Sometimes the best trip you can take is one back to the basics. The Softail® Standard is just the bike for the job. Beautiful as seen here or decked out in Genuine Motor Parts and Accessories. The simple, classic lines begin with a raked fork. Head back to the horseshoe oil tank and the unmistakable shape of a wide bobtail fender. Once there, check out the brawny 200mm rear tire — a custom touch new for this year. It feels great teamed with the taut hidden suspension. Fire up the dual-counterbalanced, silver powder-coated Twin Cam 88B™, in carb or EFI, and your primal urge to blow out of town is about to be satisfied. Just gas up and go. Nothing is more basic than that.

Everyone loves a clean-looking bike. The Heritage Softail® is a fine example. A motorcycle gleaming with simplicity. With a machine this pure, it’s only fitting we start with the heart and soul. Get a good look at the silver powder-coated Twin Cam 88B™ engine. It’s rigid-mounted and counterbalanced. Next feast your eyes on the hardtail styling. Any paint color you choose will look great with the machete tank graphics. A horseshoe oil tank and Laced wheels complete the no-nonsense look. The price is stripped-down, too — it’s the most affordable FL model. There’s even a detachable passenger pillion. Sometimes the less you see on a bike, the more there is to admire.

There’s no feeling on earth like getting in the saddle of a simple, fun machine and just letting go. Just ask anyone who’s had the pleasure of riding a Sportster® 883. It starts with a narrow, agile XL frame. From the solo seat, over the low-rise bar, you see miles of asphalt playground ahead. That and the low price of admission make you smile. Fender to fender, this machine is all Harley-Davidson. Twist the throttle and the rubber-mounted Evolution® engine instantly reminds you that you’re astride the saddle of an American legend. Classic tank. Staggered shorty dual exhaust pipes. Ready for thrills in every bend? Rider, meet Sportster. You’re about to live happily ever after.

The original VRSCA V-Rod® has caused more than its fair share of jaws to drop. Just try to peel your eyes off the aluminum bodywork, sweeping exhaust, and Machined Aluminum Disc wheels now fitted with high performance Brembo® brakes. Check out the dragster-style 49mm 38° raked fork. 180mm rear tire. Silver-leaf-coated hydroformed frame. And though there’s a spectrum of glittering paint colors, all anyone may ever see is a shiny blur. That’s because the liquid-cooled, fuel-injected 60° V-Twin Revolution® engine supplies a full 115 horses and torque from here to eternity. All that’s left is to get your boots out to the forward foot controls and enjoy the cruise.
