The Harley-Davidson Low Rider was a cruiser motorcycle in H-D's range that debuted in 1977, with a classic cruiser design and a long, low frame that offered a relaxed riding position.
Also, the Harley-Davidson Low Rider was an instant success, unlike the Super Glide, and outsold every other machine in Harley-Davidson's range in its first full year of production.
In 1982, the American motorcycle manufacturer launched the Harley-Davidson Low Rider, a cruiser motorcycle that packed many similarities with its predecessors. The single major upgrade was received in 1980, introducing a larger engine that delivered more performance.
In the visual department, the 1982 Harley-Davidson Low Rider featured classic-looking elements, such as a teardrop-shaped fuel tank, a wide, pulled-back handlebar, and a two-into-one chromed exhaust system that provided a deep rumbling chopper sound.
As for power, the Low Rider had its soul brought to life by a1,337cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine with a 38 mm Keihin carburetor in charge, boasting 67 hp at 5,800 rpm and 91 Nm (67 lb-ft) torque with a maximum peak force at 3,600 rpm.
The braking and suspension systems were carried from its predecessor, with a telescopic fork, two discs on the front, and dual shock absorbers with a single disc on the rear, delivering optimum suspension performance and stopping power.
