Under blue skies on dry roads, the new Sport Glide made light work of the wonderful roads up and across Tenerife’s volcano, through its dramatic other-worldly landscape.<\/p>\n
Despite many common components, it is a very different proposition to the model upgrades that were announced in August \u2013 park it next to a 107-inch Heritage Classic and you’ll see more differences than similarities, despite sharing a common platform \u2013 but that is its big achievement.<\/p>\n
Yes, I was surprised that it didn’t come in the 114-inch option or twin front discs \u2013 in view of its name, if nothing else \u2013 and I wouldn’t be remotely surprised if it was followed by a Sport Glide S (well, they could hardly call it a Sport Glide Sport) at some point in the future, but it’s a very capable bike without them.<\/p>\n

A Harley for a new generation of riders?<\/p>\n
Yes, and one that will have a lot of appeal for their traditional fans too.<\/p>\n
