The 2024 Road King Special is a carryover model, so it’s not too different from its predecessor. The motorcycle sports a Milwaukee-Eight 114 engine, which produces 112 ft-lb of torque at 2,750 RPM. It’s fitted with a larger 6-gallon fuel tank, so the bike can go a long way before you need to make a refueling stop. An important thing to note is that the Road King Special is a heavy bike, weighing a little over 800 lb. Its substantial presence means it feels extremely stable on the road, but this might not be the best choice for you if you’re a beginner.
A highlight of this motorcycle is the one-touch stretched saddlebags on either side that allow you to stow your backpack and other belongings while you’re on the road, helping you ride comfortably. The motorcycle supports a comfortable, upright riding position, and the nine-inch-tall handlebars help you sit tall as well. ABS and electronic linked braking (ELB) are standard on this motorcycle, but a range of optional rider tech is available, too. Priced at $24,999, this Harley-Davidson motorcycle is not inexpensive. However, it might be a worthy investment if you intend to use it as your everyday motorcycle.
