Using a model-level wet weight comparison, the Harley-Davidson FLHRI Road King is heavier than about 91.4% of 168 Harley-Davidson custom/cruiser motorcycles with compatible weight data.
A full tank is not weightless: the 4.99 US gal (18.9 L) to 5 US gal (18.92 L) listed capacity works out to approximately 31 lb (14.1 kg) to 31.1 lb (14.1 kg) of gasoline. This is an estimate rather than a Harley-Davidson curb-weight specification.
