2009 Harley Davidson Road King Touring Review: History, Engine, Wheels, Performance, and Styling

2009-10-03T00:22:16Z

The Harley Davidson Road King first hit the road in 1994 as a touring bike with classic 50's styling, and it still looks great today. The 2009 Harley Davidson Road King is the newest edition in a line of classic touring bikes that includes the 2009 Harley Davidson Road King Classic, the Electra Glide and the Electra Glide Ultra Classic. Designed to be a good alternative to riders wanting a top quality touring bike, but don't want to ride a BMW or Japanese distance machine, the 2009 Harley Davidson Road King is as good as any touring bike on the market. Newly designed for 2009, with new space-age materials to improve the strength and overall power to weight ratio, the 2009 Harley Davidson Road King has been re-done from top to bottom to improve all aspects of this classic ride.
Despite having been re-engineered for 2009, the Harley Davidson Road King has the same classic 50's look that Harley riders love to ride, only with a space-age performance. The frame is completely new; they incorporated new space-age materials that are stronger into the design and a new geometry that improves the handling characteristics of this Harley motorcycle and makes the frame stiffer. They removed the 16 inch wheels that appeared on the 2008 model and replaced them with 17 inch wheels for the 2009 model that give the bike a slightly higher profile.

The 2009 Harley Davidson Road King handles much better than the 2008 Harley Davidson Road King, the engine chugs along at 70 mph in overdrive 6th gear, but the ride is smooth and handles well at speed. The fuel mileage was about 52 mpg at an average speed of 50 mph, but decreases to about 40 mph, if you like to ride faster. The 2009 Harley Davidson Road King isn't a quick machine that's easy to maneuver in tight spaces, but just the same it handles much better this year and the changes in technology and materials have made a real difference. The vibration while the motorcycle is idling is reduced significantly due to the new engine mounts that have been incorporated into the 2009 Harley Davidson Road King. Just the same, you can still feel the characteristic heat and power of the engine coming up from below, when you turn the throttle. The paint and finish are outstanding to look at and they really give this classic bike the look Harley riders purchase this bike for. The cable runs are a little ugly to look at though and the brackets are clumsy to work with on the 2009 Harley Davidson Road King.

The 2009 Harley Davidson Road King is a very comfortable bike and still has everything Harley riders loved about previous years, along with new materials and innovations that definitely make the 2009 Harley Davidson Road King, a better motorcycle.

How do you like the new Road King? Ride one? Seen it? Are you considering getting one? What is holding you back? What else would you rather ride?

2009 Harley Davidson Nightster Sportster Review: Engine and Styling

2009-10-03T00:22:15Z

When the Harley Davidson Nightster first debuted in 1957, it projected a strong and rebellious spirit that was born on the gritty dirt tracks and drag strips of a Harley motorcycle era that was just getting its legs under it. The 2009 Harley Davidson Nightster still has the same bad attitude that has endeared the original Nightster to millions of motorcycle fans and still rolls down the highway with the distinctive sound of an American V-twin engine provided by its Evolution V-twin powerplant. The 2009 Harley Davidson Nightster takes the legend of the Sportster into dark alleys, with distinctive black parts designed to catch your eye in the moonlight. Redesigned for 2009 to provide you with an improved Harley Davidson Nightster, designers implemented space age materials and innovative technologies to make the 2009 Harley Davidson Nightster the best Sportster, yet.]]>
The 2009 Harley Davidson Nightster features a number of distinctive black components that have been included with this Harley that give this motorcycle the dark attitude you love. The front forks and clamp, headlight cover, handlebar, all the levers, turn signals, rear belt and front fender guards, and even the air cleaner insert have been blacked out. They added a new medium gray finish with polished and black treatments for the transmission and air-box. A new chrome-cast aluminum slotted disc rear steel wheel that's 4 lbs lighter than last year's wheel and a new 25. 3-inch seat height that's comparable to the XL Sportster 883 Low and an inch lower than the XL Sportster 1200 Low. They added rubber mounts to decrease the characteristic vibration of the engine, a taillight that's integrated into the rear turn signals, a retuned suspension and a low-profile front fender that hugs the front tire for a streamlined custom look.

The 2009 Harley Davidson Nightster has raw soulful styling, a wide Powerband and a flat torque curve for responsive performance that reacts quickly when you turn the throttle. The upgraded suspension includes recalibrated and new damping devices that improve the smoothness of the ride and make the 2009 Harley Davidson Nightster ride like a dream. The clutch reacts smoothly as its quiet helical-cut gears and lightweight dog rings reduced the shift effort and make changing speeds and driving on different types of terrain a pleasure on the 2009 Harley Davidson Nightster. You can see lots of engine as you look at this bike and the black paint contrasts beautifully with the medium gray finish used to highlight the blackness of this motorcycle. The Harley Davidson Nightster was made to be ridden in all seasons and on any surface and it handles beautifully on pavement or dirt.

The 2009 Harley Davidson Nightster is the same old Harley Sportster that's loved and ridden by millions of motorcycle enthusiasts around the world. A dark and gritty motorcycle with an urban feel, the 2009 Nightster still includes elements that first debuted in 1957, only with space age materials and performance.

Upgraded torque and the strong-as-ever V-Twin 1200cc engine make you think of going with a new Sportster? Have one already? How do you like it? Any issues?
