2009 Harley Davidson Road King Touring Review article
Hey guys,
Classic styling, quiet ride -- I'd say it's fit for a king. Every re-engineered detail seems to have been aimed at quieting the rumble and the rattle when idling, and offering an overall comfortable riding experience.
Anyone riding the new Road King? How do you like it? If you went to this year's model from a previous year's Touring Harley, do you notice a difference? If you don't ride one but have checked it out, do you think you'll be going Road King this year?

Well I went from a 02 Sporty to an 09 King. So lets just say that my battery dies before I could get the Sporty started. I told my wife that if ther was a bike to marry the Road King would be it.............Hands Down
"The 2009 Harley Davidson Road King comes with Harley's Twin Cam 96, a 1,584 cu in, air-cooled, V-twin four-stroke powerplant, fly-by-wire throttle control, fuel injection, and an active intake and exhaust noise control system that reduces the noise level of the bike when it thinks it's in an urban environment."
I still love my 2008 road King even before putting on the progressive stabilizer link. After the install, I have a bike that tracks even truer and is a joy to ride.
