Harley-Davidson Touring Road Glide Special FLTRXS 2017

The Harley-Davidson Road Glide Special is an imposing as well as pompous touring motorbike that invites you to glide and travel. If it gets tighter and more crowded, both motorbike and rider no longer feel so comfortable, which is why you should give the luxury cruiser plenty of room and run. The equipment on board is at 5* level and the comfort for all fellow passengers is correspondingly high. The large engine allows for very low revs, the enormous torque provides enough pressure in every situation. Only the high weight and the comfortable but wide seat sometimes cause problems when stopping and manoeuvring.
