What the weight numbers tell you

Using a model-level wet weight comparison, the Harley-Davidson FLHTC Electra Glide Classic is heavier than about 52.7% of 75 Harley-Davidson touring motorcycles with compatible weight data.

Weight is not identical across every model year in this page. Use the year-specific section rather than assuming one figure applies to every FLHTC Electra Glide Classic.
The calculated power-to-weight figure is 10.16 hp per 100 lb across years with compatible data. It shows how much engine output is available relative to the bike’s mass.
