Harley Davidson Road King Special | An Important And Unique Feature

- Why is the Harley Davidson Road King Special, so Special? A large cruiser motorcycle with lots of luggage space and supreme comfort for touring long distances. However Harley have gotten rid of any wind protection and touring lights upfront.
I believe there is a unique reason to why they have done this. In this video I will go over this very important feeling that contributes to the Road King Special being such a great bike.

Dear Angus! We, your subscribers, have been without their favorite youtuber for WAY too long! You bring sunshine through the clouds for us and we miss you! We hope that it is because of "work related" issues and not because of anything else. You have, many times, related to us that mental health can be helped by riding motorcycles and I know that to be true for me. Please come back to us OR do whatever is best for YOU! Either way, know that we all want the best for you!
Hi, thanks so much for your concern and message.
I am working abroad for the time being and very much enjoying it atm. However I will be back in YT some time in the future, just not too sure when yet!
All the best to you and enjoy the ride
Take care mate! All the best in whatever you do and looking forward for your next video as soon as you’re ready…
@@redangrevivalSo nice to hear! Till that time I will just put your videos on replay 😂.
Cheers and have a great time.
Ps: Marlon, another nice yt channel took a pause of 7 years, people thought he lost his yt password;)
@@Here.there.andaware haha thanks for that I appreciate it 🙌
Echo all of the above ! Enjoy! 😎
You can add a quick release windscreen that comes in clear or smoked out black color. Gives you the option of adding a windscreen for longer rides or taking it off for zooming around town. Great option for this bike.
👍 yes I have heard people mention this. Sounds like a fantastic option.
I would love to try one out some time
True. I have the Memphis Shades medium smoked windshield at the exact height I need, but haven’t even put it on yet. Will put it on when I take a longer trip that will require me to be on the Autostrade longer. Then I will take it off when I’m at my main destination. Next long trip will be to Sardinia or warmer Southern Italy when the weather is cooperative so that may be the time.
Hey Angus! I've been wondering where you've been. It's good to see you and I hope that you'll be back again soon with a nice long review!!!
Hi, yes apologies I have been away working so much. I hope to be back soon enough with a fresh and new review 👍 it has been too long!
Cheers
@@redangrevival2nd this … miss your trips dude … first one I ever found was your first trip to Spain and watched that a couple times . Hope all is well ❤
I used to scoff at Harleys but have a Road King and an old carburated Fat boy now and i love these bikes.
They are so fun, not dynamically the best bikes but that is just not what it is all about! I love riding Harleys.
Cheers
GREAT bikes , on my second king , workhorse , style and adaptable to different scenarios. Timeless
Hi buddy. Just wondering whether you were going to get back to doing the videos. You were definitely one of the best up and coming channels and it would be a shame to give up. 👍🏼
Hi, thanks for getting in touch. I am planning on picking it up again at some point!
Have persuade an old job and it’s keeping me very busy! But YT is still in the plan. All the best to you and the channel 💪
Glad you’re enjoying the ride. Just the open rode and deep growl of the engine…wonderful. It’s a bike that loves to cruise and does it well at any speed. Just rode my RKS up the Italian and French Rivieras and then took the Autostrade back to where I live in Northern Italy…no windshield. Coulda used a windscreen at around 110 kph on the autostrade, but not too bad w/ a full face helmet. Something about the new chassis design and front end seems to push more wind away than my prior gen RK. Perfect for clearing the mind and putting things back into a healthy perspective.
🙌 Thanks I appreciate it. Absolutely loving the ride, nothing like a bit of throttle therapy to feel better!
Wow that sounds like a great trip, I would love to do a long trip on this bike. A screen is good for longer distances but definitely takes away from the involvement.
Cheers and take care
@@redangrevival You may find that the longer distances don’t really affect you much unless they are longer distances at high speeds above 110 kph. At least that’s how it works for me. I also hit the gym on the regular w/ weights so holding on for awhile doesn’t really affect me. I can see how it could be tough if not used to pulling and pushing things in certain ways…takes some getting used to I guess. An interesting thing I noticed was that at certain places I was at speeds greater than 125 kph and didn’t feel much wind. This happens in tunnels as well. Not sure what is going on either with the physics or geography, but it was kind of trippy. Anyway, my perspective is that it’s a motorcycle so some wind is to be expected. I ride the bike to work as much as possible, but can’t wait for the next multi-day trip. Definitely will do the Rivieras again soon…amazing scenery.
great to see you back on the channel, HD's are not my thing but I do understand how people fall for them. I'll have to test-ride one ..
Thanks, it is good to be back for a bit. Just been so busy working etc...
They are certainly not for everyone but I love them. Anything on two wheels is great and Harley's are just so much fun 😎
Cheers
Great to see you out & about, can't beat a decent day on any machine
Thanks it was great to be out 👌 Absolutely and what a machine to do it on!
I can easily understand the many reasons for taking a break from you tube videos. I hope you are riding and getting the full benefit of "wind therapy " without bothering with cameras and commentary. Hope all is well, Red. ❤
Harleys aren't my thing but I still appreciate the styling and sound. I "get" windscreens, to a point, but enormous fairings undo the sense of cool to me. Practical mostly but in a very pocket protecter way.
Thanks I appreciate that 🙌 I will be back soon! Am just so busy working and riding etc…
To be honest I like a windscreen for longer rides, however there is nothing better than feeling the wind in your hair/helmet 😂
Cheers and all the best
HAHAHA! “Pocket protector way.” That’s hilarious! I’m gonna use that w/ all my Streetglide and Roadglide buddies 🤣
❤ Best of both worlds❤👏👏
Best Hd model ever!, the Roadking.
Safe rides mate.🍻🏁
Fantastic bike, absolutely the best of both words!
Thanks and all the best 🙌
Good to see you back on TH-cam. Looking and sounding good too. That's a bike that needs long stretches of open road IMO. Skinny country lanes or busy B roads in the south of England would not bring out the best of it's charm. But in country pub car parks it would be a real crowd puller.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video 👍 Yup the UK roads are definitely not ideal for this sort of bike! However it is still great fun and I just loved the style.
Great to see you back, hope you are in a good place, enjoy watching your content, looking forward to seeing more
Say safe
Thanks so much I appreciate that 🙌 It is good to be back for now. All the best to you and I look forward to making more video's
Welcome back. You seem to like this bike. Good idea to reach out to some one who might be struggling.
Thanks, yup really enjoyed it. It's refreshing to have such a large bike but with no windshield 👍 A great involving cruisers. Cheers and all the best
Great to see you back.😊😊
Thanks, its good to be back
It's a really nice bike ,some people prefer not having the windscreen but still have the bags etc for touring....Welcome back,I thought you had decided to quit Utube....I have moved to a 2023 Streetbob, harley number 6, I still have my Speedmaster but it will be for sale soon.
👍 Very cool, and you can still get some great aftermarket wind screens. No i have just been very busy working abroad.
I hope to be back more often soon. Nice I love the design of the Streetbob. Shame getting rid of Speedmaster but it is always nice to have a change. Cheers
Happy New Year Angus. Not seen any input for a while so hope you are keeping well and that 2024 is another great biking year for you 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Happy New Year to you also, all the best to you. Yes have been very busy working but hope to release some new content soon. Cheers
Phew! Thank goodness, can't wait.@@redangrevival
Hey Angus. Not seen you all year and was wondering if you given up the YouTubing? Your trip through top of Spain got me into motorbike camping and I’ve been loving it ever since and I’ve got addicted to watching others do it. Just thought of you and hoped you were well. Miss that speed master, I swopped mine for a Rocket GT3 and totally regret it, bit too heavy but hey, still loving it. Anyway, hope you well mate 🙏👍👍👍
Where did your hair go! Welcome back did miss you videos and have just booked ferry’s for 2024 for a Portuguese trip following your route.
Haha chopped it all off a while ago! Thanks it's good to be back for a bit. Nice I hope you enjoy the trip, such a stunning route I am very jealous.
Enjoy
Wind screens and navigation and a radio are just 2 tires shy of a Mazda miata 😂
Haha that is true! However even with all of that it is still so much better riding on two wheels! 😎
I think You should try the BMW R18 Roctane cause I think it is the closest competitor to the Road King Special. The whole idea of the road king is that you get a touring bike (frame) with no distractions like on the street glide or a road glide. No satnav no music. Just you, your bike the road ahead and the weather elements you encounter!
👌 I will give it ago, thanks for the recommendation
Angus, long time no TH-cam! Are you ok??
@@Rossi593 Hi, yes apologies! I am well, just been so busy working etc... I will be back onYT as soon as I get the chance. All the best to you
A good point and well put, as ever. Any more cruiser reviews to come?
Thanks 🙌 Unfortunately not for the time being. Am so busy working YT has been out on hold for a bit.
But I will be back ASAP. All the best
I hope your ok ? Haven’t heard from you for quite a while ? Let us know your alright !
Hi, I am good thank you for asking. My apologies I have been very busy working, I hope to make some more videos asap! Cheers
Hi. Hope you are ok. Miss your content. Best wishes. Mike
Hi I am doing well thanks for asking. Just so busy working atm, unfortunately not much time for YT. I hope to be making some videos again soon 👍 All the best to you
Hey Gus - hoping you are ok. All the best for Christmas. Cheers!
Hi, I am good thank you for asking 👍 Just very busy working atm! Hopefully get some videos out in the New Year. All the best to you
Yes, sometimes on paper a bike doesn't make any sense yet it ends up being a keeper. I'm fortunate to have a Triumph Speed Twin and a Harley. Objectively the Triumph is a much better bike in most ways yet I enjoy riding them both. Maybe it comes down to enjoying them for what they are versus obsessing over what they are not?
Hope you are doing well. Take care of yourself and enjoy the ride.
Absolutely it is all about how the bike makes you feel and what you are looking for from it. Each bike has a different character!
Many thanks, and all the best to you
Hi Angus, the Road Kings are everywhere here in Southern California. I rented the old 88 cubic inch version many years ago. The weight was concerning at first. By the end of the day, I didn’t want to give it back. I wonder how the RK compares to the Speedmaster?
Such cool bikes, I actually really enjoyed it. Considerably bigger than the Speedmaster!
Hi. Hey man Scott from the US. I was thinking about your reviews and got back on here and try and catch up. I’m glad you reviewed the FTR-1200 because that bike is built so well and so much fun to ride. They do not get great resale but here is US you can find that bike with less than 4000 miles for 9k. At this price it’s had to look at others. A bike I would really like to see reviewed is the 2024 Husqvarna Vitpilen/Svartpilen 401. They made huge updates to the bike and the quality is amazing KTM engine and parts. This year lower seat, new ABS, brakes moved, new swing arm, mono show moved, new cylinder heard for HP and torque. New bars on street ed and quick shifter. USA 5600. Wondering if you have them there. No beard? Didn’t recognize you? I watch 6 reviews last night catching up. The Ducati V4 engine is sweet right. So any favorites last year?
Hey Scott, glad you enjoyed the review 👍 Yup I haven’t test ridden in a while now, need to book some 2024 models in.
Favourite of last year is probably the Ducati Diavel V4! What a machine!
No bike is pointless if the rider likes it. I bet it's great to ride. Windblast. Lovely. Nick J
🙌 Preach, so true. Cheers
Hello my friend we have not heard from you for a while hope things are ok with you and you are staying strong and focused on making a great videos for your channel hope to see you soon ....
Hi, I am well thank you 🙏 Just been very busy working, but I hope to have some more videos out for you soon. Many thanks and all the best to you
Are you ok mate? Not seen you post for a while.
Hi, I’m good thanks for asking 🙌 Just been so busy working etc…
@redangrevival OK that's cool. I was a bit concerned about your mental health. I have had a few health issues myself this year so here's to a great season next year. Merry Christmas.
Plz review the vulcan 650. I'm not sure if I should go for the vulcan or spend the extra £££ for the speed master . What's your thoughts?
I will try my best to get a test ride 👍 Quality wise I would say you will notice a big difference with the Speedmaster, it is just build so well. Another level above the Vulcan
Good and enjoy yor trip
Happy Christmas
Thanks and Happy Christmas to you too
Hey Angus, any more reviews coming?
Hey, I hope to make some more videos soon! Unfortunately just been so busy working etc…
