With a price tag starting at $22,899 (or €25,475 depending on your locale), this bike is not just a mode of transport; it's an experience waiting to unfold. At the heart of the Street Glide Special lies the robust V2, four-stroke engine with a displacement of 1687.97 cc (103 cubic inches).

Equipped with modern technology and thoughtful design features, the Street Glide Special elevates the touring experience to new heights. The motorcycle comes standard with a sleek windshield and cruise control, allowing riders to maintain comfort over long distances. Safety is paramount, with ABS-equipped brakes ensuring confidence-inspiring stopping power both front and rear. Riders can choose from an array of striking color options, including Deep Jade Pearl and Vivid Black, allowing for personal expression. Additional amenities like an alarm system add to its security, making it a versatile choice for both seasoned riders and touring novices. **
