Dyna Super Glide Sport

1999 Harley-Davidson Dyna Super Glide Sport Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in Harley-Davidson's custom - cruiser motorcycle lineup, the 1999 Harley-Davidson Dyna Super Glide Sport relies on a 1449 cc (88.4 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 68 HP (49.6 kW) at 5,400 rpm while maximum torque reaches 106 Nm (78.2 lb-ft) at 2,900 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 46.9 HP per liter and a 2,500 rpm working window between peak torque (2,900 rpm) and peak power (5,400 rpm), the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.

On the scales, the Dyna Super Glide Sport measures 300 kg (661 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.23 HP/kg (4.41 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 700 mm (27.6 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,607 mm (63.3 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 18.6-liter (4.9 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 6.8 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 274 km (170 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 178 km/h (111 mph).
