Rider Profile

Best For	This bike suits experienced riders who are comfortable managing a heavy, long-wheelbase machine at low speeds and in traffic.
Purpose	It's built for covering long interstate miles in comfort with a fairing-mounted stereo and storage rather than for quick errands or sport riding.
Rider Fit	At 838 lb wet with a long 64-inch wheelbase, it demands a taller, stronger rider confident with its bulk at parking-lot speeds.
Character	It delivers a torquey, unhurried V-twin cruising experience wrapped in Harley's signature bagger touring style.
Not Ideal For	It's not for riders seeking nimble cornering, off-road capability, or a lightweight, flickable ride.

At 684mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 1998 Harley-Davidson Road Glide, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 degrees and a slightly forward riding position.

Data quality: estimated (wheelbase estimated from this category's typical bike, not this model's own spec).
