The 2014 Road King Standard (FLHR) takes Harley-Davidson’s iconic touring design and pairs it with modern technology to deliver a ride that's both classic and cutting-edge. As part of Project RUSHMORE, the Road King Standard has been thoughtfully updated to enhance every aspect of the riding experience, blending heritage with innovation to create a motorcycle that’s perfect for both city cruising and long-distance touring.

Powering the 2014 Road King Standard is the new rubber-mounted High Output Twin Cam 103 engine, which delivers improved performance, more torque, and smoother operation. This powertrain provides the extra muscle needed for confident acceleration, overtaking, and uphill riding, especially when carrying a passenger or loaded with gear. The engine’s refinement ensures that every ride feels strong and responsive, embodying the heart and soul of a classic Harley-Davidson.

Safety has also been enhanced with the addition of the advanced anti-lock braking system (ABS) and linked brakes. This system ensures optimal braking performance by distributing brake pressure between the front and rear wheels, helping to maintain control during sudden stops or when braking in varying road conditions. It’s a major leap forward in rider confidence and safety, making the Road King Standard more reliable than ever.

New Dual Halogen headlamps and improved fog lamps offer superior illumination, dramatically enhancing night-time visibility and safety. These lights are not just brighter; they’re designed to light up more of the road ahead, ensuring that riders have a clear view in all conditions.

The newly designed gauges are not only easier to read but also more informative, offering clear and concise data on speed, fuel, and trip details. These enhancements allow riders to stay focused on the road without having to squint or struggle to find the information they need.

The Road King Standard’s hard saddlebags are built with durability in mind. They retain the classic look but are made from tough, injection-molded materials that stand the test of time. With redesigned latches, these bags are now even more practical, allowing for one-hand operation—perfect for quickly accessing gear on the go.

A detachable windshield offers versatility, letting riders easily switch between a wind-protected touring setup and a stripped-down cruiser look for city riding. The air-adjustable rear suspension allows riders to tailor the bike’s feel to their preference and load, ensuring comfort and control whether riding solo or with a passenger.

The 2014 Road King Standard is the perfect embodiment of Harley-Davidson’s commitment to blending tradition with the latest advancements. Its combination of classic styling, enhanced power, modern safety features, and adjustable comfort makes it a standout choice for riders who want a motorcycle that honors the past while embracing the future.
