Up Close With The 2022 Harley-Davidson Road Glide® Special
The Harley-Davidson Road Glide finds its roots in the iconic Tour Glide model which was first introduced in 1979. By 1998, the model transitioned into the Road Glide and remains one of the Motorco’s most popular Grand American Touring bikes to this day.
Perhaps its most notable feature is a fixed fairing... attached to the frame which offers a stationary look and feel that provides excellent aerodynamics and a great look. The fairing is responsible for the Road Glide's nickname of “Shark” because of its resemblance to a shark.
This years Road Glide offering includes the 2022 Road Glide® Special pictured here in this stunning Apex color option which features ghosted Bar & Shield graphics. Here’s a few highlights.
