Harley-Davidson Introduces a Sleek Road King for a New Generation of Riders

Last year Harley-Davidson revealed its new Milwaukee-Eight engine for its Road King standard and Classic models, and now the iconic American motorcycle giant has unleashed a new model in that lineup: the Road King Special.

Built on the same base and using the same new Milwaukee-Eight powerplant, the Road King Special boasts larger wheels, bigger bags and, potentially, a murdered-out aesthetic unique for Harley.

The Road King Special is the first Harley to use the Milwaukee-Eight engine with black casings, instead of the traditional polished chrome typically associated with the brand’s appeal. Other changes, such as the larger sweeping bags and taller wheels, give the Special a slightly more modern look, augmenting the shadowed vibe of the bike.

The Road King Special comes in four color options: Vivid Black, Charcoal Denim, Olive Gold, and Hard Candy Custom Hot Rod Red Flake. The black starts at $21,999, with the denim and olive gold options costing an additional $450. The Hard Candy Custom Hot Rod Red Flake starts at $24,399.
