The 1980 MY Harley Davidson FLHS Electra Glide is a new embodiment of the classic cruiser, where the S stands for sport, promising more thrills then any of its previous embodiments. This machine has been stripped down, for a lower dry weight and a sportier feel, and has been fitted with ape-hanger handlebars, for a more relaxed riding position.

In the engine department it is powered by an air-cooled, four-stroke, 1337cc, 45-degree V-Twin powerplant that was paired to a five-speed manual transmission with a belt final drive, and can reach a maximum power output of 65 horsepower and 94 Nm of torque.
