Harley-Davidson Softail Sport Glide FLSB 2020

Harley-Davidson Softail Sport Glide FLSB 2020

Eight new Softail models, and with the more powerful engines even 12 new models, are probably not enough. With the Sport Glide, Harley-Davidson sends another cruiser into the race that visually imitates the rigid frame. The 107cc engine with 1745 cubic capacity, 84 hp and 145 Newton metres of torque is fully adequate, the handling is extremely harmonious and yet agility is not neglected. The Sport Glide's strong point is its versatility: the baby batwing fairing and pannier set can be removed and re-installed in no time at all. Only the brakes could be a little more powerful - cruisers don't necessarily have to have single discs on the front...
