Key specifications
Overview
Introducing the 2023 Harley-Davidson Road Glide 3, a striking departure from traditional touring motorcycles that caters to riders who crave both comfort and performance. Positioned in the premium touring segment, this three-wheeled marvel combines Harley’s iconic design with modern engineering. With an MSRP starting at $32,999, the Road Glide 3 appeals to the adventurous spirit of motorcycle enthusiasts looking for a bold ride that doesn’t skimp on luxury or technology. Its unique styling, characterized by the wind tunnel-tested body-mounted Shark fairing, not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also optimizes aerodynamic performance, making long-distance rides more enjoyable than ever. At the heart of the Road Glide 3 lies the formidable Milwaukee-Eight™ 114 engine, boasting a displacement of 1868.2 ccm (114 cubic inches) that delivers an impressive 90 horsepower at 4,750 RPM. The engine's torque output of 161.4 Nm (119 ft-lbs) at just 2,750 RPM ensures robust acceleration, whether you're cruising on the highway or navigating winding backroads. Complemented by a smooth 6-speed gearbox and a belt final drive, the Road Glide 3 offers seamless power delivery, making it a pleasure to ride in various conditions. With a fuel consumption rate of 5.47 liters per 100 kilometers (43 mpg), this touring trike is as efficient as it is powerful, allowing for longer journeys without frequent stops at the pump. The Road Glide 3 is equipped with a plethora of features that enhance both comfort and convenience. Its small windshield offers just the right amount of wind protection, while the adjustable twin shocks provide a custom-tailored ride for varying road conditions. Advanced technology such as traction control, cruise control, and a high-quality infotainment system—including USB and Bluetooth connectivity—ensures that you stay connected and entertained on your journeys. The bold color options, including Vivid Black and Bright Billiard Blue, further enhance the motorcycle's striking presence, making it a head-turner wherever you go. **
