Built around Harley-Davidson's touring motorcycle platform, the 2005 Harley-Davidson FLHTCUI Utra Classic Electra Glide relies on a 1449 cc (88.4 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, maximum torque reaches 109 Nm (80.4 lb-ft) at 3,400 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and belt final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 95.3 x 101.6 mm (3.8 x 4.0 inches) with a 8.8:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the FLHTCUI Utra Classic Electra Glide measures 372 kg (820 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 693 mm (27.3 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,592 mm (62.7 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 18.9-liter (5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
