DYNO VIDEO: 2014 Harley-Davidson Softail Deluxe

Harley's Softail Deluxe has a cool vintage vibe, even when it's painted the Hard Candy Custom Voodoo Purple (a $1,400 option!) seen here. Although the Softail Deluxe ($19,759, as tested) boasts good steering geometry, the potential for cornering fun is negated by floorboards that scrape at the first hint of good lean angle. Nevertheless, we were impressed by the excellent finish quality of this Harley, which is built with smaller riders in mind. For the record, our Dynojet dyno tells us that the air-cooled Twin Cam 103 in the Softail Deluxe produces 70.9 horsepower at 5,250 rpm, along with 87.2 pound-feet of torque at 3,090 rpm. Power reaches the rear wheel via a slick-shifting six-speed transmission. Top speed of the Softail Deluxe: 113 mph.
