I think the RK is the most versatile bike in Harleys entire inventory. You can slap a screen on it and use it as a long distance touring bike, soon as you get to your destination and you pull it off and boom you have yourself a bar hopper. THey are super low to the ground but still seem to handle fantastic. THe power thing, you slap a cam in it and its a BEAST. If you could only have 1 bike, I think that the King is absolutely the one that literally can fill pretty much ANY want that you have...its literally a jack of all trades.
Bloody good points mate, I agree with you. It's definitely in my top 3 bikes now ! Yeah I imagine once it's cammed and tuned etc would go bloody awesome, but I compare most bikes in there stock form haha. Jack of all trades !!! Love that mate, you made some awesome points. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Oh that's bloody awesome, what do you have now mate ? Such a fun and comfortable bike to ride that's for sure. Thanks mate. Appreciate the kind words and thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
@@Gnarly_Harley You bet cha! I just found your channel on my recommended page. New subscriber! Right now I have a 22 Low Rider ST and a 23 Road Glide Special 120th Anv Edtion. Keep up the great work!
@TyFromTennessee oh that's awesome, youtube finally doing its job hahaha. Thanks for subscribing ! Oh wow mate !!!! 2 perfect bloody choices, those 2 are also in my top bikes I'd like to own. You've got it sorted mate very nice
The Road King Special has always been my favorite HD but gets no love. I have owned Street Glides, Road Glides, Softails and more. To me the Road King Special is their best offering. Just yesterday I test road the new CVO performance bagger and it was great but I also test road the RKS the same day. If all of that nonsense on the CVO is something you are wiling to pay for then great but meh for me. The Road King felt faster, better torque, better front end feel, quick steering and just lighter and more flickable. What I love about the RKS is that you can add the wind splitter wind shield which gives you just as good of wind protection and better visibility. We ride 4 hours to the tail of the dragon, grab a room at the Iron Horse lodge and ride that area for days. To be able to remove the windshield and go open air is like having a convertible. Street Glides/Road Glides are great but man what a difference in feel and fun with the RKS. I am picking up a RKS today and selling my 22 SG ST.
Oh wow thanks for the feedback mate, I really do love how the RK handles and performs aswell. Definitely in my top 3. I'm yet to try out the CVO ST but I'm hoping to get a good experience. I do agree that less is more I hate technology at the best of times haha. Congrats on the new RKS and thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Hi mate, I’m home with a little bit of damage getting better but the best thing about it is that I can see your video straight off the bat I’looking forward to it even even having a beverage while I’m watching it this is great
Abit of damage !? What happend mate, hope everything is all good. Well I'm glad you enjoy watching my vlogs, I appreciate the support as always! Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
@@Gnarly_Harley didn’t come off the bike mate. I’m sorry sure I was trying to be at the good Samaritan and a bit me on the arse or should I say the left knee? Big time? All good? I’m still doing it again. That’s what you do for family cheers mate.
Great review Matt, the RK Special is the coolest tourer especially in black. The weight is definitely there, but excellent on the long rides. The right cam and exhaust wakes them up heaps. Stay Safe bro, keep the reviews coming, love watching 👊😎👊
Cheers mate, definitely agree with you on it being the coolest tourer. it has everything you need and nothing you don't ! I could see myself comfortably stacking the kms, oh for sure! I imagine it's way better with a cam and a nice tune 👌 Cheers mate, thanks for the support 🧡 🖤 🤙
Hello Matt! The Road King.... that's the motorbike Danny Hayes rides. This looks like an awesome motorbike! It does look bloody beautiful. I looked up the "big" things close to you. Would like to see you ride to the TreeTopChallenge and go down the zip lines! You would have a great time, eh? Keep up with your vlogs Matt!!! Be waiting for your next one! John...
That's bloody right mate, conquering the gib River road on it is incredible haha. What a wild unit ! It was definitely an awesome bike to ride. It is now in my top 3 harleys I'd own. Oh that would be bloody awesome to go there. Maybe one day ! Thanks for all the support John 🙏
I have the same bike! I do have the SE Streetcanons and Diag4Bike tune on it. I changed the handlebar myself for a 14" ape and put on the Kahuna heated grips the same moment! Further , rear crashbars and streamliner highway pegs. That's it....Oh forget the Freedomshields 20" shield on a "classic type" black mountingbracket. I'm 6'2" and must sit out of the wind. Nice bike dude!🤘🏽
Hell yeah!!! Bloody beautiful bike and sounds like you've got all the right mods too. Awesome to hear feed back from a fellow tall person haha. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Another great review mate love the Road King haven't ridden one yet I think it would be my next bike bike if it ever becomes possible it dose look Awesome.
Cheers mate, appreciate the support as always. Good choice mate ! It's definitely in my tip 3 bikes I'd probably own now. Bloody awesome all rounder. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Hahaha cheers mate !! Really appreciate that hey. Both are bloody awesome options, although the street glide already comes with the wind protection! Thanks you it means alot & thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Your definitely more old school than you think outlawman, I think all these mod cons takes away some of the skills of riding a motocycle me thinks, still always good to see your vlogs mate, see ya next time😎😉😁👌👍🇬🇧
I love the RoadKings. I was bummed when they stopped bringing a chrome version to Aust. then eventually dropped the model. A real shame. I rode a 2022 model with a Screamin’ Eagle 122Ci kit in it and it was a lot of fun for a factory backed and warranty safe upgrade!
Such cool bikes bro ! Definitely in my top 3 now. Yeah that kinda sucks, I've always loved abit of Chrome, more classic look. Yeah I bet once you drop some $ they go hard ! I'd definitely be doing that if I got one haha. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Haha glad you enjoyed the review mate ! I do love doing these reviews it's nice to ride abit of everything. Good choice BTW 😁 Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
I was with a friend on a 2002 road king… he hit the death wobble mid corner and ended up losing his left leg over it. They had to do something about the instability issues of the old design. I don’t like electronics either, but after seeing that happen to him, I understand changes needed to be made.
Oh holy cow, I'm sorry to hear that mate that's bloody wild. Thanks for sharing I really appreciate the insite, I learn something new every day. Definitely makes sense then mate, thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
From standard the 117 Cubic inch has roughly 15hp more. But with abit of work the 114 would be an animal anyway. But usually I try to compare the bikes in there stock form. From riding 117 and the 114 it is definitely a noticeable difference in my opinion. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Ive got a 114 in my Street Glide 2020. It has taken me all the way to Darwin coming back down the centre of Australia. Those engines can easily sit cruising all day. Up in NT can sit on $140 consistently and it has ample power. All the Teco safety stuff you wont even know when its in use. Mine was standard and we cracked 1000km a day for 3 days and they were comfy but the ass got use to it 😀
Thank you for finally getting on this, I have a street bob but want to switch to the road king. Hopefully sooner than later…. Isn’t that what we all say
No worries at all mate, sorry it took so long haha. Had to wait for a demo to come in. Mate you definitely won't regret the comfort and handling bloody awesome could stack the kms very easily ! Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Bin Chicken. I'm placing my kids in there. They can come for a ride, lol. I do like the Road King, would like more power. However can spend the money to do that. I'd rather control my braking in certain situations for sure. Great review!!
She is good looking. I had one all black I think it was a 09. Bought it then some guy wanted to buy it. So I sold it and bought my New Tri Glide in 2021.
I love the Road King but I would like to see them equipped with the spot lights up front like they used to be. Also, imo, the Road King Classic was the most beautiful iteration of the RK lineup. They need to bring back the idea of variety in the Road King family and make LED lighting standard all the way around the bike.
Good point mate, I did love the classic look with the extra lights !!! Maybe a RK Classic Special or something... would be pretty damn cool ! Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
That's awesome to hear mate !!! Definitely seem like great bikes, I've seen what some other youtubers have put theirs through haha. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Hi again mate just finished watching the review after a short pause but I’m wondering if the brake tech actually kicked in through the twisties or even though traction control for lack of a better term you spoke about the hi tech did you actually experience it? Just wondering.
Hey mate, look it did feel different to most bikes but I couldn't tell what the difference was. I'd say I didn't notice it. I felt super confident and the bike had heaps more in it. In saying that mate the tyres weren't even scrubbed in so I was being abit soft haha.
Wouldnt mind that tank on my Fat Bob.. The linking brakes are also on some of the BMW bikes too.. There is an Australian company that does Cruise Controls for your Harley too, but thats about $1200, cheaper on the 2018 Fat Bob coz you just change the controls on the left side and enable Cruise in the ECM ... You always go near my place on all the bikes LOL .. Good Vid mate
Bloody oath mate, really good size tank ! Yeah I'm still unsure how I feel about it... I did look that up and see some of them kits but damn !!!! $$$$$ aren't they haha. I'll have to get myself one of them throttle locks for now 🤣🤣 Oh true ! Haha it's a nice quiet spot for good test runs lol. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Oh true !!! Bloody oath mate, good choice 😉 the mighty fatbob has never let me down. Down think I could ever sell her. Look... the road king is definitely a great option for stacking up some kms, it would be in my top 3 now for bikes I'd upgrade to. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Great looking bike, but, like you, I'm not sold on all the safety tech, but, I am still going g to test rode one. Looking for a newer bike for long haul trips w the lady, and keeping my 01 Deuce for lil weekend solo trips and around town rippin'. Good review and spot on Katy Perry! Ha. Have a great weekend. 🍻 CHEERS 🍻
Definitely is an awesome looking bike, look to be fair it has all that tech but I didn't notice anything off while riding it but still not sold on it either haha. Definitely could do bike kms on it mate so I reakon you'll like it. Handled great too ! Hahaha gotta love some Katy perry mate 😅🤣 cheers mate you too, thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Definitely love the classic look aswell mate ! Good bloody choice. Ahh yep awesome, my mrs loves the sundowner aswell haha. Standard seats are the devil apparently 🤣 thanks for watching 🧡🖤🤙
Atleast road glide/street glide you can adjust your modes and take away the linked brakes which gives you control,like what are saying you like. But I think Road kings are still an awesome touring bike that are striped down.
Yeah that's some very good points mate I didn't think of that. Would be good being able to turn it off and on at your control still. It was still a bloody amazing bike, absolutely loved it no doubt ! That's exactly right bro, thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Haha, I burnt my finger on the exhaust once and I haven't gotten around to getting some new gloves... whoops 🤣 I wasn't the one getting dragged, that was Aaron from resurgence gear ! My balls aren't as bug as his hahaha
I sold the RK and the wife walked out and said to me, I guess your going to see The HD shop right, I said yes they have a new Silver Road Glide I am going to buy. She said I would ride if you had three wheels? So the next day I went to buy a New Tri Glide. So I bought a Ebike that goes almost 50 and I am having a blast with my Motor Goat V3.
Oh wow haha that's great mate, so I'm guessing she's always on the back on the tri glide now !? That's awesome, e bikes are becoming massive over here now too. Crazy how fast they go !
Bin chicken lol I’ll give 10/10 for looks on the RK 👌👌😍 it does sound pretty sweet too. Silly question but do the new Harley’s still have that loud clunk when you click into 1st gear? I can’t hear it in the video so probably not.
Hahaha cheers mate, definitely love the look of the road king too. Not really no, They are 100x better put it that way haha. Especially compared to mine 🤣 mine makes a big clunk 😅 Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤
Keen to do the heritage, I'll see if I can get hold of one mate. Usually have to wait for them to have a demo but I'll double check if they do. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
I was in love with this bike until I rode it. It was really smooth, but dare I say it was TOO smooth for my taste? Think I might go with a softail instead for now lol
It's weird isn't it haha, not quite like to twin cams abit rougher and rugged 😅🤣 maybe the new technology that I mentioned ? Good choice mate 👌 thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
There’s only one thing I dislike and it’s always been the case, the anemic diameter of the handlebar on this model of bike. Everything is so beefy and then Harley goes and puts a 1” set of bars on this muscular bike
Hahaha yeah that's a very good point mate 😅 they need to be beefed way up ! Basically the same size as the street bob bars 🤣 they do some questionable stuff harley do. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
So all this high tech is probably great, to save the inexperienced who don't know how to ride, from themselves. To me, I believe in natural selection. You should next try to see if you can get an Evo Road King or twin cam to test. No high tech at all. The only downside is lack of power. I myself, have a naked Evo Electra-Glide that for all intent & purpose is a Road King, which I intend to put a 124ci S&S crate motor in. That will give me the power of a new one. It's still lighter than a Street-Glide, Road-Glide & Electra-Glide. The good thing about the extra weight is less buffeting when passing trucks etc, or hitting pot-holes etc. But they are still very manoeuvrable & have a great lean angle I've said it once, I'll say it a thousand times, Roadking: everything you need, nothing you don't. You can fit 2 babies into the panniers! One on each side!! Great for those with twins!! Baby apes are okay, but I would prefer buckhorns. Told you you would love a Road King! Long live the King!!
Yeah that's a very good point mate, and to be fair I didn't notice any of it while riding so who knows... Yeah that's awesome mate, sounds like an absolute weapon you're building. Love that mate, you kit the nail on the head with the road king, I totally agree !!!! Hahaha plenty of room for the babies mate. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Yeah mate, it's abit weird... harley definitely do some questionable things that's for sure ! Also the glides have all the fairing and other tech screens etc... so where is the money in the king ? Price doesn't add up ! Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙

Bin chicken lol I’ll give 10/10 for looks on the RK 👌👌😍 it does sound pretty sweet too.
Silly question but do the new Harley’s still have that loud clunk when you click into 1st gear? I can’t hear it in the video so probably not.
Hahaha cheers mate, definitely love the look of the road king too.
Not really no, They are 100x better put it that way haha. Especially compared to mine 🤣 mine makes a big clunk 😅
Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤
Can you do a review on the 2024 heritage classic straight after the road king. Keen to see your thoughts as a comparison. Cheers.
Keen to do the heritage, I'll see if I can get hold of one mate. Usually have to wait for them to have a demo but I'll double check if they do. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
What an amazing bike, nice review mate. Just need the $45k to go and get one :))))
Bloody oath !!! Would love one myself but holy demon... who has 45k to spend 🤣 thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
I dont know how I feel about the special. I like the chrome classic look. I would go for the electraglide if it wasnt limited edition.
Yeah it's abit of a shame they took the chrome away, I do love abit of chrome 😅 that's a good point mate. thanks for watching 🧡🖤🤙

@@Pompomgrenade that went over my head 😅 what do you mean by that sorry mate ?
thanks for watching 🧡🖤🤙
I was in love with this bike until I rode it. It was really smooth, but dare I say it was TOO smooth for my taste? Think I might go with a softail instead for now lol
It's weird isn't it haha, not quite like to twin cams abit rougher and rugged 😅🤣 maybe the new technology that I mentioned ?
Good choice mate 👌 thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
love it
Such an awesome bike. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
You can't be King of the road without a RoadKing

Are you serious !? That's crazy 😅🤣

Thanks for watching 🧡🖤🤙
There’s only one thing I dislike and it’s always been the case, the anemic diameter of the handlebar on this model of bike. Everything is so beefy and then Harley goes and puts a 1” set of bars on this muscular bike
Hahaha yeah that's a very good point mate 😅 they need to be beefed way up ! Basically the same size as the street bob bars 🤣 they do some questionable stuff harley do. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Bin chicken 🐔 lol Mate they don’t call that bike the King for no reason 😎🤩
Haha cheers mate, every comment helps. That's exactly right Bert!!! King of the bloody road they are. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙

Haha hey mate, sorry I've been sick as a dog and am a busy man lately
@@Gnarly_Harley ur algoods brother get better make ur vlogs thats ya money to.
wow
Bloody awesome bike isn't it, thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
simple is best
Bloody oath mate !!! Less is more sometimes
So all this high tech is probably great, to save the inexperienced who don't know how to ride, from themselves. To me, I believe in natural selection.
You should next try to see if you can get an Evo Road King or twin cam to test. No high tech at all. The only downside is lack of power. I myself, have a naked Evo Electra-Glide that for all intent & purpose is a Road King, which I intend to put a 124ci S&S crate motor in. That will give me the power of a new one. It's still lighter than a Street-Glide, Road-Glide & Electra-Glide. The good thing about the extra weight is less buffeting when passing trucks etc, or hitting pot-holes etc. But they are still very manoeuvrable & have a great lean angle
I've said it once, I'll say it a thousand times, Roadking: everything you need, nothing you don't.
You can fit 2 babies into the panniers! One on each side!! Great for those with twins!!
Baby apes are okay, but I would prefer buckhorns.
Told you you would love a Road King! Long live the King!!
Yeah that's a very good point mate, and to be fair I didn't notice any of it while riding so who knows...
Yeah that's awesome mate, sounds like an absolute weapon you're building.
Love that mate, you kit the nail on the head with the road king, I totally agree !!!!
Hahaha plenty of room for the babies mate. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
long live the King
No screen for me. I'm like the bloke you met - wind in the hair.😅

How do you review a bike that hasn’t changed in 8 years .
Well I've never ridden one before so it was easy for me to do a review and compare it to other models 😁
Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
A big chicken 🐔 lol.
How you doing you down under?
Haha cheers mate ! Life is good mate, definitely can't complain that's for sure. Hope you're doing well. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙

Bin chicken.
@@MrHeath1971 hahaha cheers mate, thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
Complete ripoff…. 24 baggers get 117, roadking keeps 114 and only 1000.00 less…
Yeah mate, it's abit weird... harley definitely do some questionable things that's for sure ! Also the glides have all the fairing and other tech screens etc... so where is the money in the king ? Price doesn't add up !
Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙
