Introduction of the Harley Factory Flame paint job
1980 was the first time we saw the first flame paint job come from factory, this featured on the Wide Glide – Now, in 2025 we see the tank flame graphics make a comeback with the all-new Ghost Flame on our Touring and Softail models. A unique new take on the flame all together, from a-far this paint graphic is subtle, but up-close, this graphic will make you say “wow” – makes you appreciate the incredible craftsman’s ship that has gone into creating this ghost flame, only featuring on the Vivid Black and Whisky Fire Models.
Even though we had a blast from the past with the Flame graphic, 1980 to 2025, Harley-Davidson models have advanced significantly with the state-of-the-art features, powerful engines, premium comfort, with all new safety features and rider modes, these bikes are built to make a statement, not only for those riding past you, but for the rider themselves.
We all know tourers are one of the most comfortable Harley-Davidson’s around (Other than the trikes/Freewheeler) but when we say, these Tourers are next level... we mean it! Whether you crave superior handling, rider technology, or race-inspired performance, these new models offer compelling reasons to trade in your current ride and embrace the next generation of Harley-Davidson touring machines.
How you ask? Lets starts with the Powerful New Milwaukee-Eight Engines
-
The Milwaukee-Eight® 121 VVT engine in the CVO Street Glide and CVO Road Glide introduces Variable Valve Timing (VVT), optimising power delivery across the rev range for increased torque and efficiency.
-
The Milwaukee-Eight® 121 H.O. Engine in the CVO Road Glide ST is Harley-Davidson’s most powerful production engine, boasting 95kW at 4,900 rpm and 197Nm of torque, engineered for peak performance with Track and Track+ modes.

The Milwaukee-Eight® 117 V-Twin engine powers models like the Street Glide Ultra, Road Glide, and Street Glide, ensuring unmatched torque and horsepower with liquid-cooled heads and a high-flow intake.


Obviously when it comes to touring you don’t want to feel all those bumps, so Harley-Davidson have all-new Advanced Suspension and Handling

- Adjustable rear shocks in the Road Glide and Street Glide models allow riders to fine-tune their setup for better handling and comfort.

This year Harley-Davidson have taken in your feedback especially with the fairing on the popular Street Glide & Road Glide models and have Enhanced Comfort for Long-Distance Touring (Yes, you can say goodbye to buffeting helmets)
