Harley-davidson Road Glide Limited

The Harley-davidson Road Glide Limited has a top speed of 185 km/h (estimated; note: electronically limited in some markets), produces 93 hp and weighs 389 kg. Motoryk rates it 8.5/10.

Die Road Glide Limited ist Teil der Touring-Familie von Harley-Davidson. Die Road Glide-Linie geht auf die FLT Tour Glide von 1980 zurück, die sich eher durch ihre am Rahmen montierte Haifischnasenverkleidung als an einer Gabel auszeichnet. Die „Limited“ -Ausstattung wurde in den 2010er Jahren als Premium-Variante eingeführt und bietet erweiterte Annehmlichkeiten wie einen größeren 6,5-Zoll-Infotainment-Touchscreen, Premium-Audio sowie zusätzliche Chrom- und Komfortfunktionen. Sie zeichnet sich nach wie vor durch geringere Windstöße im Vergleich zu Gabelverkleidungen aus und ist die erste Wahl für Langstreckenfahrer.

Was Käufer wissen sollten

💰

Strong Resale Value

The Road Glide Limited holds its value exceptionally well, typically retaining 70-80% of its original price after three years. Its premium trim level and loyal fanbase make it one of Harley's most liquid assets on the used market.

⚠️

Watch the Infotainment System

The BOOM! Box GTS infotainment system is feature-rich but has been known to experience software glitches and occasional touchscreen responsiveness issues. Verify all electronics function properly before purchasing a used model.

🔧

Milwaukee-Eight Reliability

The Milwaukee-Eight 114 engine powering the Road Glide Limited is widely considered one of Harley's most reliable and refined motors, running notably cooler than older Twin Cam engines. Oil consumption should still be monitored, as some owners report minor seepage around gaskets over time.

Long-distance riders wanting serious two-up comfort

"The best used touring Harley money can buy, bought carefully."

$18,000-$28,000 used

The Road Glide Limited is the touring Harley that actually makes sense to buy used. The shark-nose fairing cuts wind better than the Street Glide at highway speeds, and the frame-mounted setup means your head isn't vibrating loose after four hours on the interstate. Find one with the Milwaukee-Eight 114 or 117 — anything older with the Twin-Cam needs serious scrutiny of maintenance records. These motors will go 100,000 miles if treated right, but neglected ones will nickel-and-dime you into therapy. Check the infotainment system carefully. The BOOM! Box units are temperamental, and dealer updates run money. Inspect the lower fairings for parking lot tipover damage — owners drop these at standstills embarrassingly often. Tires and brakes on used examples are almost always due immediately, budget accordingly. The linked Reflex brakes are genuinely excellent once you trust them. For sheer long-distance comfort and road presence, nothing at this price point touches it. Just buy with a known service history or walk away.
