Overview

Introducing the 2013 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Police—a motorcycle that melds the iconic styling and road prowess of Harley with specialized features designed for the demands of law enforcement. This model belongs to the Touring category, catering to those who seek long-distance comfort and impressive capabilities on the open road. Built with the ruggedness and reliability that police departments have come to trust, the Electra Glide Police stands out not only in uniform but also among civilian riders who appreciate its blend of performance and touring comfort. At the heart of this machine lies a powerful 1,688 cc (103 cubic inches) V2, four-stroke engine, delivering an exhilarating torque of 135.6 Nm (100 ft-lbs) at 3,250 RPM. This robust engine configuration, coupled with a 6-speed transmission, ensures smooth and ample power delivery, whether navigating city streets or cruising down the highway. Riders will appreciate the precise handling afforded by a rake of 26 degrees and a trail of 170 mm, while the 41.3 mm telescopic front suspension and air-adjustable rear suspension provide a plush ride even on less-than-perfect roads. With a fuel consumption of 5.6 liters per 100 km (42 mpg), the Electra Glide Police balances performance with efficiency, making it an ideal companion for long-distance journeys. The Electra Glide Police is also packed with features that enhance both safety and convenience. Equipped with advanced ABS brakes on both ends, this motorcycle ensures stability and confidence during emergency stops. The sturdy mild steel tubular frame, designed to withstand the rigors of duty, provides stability and comfort, while the ample fuel capacity of 22.71 liters (6 gallons) means fewer stops on long rides. An electric starter and multi-plate wet clutch further streamline the riding experience, reinforcing its reputation as a dependable touring partner. With a two-year warranty, Harley-Davidson also stands behind the quality and craftsmanship of the Electra Glide Police. **

Pros

  • Performance-Oriented Engine: The 103 ci engine delivers excellent torque and smooth acceleration, perfect for both urban commuting and long-distance touring.
  • Robust Safety Features: ABS brakes provide added security, ensuring reliable stopping power in various conditions.
  • Comfortable Ride: With an air-adjustable rear suspension and a spacious touring seat, the Electra Glide is designed for long hours on the road.

Cons

  • Weight: At 380.1 kg (838 lbs) when fully loaded, this motorcycle may feel cumbersome to some riders, especially at lower speeds.
  • Fuel Efficiency: While decent for a touring bike, the fuel consumption could be better compared to more modern rivals in the same category.
  • Price Point: The specialized features and brand reputation come at a premium, which might be a consideration for budget-conscious enthusiasts.
