Expert opinion and recommendation

The Harley-Davidson Road Glide Special is a formidable touring motorcycle, but it has its share of strengths and weaknesses. On the positive side, the bike offers a comfortable riding position with its mid-rise bars and a customizable display that is mostly user-friendly. The fit and finish are superior, with high-quality paint and chrome accents. However, the power plant, while strong at low revs, feels underpowered, especially when compared to the Indian Challenger, and requires significant upgrades to match its competitors. The suspension, although improved, still struggles with bumps and expansion joints, particularly at high speeds. Handling is stable at high speeds but can be cumbersome at low speeds. The sound system is also a letdown, being easily drowned out by road noise. Overall, while its a nice bike, it falls short in several key areas, making the Indian Challenger a more appealing option for long-distance touring.

Latest Updates

Recent news and announcements

The 2024 Harley-Davidson Road Glide has undergone significant upgrades, including a new Milwaukee-Eight 117 V-Twin engine with an optimized cooling system, reducing heat for the riders legs. The bike also features selectable Ride Modes (Road, Sport, Rain, and Custom) and a 12.3-inch TFT color touch screen. Improved aerodynamics and a redesigned one-piece seat enhance rider comfort. I think these updates make the Road Glide an even more compelling choice for long-distance touring.

Potential buyers considering the 2023 Road Glide Special versus the 2024 model are weighing the benefits of new technology against proven reliability. The 2024 model offers significant upgrades, including new ride modes and advanced infotainment, but some are cautious about the unproven tech. I think the decision ultimately depends on whether you prefer the latest innovations or the reliability of an established model.

The 2024 Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide ST is highlighted as the quickest, fastest, and most sophisticated performance bagger, featuring a Milwaukee-Eight 121 High Output V-Twin engine with 127 horsepower and 145 lb. ft. of torque. This model includes premium paint choices and exclusive graphics. I believe the CVO Road Glide ST sets a new benchmark for performance and style in the bagger category.
January 24, 2024
Harley-Davidson has revealed the 2024 Road Glide with an all-new visual design, combining a cohesive dynamic flow from the front fenders to the saddlebags. The bike is more powerful, lighter, and features an evolved fairing profile that retains Harley-Davidsons design DNA. The infotainment system is powered by Skyline OS, and a new 200-watt audio amplifier enhances the riding experience. I believe the modern design and advanced technology make this bike a standout in the grand touring segment.
January 24, 2024
For the 2024 model year, the Harley-Davidson Road Glide includes advanced features such as improved aerodynamics, which reduce helmet buffeting by 60%, and increased rear suspension travel for better comfort. The bike also boasts a full-color, embedded touch screen and customizable dash options. The liquid-cooled cylinder heads help in navigating low-speed situations and hot weather fluctuations. I think these enhancements make the Road Glide a top choice for riders seeking both performance and comfort.

Mileage

Fuel efficiency information

When it comes to mileage, the Harley-Davidson Road Glide Special is not particularly frugal. Given its large V-twin engine and heavy weight, fuel efficiency is not its strong suit. In Indian conditions, you can expect an average mileage of around 15-20 kml, depending on the riding style and road conditions. This is relatively standard for a bike of its size and power output but may not be ideal for those looking to cover long distances without frequent fuel stops. However, for those who prioritize the riding experience and comfort over fuel efficiency, the Road Glide Special still offers a compelling package. ABOUT The Harley-Davidson Road Glide Special is a quintessential American touring motorcycle designed to cruise down highways in comfort and style. It features a frame-mounted fairing, which helps in reducing the weight on the handlebars and improving high-speed stability. The bike is powered by Harleys Milwaukee-Eight engine, which delivers strong low-down power but may feel underpowered compared to some competitors. The suspension, though improved, can be soft and may bottom out over rough roads. The bike also comes with a customizable display and a sound system, although the latter is somewhat inadequate. The Road Glide Special is ideal for those who value the iconic Harley-Davidson design and the comfort it offers for long-distance touring, despite some limitations in performance and handling. Its massive frame, comfortable seat, and wide bars make it a great choice for riders who prioritize comfort and style over outright performance. However, its crucial to consider the Indian Challenger as a strong alternative, especially if youre looking for better suspension, handling, and braking performance.
