Harley-Davidson FLHR FLHRI Road King reviews

Best bike I ever road I have had 3 Roadglide s won't buy anything else . No vibration in the front ends as the fairing is frame mounted. Handles great for a cruiser. High 40's gas mileage per gallon. Just a solid cruiser and lone the sound compared to other bikes. Show less

This is an outstanding touring model that is comfortable on long rides and short ones. I have owned multiple Harley models (Road glide, Fatboy, Softail deluxe) and this is my favorite. It feels great and sounds spectacular with custom rhinehart pipes, a heavy breather air flow and a Tuner. The windshield provides more than enough air-flow protection to make each ride pleasant if you so choose. Show less

I have logged over 350,000 miles "behind the bars" on 29 different motorcycles since the summer of '61. Hoggy, my beloved 2019 Harley Road King, was bike number 28. When it comes to anything motorcycle, buying, touring, camping, fixing, restoring and selling I really do kinda- sorta, know what I'm talking about. When I was sales manager for a motorcycle company in Portland, Oregon I sold, took in trade and test rode probably 300 bikes; accordingly, you can trust my experience. What I like most about my 2019 Road King is really everything. First off, its the handling and the ride. Hoggy is my 3rd Road King and my 5th Harley and I must say that I don't know what they did to the '19 but it handles like a sport bike. Its is so smooth and corners so much better than any Harley I have owned. When I bought the bike in late 2018 I could still put in a 400-500 mile day (and did). The bike inhales pavement and seems to make short of long distances. The Road King does not have a big hunk of plastic hanging off the front end making it lighter up there for quicker handling. The Road King is the real Harley, its what other models really come from. Its what the cops use almost everywhere except on the west coast. And so secondly, I'd say it looks like a Harley. The 2 fog lights around the huge headlight and the classic windshield give it that l940's - 50's look: you know: Marilyn Monroe, Coca-cola, rock Show less

We have been trying to actually talk to the person that has the spike for sale and he will message me via email, but will not call me won’t give me his number. My husband was ready to fly out there next weekend and buy it but you can’t get the person to call, so who knows it’s probably a scam! They should have to leave their name and number if they’re gonna post on here Show less

Exhaust is Supertrapp open head pipe. No catalytic converter. Mufflers are Kerker with special ordered chrome endcaps Intake is stock housing with oversize K Show less

This is the best touring bike I have ever had. Since the farring is attached to the frame and the steering turns directly to the front wheel without the farring movement, it slices through the wind. You can pass a semi at 75 mph and you don’t get blown around. Total different feel than my previous Ultra Classic. Best suspension it really absorbs the bumps. Show less

Although, the road glide custom is agile, partly due to the low center of gravity this is a 800 pound gorilla of a motorcycle!! Handles very well. Very smooth and reliable with all right upgrades you’ll be sure to have a pleasant experience every time. Very quick and nimble. Easy on the mind, body and soul. Show less

I have had no mechanical issues, suspension is set for the "perfect ride," and the quick response, when hitting the throttle is a "life saver!" I've got "no complaints." I've been riding for 50 years and "The Nightrain is the best Motorcycle I have owned! Bar none!! I truly, don't understand why Harley-Davidson discontinued this model. Show less

Highlight of owning this MC was our trip on RT 66 from St Louis, MO to Santa Monica, CA. Rode the bike one way and shipped back. Next highlight was trip to Sturgis, did not ride but trailered the bike. Loved riding in the GA and NC mountains and attending most of the bike weeks throughout the SE. All service was performed by HD dealers and have receipts for all work. Good thing about Harley Davidson dealers is you get priority for service while traveling. Installed cruise control for the RT 66 trip and also attachment for heated clothing and gloves. this all stays with the bike. Installed some chrome on bike. Riding with groups is safer and desirable. Most of my riding buddies have retired and no longer ride, thus the reason for selling the bike. Show less

I purchased this bike used. I have owned it for about 1 1/2 yrs. Up until about 4 yrs ago, I had never owned a Harley. I had mostly Honda’s Kawasaki’s and BMW’S for the past 50 yrs or so. I went to a Harley dealer just to look and wound up purchasing a used Limited. This was a very powerful and comfortable bike. This bike actually seemed more comfortable than my BMW. The BMW is awesome but the seats never seem real comfortable for me and for me, I have to go for an aftermarket seat. Since owning the used Limited, I had switched around with several Harley’s. I had a sport Glide a Street Glide and a Road Glide. I loved them all but when I found the Road King I took it for a ride and just had to have it. It is a lot easier to handle than the Road Glide or Limited. The Road Glide is an awesome bike but lives better on the highway on long rides. The Road King on the other hand is a great touring bike as well as easier to handle in town. It is quick and powerful but comfortable and balanced quite well. The Road King for me is the best of both worlds meaning that it handles great in city traffic but can give you an awesome touring ride all day long without any sacrifices. The only thing I miss on the Road King is a radio but I have solved that by getting a helmet with Bluetooth speakers and a radio but I normally Bluetooth my phone to my helmet and listen to Pandora or Amazon Music. I hope this helps anyone looking for a real comfortable and quite easy to ride Harley. Show less
