The 2009 MY Harley Davidson FLHR Road King sports an air-cooled, 1584cc, Twin Cam 96 V-twin powerhouse mated to a six-speed manual transmission with a Cruise Drive system, and can reach its peak torque of 125 Nm at 3500 rpm.

This touring machine has received a new frame, the Touring FL Chassis, found on all the touring machines from the MoCo, which is lighter, yet more rigid, and improves comfort, performance and maneuverability. Other highlights for this model are the new licence plate location with LED illumination, the new Dunlop tires, the new 2-1-2 exhaust system, and new 28-spoke, cast aluminium wheels.
