Positioned in Harley-Davidson's touring motorcycle lineup, the 2009 Harley-Davidson FLTR Road Glide utilizes a 1584 cc (96.7 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, maximum torque reaches 125 Nm (92.2 lb-ft) at 3,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and belt final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 95.3 x 111.1 mm (3.8 x 4.4 inches) with a 9.2:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the FLTR Road Glide measures 378 kg (833 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 683 mm (26.9 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 22.71-liter (6 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 5 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 454 km (282 miles) between fill-ups.
