Eighth in the Series. Look for 8 on this ornament. / 1994 FLHR ROAD KING (R) / Harley-Davidson (R) Motorcycle Milestones / Introduced by Harley-Davidson in 1994, the Road King's / classic styling was inspired by those iron horses of Harley / roaming the highways half a century earlier. The Road King / was born for the modern road, however, and fit right in to / Harley's touring lineup. Sure, it looked great going down- / town, showing off a low profile, sweeping handlebars, burly / headlight, and deep-skirted fenders. But its highway / heritage--the big V-twin engine, a generous gas tank, and / hard saddlebags--proves why riders say, "Long live the King!" / Don Palmiter / Hallmark Keepsake Artist / For decorative use only.
