At the heart of the 2006 Harley-Davidson FLHTCI Electra Glide Classic custom - cruiser motorcycle, Harley-Davidson pairs a 1442.2 cc (88 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 67 HP (48.9 kW) while maximum torque reaches 116.6 Nm (86 lb-ft) at 3,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 46.5 HP per liter, the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.
On the scales, the FLHTCI Electra Glide Classic measures 366 kg (807 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.18 HP/kg (5.46 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 692 mm (27.2 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,613 mm (63.5 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 18.92-liter (5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
