2012 Harley-Davidson Motorcycle
When Harley-Davidson introduced the Street Glide in 2006, it wasn’t that popular, the stripped-down tourer featuring the smaller, 88 ci and five-speed transmission.
That changed in 2007, when Harley offered the Street Glide with the 96 ci and 6-Speed transmission; the motorcycle known for it’s batwing fairing and low suspension was more successful.
But Harley took the Street Glide FLHX one step further for 2012, offering it with a rubber-mounted Twin Cam 103 V-Twin engine that produces 100 ft. lbs. of torque.
Although more power, the 2012 Street Glide still arrives rolling on a single-spar, rigid backbone frame and a stout swingarm “developed to withstand the demands of long-haul touring riders and today’s powerful engines.”
The power of the Twin Cam 103 is transferred to the ground through a 6-Speed Cruise Drive transmission with integrated Isolated Drive System (IDS). And stopping all this power is a Brembo 4-piston front and rear caliper with dual front rotor brake system.
Other amenities on the 2012 Harley-Davidson Street Glide for the touring motorcyclist are air-adjustable rear shocks, full-length rider foot boards, a height-adjustable passenger footboards and a six-gallon fuel tank to go the distance.
