A Whole Lot of Style

Every Softail comes with authentic custom style with attitude to spare. They’re the very image of classic American motorcycle muscle, easily recognizable by their laid-back riding posture. You’ll have a hard time blending in when in the saddle. Extended front fork and flashy finishes make for even more head-turning appeal. Whether you want a 60s throwback or an industrial look, there’s a Softail cruiser for you. Great for short rides and cruising, these bikes will turn heads and keep you low to the road.

Power and Performance

The Softail family hosts power plants with large displacements and offer on-demand power that comes from their Milwaukee-Eight® V-Twin. Softails are specifically tuned for low-end torque to give riders a close-to-the-ground feel and unbeatable control at lower RPMs. Meaty throttle pulls and easy riding are perfect for cruising around town! Blaze down the straights and pass with ease. You can be confident that when you buy a Softail cruiser, you’re not sacrificing any power for that awesome style.

The Ultimate Custom Platform

Softail cruisers have killer looks right out of the factory, but most riders want a custom flair to express their own individual identity. Once you find a Softail you like, you can tackle the styling, changing the look and feel of your new ride. Your average cruiser doesn’t have a great turning ability due to their low-slung design, but customization can amend this by making it easier to lean the bike during turns. Otherwise, you can alter the look by adding or removing parts and fixtures. Whatever you want to alter about your bike, your local motorcycle dealer can help you choose the right customization packages for the model you have.

Choppers are just one of the classic garage-built customs popularized during the 60s. They’re chopped or cut-down versions of production cruisers modified as part of personal projects by veteran riders or mechanics. They’re often a source of pride and accomplishment, a look-what-I-made display. You can spot choppers by their raked-out forks, small fuel tanks, and high handlebars. These are not efficient riding machines, but there’s nothing else out there with the same inherent sense of history and style. 

The classic American style of the Harley Softail cruiser is unbeatable. From their garage-inspired design to the kind of power and performance you expect from Harley, anyone riding a Softail cruiser will feel like a true king of the road.
