H-D’s 2010 Touring Road Kind has a number of new key features. It has a tank console, a rubber-mounted Twin Cam 96 Engine, Chrome dual 2-1-2 Exhaust with tapered end caps, full-length floorboards for both driver and passenger, ergonomic handlebar, GTX® Saddlebags, a one-piece, two-up seat, new Helical-cut 5th Gear, a Lexan windshield, and optional TLE sidecar.

HD Road King has two cylinders, in a patented Twin Cam 96® V-twin engine. This is a 4-stroke, air-cooled, 4 valve arrangement, with 2 valves per cylinder in an OHV/Pushrod design. Engine displacement is 1584cc (96”); the engine is fuel-injected using Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection. This system monitors all variables in the fuel/air mixture and delivers precise amounts for optimum fuel efficiency. The starter is electric, with a manual 6-speed Cruise Drive transmission. The primary drive, in the rear wheel, is belt-driven. There is a chain in the engine-transmission.

The Road King has gallon fuel capacity (it takes premium gas) and gets 54 mpg on the highway and 35 mpg in town.

Harley’s specially designed Heel and Toe Shifter comes standard with the Road King. This feature allows the rider to place the feet more comfortably; instead of riding with the toe beneath the controls, the option of using the heel makes long rides easier on the legs and feet. The wheels are made of aluminum and come standard with the Brembo® brake system. This super-efficient Italian disc brake system features a dual disc with a diameter of 11.5 inches and 4 fixed pistons in the front wheel, and a similar design in the rear, with a slightly larger brake rotor width. This provides a greater control and superior stopping power. Suspension is a telescopic fork in front and a twin-sided swing arm with two air-adjustable shocks in the rear. There is also a rear adjustable rebound damping function.

Rider uses a one-piece leather seat (with room for two) with a seat height of 27.3 inches making it easy to flat foot when stopped. The tank-mounted indicator array features digital instrumentation, a clock, trip odometer speedometer, fuel level warning gauge, and service reminder.

Side cases, storage, helmet storage, all come standard. Harley-Davidson provides a plethora of accessories; so, you can choose your base bike, and then customize it to suit your needs.
