Step out to the garage and there it is, resting
beneath the flickering light. The Road King® Classic. A machine dripping with
the heritage of the open road. Giant headlamp and nacelle. Wide whitewalls on
laced wheels. Full fenders. Generous floorboards. Detachable windshield.
Tooled leather seat and bags. Just standing there, you feel like you’re on top
of the world. Then, in the saddle you thumb the starter and bring the EFI Twin
Cam 88® powertrain to life. The feeling gets even better. Think ahead to the
smooth ride thanks to a refined chassis and air-adjustable rear suspension.
You’ll make good use of the cruise control. But it will have to wait for
daybreak. For now, put the key back in the pocket, turn off the lights and hit
the hay. Knowing your Road King Classic will be ready to go anytime you are.
 
 
 
 
 
Launched in 1994, the 1340 FLHR
Electra Glide Road King models were based on Harley-Davidson's long-lived
FLHT Electra Glide series of tourers. From 2000, Harley emphasized the Road
King's styling heritage with a huge headlamp in a highly polished nacelle on
the front fork, a feature based on the 1958 FL Duo Glide. The standard Road
King came with lighter, hollow-spoke cast alloy wheels and wire-spoked
wheels available at extra cost. Wire wheels and fuel injection were standard
for the FLHCRI Road King Classic.
 
Harley-Davidson tourers have been
known as some of the most comfortable bikes on the road. The 2000 Road King
is no exception, with its contoured, removable pillion dual seat and Buffalo
handlebars, which are designed to offer a relaxed, upright straight-arm
riding position behind a broad plastic screen.
 
As far as the power unit is
concerned, from 1999 the 80cubic inch (1340cc) Evolution engine that
originally powered the Road King was replaced by a rubber-mounted 1450cc
88Twin Cam engine. This was retained for 2000. Standard fitment was the 40mm
Keihin carburetor. Maintenance-free electronic fuel injection was an option,
although on the Road King Classic it was fitted as standard.
Roll on 2003, Harley-Davidson's
centenary year! What goodies could be in store for the zillions of Harley
fans around the world?
