The 1989 FLTC Tour Glide

1997 FLHRI Road King

BY the mid-1990s, it was obvious that there wasn't going to be any significant "new idea" which had a Harley Davidson badge on the tank. Harley knew what its customers wanted, and it knew what it was good at building. Hence the regular reappearance of old ideas such as the Road King, a middleweight tourer first introduced for the 1995 model year. This was a return to traditional values of the Electra Glide in much the same way that the FLHS had been a decade earlier. The Road King combined improvements to the Harley package - like electronic sequential port full injection on the FLHRI - with the looks of the traditional Electra Glide such as whitewall tires, spoked wheels, leather saddlebags and plenty of chrome. With a pricetag of $15,000, Harley Davidson now had a bike to give the Japanese tourers a run for their money.

The evolution engine had been a success since its introduction in the year 1984, but the Weber fuel-injection option available on the FLHRI transformed it into a different beast again. Economic on fuel, easy to start and a lower exhaust emission, all added to a new and improved riding experience.
