The October issue of Motorcyclist magazine has a test on the '85
Harley Davidson "Tour Glide Classic," aka FLTC, which they conclude
is a pretty decent machine.
The part of the article that I found most interesting is the wet [sic]
weight comparison of the FLTC with three Japanese tourers, e.g.,
1985 1984 1984 1984
HD Kawasaki Honda Yamaha
FLTC ZN1300 GL1200A XVZ12D
Wet weight 772 918 790 810
(lb)
As you can see, the HD is:
15.9% lighter than the Kawasaki,
2.3% lighter than the Honda, and
4.7% lighter than the Yamaha.
My, how things change!
