Our take on this /// Verdict
The Harley-Davidson Street Glide Special is a formidable touring machine that offers a unique blend of power, comfort, and style. From my experience, this bike excels in its ergonomics, with a seating position that feels like sitting in an armchair, making long rides incredibly comfortable. The Milwaukee V-twin engine is a powerhouse, delivering smooth and effortless power even at low RPMs. The infotainment system, including the Boombox speakers, is top-notch, providing clear music even at high speeds. However, the bikes size and low ground clearance can be challenging on Indias varied road conditions, and the heat around the legs in traffic is a notable drawback. Despite these minor issues, the Street Glide Special is a celebration of all things Harley, offering an unparalleled motorcycling experience.
Price
In India, the Harley-Davidson Street Glide Special comes with a hefty price tag. The ex-showroom price can range around 40 lakhs, but once you factor in the on-road costs, including taxes and other charges, the price can easily exceed 45 lakhs. This makes it one of the more expensive motorcycles in the Indian market. However, for those who value the Harley-Davidson brand and the unique experience it offers, the price might be justified. The premium feel, advanced features, and the sheer road presence of this bike make it a worthwhile investment for serious enthusiasts.
2024 Harley Davidson Street Glide Special on road price is Rs 43.15 lakh in Delhi, Rs 44.61 lakh in Mumbai, Rs 43.68 lakh in Kolkata and Rs 44.24 lakh in Chennai. The prices mentioned here are approximate and we suggest you contact your nearest Harley-Davidson dealership to get the exact on-road price quote in your city.

The 2024 Harley-Davidson Street Glide has been completely redesigned, featuring a new body style that was first previewed on the 2023 CVO Street Glide. The new design includes a redesigned tank, fairing, and front fender, while retaining the same frame introduced in 2009. I think this new design is a necessary update, making the bike look more modern and appealing.

Harley-Davidson has equipped the 2024 Street Glide with the powerful Milwaukee-Eight 117 cubic inch motor, which delivers 105 horsepower and 130 foot-pounds of torque. This engine, combined with a six-speed transmission, provides nearly instant power in any gear. The engine also features liquid-cooled cylinder heads for improved performance and efficiency.

The 2024 Street Glide boasts a significantly upgraded infotainment system, featuring a 12.3-inch full-color TFT display powered by Harleys Skyline OS. This new system replaces the old Boom Box system and includes an anti-glare coating, touchscreen functionality, and three display modes. It also supports Apple CarPlay but not Android Auto. I believe this new infotainment system is a major step forward in terms of technology and user experience.

The 2024 Street Glide and Road Glide models have been consolidated into a single model, replacing the previous Street Glide Standard, Special, and ST versions. This simplification aims to streamline the product lineup while retaining key features.

The new Street Glide includes advanced electronic rider aids, such as four ride modes (Rain, Road, Sport, and Tour) that can be controlled via a switch on the right handlebar. These modes adjust various parameters like throttle response, ABS sensitivity, and engine braking to suit different riding conditions.
Mileage
Tuesday, 19 November 2024 07:41 AM
When it comes to mileage, the Harley-Davidson Street Glide Special is not the most economical option. Given its large V-twin engine, the bike typically offers around 8-10 kml in mixed riding conditions. This can vary depending on how aggressively you ride and the road conditions. While it may not be the best choice for those concerned about running costs, the bikes performance and comfort make it a compelling choice for those who prioritize the riding experience over fuel efficiency.

On the other hand, the On Road Price is the actual cost you pay to the dealership to make the vehicle legal to run on the roads. It includes Ex-Showroom Price in your city + RTO Charges (Vehicle Registration) + One Time Road Tax + Insurance Charges + 1% TDS. The On-Road Price also includes some optional things like if you opt for Genuine Accessories and Extended Warranty while buying a vehicle. Please note that the On-Road Price varies a lot across different states in India due to different percentage for the State Registration Charges. |
