2012 Harley-Davidson Motorcycle
Since its inception on the American motorcycle market in 1994, the Harley-Davidson Road King has remained true to its design – provide a rider with the ultimate downtown cruiser, yet capable of long-distance touring, all with a iconic flare that dates back to the original 1965 Electra Glide.
Harley continues this status for the Road King in 2012, but now offers a bit more power.
