The Harley-Davidson Road King Special of the 2025 model year combines classic design with modern performance and is aimed at drivers who already appreciate both style and performance from the basement.
The Road King Special impresses with its black design that ranges from the front to exhaust. The stretched saddlebags fit seamlessly into the silhouette and offer additional storage space. The mini-APE driver ensures an upright and sovereign seating position, which can be individually adjusted.
The tank mounted analogous speedometer with nostalgic flair clearly keeps the cockpit and directs the focus on the street. The classic road king look is supplemented by the striking headlight cladding with light LED lighting , which ensures optimal view during night trips.

My personal impression
The Road King Special 2025 impresses with its mixture of traditional Harley Davidson style and contemporary technology. The black finish gives her a cool elegance that we mostly like. It is the last with the proven fittings and the 114 CI engine (1868cccm ³ ), a very powerful engine for daily use as well as for longer tours. For me, it is the perfect choice for drivers who value aesthetics and touring suitability. It has the free boards, which gives you a very special feeling when relaxed cruising.
In addition, she has cruise control (cruise control), which really means a cozy driving. She will be the last of her kind, who would like to call something new in old style his own will have to make decisions slowly, I do not assume that she will be in the program in 2026, which is only a guess.
