Harley-Davidson Road King Latest News in India

The biggest news story for the Harley-Davidson Road King in India was its discontinuation in April 2023, when Harley-Davidson officially stopped importing the Road King to the Indian market. This followed the brand's earlier restructuring of its India operations in 2020, when it exited direct operations and entered a distribution partnership with Hero MotoCorp for select smaller models - but the larger touring bikes like the Road King were eventually wound down from the India lineup.

The Road King had been available in India since Harley-Davidson's initial entry into the country in 2011, making it one of the longer-serving premium touring imports in the Indian market. Over its India lifespan, it was updated from the Twin Cam engine to the Milwaukee-Eight 107 in 2017, and received BS6 compliance updates ahead of India's April 2020 emission deadline.

For 2025, Harley-Davidson India's focus has shifted entirely to the smaller, Hero MotoCorp-distributed models - the X440 and related sub-500cc range that targets the mainstream Indian market. The large touring bikes including the Road King, Road Glide, and Street Glide are no longer available new in India, though authorised Harley-Davidson service centres continue to service existing Road Kings under their ownership care programmes.

The used Road King market in India has been active since the discontinuation, with prices stabilising as the initial post-discontinuation uncertainty settled. Platforms like Team-BHP's classifieds, Droom, and OLX regularly list Road Kings in major cities, particularly Mumbai, Pune, Delhi, and Bangalore where Harley ownership concentrations are highest.

Official Updates (3)

  • Harley-Davidson has confirmed the Road King Special is absent from the full 2026 global lineup, officially ending the Road King nameplate worldwide. The model was dropped alongside the Street Glide Ultra and both CVO variants, as Harley shifts its touring focus entirely to the Road Glide and Street Glide families.

  • Harley-Davidson's full 2026 India lineup focuses exclusively on models distributed through the Hero MotoCorp partnership - X440, Sportster S, Nightster, Fat Boy, and select others - with no large-displacement touring bikes including the Road King listed for the Indian market.

  • Harley-Davidson India officially discontinued the Road King in April 2023, ending imports of the Milwaukee-Eight 107-powered touring model. The last ex-showroom price in India was Rs 28,49,000 (Delhi, Vivid Black), and no new units have been available from dealerships since.

If you are tracking Road King news for ownership purposes, the most useful sources are the Team-BHP Harley-Davidson owners thread (one of India's most active large-bike ownership communities) and the Harley Owners Group (HOG) India chapters in your city, which maintain informal parts-sourcing and service mechanic networks that are invaluable for large Harley ownership in India post-2023.

Frequently Asked Questions

QWhen was the Harley-Davidson Road King discontinued in India?
The Harley-Davidson Road King was officially discontinued in India in April 2023. This was part of Harley-Davidson's broader withdrawal from large-displacement touring bikes in the Indian market, following the brand's exit from direct India operations in 2020 and its subsequent distribution partnership with Hero MotoCorp for smaller models.
QIs Harley-Davidson expected to relaunch the Road King in India?
There are no official announcements or credible reports as of 2025 suggesting Harley-Davidson plans to relaunch the Road King in India. The brand's current India strategy focuses on the sub-500cc segment through its Hero MotoCorp partnership. A relaunch of large-displacement touring bikes would require a significant shift in Harley's India business model.
QHas the Harley-Davidson Road King received any price changes in India recently?
No. The Road King's last officially recorded price in India was Rs 28,49,000 (ex-showroom Delhi, Vivid Black) at the time of discontinuation in April 2023. Since no new units are imported, there have been no manufacturer price revisions. Prices in the used market are set by individual sellers and fluctuate with supply and demand.
