## The Harley-Davidson Electra Glide: A Legend Born The Harley-Davidson Electra Glide, introduced in 1965, is a motorcycle that embodies the American spirit of freedom, power, and adventure. A direct descendant of the Duo-Glide model, the Electra Glide built upon the legacy of a comfortable, long-distance cruising experience. The Electra Glide's defining feature was the introduction of an electric starter, a revolutionary addition that made it easier to ride and appeal to a wider range of riders. This, coupled with the introduction of a full fairing, provided wind protection and comfort for extended trips, solidifying the Electra Glide's status as a touring motorcycle. With its powerful engine, comfortable ride, and iconic styling, the Electra Glide quickly became a favorite among enthusiasts, and its popularity continues to this day. The Electra Glide's iconic status is further cemented by its lasting legacy. The model served as the foundation for Harley-Davidson's iconic "batwing" fairing, a design element that has become synonymous with touring motorcycles. The Electra Glide's design has also evolved over the years, but its core values of comfort, performance, and style remain true. From its humble beginnings as a comfortable touring machine to its current status as a technologically advanced, high-performance cruiser, the Electra Glide has always represented the pinnacle of Harley-Davidson's engineering and design. This enduring legacy is reflected in the continued popularity of the Electra Glide, which remains a coveted motorcycle among enthusiasts around the world.
