The Harley-Davidson Softail Standard sports Harley’s old 88B 1450cc engine, unlike the latest models. It lacks the six speed transmission, active intake and exhaust but it’s still rich with torque and character. It’s not in the same league as H-D’s liquid cooled power plants in the V-Rod family and runs out of puff once you’re much over the legal limit but the Harley-Davidson Softail Standard is an accomplished cruiser.
