Harley-Davidson enthusiasts in Australia and New Zealand have reason to rejoice with the announcement of the arrival of the 2017 Road King Special. Priced at $34,995 ride away in Australia and $37,995 in New Zealand, this new addition to the Milwaukee-Eight powered Touring range boasts signature features that set it apart.
Featuring a dark shadowed front with a gloss-black headlamp nacelle, mini-ape handlebars, stretched saddlebags, and a dominant blacked-out livery, the Road King Special embodies a new aesthetic that resonates with the custom bagger scene. Brad Richards, Harley-Davidson’s Vice-President of Styling and Design, emphasized the shift towards a more contemporary look by exchanging chrome surfaces for black, creating a lower-profile design.
With an engine upgrade that delivers enhanced torque and acceleration, the Road King Special promises an improved riding experience for both riders and passengers while preserving the iconic Harley-Davidson look, sound, and feel. Notably, this model showcases the Milwaukee-Eight engine in an all-black finish, marking a significant design departure.
Complementing the engine enhancements are the Road King Special’s unique 19-inch front wheel and redesigned suspension. The new fork internals offer better damping control, and the rear shocks feature hydraulic spring preload adjustment, a departure from the previous air adjustment system.
Adam Wright, Director of Marketing for Australia and New Zealand, expressed enthusiasm for the Road King Special, highlighting its blend of style and performance. Available in four color options—Vivid Black, Charcoal Denim, Hot Rod Red Flake Hard Candy Custom, and Olive Gold—this model offers riders a range of choices to suit their preferences.
Harley-Davidson’s commitment to innovation and design excellence is evident in the Road King Special, which represents a new chapter for riders seeking both style and functionality in their motorcycles. By incorporating cutting-edge features and a distinctive aesthetic, this model caters to the evolving tastes of Harley-Davidson enthusiasts in the region.
As the motorcycle industry continues to evolve, with manufacturers introducing advanced technologies and design elements, the launch of the Road King Special underscores Harley-Davidson’s dedication to meeting the demands of riders in Australia and New Zealand. With its combination of power, style, and performance, this model is poised to make a significant impact on the touring motorcycle market.
