Motorcycle specifications Harley-Davidson 1690 ELECTRA GLIDE CLASSIC FLHTC 2012 The essentials of a large vessel
presentation of the 1690 ELECTRA GLIDE CLASSIC FLHTC 2012
harley-Davidson's Touring range is plethoric, to the point of making anyone looking for an American cruiser dizzy. The range is further strengthened by the return of the Electra Glide Classic - it withdrew from the range in 2006 with the twin 1450. Now it's back on the front line with the big 103 and its 1690 cm3 displacement. It replaces theElectra Standard (which it once surpassed) and comes between the Street Glide and theUltra Limited. The big Twin Cam boasts an extra dose of torque (it's standard on the entire Touring range) and is perfectly suited to this imposing Tourer. Equipment is similar to that of the Limited , but without the same level of refinement. Bye bye leg protectors, passenger speakers and a few other odds and ends. Above all, the 1690 Classic has all the features that have made Electras famous: the Batwing protective fairing, the Tour Pak trunk with passenger backrest, a pair of side panniers, a senatorial seat and a good sound system. The twin-cylinder's vibrations will keep you singing the praises of joy throughout your journey.

It's not as modern as the latest models, but it's modern enough, and it retains a vintage style that gives it a lot of charm. With the tour pack, my partner loves to go for rides, so it's still fun to ride a motorcycle together and go off on an adventure for a weekend or more! Stéphane Rating : 4/5 Respond to Stephane
Only downside, the pachydermic weight..
Always exceptional! Rating : 4/5 Respond to YV
