2022 Harley-Davidson Road King: A HIGHWAY LEGEND.

Introducing the 2022 Harley-Davidson Road King…

A stripped-down highway legend with neo-classic chrome styling and modern touring performance. Powered by Milwaukee-Eight 107 engine.

The Hiawatha headlamp and nacelle were born in the ‘60s, but the power of the Milwaukee-Eight® 107 engine on the Road King® brings it all into right now, fast. The Showa® dual-bending valve front suspension and rear emulsion shocks put riders in control for a plush ride. And riders get cast Impeller wheels and one-touch bags. It’s a modern classic.
