Introducing the 2024 Harley-Davidson Road Glide 3, a striking addition to the touring motorcycle segment that seamlessly blends modern technology with iconic style. With a starting MSRP of $34,999, this bike is designed for riders who demand both comfort and performance on long journeys. The Road Glide 3 stands out in Harley-Davidson's lineup, offering a three-wheeled experience that enhances stability and confidence for both seasoned riders and newcomers alike. Its bold presence and distinctive shark-nose fairing not only turn heads but also provide excellent wind protection, making it an ideal companion for those who crave adventure on the open road. At the heart of the Road Glide 3 lies the formidable Milwaukee-Eight™ 114 engine, boasting a displacement of 1868.2 ccm and delivering an impressive 90 horsepower at 4,750 RPM.

With a well-balanced weight of 509.8 kg (1,124.0 lbs), this motorcycle offers stability and control, whether navigating through city streets or tackling winding backroads. The Road Glide 3 is packed with features that enhance the riding experience. A premium low hand-adjustable rear suspension and a 49mm dual bending valve front suspension provide exceptional comfort, absorbing the bumps of the road while ensuring precise handling. Safety is paramount, as highlighted by the double-disc front brakes with ABS and rear drum brakes with ABS, giving riders confidence in their stopping power. The bike's instrumentation includes a comprehensive speedometer, tachometer, and fuel gauge, along with a gear indicator and trip features, ensuring that you’re always informed about your ride. Available in an array of striking colors, including Vivid Black and Billiard Gray, the Road Glide 3 caters to those who appreciate both aesthetics and performance. **
