2011 Harley Davidson Touring Model Overview

The 2011 Harley-Davidson Touring models are an exceptional line of
powerful motorcycles. For many years, it was the big hogs (dressers,
touring bikes, whatever you chose to call them) and then the Sportsters.
Surely there are those who, when you said Harley, knew nothing more
than these big, V-twin machines. Back then, they had knuckle head
motors, droopy leather saddle bags with fringes that scraped the ground
when you rode, and a large seat that looked like it was made for a farm
tractor, which could seat two, if absolutely necessary.

Although similar to past vehicles, the big Harley Touring bikes come
in a wide variety of styles and colors. All are powered by the twin cam
1802cc engine. Bear in mind, each of these Harley-Davidson vehicles can
be ordered with customization. Go to www.harley-davidson.com for a full 360-degree view.

Here’s a short description of the eight 2011 Harley-Davidson Touring motorcycles.

Road King

The Road King is a comfortable road/street bike featuring a
windshield, big chrome forks, twin rear tour-pak storage, and the
famously large chrome Harley headlamp and twin side lamps. You can order
it with chrome aluminum laced or cast wheels. The gas tank and massive
front fender just beg for a great paint job. Own one for about $17,000.

Road King Classic

The Road King Classic had no windshield, shorter handlebars than the
Road King, leather saddle bag-type rear storage, and wide white wall
tires. A Classic, the bike also features steel laced or chrome aluminum
laced wheels — you choose. Besides some attractive solid colors, you
can two tone your bike with Dark Candy Root Beer over Light Candy Root
Beer. Or Psychedelic Purple over Vivid Black. Or Apple Green over Vivid
Black. Prices for the Road King Classic begin at around $19,500.

Street Glide

The Street Glide is a street bike only in name because it has
tour-pak storage, a faring and windshield, and enough mass to take you
down any highway. Wheels are five-spoke cast aluminum and the front
fender just begs to show off a custom color. Prices for the 2011 Street
Glide start at about $19,000.

Road Glide Custom

This great touring bike comes standard with a Shark Nose fairing and
top-quality, tour-pak type GTX saddlebags. Only solid colors here,
including Vivid Black, Black Denim, Cool Blue Pearl and Sedona Orange.
Your price: approximately $19,000.

Electra Glide Classic

Classic – more like classical – this phenomenal Electra Glide has a
number of features standard. These include fairing, buddy seat and
storage compartment, tour-pak type saddlebags, and solid chrome accent
bars. Wheels choices are: cast aluminum or chrome aluminum profile
laced. One two-tone paint scheme is available on the Electra Glide
Classic: Cool Blue Pearl over Vivid Black; your other choices are
beautiful solid colors. Buy one for about $19,000.

Ultra Classic Electra Glide

Now we’re getting into the true King of the Road. The Ultra Classic
Electra Glide has a full fairing plus windshield, buddy seat, eleven
color choices, including two with complementary pin striping, and steel
or aluminum wheels. Prices start at about $21,000.

Electra Glide Ultra Limited

Great electronics, full buddy seat, classic Electra Glide styling –
riding in this Road Master compares favorably to piloting a cabin
cruiser.  Available in just one solid color (Vivid Black), you have five
two-tone color choices from the factory. Starting price is $23,699
MSRP.

Road Glide Ultra

With the Shark Nose fairing, this beauty sets you off immediately
from the crowd. Another Electra Glide choice, the Road Glide Ultra
features a large 6-gallon gas tank, hefty front fender, tour pak-type
storage, full buddy seat, and classic paint. Its price is about
$22,500.
