Harley-davidson Road Glide Limited Review

Used Buyer Review

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.
