loved how you covered from the bikes historical lineage to the personal mods, keep up the good work, best review yet!

[@gerrywood5325]

I have always liked the Road King and the Heritage Classic, but since the Electra-Glide Standard came out I now find myself scratching my head as to the one I like best. I have test ridden all three and they are similar in some aspects, different in others. Right now, I am leaning more toward the Heritage Classic. I found a set of enormous hard bags for that bike and that's where I think I'm headed. Price wise, the they're all within about two to three grand of each other. I know the Heritage was designed to have the leather bags, but they just look sloppy on such a good looking bike.

[@Frank.Steenkiste]

I love the way the movie is made, very nice video work, in fact it made me buy a Road King!

[@JTroskaTV]

I’ll admit, I’ve been turned off by some “Harley attitude” I’ve experienced here and there. But this guy makes me love the bike for what it is. I could totally get into this.

[@mccarterjg]

I remember your review of the 1800 goldwing, glad to see you're not biased, I myself would like to rent a 107 for a longer than 5 minute test ride especially factory tune, for the short rides it's already leaps and bounds better than the 103 but still not quite the power output of other touring bikes

[@0616ko]

Another superb review. Great quality. I'd be a subscriber if the subject were bicycles. Now, back to browsing your site, want to support Revzilla as best I can to keep the reviews coming. Thanks.

[@seancronin4010]

As always, Lemmy and Revzilla tells is smart and straight.

[@martajajackson1836]

I love how you put the clothing names next to the items.

[@RevZilla]

Thanks! On our older bike reviews, we didn't include them, and people kept asking about the gear. So now, we try to answer those questions without needing to ask in a comment. Cool, right?! -DrewZilla

1st street bike 04 road king 36,000+ miles before I sold it to get the house Latest Harley 2021 road king, Youll upgrade anything toake it yours, but decking a road king, that's a class act with performance and longevity. Road King #1 here

[@dumbcat]

I have a Harley Road King and a newer liter sport bike. I can't remember the last time I rode the sport bike. The Harley is just so much more FUN to ride. It's not quick but it has torque that will knock you back in your seat. It's not fast but it's plenty fast enough. It's not considered a cornering bike but I have taken corners at pretty hairy speeds. At slower speeds the Harley is far more enjoyable than my sport bike. 90% of motorcycle riding is done on streets where you can't really cut lose. So the Road King is fun 90% of the time and a little frustrating about 10% of the time. On the other hand, my beefy liter sport bike is thrilling 10% of the time and frustrating 90% of the time. Plus the Road King is far more comfortable and practical. It can do two up all day long and pack a lot of gear.

[@nathanyoung4304]

I have a 2015 Fat Boy Lo but my next one will be a Road King Special. Good review.

[@gghostrrider]

I enjoyed the review but feel there was a contradiction. You say typical RK riders will not need ABS, but if you're high siding in turns it sounds like "more aggressive" riding that could benefit from ABS. Perhaps you don't consider this type riding "typical" of RK riders. I just can't see a reason not to have ABS.

[@wardo5415]

Very good review Lemmy!

[@patrickcrowe5106]

Great leaf blower! ;) Thanks for this and many other reviews, Lemmy! I can always count on your commentary to be straight forward and honest! Cheers!

[@erosthespacesoldier1712]

Excellent review... I like how you start it off! I like all bikes, but let's face it, we don't buy HD because they're the best at anything! we buy them because of what they are and represent... and they just look great!

[@derelicts9503]

4:41 oh come on, that was beautiful :D

[@frednouvertne4216]

Once the brake pads bed in, HD brakes are excellent.

[@lesthiele7645]

Hello all at RevZilla, I would like to say I enjoy all your reviews, I have always had a desired to own a HD, but due to cost restraints, I am unable to own one, but keep going strong with your reviews, are you able to put any light on a article I have read on the 'net' that the SFPD maybe going away from HD's. Cheers, Les

[@RevZilla]

We don't have any inside information on the SFPD, but with increased competition in the police bike space, expect more municipalities across the country to consider police bikes other than Harley-Davidson. -DrewZilla

[@Riconeeeeeeect]

so..in the year 2016 would you recommend a non-abs car??? why recommend a non-abs bike?

[@joshuaholmes7929]

because you still have to work both the front and back brake on a bike

[@davevisse]

Enjoyed the video. I'm not sure if it's the great work HD has done in bike improvement, or if it's because I turned 50 this year, but all the sudden that new 107 has me the HD Wants!

I really liked the Zombie reference that was great man . And I do have to agree that my first choice would be Harley Davidson. got my first Harley back in 1976 It was a 1975 Freight train . I believe it was a FXL model . Love your channel . Please keep up the good work.

I think it's a wonderful thing that Indian is back, as the brand represents a place in the market that was lacking, and I love that they are giving Harley some competition. But am I, for a minute, fooled into think it's the same Indian that went belly-up long before I was born? Not a chance.

What? One eye hanging out and no fingers?

I second the "nice review" comments. I'd like to know how the bike does when riding at sustained higher speeds. Can any of the riders here comment on riding the M8 Road King in states where the posted speed is 80 MPH or what we used to have in Montana "Safe and Reasonable Speed"? In other words, sustaining 85 - 95 mph?

Nice opening shots.

I was lucky growing up with a Dad who had a garage full of bikes. I had a honda QA 50 at 4. Raced motocross growing up. Swore I would never ride a Harley, grew up liking Triumphs. My Dad who just turned 80 told me to pick out a bike in the garage and I could have it. The choice BMW 1200, Ducatti 1200, Harley 2013 Road King. So I jumped on the Ducatti first and road it. Then the BMW. Now in my mind before the ride I already knew I wanted the Ducatti. Yet I liked the BMW even better after riding it. Told my Dad I think I will take the BMW. He said will you havent even rode the Harley. I laughed and said nah thats not me. He said will jump on it and take it for a ride. I am 6'2" 220. So I take it for a ride. I didnt come back for a couple hours, I was in love. Hated Harleys all my life, then I rode one. Boy was I wrong. Love the Road King, so comfortable, I think it handles great and I am used to motocross bikes. How lucky I am to have the coolest Dad in the World

what really ticks me off about Harley is that they build their bikes for short people and all us tall people like myself are pretty much screwed and have to make a whole bunch of adjustments to the bike just to be somewhat comfortable. I have a 2015 Road Glide Special that I had to get a new seat for take the pad off the rear brake pedal just to get an inch of clearance and I changed the handlebars which as you know is not cheap. And it is still lacking.

Great review. I love watching your review and love zevzilla. I just went from a 11 deluxe to a 17 Street Glide Special (in sparkle purple) and love the new engine and suspension. My hubby rides a 02 roadking classic which he loves since we do long distance rides it has been all over the country. I love having GPS (I have NO sense of direction) and a radio which is why I went with a street glide BUT I love the styling of a roadking.

Lemmy your hair is awesome. I love watching your reviews bro your are so honest about everything. thanks bro

[@ctscantechnologist]

I miss my 2014 FLHR that I bought last year. It was alot like driving a 57 Chevrolet but with modern day dependability. I'm eyeballing to get into a new Road glide or a road king since my 14 FLHR was stolen.

I feel comparing a Harley and a BMW , are like comparing apples to oranges . I have nothing against Harley's , I used to own one . I currently own a 2016 a K 1600 GT . Their is no comparison , other than they both have two wheels . I may buy a Harley down the road when performance doesn't matter to me . Great video though , I like the fact that you seem to be very honest in your review .

[@tencz57]

Very good and Honest review . Even a shout out to another motorcycle brand (Springfield) . Talks of the good and even points out the bad .!!

I'm a subscriber, & it's because you earn it EVERY vid. I have an 05 RoadKing Poice Interceptor. I just turned 16k on it, so it's a spring chick. It NEEDS cruise control. The dealership told me over $1000, or a throttle lock. No on the lock, but is that price reasonable?

[@robsylvia6546]

Truly the best reviews...period. I wonder if you'd do the Vaquero?
