2006 Harley-Davidson FLTRI Road Glide review from United States of America
"Much more solidly built than the imports"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Headlights just went out today.
Cigarette lighter fell out, maybe my fault though.
General comments?
This is my second bike, and I love it. Far more comfortable than my Yamaha, and has a much broader torque curve (bigger engine helps to). Love the fairing and it comes with a CD player (XM, MP3 ready) cruise control, and cig. lighter. Love the hard bags and was a major reason for the purchase. Also has 2 glove boxes on fairing that come in real handy.
Windshield does an OK job, but once up to speed on freeway, the wind hits your head/helmet big time and can become disorientating.
I'll update when I have more miles on it.
