Ah, the 2018 Harley-Davidson Road King Special, where the term ‘lightened touring platform’ is used as a polite euphemism for ‘not as heavy as the regular Road King but still makes your wallet lighter by the day’. It’s like Harley realized they needed to slim down their line-up, but in the process, slimmed down our wallets instead. And don’t get me started on the ‘sumping’ issue – sounds more like a dance move than an engine malfunction. The ‘Hard Candy Hot Rod Red Flake’ might have been a $2,400 extra, but I bet it didn’t help with the engine’s reliability. As for the resale value, let’s just say it’s a ‘market’ that’s ‘oversupplied’ with these bikes. It’s like Harley thought, ‘Hey, let’s make a special edition that’s special for our wallet, not our bike’s performance.’ Now if only the Road King could live up to its ‘King’ name without making us feel like paupers!
