ROAD

How’s it going Full Throttle readers! Keigan here again. I want to start by thanking everyone who showed up to our Khrome Werks seminar. We had an awesome turn out and the donations for 5 Acres Animal Shelter were greatly appreciated. The riding season is getting ready to kick off for 2023 and man do we have some awesome events planned at the dealership this year. I can’t wait to get the season going.

With this being the 120th Anniversary of Harley Davidson we knew there was going to be some magic coming from Milwaukee with the 2023 model launch, and they didn’t disappoint.

Some of the features you’ll find on the Road Glide 3 are the electric reverse, something people dearly miss on some of the heavier models. The next feature is the enormous storage capacity in the trunk. This trunk has its lid mounted on the top which allows it to give the owner a storage capacity of over 56 liters. This added storage is something other cruiser models struggle with.

The Road Glide 3 is powered by the loved 114 cubic inch Milwaukee 8 power train. This 114 delivers 90HP and 119lb-ft of torque, which is going to be plenty of power to get out of a sticky situation or to leave your buddies in your taillights. The combined power package on the Road Glide 3 gives this trike an impressive 43mpg. The larger platform for this bike allowed Harley to incorporate additional
