Motorcycle specifications Harley-Davidson1450 STREET GLIDE FLHX 2006 Une invitation de Milwaukee

is Cruise halfway between the Electra Glide Ultra Classic and the Road King? Certainly more on the side of the Electra, from which it takes on many of the same elements. Like the Electra, it's a grand tourer, with more minimalist, streamlined styling. Gone are the triple eyes, replaced by a single large headlamp; the top case disappears, leaving the line fluid and giving pride of place to the Street's hips; the tubular protection bars are still there, but the ones that deflected the air are gone. In fact, it's very similar to the Electra Glide Standard. It would even be easy to confuse the two if it weren't for the more sylph-like seat and smaller windscreen. Slimmer and less imposing, this Glide is designed for the road, without the overhanging canopy of the Electra Ultra Classic. But travelers can rest assured that the Street still has enough to satisfy the needs of American-style long-distance riders.

rigid saddlebags, oleo-pneumatic rear suspension, the 1450 twin cam 88 and a large, well-equipped fork head: electronic tachometer, rev counter, fuel dipstick, voltmeter, oil pressure gauge, ambient temperature indicator, and, last but not least, a Harman Kardon audio system. The elongated chrome console over the fuel tank never ceases to provoke the retina. Part custom, part cruiser, the Street Glide FLHXI is a very interesting alternative to the famous Electra Glide. The seat knows the meaning of comfort, and the ride lets you discover cruising. Relax with the melody of the on-board Hi-Fi and the rhythm of the big Milwaukee twin. Of course, with all that weight, it's not always easy to ask it to make a big effort. And don't play with the gearbox too much; it's as quick as getting information from a telephone company... Don't go too fast in corners, it rubs quickly. Besides, I told you it was for cruising, and that's what the Street Glide is for.
