2012 Harley-Davidson FLHRC Road King Classic Review
All the regal long-haul power and comfort of the Road King® with an extra touch of nostalgia
The Road King® Classic model takes the nostalgic look and feel of the Road King a little further with extra details for this road-worthy touring bike, like leather-wrapped saddlebags, nostalgic chrome fuel tank console, tooled metal detailing on the fender, tank, seat and bags, and chrome laced wheels with wide whitewall tires. 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.
Residing beneath all that fine detail is the powerful 1690 cc, Twin Cam 103™ engine with integrated oil cooler, and an Anti-lock
Braking System and a Smart Security System are available as a factory-installed option.
Add in the standard electronic cruise control and the Road King® Classic proves, once again, that no one else can combine a glorious heritage with modern features and technology like Harley-Davidson.
