Feb. 12 2025 Harley-Davidson Road Glide By Raging Bull Harley-Davidson®

If there’s one motorcycle that feels like it’s been tailored for exploring Raleigh, NC, it’s the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Road Glide®. With its winning combination of comfort, power, and technology, this touring motorcycle is a dream machine for anyone who loves the open road. So, let’s dive into what makes the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® so special and why it fits right in with the lifestyle of Raleigh riders.

At the core of the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® is the Milwaukee-Eight® 117 V-Twin engine. This powerhouse is all about delivering smooth, consistent torque that responds the moment you twist the throttle. It’s built for both cruising city streets and dominating open highways, making it versatile enough for Raleigh’s mix of urban sprawl and scenic byways.

What really stands out about this engine is its ability to balance power with control. On a ride out to the Blue Ridge Mountains or a coastal run to the Outer Banks, you’ll appreciate how effortlessly the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® handles those long stretches. 

First, let’s talk about that sharknose fairing. It’s more than just a bold design choice. This fixed fairing is engineered to improve aerodynamics and reduce wind buffeting, keeping your ride smooth and your focus sharp. Raleigh’s variable weather conditions—like sudden gusts of wind—won’t stand a chance.

Then there’s the LED lighting, which not only enhances visibility at night but also adds a sharp, modern edge to the bike’s look. You’ll turn heads wherever you go, from downtown Raleigh to the backroads of North Carolina.

Of course, H-D® gives you options to make this bike truly yours. The Factory Custom Mystic Shift paint option, for instance, changes colors depending on the light, making your bike look different every time you ride. It’s like having a bit of magic built into your motorcycle.

Riders in Raleigh know the value of a comfortable seat, and the 2025 Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® delivers. Its one-piece seat is designed for long-haul journeys but feels just as good on a quick trip across town. The handlebars are adjustable, so you can find that perfect position to keep you comfortable, whether you’re zipping through city traffic or cruising the open road.

Speaking of long rides, the saddlebags are roomy enough for a weekend getaway—or even longer. Pack your gear, snacks, and maybe a spare jacket, and you’re good to go. The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® makes sure that the only thing you’ll need to think about is where you want to ride next.

This touring motorcycle also comes loaded with tech that makes your ride easier and more enjoyable. At the center of it all is the 12.3-inch touchscreen display, which gives you access to navigation, music, and even custom ride modes. It’s clear, intuitive, and puts everything you need right at your fingertips.

And let’s talk about those ride modes. You can tailor your bike’s performance to match your preferences or the road conditions. Want a smoother throttle response for a city ride or more aggressive power for a long stretch of open highway? The 2025 Harley-Davidson® Road Glide® has you covered.

In Raleigh, where weather can sometimes be unpredictable, the bike’s traction control and ABS are real lifesavers. They adjust seamlessly to keep you safe and confident, no matter the road or the season.
