When the original Harley-Davidson® Road King® motorcycle was introduced in 1994, it didn't take long for it to obtain iconic status with heritage going back to the original 1965 Electra Glide® model. It may look like a timeless boulevard cruiser, but it is also a fully equipped, long-distance tourer. The innovative Harley-Davidson® Touring chassis is based on a single-spar, rigid backbone frame and a stout swingarm developed to withstand the demands of long-haul touring riders and today's powerful engines.
