1977 Harley-Davidson FXE 1200 SuperGlide review from United States of America

Nothing major.

Bolts shook off here and there over the years.

Brakes were mis-adjusted during dealer service (Dealer picked up bike and repaired brakes).

Paint bubbled on original gas tank when new. This was replaced by the dealer.

My Harley Davidson was the 1200cc FXE SuperGlide. I believe this was the last year you could get this model equipped with both the kick and electric starter.

It was a beautiful motorcycle, great styling and a beautiful blue metallic paint job. I loved the chrome and I loved the sound of that big V-Twin.

From the first time I climbed aboard and started her up, I felt like I had traveled back in time. What a great sound and a great feel! Nothing was made for cruising like a SuperGlide.

My Harley was not as quick or as smooth as the Japanese bikes I've owned over the years, nor was it a particularly agile handler, but it cruised down the highway with a feeling you get from no other motorcycle.

The feeling of nostalgia was incredible.

What Harleys might have lacked in refinement back then, they made up for with nostalgia and that comfortable ride.

I kept her for nine years and sold her for more than I had paid for her new.

Harleys are like that!

I'm now back to riding Yamahas again, but I'll always fondly remember my SuperGlide.
