Motorcycle specifications Harley-Davidson1584 ELECTRA GLIDE STANDARD FLHT 2010 Masterful relaxation on the road

the Electra Glide is as much associated with Harley-Davidson as Harley is with Davidson and Davidson is with Harley. It first appeared in 1965 and is still going strong today. In the Touring range, the Ultra Classic version is the most lavishly equipped, the ultimate American road cruiser. At the other end of the scale, the Standard is more affordable, without sacrificing the Electra philosophy.

still with hard cases to carry a few items of luggage, the triple-headlamp look preceding a wide whip head, a thick, plush seat.. and a more dynamic line, due to the absence of the passenger's top-case-seat-senatorial combo, the elimination of the deflectors in front of the legs and the lesser presence of tubular steel protectors. On-board equipment is less extensive, and the approach price is far less toxic: several thousand euros difference between the standard and Ultra Classic. As with any self-respecting ocean liner, handling is of the same ilk, space is at a premium, and docking is not to be improvised.

much of the pleasure of riding this Electra comes, of course, from the big Twin Cam 96. More efficient, more paunchy than its predecessor, it's still, with its fat muscle and vibrations, an excellent traveling companion. Like the rest of the Touring range, the Electra Glide features a new chassis. Thanks to a new robotic welding process and a new frame shape, the steel frame has half as many parts for 20% more rigidity. A modified swingarm, a 17-inch front wheel, a revised engine isolation system, a wider rear tire and recalibrated suspensions brilliantly modify the roadholding of Milwaukee's long-hauler. The particularly well-hidden ABS is standard, as is ETC (Electronic Throttle Control), Harley's electronically controlled gas pedal
