Street Glide® Special
When you’re looking for the perfect bike for extended tours or basic weekend cruising, you can’t do much better than the Street Glide® Special. This bike takes its design cues from old-school hot rod baggers, the type that used big air-cooled engines and burly frames to give a stable, powerful ride. The major surfaces, such as the stretched saddlebags, inner fairing walls, and fenders are all paint-matched. But thanks to modern engineering and design, the Street Glide® Special rides much easier than any bagger you’ve probably ever felt. A dialed-in suspension and a low center of gravity help it to corner like a dream, and its big talon wheels make it as stylish as it is comfortable. You even get a Boom! Audio sound system with Stage I Boom! Speakers that bring dynamic clarity and powerful bass lines.
Road Glide® Special
When you see a Road Glide® Special roaring up behind you in your rearview mirror, the immediate impulse is to get out of the way. Thanks to the aggressive shark-nose fairing, traffic always knows the choice is move over or get run over. That attitude problem is found throughout the bike, from the stretched saddlebags to the paint-matched fenders and even the sinister Dark Custom styling. A bike like this wouldn’t be complete without some don’t-mess-with-me power, and the Milwaukee-Eight 107 engine provides that in spades. With 11 ft-lbs of torque, it lets you accelerate like a rocket throughout the power band. Up top, you’ll get a Boom! Box 6.5GT Touchscreen Infotainment System for on the road entertainment and navigation. This is what a modern touring bike is supposed to be.
Road King® Special
The all-new Road King® Special rides like royalty with a dominant stance that shows other motorists you mean business. The big turbine wheels (18-inches in the rear, 19-inches in front) let the bike ride heavy, while the beefed up front forks give the bike broad shoulders. The black 2-1-2 exhaust comes with tapered mufflers and lets out a pure Harley-Davidson® howl, which is made even more clear by the Milwaukee-Eight 107 engine which offers reduced mechanical noise. That big Milwaukee-Eight V-Twin engine uses Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection to provide the most efficient power possible, and with 107 cubic inches of displacement, it has plenty of power, no matter how hard you ride. The Road King® Special uses one of the most eye-catching finishes Harley-Davidson® Motor Company has ever produced: Dark Custom. Blacked out components give this bike an undeniable appeal.
