The Road King Special  cost about the same as a decent car – despite being two wheels short of a chassis. The latest Harley is worthy of mention on Car Couture because it looks so good and is a vast improvement over the outgoing model.

Designers have given the King a more aggressive look for 2017, as these first pictures show. Find your inner George Clooney with mini ape handlebars, a lowered profile and all-black engine finish.

Harley says new front forks and rear shocks have improved the handling and ride comfort too. The King is fitted the latest Milwaukee-Eight 107 engine with extra grunt and better cruising speed.

Prices start at £19,995, with the choice of four colours.
