### 2013 Harley-Davidson Road Glide Custom: A Touring Icon The 2013 Harley-Davidson Road Glide Custom stands as a testament to the open road, embodying the spirit of freedom and adventure that defines the Harley brand. Positioned in the touring motorcycle category, this model is designed for those who crave long-distance rides coupled with the unmistakable style and comfort that only Harley-Davidson can deliver. With a starting price of $19,799, the Road Glide Custom appeals to enthusiasts who appreciate both aesthetics and performance, providing a perfect blend of classic styling and modern technology. At the heart of the Road Glide Custom is a robust 1687.97 ccm (103.00 cubic inches) V2, four-stroke engine that churns out an impressive torque of 135.60 Nm (100.0 ft.lbs) at just 3250 RPM. This powertrain is coupled with a sophisticated 6-speed gearbox that ensures smooth acceleration and effortless cruising on the highway. With a compression ratio of 9.6:1 and advanced Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI), riders will experience a responsive throttle and remarkable fuel efficiency of approximately 42.00 mpg. The combination of oil and air cooling allows for reliable performance, even on those long journeys, while the belt final drive contributes to a quieter, maintenance-friendly ride. The Road Glide Custom isn’t just about power; it’s also loaded with features designed for comfort and convenience. The bike's distinctive frame features a 26.0° rake and a trail of 170 mm, delivering exceptional stability and handling. The double disc front brakes, equipped with four-piston calipers, provide outstanding stopping power, while the single disc rear brake ensures a balanced braking experience. With a spacious fuel tank capacity of 22.71 litres (6.00 gallons), riders can enjoy extended rides without frequent stops. Available in stunning color options like Candy Orange with Pale Gold Pinstripes and Vivid Black with Medium Silver Pinstripes, the Road Glide Custom is as much a visual masterpiece as it is a performance-oriented machine. ###
