Motorcycle specifications Harley-Davidson1690 DYNA SWITCHBACK FLD 2016 The Harley Touring approach
presentation of the 1690 DYNA SWITCHBACK FLD 2016
the 103 ci Switchback could be likened to a bridge between the Dyna and the Milwaukee-based manufacturer's big Touring models. Like the superb (and very expensive) former Convertible, the Switchback takes advantage of the lightness of the Dyna models with a pinch of equipment to venture out on the road, protecting Mr's chest while carrying Mrs's belongings. Its big chrome headlamp, topped by a removable windscreen, gives it all the poise of a Road King, while the slim rear end looks like a Baby Street Glide. Its hips are a pair of rigid suitcases, also removable. The American model is fitted with chrome-plated aluminum wheels with black spokes.
engine-wise, the Twin Cam benefits from its fat, torquey 1690 cm3. However, it's a little less powerful than most other models equipped with this block: on the Switchback, it delivers 126 Nm of torque, compared with 132 Nm on a Wide Glide, for example. Transmission is, of course, belt-driven, with a 6-speed gearbox. A real invitation to travel, this Harley will be perfect for those who want to venture into the great outdoors but are reluctant to buy a Touring(Electra, Street or Road King), which is more majestic but also more impressive in size. Base price for this Switchback: 17,990 euros.

Bikers' reviews Leave a review - 12 reviews
Very good model flexible solo duo I'm 57 years old I do a lot of mileage very economical 6 speed engine speed not very high Normal flexibility due to the belt
You take an average of 110 km on the freeway for economy!
But this model remains quite reliable - I recommend it!
The windscreen is quite effective in high winds, even at 110 km
If it rains, it's more annoying
All in all, I'm satisfied with it. We recommend changing the oil once a year. Rating : 5/5 Respond to Phil 38
