When the original Harley-Davidson® Road King® motorcycle was introduced in 1994, it didn’t take long for it to obtain iconic status.

Its heritage goes all the way back to the original 1965 Electra Glide® model. It may look like a timeless boulevard cruiser, but it is also a fully equipped, long-distance tourer.

The Road King® model features a detachable windshield, an air-adjustable touring rear suspension, and a comfortable seating position – just what rider and passenger demand for long-distance comfort. Spacious, injectionmolded saddlebags are standard, making it easy to pack for whatever lies ahead. The new, standard 1690 cc Twin Cam 103™ engine and 6-Speed Cruise Drive® transmission provide power and smoothness, and features an integrated oil cooler. The Security Package Option bundles an anti-lock braking system and Harley-Davidson® Smart Security system for greater value, making it easier to upgrade your ride straight from the factory.

The innovative Harley-Davidson® Touring chassis is based on a single-spar, rigid backbone frame and a stout swingarm developed to withstand the demands of long-haul touring riders and today's powerful engines.

Touring Models: The Legend Rolls On

Harley-Davidson® Touring models are powered by a Twin Cam 103TM engine with Automatic Compression Release and an integrated oil cooler. Producing 102 ft. lbs. of peak torque at 3500 rpm, the Twin Cam 103TM engine provides an outstanding performance around town and on the open road. All Touring models also feature the 6-Speed Cruise DriveTM transmission, 41.3 mm telescopic front forks, air-adjustable rear shocks and Isolated Drive System for smooth power delivery.

The Harley-Davidson® Touring chassis has a single-spar, rigid-backbone frame and two-piece swingarm designed to deliver responsive manoeuvrability and long-haul durability. Chassis geometry and suspension are calibrated to deliver confident handling and comfort.

All Touring models except the Ultra Limited will offer a new "tubeless" Chrome Lace Aluminium Wheel option for ease of tire replacement and repair. Six new colours or colour combinations are among the 12 paint options offered within the 2012 Touring model line.
