2017 Harley-Davidson Road King Special

Black components, a larger headlight nacelle, 'Turbine' cast wheels and the lack of any windscreen distinguish the new 2017 Road King Special.

Those aren't the bike's only identifying features, though. Others include an unadorned front mudguard, 9”-high mini-ape handlebars and a low-set numberplate mount. Completing the look are redesigned pannier cases which visually stretch themselves over both exhausts.

Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle.
