1997 Harley-Davidson Road King Project - Done & Done
What a difference a year makes. We scored this '97 Road King out of Billings, Montana, off of eBay with less than 3,000 miles on the clock. The deal sounded sweet, but when our friends at Keyboard Motorcycle shipping safely delivered the scooter on our doorstep down here in SoCal, it looked like the FLHR had 10 times the mileage on it. The deprived bike sat in a barn for four years since its last …

Harley babe hates gear when not riding

Yamaha FZ6 versus Harley-Davidson Sportster 883
I don't know if any of the motorcycle magazines have run performance comparisons between the Yamaha FZ6 versus the Harley-Davidson Sportster 883, but it seems like these two bikes are indeed comparable in many ways, yet quite different in others.
