The Road King Special adds a few more specs that aren't standard on the Road King. It has a sleeker slimmed down look wth a 19/18 wheel combo and offers ABS and a Security option. It also has a blacked out look and features mini-ape handlebars. All in all, this is a pricier purchase, but given its additional specs and sleeker look, this is a great choice for touring riders with a wider budget.
