The Harley-Davidson Motor Company rolls its “original stripped-down hot-rod bagger,” the base-model FLHX Street Glide, over into MY23 with its powerful Milwaukee-Eight 107 mill, fork-mount fairing, and stock hard bags. Top-shelf Showa forks deliver a plush ride for long-distance comfort, even on less-than-stellar roads. Infotainment goodies come equipped, but none of the other available ride-control electronics come stock and are only available as optional equipment at an extra charge, at least for now.

The Street Glide's roots run deep, all the way back to 2008. The FL platform itself is around a century old at this point and counting, and this model is the natural evolution of a longstanding build philosophy.
