Default 2020 Road King

It had been quite awhile since I was last in a dealership. I probably shouldn't have stopped yesterday, because I saw this bike. It is working on me. Every Harley I have owned has been black, but I was impressed with the Billiard Red. Maybe it is time for me to branch out!

Great looking bike, the color is nice and branching out is a good thing sometimes. Good luck with your decision. The Road King is a fun bike.

The Road King IS an awesome bike. There is certainly nothing wrong with branching out. Although you'll love that 107 M8, just keep in mind that the Billiard Red won't be quite as fast as the Vivid Black. (lol)

I am not a stranger to RKs.

I had a very nice 2002


And a very nice 2011. At this point I can't figure out why I got traded either one of them. Great bikes - both!

Loved my black '15 RK...Good to see you're willing to branch out, and if that mantra fails remember that "self-care is not self-ish"

Post some pics when your new RK makes it home!!

If that bike really calls you, then jump on it, and hang on for dear life, because it's call will only get louder.
My bike called my name so loud it hurt my ears, I tried to resist, but I could still hear it over a hundred miles away, and with my ear plugs in. I bought it, and since 2007 I have only seen two bike that I liked almost as much as my old Road King.

I stopped by the dealer to get a part for my ‘07 Electra Glide. The billiard red got me too.



Got it 2/2 and need to take it for its 1000 mile service.
