Harley-Davidson Street Glide

FULL OVERVIEW

2009 Harley-Davidson Street Glide — Sales Guide

The 2009 Harley-Davidson Street Glide (FLHX) is one of the most iconic baggers Harley has ever built. It blends classic touring comfort with stripped-down, aggressive styling — low windshield, stretched saddlebags, and a solid, planted stance.

Powered by the 96ci Twin Cam V-Twin, this bike delivers strong low-end torque and effortless highway cruising. It’s equally comfortable on long rides or short city runs, with a relaxed riding position and excellent stability at speed.

The Street Glide is especially popular because it’s a perfect platform: great stock, but also ideal for personalization. Riders love the balance of performance, comfort, and timeless Harley design. Clean, well-kept examples continue to hold value.

If you’re looking for a true Harley touring bike without the bulk of a full dresser, the Street Glide is the sweet spot.
