The Harley-Davidson Low Rider was a cruiser motorcycle, part of the Dyna family in H-D's range, also known as the FXDL. The bike debuted in 1977, and over its production period, it received several design changes and displacement increases.
In 2009, the American motorcycle manufacturer launched the Harley-Davidson Low Rider, a machine that provided a low center of gravity with a low seat height, a low-profile suspension with a raked-out fork, a pulled-back handlebar with mid-mounted control, and standard highway footpegs that added to its ergonomics.
The 2009 Harley-Davidson Low Rider featured several improvements, including a silver-face speedometer with a fuel range read-out, a new fuel sender, and a low-profile front fender with a smaller gap between the tire and fender, offering a low-profile front fender.
In the power department, the 2009 Harley-Davidson Low Rider had its soul brought to life by a 1,584cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine with electronic fuel injection in charge, delivering smooth engine response, fast acceleration and 125 Nm (92 lb-ft) torque with a peak force at 3,000 rpm.
The bike's suspension was handled by a 49 mm telescopic fork with a polished aluminum triple clamp on the front. In contrast, the rear end was operated by dual side-mounted shock absorbers on the rear, offering a comfortable riding experience.
As for braking, the bike was fitted with a 300 mm disc and a four-piston caliper on the front wheel. It packed a 292 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear, delivering solid and reliable stopping power.
