Shaped by nearly 60 years of heritage and stripped to the essential elements of a pure riding machine, the new Harley-Davidson Roadster motorcycle makes a bold visual statement even when standing still.

“Since its introduction in 1957, the Harley-Davidson Sportster has proved capable of constant reinvention, and the Roadster writes a new chapter in that story,” said Harley-Davidson director of styling Brad Richards.

The Roadster delivers modern performance with a combination of new wheels and tyres mated to premium suspension components contributing to its balanced, athletic stance and an air-cooled 1200cc V-Twin engine that delivers a strong pulse of mid-range torque.

Outstanding stopping power is achieved with dual floating rotors on the front wheel and ABS brakes are offered as a standard. The Roadster puts its rider in an aggressive posture with a new low-rise handlebar and mid-mount foot controls that centre the rider’s weight over the classic profile of the 12.5litre Sportster fuel tank.

The cover features a series of pads inspired by an armoured leather jacket, and the rear of the seat is designed as a passenger pillion, to give the Roadster added versatility. The Harley-Davidson Roadster model will be offered in four colour choices.
