Harley Davidson FLSTC Heritage Softail Classic (2009)

Harley Davidson FLSTC Heritage Softail Classic (2009)

In the world of motorcycles, there’s no lineup quite like the Harley-Davidson Softail family. From the rugged Cross Bones to the iconic Fat Boy, each model boasts its own unique style and attitude.

At the heart of every Softail lies a rigid-mounted, counter-balanced Twin Cam 96B powertrain that creates an unbreakable bond between rider and machine. The result is an exhilarating riding experience that’s as much about feeling the road as it is about raw power.

The refreshed FLSTC Heritage Softail Classic takes this philosophy to new heights with a range of subtle styling tweaks and innovative components that evoke the classic spirit of motorcycling. With its beefy front end, chrome nacelle, and sleek lines, this bike is an ode to the golden age of Harley-Davidson.

The culmination of these design elements and a powerful 6-speed Cruise Drive transmission makes for a ride that’s as smooth as it is thrilling. Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI) takes care of the rest, providing effortless acceleration, crisp throttle response, and effortless cruising – all in one complete package.
