Harley-davidson Fltrx Road Glide

Die Harley-Davidson FLTRX Road Glide Custom wurde 2010 als abgespeckte, maßgeschneiderte Variante der Road Glide-Reihe vorgestellt. Sie verfügt über die markante, am Rahmen montierte Shark-Nose-Verkleidung, die erstmals 1998 beim ursprünglichen Road Glide zu sehen war. Sie wurde entwickelt, um Fahrer anzusprechen, die einen aggressiveren, minimalistischeren Touring-Look unter Beibehaltung der Doppelscheinwerferverkleidung wünschten. Das Modell trug dazu bei, das Interesse an der Road Glide-Serie wiederzubeleben, bevor das Angebot in den Folgejahren um die Varianten Road Glide Special und Ultra erweitert wurde.

Was Käufer wissen sollten
Watch the Cam Chain
Twin-Cam powered Road Glides (pre-2017) are known for cam chain tensioner wear — a common and costly issue if ignored. Always verify it has been inspected or upgraded before buying used.
Strong Resale Value
The FLTRX consistently holds 70-80% of its value after three years, making it one of Harley's better long-term investments. Milwaukee-Eight models (2017+) command a noticeable premium on the used market.
Shark-Nose Fairing Advantage
Unlike the Road King or Street Glide, the Road Glide's frame-mounted fairing eliminates head shake at highway speeds and provides superior wind protection. This unique design is a standout feature long-distance riders specifically seek out.

Bewertung von gebrauchten Käufern
"The definitive long-haul tourer if you budget honestly for ownership."
$14,000-$26,000 usedThe Road Glide is a genuinely different animal from a Street Glide, and that shark-nose fairing isn't just styling — it fundamentally changes how this bike handles wind at highway speeds. The frame-mounted fairing kills the head-wobble you get on fork-mounted setups, and once you've done a 400-mile day on one, going back feels like punishment. On used examples, check the infotainment system obsessively. The Harman Kardon setup on pre-2023 bikes is expensive to fix and the touchscreen goes glitchy with age. Also inspect the primary chain tensioner and listen for any top-end ticking on cold starts. Higher mileage isn't necessarily the enemy here — Milwaukees respond well to regular oil changes, and a 40,000-mile bike that's been maintained beats a 12,000-mile garage queen that sat. Budget realistically for a suspension upgrade if you're buying anything pre-2019, because the stock rear shock is genuinely embarrassing on a $20,000 motorcycle. Get the full service history, check for any recall completion, and ride it cold if you can.
