Harley-Davidson Touring Road King FLHR 2017

The classic one with the instrument unit on the tank, a thick seat decorated with rivets, panniers and a high windshield. Personally, I like the Road King more in the Classic version, but I would remove the windshield. Suddenly it was quite unusual to have only the wind and engine sound in my ears without a radio. The sound system can be retrofitted, but somehow it doesn't fit the essence of this model. For me, it best expressed the America feeling, even though I preferred other bikes purely in terms of looks. The Road King called for relaxation and deceleration, while its 107 ci engine demonstrated superior dominance.
