The 2010 Harley-Davidson Road Glide Custom Review
July 27th, 2010 | 
Author: For the 2009 model year, H-D transformed its venerable FLH line of touring bikes into vastly improved machines, thanks mostly to a much stiffer frame. Too bad that a slumping economy will cut into sales of the ’09 models.
However, this is still a huge market, and The Motor Company has already made a few tweaks to some of its popular touring models for 2010. We rode them around magnificent Colorado to find out how they work. Stay tuned also for a quick ride review of the new Electra Glide Ultra Limited luxury-tourer.As we learned from data shown to us at the Star Stratoliner Deluxe unveiling, the “casual full-dress” segment of touring cruisers is enjoying ever-increasing popularity, and this is largely due to Harley’s Street Glide and Road Glide. Both baggers are updated for 2010 and share a retail price of $18.999.
