Overview

Introducing the 2011 Harley-Davidson FLHX Street Glide, a quintessential touring motorcycle that seamlessly combines style, comfort, and performance. Part of Harley-Davidson's renowned Touring lineup, the Street Glide is designed for those who crave long-distance adventures without sacrificing the iconic American cruiser aesthetic. With a starting price of around $18,999, it offers a compelling entry into the world of premium touring bikes, appealing to both seasoned riders and newcomers looking to embark on their two-wheeled journeys. At the heart of the Street Glide lies a powerful 1584cc V2, four-stroke engine that delivers an impressive torque of 126 Nm at 3500 RPM, ensuring exhilarating acceleration when you need it most. The six-speed gearbox provides smooth transitions and optimal performance on the open road, while the air-cooled engine keeps things simple and reliable. With its 95.3 mm bore and 111.1 mm stroke, the engine offers a satisfying rumble that is music to any motorcycle enthusiast’s ears. The lightweight frame, weighing in at 785 pounds, allows for nimble handling, making it surprisingly agile for a touring bike, whether you’re navigating winding backroads or cruising down the highway. The 2011 Street Glide is not just about power; it also boasts a range of features designed for the long-haul rider. The bike features a comfortable seat height of 28.1 inches, allowing riders of various sizes to find a secure footing. The front suspension employs a 41.3mm telescopic fork with triple circuit damping, providing excellent ride quality over diverse terrains, while the rear suspension is short and air-adjustable, ensuring you can tailor your ride to your preferences. With a spacious fuel capacity of 22.7 liters, you can venture further without frequently stopping to refuel. The optional Twin Cam 103 engine elevates performance even further, with a staggering 138 Nm of torque available for those who seek additional power. **

Pros

  • Comfortable Touring Experience: Designed for long-distance rides with a comfortable seat and ergonomic layout.
  • Powerful Engine: The V2 engine delivers strong torque for effortless acceleration and cruising.
  • Customizable Features: Various color options and the availability of the Twin Cam 103 engine allow for personalization.

Cons

  • Weight: At 785 pounds, the Street Glide may be cumbersome for less experienced riders in certain conditions.
  • Limited Ground Clearance: With only 4.9 inches of ground clearance, bottoming out on rough roads can be a concern.
  • Price Point: While competitive in the touring segment, it may still be a stretch for budget-conscious riders.
