Overview

Introducing the 2021 Harley-Davidson Road Glide Limited The 2021 Harley-Davidson Road Glide Limited epitomizes the spirit of American touring motorcycles, crafted for those who crave the open road and seek adventure in comfort and style. Positioned within the prestigious touring category, this model is a testament to Harley's commitment to combining power, technology, and design. With a starting MSRP of $28,299, the Road Glide Limited is tailored for riders who appreciate the finer things in life, from cross-country trips to weekend getaways, all while donning the unmistakable badge of Harley-Davidson. Engine Performance and Riding Characteristics At the heart of the Road Glide Limited beats the formidable Milwaukee-Eight 114 engine, a V2 powerhouse boasting a displacement of 1868 cc (113.99 cubic inches). Producing 89 horsepower at 5,450 RPM and a staggering 165.4 Nm (122 ft-lbs) of torque at just 3,000 RPM, this machine is designed for effortless highway cruising and spirited acceleration when you need it. The 6-speed gearbox and a belt final drive work in harmony to deliver smooth transitions between gears, ensuring that every ride is as seamless as it is exhilarating. With a fuel consumption rate of 5.47 liters per 100 km (43 mpg), you can go further without frequent stops, making those long rides even more enjoyable. Key Features and Technology The Road Glide Limited is equipped with a wealth of features that enhance both the riding experience and comfort. The bike comes with a small windshield designed to reduce wind fatigue on long hauls, while the adjustable suspension—comprised of a telescopic fork in the front and twin shocks in the rear—ensures a smooth ride over various terrains. The motorcycle also integrates modern technology with Bluetooth connectivity, USB ports, and an advanced infotainment system, so riders can stay connected without sacrificing the thrill of the ride. With the addition of cruise control and an alarm system, the Road Glide Limited stands as a refined companion for both the solo rider and the adventurous couple. Color options like Vivid Black and Midnight Crimson Red add a touch of personalized flair to this touring icon. **
