HARLEY-DAVIDSON Low Rider (1994-1995) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Harley-Davidson was a major American motorcycle manufacturer founded in 1903 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States. Alongside Indian Motorcycles, Harley-Davidson survived the Great Depression and various ownership arrangements, subsidiary arrangements, poor economic periods, health and product quality, and global competition.

In 1994, the American motorcycle manufacturer launched the Harley-Davidson Low Rider, a cruiser machine also known as FXDL that replaced the FXRS Low Rider. The bike offered a classic American look and delivered long-distance comfortability.

In the aesthetic department, the bike's classic appearance was enhanced by its wide handlebar, raked-out front fork, round headlight with a chromed housing, teardrop-shaped fuel tank, one-piece dual seat, a two-into-two exhaust system, and nine-spoke lightweight wheels.

The 1994 Harley-Davidson Low Rider had its soul brought to life by a 1,337cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine with a 40 mm Keihin carburetor feeding both pistons, boasting 58 hp with a peak force at 4,900 rpm and 86 Nm (64 lb-ft) torque with maximum strength at 2,400 rpm.

In addition, the bike's five-speed transmission also allowed effortless gear changes and offered riders the best balance of power and control on city streets and the open highway. The gearbox was linked to the rear wheel through a final belt drive that reduced the mechanical noise.

The 1994 Harley-Davidson Low Rider was built on a steel frame with a telescopic fork on the front and a dual side-mounted shock absorber on the rear, offering optimum suspension performance and handling.
