A Quick Overview

The traditional Harley-Davidson diehards will be familiar with most of the Harley-Davidson motorcycle lineups including the Cruiser and Grand American Touring bikes. But those new to Harley-Davidson may want a better understanding of what separates these motorcycles, what their purpose is, and who the ideal rider would be. Let’s dive in and take a look at the six different model lineups from Harley-Davidson.

Harley-Davidson Sport Bikes

Lead by the legendary Sportster, the Harley-Davidson Sport lineup provides iconic design and authentic sound. If you’re looking to blast through city streets and carve through mountains, these bikes were built for you.

There are two models within the Sport lineup: the Nightster and the Sportster S.

The Nightster is designed to be nimble and fast with reduced weight. It’s equipped with a liquid-cooled, torque focused Revolution Max engine. The styling is classic and contemporary that appeals to a wide array of riders.

The Harley-Davidson Sportster S features selectable ride modes, rider safety enhancements, LED lighting, a 6-speed transmission and more.

The Nightster is rooted in a legacy of strength and authenticity. It has razor-sharp handling and a powerful Revolution Max engine. The exposed dual rear shocks look exceptional with the 19-inch front wheel and 16-inch rear wheel. The most obvious resemblance to the Sportster lineage is the classic Sportster model fuel tank.

The iconic Harley-Davidson Cruiser bikes are some of the most recognizable motorcycles in the industry. They feature the Iron 883, Forty-Eight, Fat Boy 114, Street Bob 114, Low Rider S, Softail Standard, Heritage Classic, Low Rider El Diablo, Low Rider ST, and the Fat Bob 114.
