Harley-Davidson Softail Slim FLS 2013

Harley-Davidson Softail Slim FLS 2013

In our test, Vauli and K.OT were unanimous. No model in the Harley-Davidson range appeals to them as much as the Softail Slim. It embodies 100% Harley history and Made in America. With its look, it could pass for an original from the fifties and also picks up some elements and quotes from that time. Even the single seat was not compromised. The engine is extremely torquey, but jams should be avoided if possible because of the high heat radiation. The brakes work perfectly and the driving dynamics are harmonious due to the two narrow tyres, but severely limited by the lean angle. When it comes to the sound, you should and will upgrade, because an authentic sound also belongs to this authentic look. A motorbike for generations.
