Built around Ridley's classic motorcycle platform, the 2009 Ridley Auto-Glide Classic relies on a 721 cc (44 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke powerplant. Internal engine geometry specifies a 8.5:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Auto-Glide Classic measures 208.7 kg (460 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 622 mm (24.5 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops. The 15.89-liter (4.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
Within MotoLibrary's Ridley archive, this model family spans 4 indexed model years from 2006 to 2009, allowing buyers to track year-over-year changes in emissions tuning, weight and equipment.
