Overview

### Discover the 2012 Harley-Davidson FXDC Dyna Super Glide Custom Introducing the 2012 Harley-Davidson FXDC Dyna Super Glide Custom, a motorcycle that captures the essence of American cruising with a modern twist. Positioned within the custom-cruiser category, the FXDC combines classic styling with contemporary performance, making it an attractive choice for riders who appreciate both aesthetics and capabilities. Its iconic design is complemented by a robust price tag of US$12,999, ensuring you get a piece of Harley heritage without breaking the bank. The FXDC is not just a motorcycle; it’s a statement on the road, perfect for those who crave individuality and freedom. At the heart of the FXDC is a powerful 1573.25cc V2, four-stroke engine that delivers an exhilarating riding experience. With a torque output of 124.75 Nm at 3000 RPM, this cruiser is designed to provide ample power whether you’re navigating city streets or cruising down open highways. The engine's compression ratio of 9.2:1 coupled with Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI) ensures smooth throttle response and efficiency, achieving a commendable fuel consumption of 5.47 liters per 100 km. The 6-speed gearbox allows for effortless shifting and optimal performance at various speeds, while the belt final drive contributes to a smooth, low-maintenance ride. The FXDC boasts a robust chassis that perfectly balances comfort and handling. Built on a mild steel tubular frame, it features a 49 mm front suspension with polished aluminum fork triple clamps and dual-rate springs, offering 127 mm of front travel. This, combined with a rear coil-over shock that provides 79 mm of rear travel, ensures a plush ride even on less-than-perfect roads. The bike’s design includes modern safety features, such as optional ABS on both the front and rear brakes, enhancing rider confidence. With a seat height of 668 mm, it accommodates a wide range of riders, while the variety of color options—from Vivid Black to Tequila Sunrise—allows for personal expression. ####

Pros

    Cons

    • Powerful Performance: The 96 cubic inch V2 engine delivers robust torque and smooth acceleration, making it an excellent choice for cruising.
    • Customizable Aesthetic: With multiple color options and a classic design, riders can express their personal style while enjoying a timeless look.
    • Comfortable Ride: The well-designed suspension provides a smooth ride, whether navigating city streets or enjoying long-distance journeys.
    • Weight Considerations: At 293.9 kg (648 lbs), the FXDC can feel heavy, especially for newer riders or those who prefer lighter motorcycles.
    • Limited Storage Options: The custom-cruiser design focuses more on style than practicality, resulting in limited storage for long rides.
    • Fuel Consumption: While efficient for a cruiser, some may find the 5.47 liters per 100 km less competitive compared to other modern touring bikes.
