In 1984, Harley-Davidson introduced a new member to their Sportster family: the FXRT 1340 Sport Glide. This bike boasted an air-cooled, 80-degree V-twin engine producing 58 horsepower at 5,000 rpm and 65 lb-ft of torque at 3,500 rpm.
The FXRT’s engine was known for its punchy low-end grunt and smooth mid-range power delivery, making it an ideal choice for riders who enjoy spirited cruising. The bike’s low seat height and lightweight frame also contributed to its agile handling.
Whether carving through twisties or cruising down the highway, the Sport Glide provided a thrilling riding experience with its responsive steering and precise suspension. With its aggressive styling, impressive performance capabilities, and comfortable ergonomics, the FXRT 1340 Sport Glide was an exciting addition to Harley-Davidson’s lineup, cementing its place as one of the most iconic bikes of the era.
