We ride the big bagger in Harley-Davidson's Touring range, the 2019 Harley-Davidson Street Glide Special. Whether you're a fan of big cruisers or not, the Street Glide Special has an irresistible charm.[br][br][br]
[br][br]Highlights[br][br]Prices for the H-D Street Glide Special begin at Rs. 30.53 lakh[br][br][ul][li]The H-D Street Glide Special gets the Milwaukee-Eight 1,868 cc engine[br][/li][/ul][ul][li]The 2019 Street Glide Special gets a new infotainment system and engine[br][/li][/ul]I'm riding the 2019 Harley-Davidson Street Glide Special along the highway, with my phone paired to the new infotainment system, the speakers blaring out the ideal music - a decently fast-paced guitar rhythm suitably complemented by lyrics in a nonchalant drawl, "This ain't no upwardly mobile freeway, oh no, this is the road to hell." [br][br]As the Harley's speed increases, the volume automatically adjusts according to speed and engine noise. At that very moment, it struck me what the 2019 Harley-Davidson Street Glide Special is all about. Every second guy who swears by motorcycles will tell you that it's 'freedom' that they look for and find when they are with their bikes, and out riding on a long road. [br][br]If that is the definition of freedom, then a big Harley bagger and a long open highway is as close as you get to feel 'free'.[br][br][br]
[br][br]The Street Glide Special gets a new touchscreen infotainment system and a new 1,868 cc v-twin engine.[br][br]The Harley-Davidson Street Glide Special, one of the most popular cruisers in Harley-Davidson's Touring range, gets updated for 2019. It now gets the bigger Miwaukee-Eight 114 engine, with a displacement bump to 1,868 cc, and also sports a new 6.5-inch Boom! Box GTS Infotainment system, with touch screen sensitivity, and a range of new features. [br][br]It still retains that "look at me" appeal, and it's a proper highway star too, ready for munching hundreds of kilometres in a day for that inter-state trip you probably have been planning for. We rode the 2019 Harley-Davidson Street Glide Special for a few days, in the city, on the highway, and well, we can say, it's quite an experience only a big Harley can give you.[br][br][br]Source: Car & Bike AN NDTV VENTURE |
