I also wasn’t sure if I was large enough. I am 5’6” and 180lbs. It’s heavy, but I am having no issues and so glad I went with a touring frame. Thanks!

I absolutely love the HD Road King Classic. 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 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. In August 2021 I’ll be 58 years young. I’ve been riding since the age of 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 a pensioner now and I don’t think I’ll ever be able to afford one again, but at the very least I had my adventures and journeys. No one can ever take those away. If you own one, enjoy the good times and make lots of memories.

@@joeishere500 By chance, I found my old 2012 HD Road King Classic for sale on cycletrader. It matched the VIN I have on my old registration and it still had some of the modifications I installed. I thought about getting it back but somehow it just didn’t feel right. I felt like buying it would be going backwards, like going back to my ex. I don’t know how I got that emotion but I’m not the type to look back. Every time I’ve traded a motorcycle for a new one, I’ve been it’s only owner. So though I found my old HD Road King Classic, I found myself not wanting to look to the past but to look towards the future. If I get another HD Road King, it will be a current offering. Hopefully, if I do get another, it will be my last ride and it will be something that I can pass on to my son when he’s older. He’s only 9 years old as of this writing. Also, I really want to reproduce a 65 Ford Mustang with him. That’s on the bucket list. But I digress. I can’t say enough good things about the HD Road King. Although I found mine being resold, I can only send it’s new owner good wishes and the hope of more adventures and stories. A part of my soul rides along it without me, and I feel fine with that. Here’s too not looking back.

I was just waiting for this video! I traded in my 2014 SGS for a 2021 RKS and couldn't be happier! After riding my SGS for 7 years I was ready to ditch the fairing and get back to the open space the RKS offered! The look of the RKS made the choice easy between the Standard and Special, I just love that blacked out look and I was lucky enough to get my Special in the "rogue" color Black Jack Metallic! I think there's a few things you overlooked on both Road Kings. With the tech available now with getting great speakers in your helmet; taking calls, navigation info and music is not an issue anymore. Plus you can throw a windshield on the RKS for the long run and then remove when you don't need. With my helmet speakers and a windshield I can get the best of a fairing with out all that mass! Great video!!

After test riding Indians, BMWs, Hondas and the entire Harley line, the Road King Special, in my opinion, is the best riding bike of them all. They do list the pros and cons of the bikes well as if you would be better on a Heritage or the Road King models or something with a fairing. Tough choice but it all depends on you riding style. Another great informative video from Laidlaw and the crew. They are straight up honest and very informative in their reviews. Note: what I found is if you are interested in a Special, don't procrastinate, they sell out quickly.

Lionel here in California (central valley). First for your info, the Road King was introduced in 1994, replacing the FLHS, Electra Glide Sport. I've put on 100s thousands of miles on the Road Kings. Ridden in 38 states on Hog rallies. I have a 2008 with 69,000 and a 2003 with over 207,000 miles. The 03 had 95 inch at 51k and hasn't been touched since. Same starter, stator, rotor, primary chain, and clutch. They are a very good handling touring bike. I just put the tour pak on and go. The RK is nimbler than the rest of the baggers due to the fact that the front end is so much lighter. The Softails don't hold a like to the baggers. Whether it's ride, comfort, or handling. The newest are an improvement though. I liked the video, good info.

Love these comparisons Matt. Hope to see more like this. Street Glide and Road Glide against specials, Street Bob against Softail Standard, Low Rider S against Fat Bob, or even the Heritage against the Sport Glide. For me it would be hard to decide between these two. I like the blacked out look, but I also like the windshield and the extra lighting and longer suspension travel. Probably lean a bit more toward the Standard.

I bought a 2017 RKS ,coming from 08-17 fat bob chassis & 16 Lowrider S..it fit me like a glove..I'm only 5'8 and I felt right at home. Biggest difference was how much better the FL chassis is on the open road , so much better. The wind blast wasnt to noticable until I reached 75-80 but the floor boards are much better than the forward controls on the fat bob,but then again I could tuck into the pocket better because I'm small. Even though the RKS comes pretty "custom" looking from the factory, no Harley rider can resist the bug to make it your own !! Thanks to the parts catalog it's so easy to get what you need , I did axle nut covers,brawler seat,grips,brake pedal, shift pedal,shifter linkage, LEDs all the way around, Stage 2 (admittingly I went with all S&S internals) and Kerker Stouts slipons. Harley head pipes are good so I didnt go full exhaust. Mine was Hot Rod Red Hard Candy Metalflake..best color IMO..loved that bike. Lost it during to Covid job loss. But I'm going to be back on my feet soon and that's the first thing I'm going to replace.

I'm 32 and I would buy the RKS over the RK in a heart beat. It's more my style with the blacked out forks, motor, etc. All it needs it black crash guards on the back and a road warrior fairing to complete it. I would change out the bars as well for some T bars.

Best i can tell RK standard didn’t make the cut for release here in Australia in ‘21. Shame.

Great video as always Matt! I really like the RKS, but I like the wind protection and stereo with the fairing, so I went with a 2020 RGS. Question, how do you get such good exhaust audio for the riding portions of your videos?

Great review guys. Love both the standard and special but at 5.5 tall I am best sticking with my Softail Low Rider. Thanks guys.

Hi guys, I was really really sold on purchasing a new fatboy, but after seeing this I'm back at the beginning again. Seems like for similar money you get more for the money with a road king over the fatboy

Only Matt could make a road king look small. 😂

Hey how much for a laidlaw garage shirt that Matt wears on his reviews with all the patches in that location I think it looks great and with the patch layout Would most likely be considered safety wear and abrasion resistant !

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good detachable windshield for the Road king special?
