Australian Road Rider Bike Guide 93

Tourers

You’re looking at the answer to the question, how do you fully load a touring bike with

premium features and still roll with the stripped-down bagger look? Check inside the

sleek batwing fairing and you’ll get an idea. You’re looking at the top-of-the-line 6.5in

touchscreen infotainment system and BOOM! Box 6.5 GT audio system. Then check out

the details: colour-matched fairing skirt, 19in Enforcer front wheel, custom rear taillight

and fascia. The list goes on. Yeah, it’s stripped down, but the Street Glide Special is loaded.

This is what happens when grand touring arrives at the very top of the mountain

of comfort and style. Power, custom features and premium audio for the rider who

wants it all.

VERDICT: FIND THE PERFECT LONGITUDE, LATITUDE AND ATTITUDE

Those who appreciate the aggressive look and wind-cutting power of the frame-

mounted shark nose fairing and dual Daymaker Refl ector LED headlamps on the Road

Glide Special model wouldn’t ride anything else. And now the ride gets even more

aggressive thanks to the all-new Milwaukee-Eight 107 engine and all-new suspension.

The Special features the top-of-the-line 6.5in touchscreen infotainment system with

integrated GPS and the BOOM! Box 6.5 GT audio system, standard ABS, a glossy black

inner fairing and colour-matched fairing skirt.

Endless ideas, millions of miles of riding and hundreds of conversations have led to

this horizon-hunting machine. Think saddlebags that open with one touch. A fairing

that reduces head buffeting. More passing power. Top-of-the-line infotainment and

sound. More passenger room. Set the touchscreen GPS to your coordinates and go.
