Harley-Davidson Touring description
Back for the twelfth time since its introduction in 1998, the 2010 Road Glide earns the Custom suffix, as Harley-Davidson’s engineers have decided to drop down the seat height to give the bike an even longer and lower look, in line with contemporary tastes.
To accomplish this styling goal, the rear suspension was shortened an inch, while the leading 18-inch Harley-Davidson Series Dunlop gets a lower-profile. The back end also gets a visual cleanup, and the final result is a bike that is truly striking, particularly in the retina-scorching Scarlet Red (though two flavors of black are available for those who prefer to ride something a bit more understated).
Conventional wisdom would indicate that a 63.5-inch wheelbase would be a bit ponderous around town, but that presumption is instantly disputed by reality. Thanks to the sub-30 inch seat height, low-profile front tire, frame-mounted fairing, and torquey Twin Cam 96 engine, the Road Glide Custom is remarkably agile, even in tight quarters and despite its running weight of over 800 pounds. There is no windshield to look for and the fairing, as dominating visually as it is to the off-bike observer, seems to disappear from the rider’s view.
The iconic shark-snout fairing has an aggressively aerodynamic appearance, and the 1970s muscle-car style dual headlights have a new shroud this year, so things are looking good. On the fairing sit circular analog dials keeping you abreast of fuel (capacity is six gallons), air temperature, oil pressure and battery voltage. On the bars are larger twin displays for road and motor speed (along with a few discreet warning lights).
