1340 Electra Glide Sport

1993 Harley-Davidson 1340 Electra Glide Sport Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Harley-Davidson for the motorcycle segment, the 1993 Harley-Davidson 1340 Electra Glide Sport pairs a 1338 cc (81.6 cu in) v2, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 60 HP (43.8 kW) at 5,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 94.2 Nm (69.4 lb-ft) at 3,600 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox. 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 Sport measures 318 kg (701 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.19 HP/kg (5.3 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 711 mm (28 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops. The 18.9-liter (5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
