1995 Harley-Davidson 1340 Electra Glide Road King Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around Harley-Davidson's custom - cruiser motorcycle platform, the 1995 Harley-Davidson 1340 Electra Glide Road King features a 1338 cc (81.6 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 60 HP (43.8 kW) at 5,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 94.1 Nm (69.4 lb-ft) at 3,600 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 44.8 HP per liter and a 1,400 rpm working window between peak torque (3,600 rpm) and peak power (5,000 rpm), the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.

On the scales, the 1340 Electra Glide Road King measures 314 kg (692 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.19 HP/kg (5.23 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 749 mm (29.5 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops.
