Harley-Davidson Touring Road Glide ST 2023

Harley-Davidson Touring Road Glide ST 2023

The Road Glide ST presented itself very confident and potent in the 1000PS test in August 2022. The sporty motorbike appears somewhat sportier than similar models due to the tight saddle. The wind protection is great and the overall riding comfort is very high. The potent engine is pleasant to control thanks to the high-quality driving aids. The huge cockpit seems somewhat confusing, but the integration of the navigation system is well done. A very desirable dream motorbike.

Impressive but not disturbing sound

Powerful engine which roars upwards from the rev range

Vibrations and response fit perfectly into the overall picture

Great integrated navigation system

Good, practical electronic driving aids

Top wind protection and high stability at high speeds

Many beautiful details on the bike which really get to the heart

Easy to control brakes with a clean pressure point and good effect

Despite its high weight, the bike is easy to control and manoeuvre.

Front end seems a little ponderous at low speeds

somewhat confusing cockpit

plastic heat shield under the seat doesn't quite fit into the great overall picture

rather stiff seat

air filter is a little annoying when operating the rear brake

stiff clutch.

Harley-Davidson Softail Low Rider ST 2023

Harley-Davidson Softail Low Rider ST 2023

In the saddle of the Low Rider ST, which is by no means soft, you just want to ride off, preferably far, far away, Route 66 immediately comes to mind. But the bike is also capable of winding country roads and mountain passes, and offers plenty of performance not only from the rev monster Millwaukee Eight 117, but also in terms of chassis and handling. From this point of view, those Harley-Davidson fans who ordered it practically blind without a test ride didn't do much wrong.

a superior engine in every situation

stable chassis

surprisingly agile handling

comfortable seat

unadulterated performance thanks to the absence of electronic assistance systems.

Manageable lean angle clearance

pillion seat is an extra charge

braking at sporty speeds requires a lot of hand power.
