The 2022 Harley Davidson Road King Special: Oh So Special!
Contents
What happens when you take all the old-school cool bits off a Road King? Murder it out leaving not a single bit of chrome and change the saddlebags out for larger and sleeker models? You have yourself an all-American bike that is called the Harley Davidson Road King Special.
All the specials in the 2022 Harley Davidson lineup benefit from the added power of the Milwaukee-Eight® 114 engine, putting out 100 HP and 119 lbs-ft of torque. Harley Davidson treats the Road King Special to the full blackout treatment. Powertrain covers, mufflers, headlamp nacelle, and fork, plus many of the smaller components, were touched. The Daymaker LED headlamp, stretched saddlebags, and Prodigy wheels complete the Special treatment.
3 Color choices for the 2022 Harley Davidson Road King Special: Mineral Green Denim, Midnight Crimson, and Vivid Black.
