Overview

Introducing the 2004 Harley-Davidson FLHTCUI Ultra Classic Electra Glide—an iconic figure in the realm of custom-cruisers, designed for those who crave the open road and the thrill of the ride. Renowned for its combination of comfort, style, and performance, the Ultra Classic Electra Glide seamlessly blends classic Harley-Davidson aesthetics with modern engineering. This motorcycle is not just a mode of transportation; it's a lifestyle choice, catering to riders who appreciate long-distance cruising without sacrificing the luxurious amenities that come standard with this model. At the heart of the Ultra Classic is a robust 1449 cc (88.42 cubic inches) V2 four-stroke engine, delivering an impressive torque of 109 Nm at 3400 RPM. This powertrain provides a smooth and exhilarating ride, effortlessly propelling the bike down highways with an air-cooled design that keeps things simple and reliable. The 5-speed gearbox, paired with a belt final drive, ensures that every gear shift is as seamless as the bike’s design. Riders can expect a stable and responsive experience thanks to the bike’s rake of 26.0° and a trail of 158 mm, which add to its impressive cornering capabilities while maintaining the comfort necessary for long journeys. The 2004 Ultra Classic is packed with features that cater to the modern rider's needs. Its iconic Batwing fairing not only enhances aerodynamics but also houses a premium 40-watt per channel, 4-speaker AM/FM/CD sound system, ensuring that you can enjoy your favorite tunes while cruising down the highway. With lower fairings that come with storage compartments, nylon alloy saddlebags, and a fiberglass King Tour-Pak, this motorcycle is all about convenience and practicality. Additionally, the electronic cruise control allows for a relaxed ride, making it ideal for long stretches of road. With a variety of color options—from Vivid Black to two-tone luxury combinations—there's an Ultra Classic to match every rider's personality. **

Pros

  • Comfortable Touring Experience: With features like a plush seat and spacious saddlebags, long rides become enjoyable rather than exhausting.
  • Strong Engine Performance: The V2 engine provides ample torque and smooth power delivery, making it suitable for both highway cruising and city riding.
  • Rich Feature Set: Equipped with modern conveniences such as a sound system and electronic cruise control, the Ultra Classic enhances the riding experience.

Cons

  • Weight: At 372 kg (820.1 pounds), the bike can feel heavy, especially for novice riders or during low-speed maneuvers.
  • Fuel Efficiency: While powerful, the engine's performance may come at the cost of fuel efficiency compared to smaller touring models.
  • Size: The large dimensions may be intimidating for shorter riders, and the seat height of 693 mm (27.3 inches) might pose a challenge for those with shorter inseams.
