Harley-Davidson Softail FXDR 114 FXDRS 2018

Harley-Davidson Softail FXDR 114 FXDRS 2018

The Harley-Davidson FXDR 114 wants to assert itself as the top model of the Softail series - which is already manifested by its high price. The lightweight construction ambitions with aluminium rear end, rims and swingarm sound very forward-looking, but at 303 kilos ready to ride, the FXDR 114 fits inconspicuously into the Softail range. The brake system with double discs at the front and the best lean angle among the Softails benefit the sportiness, while the fat 240 rear tyre and the seating position with footrests positioned far forward make the FXDR 114 stand out more as a cruiser. The decisive selling point, however, is probably the cool styling, which makes the FXDR 114 the perfect showpiece.

Coherent appearance with cool details
