Overview

Introducing the 2013 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Classic, a quintessential touring motorcycle that perfectly embodies the spirit of the open road. With a starting price of $19,699, it’s designed for those who seek adventure without sacrificing comfort. This model is part of Harley's storied lineage, revered for its iconic styling and unparalleled riding experience. The Electra Glide Classic is tailored for long-haul journeys, making it a favorite among touring enthusiasts looking for both performance and luxury. Under the hood, the Electra Glide Classic boasts a potent 1687.97 ccm (103.00 cubic inches) V2, four-stroke engine that churns out an impressive 135.60 Nm (100.0 ft.lbs) of torque at a low 3,250 RPM. This power delivery ensures that riders can effortlessly glide through highways or navigate through urban jungles with ease. The 6-speed gearbox and electronic sequential port fuel injection (ESPFI) system work in harmony to achieve a commendable fuel consumption of 5.60 liters per 100 kilometers (42.00 mpg), offering a balance of performance and efficiency. With a weight of 400.1 kg (882 pounds), the Electra Glide Classic feels stable and planted on the road, making it an ideal choice for long-distance rides. Not only does the Electra Glide Classic excel in performance, but it also comes packed with features tailored for comfort and convenience. Riders will appreciate the luxurious seating position—boasting a seat height of 693 mm (27.3 inches)—which allows for easy handling and control. The motorcycle comes equipped with a robust windshield, protecting against wind and debris while enhancing the riding experience. A generous fuel capacity of 22.71 liters (6.00 gallons) ensures that riders can cover long distances without frequent stops. With color options like Birch White/Midnight Pearl and Vivid Black, the Electra Glide Classic also allows riders to express their personal style. **

  • Powerful Engine Performance: The 103 cubic inch engine offers ample torque and power for any journey, whether on the highway or winding back roads.
  • Stylish Customization Options: A variety of color choices allows riders to personalize their bike to match their style.
