2013 Harley-Davidson Motorcycle
For 2013, Harley-Davidson returns with its Road King, the iconic touring bike that delivers the styling of the original 1965 Electra Glide.
The FLHR remains relatively the same as last year’s model, with the biggest changes being color choices and the addition of the 110th Anniversary Edition.
The anniversary edition includes a unique Anniversary Vintage Bronze/Anniversary Vintage Black paint scheme, solid bronze 110th Anniversary tank medallions, solid bronze air cleaner cover trim ring, chrome-plated timer cover with cloisonné insert, chrome-plated derby cover with forged solid bronze trim ring, serialization badge, cruise control, Security Package (ABS + Security), and Contrast Chrome, 28-Spoke Cast Wheels.
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.
Last year, Harley replaced the 96ci engine with the more powerful 103ci engine with an integrated oil cooler and 6-Speed Cruise Drive transmission.
