Harley-Davidson Road King Classic (FLHRCI) review

Immersed in Harley and US heritage - looks like it has just stepped out of the 1950's
Style, improved clutch, easily removable windshield
Too many colours to choose from

The 2006 FLHRCI Road King Classic offers looks direct from the golden era of the American Fifties. This tourer would look perfect parked up outside of Al's Diner in Happy Days - large fries and a strawberry soda!
