Updated Features for 2015 Harley-Davidson Police Motorcycles

    TAMPA, FL, June 18, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Harley-Davidson has been producing police motorcycles for more than 106 years for the officers that work to serve and protect our nation. Harley continues its tradition with its new 2015 model lineup that offers updated features, competitive performance and excellent value. (1)

Known the world over as the vehicle of choice for motor officers, the 2015 H-D Police Motorcycle lineup (2) includes three performance machines: (3) the legendary Electra Glide, the Road King for great value and the XL 883L for community policing. (2)

All three models received updated features and technical improvements for the new model year, including enhanced performance, improved handling and visibility, top-notch stopping power and expanded hand controls, (1) all of which are deemed necessary for today's police riders. (2)

For example, those that choose to ride a new H-D Police Motorcycle will benefit from a responsive and agile bike with a 29-degree steering head angle and a lighter open-concept wheel for better handling and control. (1)

Each model must also provide the best visibility for motor officers. (3) For this reason, the new Road King features dual halogen lamps with a 1,570-lumen high beam for powerful lights that illuminate the scene. Daymaker LED headlights are included on the new 2015 Electra Glide motorcycle. (1)

As for performance, officers can expect a 6 percent increase in horsepower and 4 percent more torque (compared to 2014 models) from the air-cooled, high-output twin cam 103 engine (2) equipped on new 2015 Electra Glide and Road King vehicles. (1) With a total 104.7 pound-feet of torque available to the driver, (2) officers can now enjoy enhanced zero to 70 mile per hour acceleration, which ultimately means better passing power. (1)
