The Road King Standard is one of the most iconic motorcycles Harley Davidson has ever built. The Road King Standard embodies what a Harley Davidson should look like in its purest form.

I have a 2021 also, and they are more comfortable in the suspension than all the other touring bikes, it eats up highway miles much better. It's Harleys best. I'm not into sound systems and bologna, when I ride I ride to disconnect, not to listen to songs I heard a thousand times. I put a solo seat on mine so hags don't ask for rides.

Beauty of a bike mate. I will buy myself a Roadking as a retirement present to myself. Personaly, I've had enough Black bikes in my lifetime (I'm 62), so I will pay the dollars for the two tone. Midnight crimson with stone washed white pearl really appeals to me. Unfortunately in Australia, we may not get the RK standard until next year which really sucks!! I will be patient because the RK is my dream bike and in 47 years of riding, I have never entertained the thought of owning a Harley, EXCEPT for the RK. Will keep my Vstrom 1000 as it allows me to have some off road fun, but the RK will certainly be my full on touring machine. Thanks for the video mate, thoroughly enjoyed it. Greetings from Oz, and subbed. Ride safe brother.

I love Road Kings...I have one...I also love chrome...however, after several decades of riding, black is my least favorite color for a motorcycle...don't get me wrong, black & chrome is a classic combo that'll never go out of style & one of my current bikes is black & chrome, (not my Road King though), but I also feel it's been done to death...biggest, most popular color for a motorcycle is black...it dominates every motorcycle event I've ever been to...I've never gotten to order a brand new bike, but if I did, it wouldn't be black...that being said, that's an awesome, shiny new Road King! Awesome bikes no matter what color you choose...👌🏿😎👍🏿Also, I bought a 15" Memphis Shades windshield for my Road King, much better than that clear billboard they put on them from the factory...
