2021 Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® Special near Port St. Lucie FL
2021 Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® Special near Port St. Lucie FL
The Road Glide® is one of the most iconic touring motorcycles ever designed, and the Road Glide® Special enhances that package with a custom aesthetic and more performance. The Road Glide® has a frame-mounted fairing and is often contrasted with the Street Glide®, which has a fork-mounted fairing. Experienced touring enthusiasts know which one they prefer. New riders often have to learn their preference, and the team at Treasure Coast Harley-Davidson® serving Stuart Port St. Lucie Fort Pierce Florida strongly encourages riders to schedule a test ride for that very purpose. Handling characteristics, rider triangle and wind protection are all aspects that you will experience during those rides.
The Road Glide®
The Road Glide® is an old-school cruiser and one of the most popular motorcycles in the Harley-Davidson® lineup. Many touring enthusiasts agree that it is the finest tourer ever designed, and the newest model makes the most of H-D’s latest technologies to deliver even better handling and ride comfort. The defining feature of the Road Glide® is the stationary shark nose fairing. Being frame mounted means that the fairing always points straight ahead, and the forks turn independent of it. Another signature element of the Road Glide® is the dual Daymaker LED headlamps that deliver ample lighting even on unlit roads.
The Road Glide® Special
In terms of performance, the biggest difference between the base model and the 2021 Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® Special near Port St. Lucie is that the Special comes standard with the Milwaukee-Eight® 114 V-Twin engine. This means that you are getting more horsepower and torque from the get-go but also getting more headroom if you ever opt to install the available upgrade kits. As with most of the Special variants that Harley-Davidson® makes, another big difference is that almost all of the chrome found on the base model—with the exception of the engine itself—is blacked out instead. The Special also has stretched saddle bags, which provide considerably more storage space, and it comes standard with the upgraded infotainment system, which has a larger 6.5-inch touchscreen and many advanced features.
Is the Road Glide® Special the Right Bike for You?
The Road Glide® is an ideal motorcycle for the rider who desires the classic touring experience but with premium H-D features. Characteristics include a frame-mounted fairing, an upright riding position, a passenger seat, floorboards, an infotainment system and saddlebags. You also have the option of RDRS, which is discussed in detail in an upcoming section. Riders who choose the 2021 Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® Special over the standard model do so because they want the additional performance and blacked-out aesthetic. The Special also includes a number of the options available with the base bike as standard equipment, and it opens a number of two-tone paint schemes that go great with the black.
Performance
The difference between the Milwaukee-Eight® V-Twin 107 and 114 is not insignificant. It is about eight additional horsepower and 10 additional pound-feet of torque. While there is not much difference at the low end of the power curve, you will certainly feel it in the midrange and at the high end. Entering or exiting a highway or overtaking another vehicle are scenarios in which you will be glad to have the extra performance. In the event you may ever upgrade performance, the 2021 Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® Special near Port St. Lucie also gives you the benefit of even more horsepower and torque headroom.
Tech
The 2021 Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® Special is available with RDRS as a factory option. If you have never experienced RDRS, then we highly recommend test riding a Road Glide® Special with and without it. With a heavier bike like this one, you may be impressed with the difference the rider-assistance technologies can make even in good riding conditions. The infotainment upgrade is one that we often recommend to our customers, and the Special includes it standard, which we think is a big plus.
