Overview
Introducing the 2012 Harley-Davidson FLHXSE3 CVO Street Glide, a pinnacle of custom-cruiser excellence that embodies the spirit of freedom and individuality. As part of Harley-Davidson's prestigious Custom Vehicle Operations (CVO), this motorcycle stands out for its unique blend of style, performance, and luxurious comfort. With a muscular silhouette and a host of premium features, the Street Glide is designed for riders who demand both aesthetic appeal and long-distance capability, making it an ideal choice for those who appreciate the open road. At the heart of the FLHXSE3 is a powerful 1802.69 ccm (110 cubic inches) V2, four-stroke engine, delivering a remarkable torque of 160.01 Nm at 3750 RPM. This robust engine is paired with a smooth 6-speed gearbox, allowing for effortless cruising at highway speeds while maintaining optimal fuel efficiency—averaging an impressive 5.74 liters per 100 km (40.98 mpg).

The 2012 Street Glide is not just about performance; it’s also a treasure trove of advanced features and technology. The bike boasts an elegant two-piece welded backbone frame, reinforced with cast and forged junctions for maximum stability. The dual-disc front brakes, equipped with ABS, enhance safety—an essential feature for both novice and seasoned riders. Riders can enjoy their journeys with the confidence of a plush seat height of just 673 mm, ideal for comfort over long distances. With its stunning color options—Dark Slate/Black Diamond, Hot Citrus/Antique Gunstock, and Ruby Red/Typhoon Maroon, all featuring striking Phantom Flame graphics—the Street Glide is as much a showstopper as it is a performer. **
