Say it, “Road King.” Two syllables, to the point. It’s ;a name people repeat when they hear it.The King, officially the FLHR Electra Glide Road King, carries on the tradition of the now-deposedElectra Glide Sport, itself an updated rendition of 1950s Harley tourers. As such, it takes H-D’s proven tour- ■ing frame, air-suspension and rubber-mounted, 80-cubic-inch Evolution engine, but makes do without the ;weight and the trappings of the full-dress touring bikes. According to Louie Netz, Harley-Davidson’s direc- itor of styling, after that, all it needed was a knockout name.“What we try to do is guess what the street name is going to be, what the people are going to call it,” he says. “It’s not a Ireal scientific process; it’s what feels good. Road King fits it very well.”The King’s broad appeal became apparent in about 10 seconds oneSunday morning. A gaggle of young children were playing as the RoadKing emerged from a garage in a small California town. Activitystopped. One girl’s eyes grew as big as H-D pistons. “Good golly!”she practically screamed. Seconds later, an old-school Harley riderdrove past in a ratty pickup with a partially disassembled Hog in theback. He didn’t say anything; his partially toothy grin and a thumbs-upsaid it all.Look close and you'll see a bike that’s 73 pounds lighter than thefully loaded, top-of-the-line Ultra Classic. The weight came off byeliminating the fairing, fairing lowers, stereo, backrest, tour trunk andelectronic cruise control. There’s a $2450 reduction in price, as well;the Ultra retails for $15,750, the King costs $13,300.... And much more! 12232
