Harley-Davidson Touring Road Glide Special FLTRXS 2020

Harley-Davidson Touring Road Glide Special FLTRXS 2020

The Road Glide Special is good proof that it works very well to combine tradition with modernity in a very unobtrusive way. Visually, of course, the "Sharknose" catches the eye - whether you like it or not, it is unique. Inside, on the other hand, the most modern technology is installed: A combined ABS brake, traction control, LED headlights, a powerful infotainment system and the powerful 114 cubic inch (1868 cubic metres) V2 engine, which stomps so wonderfully, as it should for a Harley. The thick Murl allows very low-revving riding, and the enormous torque of 163 Newton metres delivers enough pressure in any situation. Only the high weight and the lack of reverse gear can sometimes cause problems when stopping and manoeuvring.

Honda VFR 1200 F 2010

Like the other Honda models in the test, the VFR is also convincing on the brakes and has no weaknesses when it comes to safety. It's just a shame that you have to refuel every 300 kilometres.

Mechanical dual-clutch transmission

incomparable acceleration feel

sporty driving style

sophisticated technology.

Extremely high consumption of urine.
