Harley-Davidson FXWG Wide Glide 1340cc vs Harley-Davidson Low Rider FXS 1200cc

Harley-Davidson FXWG Wide Glide 1340cc vs Harley-Davidson Low Rider FXS 1200cc

Two Harley-Davidsons. Two icons of the custom motorcycle scene.

The FXWG Wide Glide was built to stand out. With its raked front end, pull-back handlebars and unmistakable chopper-inspired styling, it became one of the most recognisable Harley-Davidsons of the late 1970s.

The Low Rider FXS took a different approach. Lower, leaner and more performance focused, it quickly became a favourite among riders looking for a factory custom that could still handle a winding road.

Both motorcycles helped define the look of American motorcycling and remain highly sought-after classics today.

The Wide Glide delivered attitude and presence. The Low Rider offered a sportier riding experience while keeping all the character of a big Harley-Davidson V-twin.

If you could only own one, would it be the Harley-Davidson FXWG Wide Glide 1340cc or the Harley-Davidson Low Rider FXS 1200cc?
