It really is a beautiful motorcycle. The 'Big Blue Pearl' paint looks about 75mm thick out in the sun. Plus it has that classic Touring Chassis Harley line. Stunning.
We'll be fitting it up with a few accessories and doing some tours, day rides and general cruising about on the bike in SE Queensland over the next three months.
We'll shoot a heap of video and take tons of pics as well. This first batch are from the pocket camera that I grabbed as I headed out the door on my way to collect the bike at Morgan & Wacker in Brisbane.So, for starters here's what Harley have to say about the bike. The official line:
Think of it as “touring with attitude”: a combination of bold, stripped-down, street-wise style with just enough long-haul amenities to get you wherever you want to go in comfort.
The Street Glide® hot-rod bagger boasts a slammed, low profile from the blackened, “chopped” wind deflector to the low, clean lines of the rear fender and bags. The traditional bat-wing fairing gets a distinctive edge with integrated side mirrors, keeping the visual style uncluttered and pure.
Behind that fairing you’ll find the performance and features you’ve come to expect from Harley-Davidson: a 40-watt Harmon/Kardon® Advanced Audio System, silver- faced gauges, chrome low-profile tank console, optional electronic cruise control and more.
Moving all that style down the road is the new, standard Twin Cam 103TM engine and smooth shifting 6-Speed Cruise Drive® transmission. And riders can upgrade straight from the factory with the Security Package Options, featuring an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Smart Security System bundled for outstanding value.
