In 2003, the American motorcycle manufacturer launched the Harley-Davidson Low Rider, a classic American cruiser motorcycle that debuted in 1977 and remained essentially unchanged in the appearance department.
The bike was also designated as FXDL and was known for its distinctive classic style and powerful performance. It had a low-slung profile with a pulled-back handlebar, low seating position, and mid-mounted foot controls, delivering a laid-back, relaxed riding experience.
The features that added to its classic styling were used since its beginning, including a wide handlebar, a round headlight with a chromed housing, a teardrop-style fuel tank, a one-piece dual seat, and a chromed exhaust system, along with other chromed accessories, such as engine covers, head covers, and cooling fins.
The bike's handling was achieved by a tubular steel frame with a 39 mm telescopic fork in the front and dual side-mounted shock absorbers on the rear, offering a comfortable riding experience.
As for the stopping power, the 2003 Harley-Davidson low Rider was fitted with a 292 mm disc on the front and one on the rear, coupled to hydraulic calipers, offering optimum braking performance.
As for power, the Low Rider had its heartbeat set by a 1,449cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine with 67 hp available at the rider's wrist with a peak force at 5,200 rpm and 107 Nm (79 lb-ft) torque at 3,300 rpm.
