Man, the Harley-Davidson 2025 lineup is like that classic rock band dropping a killer album—timeless rumble with fresh riffs, blending iconic cruiser soul with modern tech for riders who crave the open road. Launched globally in January 2025, it’s packed with updates like the Milwaukee-Eight 117 V-Twin across cruisers, new Factory Custom Paint schemes with flame motifs, and rider-focused ergonomics that make long hauls feel effortless. Priced from Rs. 16.5 lakh for entry-level cruisers (up to Rs. 50 lakh+ for touring beasts), it’s a premium play for weekend warriors or daily rebels against Triumph Bonneville or Indian Chief—perfect if you’re upgrading from an older Softail or jumping from a Sportster, with 105 hp torque and 43 mpg highway efficiency, though the V-twin thirst might have you eyeing fuel stops on epic rides.
Sleek, Iconic Design
Harley’s 2025 cruisers keep that low-slung swagger—the Street Glide at 2,410 mm long, 1,010 mm wide, 1,130 mm tall, with a 1,630 mm wheelbase that’s steady yet flickable for city weaves. At 370 kg kerb and 130 mm ground clearance, it hugs tarmac but skips bumps okay. New colors like Mystic Shift (gunmetal to purple fade) and Whiskey Firestorm (ghost flame graphics) pop on models like the Road Glide, with 19-inch front and 16-inch rear Enforcer alloys and Dunlop tires for grip. The 670 mm seat height suits most riders, mini-ape bars for upright control—it’s got that touring stance, wide bags for gear, but slim for parking without feeling bulky.
Rider-Centric Cockpit
Hop on the one-piece seat, and mini-ape bars with floorboards give a relaxed lean—comfy for all-day rides without numbness, vibes low from the V-twin. The 12.3-inch TFT touchscreen with Skyline OS flashes speed, fuel, nav, and modes, syncing via Bluetooth for wireless Apple CarPlay (Android basic) and tunes. USB-C ports keep gadgets juiced, 22.7L tank tucks under the fairing—optional Tour-Pak adds two-up storage. Cruise control eases highway legs, intuitive for swapping Road, Sport, or Rain modes—low NVH lets you chat over the rumble, that focused bagger feel for epic tours or cafe stops without tech overload.
Milwaukee-Eight Power Surge
The air-cooled Milwaukee-Eight 117 V-twin churns 105 hp at 4,600 rpm and 130 ft-lb at 3,250 rpm—6-speed gearbox with slip-assist clutch shifts crisp, blasting 0-100 kmph in 4.5 seconds and topping 180 kmph. ARAI 43 mpg highway (real-world 40-42) stretches the tank 400-450 km at Rs. 10-12/km—torquey low-end for loaded passes, deep V-twin rumble on throttle. Hand-adjustable rear shocks and 49mm forks soak bumps decently, no wallow in corners—refined for highways, though heat off the pipes nips in traffic.
Safety with Touring Edge
Dual Brembo discs—11.5-inch front, 11.5-inch rear—with Reflex Linked Brakes ABS bite hard in wet, plus traction control and wheelie mitigation for bold leans. LED lights with cornering lamps cut fog, side-stand cut-off saves slips—no full IMU, but the mild steel frame grips tight—chasing 5-star ratings, shrugging off dings for riders pushing limits.
Price and Quick Snag
Street Glide at Rs. 30.5 lakh (expected import), Road Glide Rs. 32 lakh—on-road Delhi Rs. 33-35 lakh with taxes. January 2025 launch means stock at Harley BigWing dealers or BikeWale, with perks: Rs. 10k-20k cashback, no-cost EMI from Rs. 60,000/month on SBI cards, or free gear. Waits 7-15 days, 2-year/unlimited km warranty, Rs. 5k-7k yearly service—resale 75% after two years if babied.
Rider Raves and Gripes
Bikers rave about the comfort and rumble—”bagger perfection for miles,” one global rider says—but weight bugs city folks, and no Android Auto irks. Service solid at Harley spots, parts lag in rural areas. Vs. Chieftain’s torque or R18’s tech, Street Glide wins on value and handling—top if balanced touring’s your jam.
Quick Specs
January 2025 launch, Rs. 30.5-32 lakh (expected), 1,868cc V-twin, 105 hp, 43 mpg ARAI, Brembo brakes—multiple variants. Swing by BigWing for Mystic Shift or deals—your bagger’s ready to roll.
