Introducing the 2013 Harley-Davidson Ultra Classic Electra Glide, a premier touring motorcycle that embodies the spirit of the open road. Renowned for its blend of classic styling and modern technology, the Ultra Classic stands as a symbol of freedom and adventure, appealing to seasoned riders and newcomers alike. With a price tag starting at US$21,799, this motorcycle is more than just a machine; it's a lifestyle choice for those who crave long-distance journeys and the comfort that comes with them. At the heart of the Ultra Classic is a formidable 1687.97 ccm (103.00 cubic inches) V2, four-stroke engine that delivers an impressive torque of 135.60 Nm (100.0 ft.lbs) at 3250 RPM. This powerhouse is coupled with a smooth 6-speed gearbox, offering a seamless transition through gears that enhances both performance and riding pleasure. With a fuel consumption rate of 5.60 litres/100 km (42.00 mpg), you can enjoy extended rides without the constant need for refueling. The bike’s oil and air cooling system ensures the engine operates efficiently, providing reliability on those long hauls, while the multi-plate clutch offers smooth engagement for an effortless ride. The 2013 Ultra Classic is packed with features designed for comfort and convenience during those long rides. It boasts a large 22.71-litre fuel tank, providing ample range between stops, and a comfortable seat height of 693 mm (27.3 inches) allows for easy accessibility. The bike’s suspension system, featuring a rake of 26.0° and a trail of 170 mm (6.7 inches), contributes to its stable handling, making it a joy to navigate both twisty roads and open highways. Riders can also choose from a stunning palette of colors, including Midnight Pearl/Brilliant Silver Pearl and Ember Red Sunglo, ensuring they can express their individuality while on the road. **
