Harley recently revealed its big bike Heritage Softail Classic in India,just at the right time when bike enthusiast no longer hesitate to shed lakhs on these big boys.HD best known for its cruisers has created a pure match winner with the Softail.Outfitted with a mid-height windshield, floorboards, and leather bags festooned with conchos, it is easy to peg the Heritage Softail Classic as strictly a touring mount.
Powered by a 1,690 cc air-cooled V-Twin powerhouse,the devil creates a maximum torque of 130Nm at 3000 rpm.
One striking feature of this bike,which is becoming quite common amongst the luxury bikes is the Anti Lock Braking system,adds a sense of safety and assurance while driving in unexpected conditions.But this feature comes optional in the Security package.Softail is also available without the ABS feature.Additionally the windshield is detachable and gives this bike a completely different look when removed.
Despite being classified as a “custom-touring” bike by Harley, the ergonomics favor frequent stops. In addition to the constant vibration of the motor, the mid-size windshield is prone to buffeting the rider and shaking the bars, so the Heritage is not meant for draining the five-gallon tank without a break.
The seat, which sits a comfortable 27 inches above the pavement, is happy to sponsor an all-day ride. It’s a pleasurable perch for your rear, and the step-up separate passenger seat gives some fatigue-reducing lower-back support.
