enthusiasts pushing this genre
forward locally are jacking up
bikes by three-plus inches for
cornering clearance and slap-
ping on stereotypical sport bike
components like Ohlins suspen-
sion, Brembo master cylinders/
calipers, and 17-inch wheels for
stickier rubber.
Pricing for the Road Glide ST
starts at $29,999 for the Vivid
Black models. Gunship Gray
is available for another $575,
and there's an optional $999
Cornering Rider Safety En-
hancements package powered
by a six-axis IMU—it features
cornering ABS, cornering trac-
tion control, linked brakes, drag
torque slip control, hill hold and
tire pressure monitors.
If a $30K Harley performance
bagger with a warranty is what
you want, then I'd consider get-
ting a base Road Glide, order-
ing the 131 c.i crate engine
(roughly $6250) and Ohlins
suspension (roughly $1400)
and going from there. I love that
Harley's thinking about offer-
ing a performance option, I just
wish they went further with the
changes.

(Left) The Road Glide ST, as in "Sport Touring," rides just like the base
Road Glide with a little more oomph and cornering clearance.
