Harley-Davidson Road Glide Limited

The Harley-Davidson Road Glide Limited is the flagship of the Road Glide line, a fully equipped, frame-mounted tourer with the iconic 'Shark Nose' fairing bolted directly to the frame tubes rather than to the forks. This is the key distinction from the Road King and Street Glide: the fairing does not turn with the handlebars, which reduces vibration transfer and improves high-speed stability. The engine is the Milwaukee-Eight 114 (1868cc) with 159 Nm of torque. Standard equipment includes the BOOM! Box infotainment system with two fairing speakers and two in the rear.

The Road Glide Limited targets serious touring riders who cover hundreds of kilometres per day. The frame-mounted fairing provides excellent wind protection, and the lockable saddlebags plus top box mean you can depart without strapping on extra luggage. Electrically adjustable windscreen, heated seats, and the Harman/Kardon audio system make long stages more comfortable. It is, however, a large and heavy motorcycle, unsuited to narrow city streets or inexperienced riders.
