👋 Introduction

Harley Davidson Touring Segment:

The 2007 Harley-Davidson Touring models represent the pinnacle of the brand's long-distance cruising and touring capability. Positioned as premium, large-displacement motorcycles, they are designed for comfort, style, and extensive customization, appealing to riders who prioritize the classic American V-twin experience and the ability to cover long distances in comfort.

Touring Motorcycle Segment:

In 2007, Harley-Davidson's Touring bikes competed primarily with American V-twin offerings from brands like Indian (though less prominent at the time) and, to a lesser extent, European and Japanese manufacturers in the touring segment, such as BMW (K-series RT), Honda (Gold Wing, ST1300), and Kawasaki (Concours 14). The Harley-Davidson appeal lies in its distinct V-twin engine character, extensive customization options, and iconic styling.

Touring Platform Highlights:

Key features of the 2007 Touring platform include the powerful Twin Cam 96™ engine, Cruise Drive® 6-speed transmission, integrated fairings and saddlebags for luggage capacity, comfortable seating for rider and passenger, and a robust chassis designed for stability and handling. The model variations offer different levels of comfort, features, and styling from the stripped-down Road King to the fully-accessorized Ultra Classic.
