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.
