Overview

Introducing the 2021 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Standard, a quintessential embodiment of the touring motorcycle genre. Designed for those who crave both style and substance, this model is a sleek, no-frills machine that captures the essence of long-distance riding without the excess. With an MSRP starting at $18,999, it stands as an accessible entry point into Harley's esteemed touring lineup, offering riders a classic experience with modern reliability and performance. At the heart of the Electra Glide Standard lies a formidable 1746cc V-twin engine, delivering a robust 90 horsepower at 5,450 RPM and an impressive torque of 150 Nm at 3,250 RPM. This powertrain, combined with a smooth 6-speed gearbox and belt final drive, ensures a dynamic ride whether you're cruising down the highway or navigating urban landscapes. The bike’s oil and air cooling system keeps the engine performing optimally, while the Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection guarantees efficient fuel delivery, allowing for a fuel consumption of approximately 5.47 liters per 100 km (43 mpg). With a power-to-weight ratio of 0.2541 HP/kg, the Electra Glide Standard provides a spirited performance that is sure to thrill riders. The Electra Glide Standard is not just about power; it's also packed with features designed for comfort and convenience. The bike comes equipped with a windscreen that shields riders from the elements, while cruise control makes long rides a breeze. The double disc front brakes and single disc rear brakes, both featuring ABS, ensure reliable stopping power when needed. With a ground clearance of 124 mm and a low seat height of 663 mm, this motorcycle offers a comfortable riding position for a broad range of riders. The classic Vivid Black color option adds a timeless touch, making it a striking presence on the road. **

Pros

  • Strong Engine Performance: The V-twin engine offers robust power and torque, enhancing the overall riding experience.
  • Comfortable Riding Position: With a low seat height and thoughtful ergonomics, the Electra Glide Standard is ideal for long-distance touring.
  • Essential Touring Features: Equipped with cruise control, a windscreen, and modern braking technology, it combines comfort with safety.

Cons

  • Limited Features: As a "standard" model, it lacks some of the premium features found in higher-end touring bikes, which may deter some buyers.
  • Weight: At 372 kg (820 lbs) with fluids, the bike may feel cumbersome for novice riders, especially when maneuvering at low speeds.
  • Single Color Option: The limited color palette may not appeal to riders looking for more customization possibilities.
