At the heart of the 2002 Harley-Davidson FXDWG Dyna Wide Glide custom - cruiser motorcycle, Harley-Davidson features a 1449 cc (88.4 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 67 HP (48.9 kW) while maximum torque reaches 106 Nm (78.2 lb-ft) at 2,900 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 46.2 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 FXDWG Dyna Wide Glide measures 303 kg (668 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.22 HP/kg (4.52 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 680 mm (26.8 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,665 mm (65.6 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 19.7-liter (5.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 170 km/h (106 mph).
