Traction control is standard on the Breakout 117 in the 2024 model year.
The new Breakout 117 has had traction control installed as standard this year.
Harley-Davidson is once again focusing on safety and driving stability, especially with powerful models like the Breakout. In addition to the anti-lock braking system, traction control is now one of the standard assistance systems that ensure an even safer driving experience. On a Harley, which already builds up a lot of pressure with 168 Nm at 3,500 rpm, traction control is a useful support, especially in wet road conditions.

Test drive with the Breakout 117! Traction control in practical testing
During my test drive I was able to take a closer look at the character of the Breakout - in particular when the traction control really intervenes and whether you have the feeling that the machine is perhaps being controlled too much. But don't worry: The Breakout remains untamed. Of course, you still have to be a little careful on wet asphalt when you go straight to full throttle.
But as soon as the traction control registers that the tire is spinning, it intervenes pretty perfectly without the driver noticing a noticeable loss of performance. She just keeps going like the road is dry.
In my YouTube video you can get an impression of how I turned the throttle properly :-). If you want to drive without traction control from time to time, you can deactivate it using the switch on the dashboard.”
The new traction control of the Breakout 117 – video
During my test ride last year, when I was riding the Atlas silver-colored Breakout, I was able to see how good the saddle on this machine is. I assume that you can easily cover longer distances with it. That's probably why Harley-Davidson thought: we'll also give the Breakout 117 cruise control.
Modern features and practical details for maximum performance and comfort
In addition, the Breakout 117 impresses with modern features such as a digital speedometer with LCD display in the handlebar clamp, LED headlights, electronic cruise control and a USB port. Practical details such as an immobilizer, keyless ignition and a remaining range display are also on board.
Visually, the model impresses with forward footrests and a removable pillion seat. The self-resetting indicators and the LED combination indicators at the rear complete the package. The integrated hazard warning lights ensure even more safety, while a connection for the battery charger increases convenience in everyday life.
New colors and standard cruise control for even more driving fun
The Breakout 117 is available in several attractive colors: Billiard Gray, Vivid Black, White Onyx Pearl, Alpine Green and Blue Burst. Each of these colors gives the motorcycle its own touch and makes it a real eye-catcher on the road.
The Breakout 117 also now has cruise control as standard, which makes longer journeys even more relaxing. This electronic cruise control system is ideal for tours where you want to keep the speed constant without having to constantly turn the throttle. Not only is it comfortable, but it's another example of how Harley-Davidson equips the Breakout 117 with modern technologies to optimize the riding experience.

HARLEY-DAVIDSON PRESENTS THE ICONS AND ENTHUSIAST MOTORCYCLE COLLECTIONS FOR 2024
The strictly limited Hydra-Glide Revival and the Tobacco Fade models celebrate their premiere at Daytona Bike Week
FRANKFURT (02/29/2024) - Curtain up: Harley-Davidson unveils the latest models in the Icons Motorcycle Collection and the Enthusiast Motorcycle Collection with elegant graphics and impressive special paintwork that are applied using sophisticated technology. Daytona Bike Week from March 2nd to 9th in the Harley-Davidson Event Display Area at Daytona International Speedway and can now be ordered from HD dealers. However, if you want to own one of the motorcycles in the future, you should hurry up, as both collections are strictly limited and the bikes will be correspondingly rare.
Inspiration for the Icons model was also provided by the look of the machines driven in the American feature film The Bikeriders. It takes place in the 1960s, tells the story of the rise of a motorcycle club in the American Midwest from the perspective of the members and is scheduled to come to our cinemas in July 2024.
The Hydra-Glide Revival from the Harley-Davidson Icons Motorcycle Collection
The Hydra-Glide Revival, the fourth model in the Harley-Davidson Icons Motorcycle Collection, will be released in 2024. Their look is a nod to the classic Hydra-Glide types – those models from the E and F series on which Harley-Davidson introduced the telescopic fork 75 years ago. Starting in 1949, they helped make exploring the United States on interstate highways even more convenient. The 2024 Hydra-Glide Revival also promises freedom and adventure of its own, which is visually influenced by this long-gone era and at the same time offers the technology, comfort and equipment of a modern Harley-Davidson.
As part of the Icons Motorcycle Collection, the Motor Company presents a strictly limited edition model once a year that pays homage to a classic Harley-Davidson. Each individual machine in the collection is numbered and is only manufactured in the year in which it was released. Only 1,750 units of the new Hydra-Glide Revival will be manufactured and will soon be available from HD dealers.
Exclusive styling
The Hydra-Glide Revival is painted in special Redline Red and the sides of its tank are painted Birch White - a look consistent with the 1956 models. The harmonious details include the Hydra-Glide lettering on the front fender as well as chrome-plated tank badges with the Harley-Davidson V lettering, the style of which is inspired by the tank badges from 1955 and 1956. In addition, the Hydra-Glide Revival Insert on the handlebar riser and the Icons Motorcycle Collection graphics on the rear fender make the strictly limited model unmistakable.
The Harley-Davidson speedometers from 1954 and 1955 served as a model for the speedometer dial and the lower part of the 53.3 cm high disc was colored in Redline Red. A round air filter and wire-spoke wheels underline the nostalgic look. They are also chrome-plated, as are the fender strips, the crash bars, the fork covers, the engine and the exhaust system.
The solo saddle is equipped with a leather valance decorated with fringes, chrome rivets, white piping with red contrasting stitching, chrome-plated conchos with a border and a center made of red acrylic and spanned by a chrome-plated railing. The leather tank strap is in the same style. Rivets, leather fringes, conchos and piping with contrast stitching also decorate the leather and vinyl saddlebags. Their surfaces are water-repellent and they have safety locks and sturdy case shells so that they retain their shape even after years of use.
Nostalgic look, modern performance
The Milwaukee-Eight 114, which the Motor Company equips with a Screamin' Eagle high-flow air filter for superior performance, guarantees befitting propulsion. Thanks to the Softail chassis, the shock absorber is not visible under the seat. This preserves the classic hardtail look while ensuring dynamic handling and a high level of comfort. If desired, an electronic cruise control keeps the speed constant, an LED headlight with additional lights illuminates the road in an exemplary manner and the anti-lock braking system guarantees added safety.
The Tobacco Fade Enthusiast Motorcycle Collection
The Tobacco Fade Enthusiast Motorcycle Collection
The rhythm of the V-Twin hits real Harley fans right in the heart just as much as the beat of rock 'n' roll. It is this burst of collective energy during live acts in a club, at a motorcycle rally or at the Harley-Davidson Homecoming Festival that provided the inspiration for the Tobacco Fade Enthusiast Motorcycle Collection. With their classic sunburst finish, electric guitars and basses from the 1960s served as the model for the Tobacco Fade finish and graphics - a look that will delight music fans.
The machines in the Enthusiast Motorcycle Collection are strictly limited, a sign of appreciation for Harley-Davidson fans and inspired by the stories of the petrolheads. The current collection is available in just three models, of which no more than 2,000 units are produced each.
Tobacco Fade's color gradient is created in state-of-the-art precision painting systems. Rich, caramel-colored pinstripes accentuate the color of the shiny metallic gold areas beyond the sunburst fade areas. The tank emblem is reminiscent of the shape and grooves of a vinyl record, while the logo on the front fender is designed like a guitar pick. The logos of rock bands and instruments served as inspiration, which is also reflected in the lettering.
The Tobacco Fade Enthusiast Motorcycle Collection includes:
Low Rider ST
The Low Rider ST is powered by the particularly powerful Milwaukee-Eight 117 and has a clean West Coast style. Two suitcases hold the luggage and the frame-mounted panel protects against the wind.
Ultra Limited
With its classic batwing fairing, a powerful infotainment and audio system, two suitcases and a Tour-Pak with luggage rack, the Ultra Limited offers driver and passenger uncompromising comfort.
Tri Glide Ultra
The trike offers ideal conditions for long distances. The batwing fairing, the large trunk, a Tour-Pak and two extremely comfortable seats including back and armrests for the pillion passenger all contribute to this.
All technical features of the three models are identical to those of the 2024 models on which they are based.
Special styling features for all models
– Premium paint finish in Tobacco Fade
– Vinyl inspired tank medallion
– Stylized guitar pick logo on the front fender
– Enthusiast Motorcycle Collection logo on the Tour-Pak luggage rack or rear fender

My first impression of the new CVO Road Glide ST 2024
I took a closer look at the thing and let me say one thing in advance: This thing is absolutely awesome. But – and here it comes – there is a big catch. For everyone who's freaking out and thinking this is the Holy Grail they've been waiting for forever: You'll hardly be able to find them in our corner.
CVO ROAD GLIDE ST 2024 | FIRST IMPRESSION 79
I go to have a look at them
That was the reason why I made the long journey to have a look at this special Harley. Unfortunately it was still offline, meaning I couldn't launch it to listen to the sound, but at least I was able to watch it. In front of me is a CVO Road Glide ST, in Golden White Pearl. Even in the hall where I am, you can see the golden shimmer in the paint.
The paint job is truly a CVO worthy masterpiece to speak of. With the CVO in Palladium Silver, I personally found that the paintwork came across as comparatively sober for a CVO, even though I eventually got used to it. With the Golden White Pearl, they gave it their all.
My first impression of the CVO Road Glide ST on YouTube
Carbon has found its way into the CVO ST
The first impression of the new CVO is simply impressive - this model has been intensively worked with carbon and lightweight composite materials, which not only gives it an aesthetically pleasing appearance, but also takes the visual performance to a whole new level.
Innovation meets sound
Harley-Davidson has integrated a state-of-the-art infotainment system with an impressive 12.3-inch TFT monitor into the new CVO. The sound system has a whopping 500 watts, but unlike other newer CVO models, the two speakers are no longer in the cases.
Instead, the ST has two speakers installed that direct their powerful sound from the front panel towards the driver. The result? The CVO ST is now a few kilos lighter at the rear - no wonder, because the large magnets in the speakers are anything but lightweight. In addition, there is now 0.7 cubic centimeters more volume available in the case.
Harley-Davidson sets new standards with the CVO Road Glide ST
With the new CVO Road Glide ST, Harley-Davidson is bringing an engine onto the road that, with a displacement of 121 cubic centimeters and an impressive 128 hp, knows absolutely no compromises. This engine does not rely on the variable valve timing (VVT) used in other new CVO models, but stands out with a camshaft position sensor and a camshaft specifically designed for sport performance.
The ability to accelerate the engine to an impressive 5900 revolutions for around 25 seconds underlines the exceptional performance potential of the CVO ST. This bike is not only a visual eye-catcher, but also a powerful piece of sports equipment that is ready to shake up the excavator racing scene.
The CVO Road Glide ST is not just beautiful to look at!
The new CVO Road Glide ST is not just something to look at! The 121 cc engine with its 128 horses is not a tame kitten. No VVT? No problem! This beast has other tricks up its sleeve. With the camshaft position sensor and the ability to escalate up to 5900 rpm for a short time, the CVO ST shows that it will cut a fine figure not only on the road but also on the racetrack. It also has the specially configurable driving modes Track Mode and Track Plus Mode. Just think of the Bagger Race races – this bike is made for it.
Pure power with up to a maximum of 5900 rpm.
Camshaft position sensor
The camshaft position sensor can also be found in other Harley-Davidson models, here is a short excursion into the technical world of the sensor.
Ignition control: The sensor allows the engine control unit (ECU) to determine the exact time at which ignition should occur. This is crucial for optimal engine performance and fuel efficiency. By precisely matching the ignition timing to the engine load and current speed, the engine can run more efficiently and smoothly.
Fuel injection control: In addition to ignition, the camshaft position sensor also influences the timing and duration of fuel injection. The ECU uses the data from the sensor to adjust the injection so that it occurs at the perfect moment and in the right amount, resulting in better combustion and therefore greater efficiency.
Improving engine performance: Precise control of ignition and fuel injection allows the engine to optimize its power and torque over a wider speed range. This results in better engine response, increased power and improved overall driving performance.
The CVO Road Glide ST is already a rarity!
You'll probably see her in our corner as rarely as a unicorn at the hairdresser. That's the big catch I was talking about. It's a shame, because it would be nice to see such a cool device on the streets more often.

It is currently estimated that there are 50 machines for the DACH region
The new Grand American Tourers not only have a completely new design, but in the new 2024 model year they will be equipped with the advanced Skyline OS infotainment system that we have previously only seen on the new CVO models.
It has now been announced that Harley-Davidson in the USA is charging a surcharge to activate navigation in the large view. As you can see in the following image, the extension cannot currently be ordered. Let's now come straight to the question: does this also affect customers in the DACH region?
Here in Germany, the large navigation view is also included in the scope of delivery
Harley-Davidson navigation fully activated in the DACH region
In the USA, the Harley-Davidson online shop a special offer that requires Skyline OS navigation system This activation makes it possible to show the navigation in full width on the display. In addition, the activation of the audio navigation allows announcements to be transmitted directly via the motorcycle's infotainment speakers without the need for a headset for the driver or passenger.
Now the big question, how will Harley-Davidson regulate this in Germany, Austria and Switzerland? After asking Harley-Davidson, I received the following information! In our region, Harley-Davidson will regulate this in a more customer-friendly manner, sometimes this is because there are different customer requirements in the European market, so Harley-Davidson has not made the expansion of the system in our country subject to a charge. Navigation in Skyline OS is therefore fully unlocked.
Harley-Davidson starts cooperation with Cardo
Harley-Davidson is now partnering with Cardo, a leading provider of communication systems for motorcyclists. Last year, Cardo delivered the first headsets specifically for the new CVO models from Harley-Davidson. This partnership is characterized by collaboration with JBL, a renowned audio equipment manufacturer.
JBL is known worldwide for its high-quality speakers, headphones and audio systems and stands for first-class sound and robust construction. This collaboration underlines Harley-Davidson's commitment to providing its customers with an outstanding audio experience by leveraging Cardo's expertise and JBL's quality.

Harley-Davidson on a new course with customer focus and innovative equipment
The new Cardo headsets are also included in our delivery, as is the activated Apple CarPlay. That's what I call customer-friendly, it's clear that Harley-Davidson has changed its strategies to be more customer-oriented. Of course, we will always find something to criticize, but we should also mention positive developments.
In Germany, people are eagerly awaiting the arrival of the first Harley-Davidson Street Glide and Road Glide models of the 2024 model year towards the end of February. It has not yet been confirmed, but I assume that we will be at the next open house dates at the Harley -Davidson authorized dealers will be able to see the new models.
Street Glide 2024 Billiard Gray
It is cooked hotter than eaten
I will make a separate article on the subject of the CVO Street Glide suspension. I had questions about what the recall in the USA is all about and whether the new Street Glide could be affected by it. To be clear, the recall is only about the CVO Street Glide, not the CVO Road Glide, as you could read in some comments.
The new Street Glide is not affected by this, and this issue is cooked hotter than eaten. There is a problem, but only if you don't give it the necessary break-in time and, above all, you don't adjust it correctly to the driver in terms of weight, but that's also what it says in the manual. First of all, let's say a lot about that, I'm currently working on detailed information.

First look at the new Street Glide in Billiard Gray: A taste of 2024
I recently had the opportunity to take a first look at the new Street Glide in the color Billiard Gray. As you can see from my previous reports on the 2024 model year , we can expect the introduction of the new Street Glide and Road Glide models this year. These are based on the design of the CVO models that Harley-Davidson introduced just last year.

The season is getting closer and closer, it will start again soon and I am looking forward to seeing many of you at the upcoming events!

HARLEY-DAVIDSON RINGS A NEW ERA OF MOTORCYCLE TOURING WITH THE REINTREPRETATION OF TWO FASCINATING BIKES AND A NEW BENCHMARK IN ADVENTURE TOURING
The new Street Glide and Road Glide feature exceptional performance, impressive innovation and a refreshing new design.
In keeping with the 25th anniversary of Custom Vehicle Operations, HD presents the new CVO Road Glide ST with hot bag performance and the new, fully equipped CVO Pan America for adventure.
FRANKFURT (01/24/2024) - For 2024, the Motor Company is introducing four new models that mark the beginning of a new era in terms of touring performance, technology and design. The new Street Glide and Road Glide with the optimized Milwaukee-Eight 117 are more powerful, more comfortable and lighter than their predecessors.
They feature the most advanced technology, including a new infotainment system, as well as an impressive new design. In celebration of the 25th anniversary of Custom Vehicle Operations, the new CVO Road Glide ST hot rod bagger performance to a new level. It is equipped with a racing-inspired high-performance chassis and a matching braking system and is powered by the powerful new Milwaukee-Eight 121 High Output.
This drives the rear wheel via a short secondary gear ratio and ensures impressive acceleration and energetic pressure in the medium speed range, which puts a grin on the face of ambitious drivers. CVO Pan America debuts . It is the first CVO in the adventure touring segment to come onto the market in an exclusive special paint finish and with extensive equipment that leaves nothing to be desired.
The new machines will soon be available from HD dealers.
“These impressive models represent a new era for Harley-Davidson. Their performance and technology, their comfort and style are at a new level in every respect,” explains Jochen Zeitz, Chairman, President and CEO of Harley-Davidson. “Without a doubt, these are the most enticing machines Harley-Davidson has ever offered.”
STREET GLIDE AND ROAD GLIDE
The new Street Glide and Road Glide models
The 2024 Street Glide and Road Glide are stronger, lighter and more dynamic than their predecessors. From the front fender to the cases, they are characterized by a new look with particularly energetic lines. Both feature completely redesigned fairings that, on the one hand, look refreshingly modern and, on the other hand, correspond to the familiar design DNA of Harley-Davidson.
The other features:
The optimized Milwaukee-Eight 117 V-Twin features a new cooling system that increases thermal comfort for the driver, as well as improved flow conditions in the intake and exhaust areas, which benefits performance.
The selectable driving modes Road, Sport, Rain and Custom electronically control the performance characteristics of the engine and the intensity with which the assistance systems intervene.
Skyline OS forms the basis of the infotainment technology and a 12.3-inch TFT color touchscreen replaces all analog instruments and most switches. The two speaker systems mounted in the fairing are powered by a new audio amplifier that produces 200 W.
The improved aerodynamics increase comfort for the rider and reduce turbulence in the helmet area at higher speeds. The chassis components with 76 mm of suspension travel at the rear, a redesigned, one-piece seat shape and new upholstery materials lead to a significant improvement in long-distance comfort in most cases.
CVO ROAD GLIDE ST
The new CVO Road Glide ST is the spearhead of the 2024 CVO models
The CVO Road Glide ST is the most dynamic and sophisticated performance bagger Harley-Davidson has ever made. It has numerous features that arouse enthusiasm among performance-oriented drivers. The deep solo seat and 6" high riser combined with the moto handlebars ensure an engaging seating position in West Coast Custom style. The other features:
The customer has the choice between two premium paint finishes: Golden White Pearl and Raven Metallic. The Screamin' Eagle graphics on the fairing sides and fuel tank are inspired by the SE Harley-Davidson Factory Race Bikes that compete in the MotoAmerica King of the Baggers racing series. 25 years of Custom Vehicle Operations (CVO) at Harley-Davidson are also honored with 25th Anniversary Graphics.
The Milwaukee-Eight 121 High Output V-Twin was developed exclusively for the CVO Road Glide ST, produces 128 hp (94 kW) and produces 193 Nm - the highest power and torque ever from a factory-offered engine achieved with a street-legal Harley-Davidson. A short secondary gear ratio makes the acceleration in each gear even more emphatic.
The use of lightweight materials reduces the dry weight to 363 kg. A Screamin' Eagle titanium exhaust system with carbon fiber end caps contributes to this, as do the front fender, the seat hump and the tank console made of carbon fiber material as well as the oil pan made of lightweight composite material. In addition, the design of the wheels and the front brake discs in wave style minimize the unsprung masses.
The front wheel is guided by a 47 mm upside-down fork, while at the rear there are two emulsion shock absorbers with external expansion tanks. The suspension components are from Showa and are fully adjustable.
High-quality brake components from Brembo are responsible for the powerful and perfectly controlled deceleration.
The selectable driving modes – Road, Sport, Rain, Track as well as Track Plus and other custom modes – electronically determine the ratio of power delivery and engine braking torque as well as the intensity of the assistance system interventions.
Skyline OS is the basis of infotainment technology. A color touchscreen eliminates the need for all analog instruments and most switches. The premium audio system includes a 500W amplifier that powers two 6.5-inch HD Audio powered by Rockford Fosgate Stage II speaker systems in the fairing.
CVO PAN AMERICA
The CVO Pan America is a new bike for demanding motorcycle travelers and the first adventure touring model in the CVO portfolio.
It has all the features that have made the Pan America 1250 Special the first choice for demanding adventure touring riders - including the powerful Revolution Max 1250 V-Twin, the electronically adjustable semi-active suspension, the large touchscreen display, the selectable riding modes and the adaptive Cornering light of the Daymaker LED headlight. But the CVO Pan America has much more to offer: elegant and robust accessories that have been specially selected for travel.
These include the Adaptive Ride Height automatic chassis lowering, a luggage set consisting of suitcases and a top case made of aluminum, a Screamin' Eagle quickshifter, cross-spoke wheels with tubeless tires, LED additional headlights, a light metal underrun guard and many other features. The perfect equipment for thirsty adventurers who want everything and more.
With the CVO Street Glide and the CVO Road Glide, Harley-Davidson has introduced a new design line for the Grand American Touring platform in the 2023 model year. This includes the exceptional power of the Milwaukee-Eight VVT 121, a state-of-the-art chassis and the innovative infotainment technology of the exclusive Skyline OS. Both models will also offer all of these features in 2024 - combined with fascinating new paintwork.

New Harley-Davidson teaser for the CVO Road Glide ST 2024
Shortly before the Harley-Davidson online presentation, which will be shown on YouTube on January 24th, 2024 at 5:00 p.m., Harley-Davidson is releasing a teaser with the CVO Road Glide ST!
A new CVO Road Glide ST Sport Tourer is coming!
There are only a few details so far, we can't see everything yet, but do we want to? There should still be a bit of tension and space for speculative discussions about what is really coming. They also reveal the secret behind the special models.
CVO Road Glide ST 2024
The new sport tourer from Harley-Davidson
CVO Road Glide ST
The CVO Road Glide ST is a blast. This solves the mystery about the ST models a little bit, according to what the information available to us tells us, the previous ST models are classified in the class of special touring models, at least that's what we can deduce from the current color table.
It will be interesting to see whether there are other sporty features in the ST models that can set the CVO ST apart from the special models. There could be a different chassis in the room; at the Bagger Party Race in Germany, for example, the Screamin Eagle version, the Öhlins suspension, was installed.
Street Glide ST 117 - 2023 with adjustable Screamin' Eagle Öhlins
A sport tourer that stands out?
Now Harley-Davidson is bringing a real sports tourer onto the road with the CVO Road Glide ST. How Harley-Davidson will technically implement the ST so that it is truly sporty and manages to stand out from the CVO Road Glide will be very interesting. There's certainly a little more to it than making it a single-seater, let's wait and see.
Pricing and speculation about the CVO Road Glide ST
It will also be exciting to see where the model will settle in terms of price. As it stands, only one CVO Road Glide ST is currently planned, which will come in two different colors. On the other hand, you don't hear anything about a CVO Street Glide ST. We're still in the dark about the engine, but I would assume that Harley-Davidson will also use the new, powerful 121 VVT Milwaukee-Eight engine for the CVO ST. Anything else would cause more costs if they were to use an additional engine version, which is rather out of the question.

The new Harley-Davidson Special models
Now we come to two models that appeal to a much larger target group. As expected, Harley-Davidson will adopt the design and other technical changes from the CVO models to the two Grand American Tourers, thus beginning a new era. They already announced this in the video teaser for the presentation and gave a little insight into the new color palette.
The information about the engine or the chassis is pure speculation. Where they are priced will be the same, although I wouldn't assume that we will see very big changes to the current models, at least. that would be hoped.
Harley-Davidson is bringing new tourers onto the road with this model year.

Road Glide Special in Sharkskin Blue.
What will become of the Road King Special?
The Road King is usually one of the 'special' models, but it is rarely talked about. Although Harley-Davidson mentions '...and more' in the teaser, it's unlikely they're referring to the Road King. I've touched on this in a previous report and even think it's possible that if we don't see any changes to the Road King Special, this could be its last year on the market. It seems as if it is part of Harley-Davidson's strategy to operate more profitably in the market with a smaller but more targeted product range.
CVO Pan America 2024
To my surprise, there is a lot of color to see on the new CVO Pan America. The CVO Pan America 2024 will come in a black and red design. And as we can see from the shadows in the teaser film, it will come with suitcases and everything that Harley-Davidson has in its program for the Pan America.

The expected price is also interesting, with a complete setup it could easily reach the 30,000 euro mark. It's only been known for a while that a CVO Pan America is coming, but we won't find out the real details until January 24th at 5:00 p.m.
In the DACH region, there is expected to be a very small offering of this certainly limited model.

The excitement is rising, there is already a lot of excitement in the USA about models that are currently no longer in the Harley-Davidson 2024 portfolio. The Fat Bob 2024 and the Pan America Standard 2024 are missing. They are both still in our program in 2024, but this does not necessarily apply to 2025.
But let's get to the really hot rumors about what the Harley-Davidson 2024 model year presentation may reveal. The absolutely HOT rumor comes after the special models.
Street Glide Special and Road Glide Special 2024
There are clear signs that we will see two new Street Glide Special and Road Glide Special models. In the teaser that is currently playing on YouTube, they have actually already given themselves away. There are certainly people who take a closer look. In the video we can already see the colors Sharknoise Blue on the Road Glide Special, the new emblems on the side of the case are striking and of course, we didn't know the saddle with a back seat before.
I published this color palette back in December when a list surfaced in the US. The colors match the Carry Over models, it would be very unusual if we didn't see the following colors on the new models: Alpine Green, Billiard Gray, Blue Burst, Vivid Black, White Onyx Pearl, Whiskey Fire.
There will certainly be a Chrome and Black Edition again. If you want to be there right at the start of the season, you should contact your dealer in good time. On January 24, 2024 at 5:00 p.m., Harley-Davidson will release full details. Last year, the detailed information unfortunately arrived a little late. It takes a while until the information is all online. It's best to activate the instant message or the push message in the Harleysite app to be informed directly when I receive all of it I have detailed information online.

But that is not all!
Hot rumor about a new sports tourer!
Unfortunately, the information about this rumor is very short and sweet, but something extraordinary is coming! The photo was created from the information I was able to pick up. I had heard about it a few weeks ago, unfortunately there are no real details! What you can say, they should be two awesome bikes! So, I mean really awesome bikes!
This is driving me a little crazy now, it's just curiosity that drives you. We all know that very few people will place their order directly with the HD dealer, because especially with the CVO models, you have to be able to afford these exclusive bikes. But it's still cool that Harley-Davidson has come up with something again. I'm really excited to see what lies ahead when the curtain falls on January 24th!

CVO Pan America 2024
That seems to be clear now, the CVO Pan America 2024 is coming. Data leaks have emerged in the USA, which now makes the matter clear. Only no one has seen it yet, there have been rumors about the CVO Pan America for a long time, it will be fully equipped, I'm just wondering why they're doing that?
Here we certainly see a biker standing, riding at the CVO Pan America 2024.
Pan America Trans Euro Trail?!
I would have expected Harley-Davidson to come up with something innovative! You have the Pan America in the adventure bike category, then I expect something that I can get into the dirt with. My idea for a themed bike would be a Pan AmericaTrans Euro Trail version, which is an adventure route across Europe. We know this from the Tenere or Paris Dakar, everyone has their special adventure bike somewhere.
It's 80,000 kilometers across Europe, that's what I call an adventure. You cover the routes in stages, but you can still take a few years. Nice to plan the tour and get started on vacation. During the trip, make a stop at the respective HD dealers on the route and bag a special Pan America Adventure T-shirt, or whatever, if you have made the stop.
the Pan AmericaTrans Euro Trail with a few innovative things. Mini compressor with LED light, everything is already there, you can inflate and deflate your sleeping mat at the same time, heat the fire, etc. That's how I would imagine it and I'm sure that's exactly what the Pan America can do. They are drivable routes and everything is legal to drive!
I think the Pan America is really good, it deserves that Harley-Davidson puts the Pan America sheet on the table again and moves on. We mustn't forget that it came out of nowhere and apart from the initial problems, which I didn't have with it, the Mega works.
You can really only appeal to Harley-Davidson! It is time to further exploit the potential of model diversity, especially with regard to lighter motorcycle variants. What is currently missing is a lightweight entry-level version - a bike that is designed for people under 1.75 and offers the possibility of being throttled.
It is actually the strength of the Revolution Max engine that you can build almost anything around it, the engine from the Sportster S would also be suitable for the Pan America, it comes with its torque much earlier, that would be the case with the Revolution Max T Motor every pass route is yours.
Custom Vehicle Operations Pan America
But okay, now let's wait and see what really happens. The Pan America fire department of the Kall fire department can definitely pass as a CVO Pan America. This particular Pan America 1250 Special would be the perfect template if you changed the signal red to a strong red, red/black always works well. If only they would finally bring a Black Edition with a black engine. This has been considered in the past, but nothing came of it, at least that's what I heard.

So far the information is still that the tourers and the Pan America are in focus. Everything is quiet with the cruisers and nothing new is happening in the Sportster class this year. That's okay, when the Road Glide Special and Street Glide Special come out now, that's enough of a stir! The details of the popular tourers are still largely obscure.
I actually see the year as positive. If prices remain stable and the new models come onto the market, there will be a lot of movement. There are still plenty of models with good discounts from last year. Anyone who is now thinking about changing saddles, whether new or used, will certainly find the coming weeks very interesting! I'm sure there's something going on!

Harley Davidson 2024 | Billiard Gray is now the new black
In 2024, Harley-Davidson is implementing a striking new pricing strategy that represents a significant change in the brand's heritage. One of the most noticeable changes is the pricing of the motorcycle color options.
Until now, “ Vivid Black ”, a classic and the preferred color among bikers, was considered the standard color at no extra charge. In 2024, however, a surcharge of 595 euros will be charged for this popular color, such as the very popular Sport Glide , as can currently be seen Harley-Davidson
[s201_bai id=”28″]
Realignment of pricing policy at Harley-Davidson with a focus on Vivid Black
This strategic decision signals a significant change in Harley-Davidson's pricing policy. Introducing a surcharge for Vivid Black could be seen as an attempt to generate additional revenue or underline the exclusivity of this color option. It is also conceivable that this change is part of a larger strategy across the portfolio.
This development can be attributed to several factors. Firstly, the absence of Harley-Davidson models in the top 50 new motorcycle registrations has a direct impact on sales and the brand's visibility in the market. This could have led to uncertainty for the manufacturer regarding future sales figures and general market positioning, for which the excessively high prices at the beginning of 2023 could be blamed.
Second, Harley-Davidson's new pricing and color strategy, which includes pricing popular colors like Vivid Black and introducing Billiard Gray as the standard color, could well cause some confusion.
In 2023, the Sport Glide in Vivid Black last cost 20,995 euros ex works, and the previously known price for 2024 is 19,995 euros for the Sport Glide in Billiard Gray and 20,590 euros ex works. This means that it is currently 405 euros cheaper than in December 2023.
Color surveys!

Realignment at Harley-Davidson: 'Billiard Gray' sets new standards in color design
At the same time, “Billiard Gray” is introduced as the new standard black. This change could be aimed at updating the color palette and giving the brand a fresh, contemporary image. The choice of “Billiard Gray” as the standard color could also indicate that Harley-Davidson is trying to move away from traditional designs and bring more innovative and modern styles to the market.
These new pricing and color choices show that Harley-Davidson is willing to take risks and break away from established norms. For long-time fans and new customers alike, it will be exciting to see how these changes impact the brand's perception and sales in 2024.
New color categories!
Base color | Vivid Black | Premium Color | Premium Plus Color
Street Bob 114 in Blue Burst model year 2024
As we can see particularly clearly from the example of the Street Bob 114 in the 2024 model year, Harley-Davidson has created new color categories. The basic color, as it is called in the first category, is also in this case Billiard Gray and is currently delivered ex works with a starting price of €17,495. Vivid Black remains in a class of its own and now comes with a surcharge of +595 euros. It seems like Harley-Davidson hasn't found another name for this category.
There is then Baja Orange as a 'premium color ' for an additional charge of 595 euros, followed by Blue Burst, which is assigned premium plus color The exact differences between ' Premium Paint ' and ' Premium Plus Paint ' are still unclear as the prices are identical, but I'm in the process of finding out more about it.
Decorating optionswith no options?
Harley-Davidson 2024 Road Glide Limited in Billiard Gray
In the tourer class, the ' two-tone ' color category still appears, and there is no 'premium color' Another mystery is the 'trim options' which don't appear to cost any extra, but what are these options? You would have thought that it was about the black finish, but what is the option if you don't show it at all, I only see black finish? I'm curious to see whether more information will come in, so far they've consistently saved on images and the necessary detailed information.
Price comparison! Road Glide Limited 2023 and 2024
Something went wrong that Harley-Davidson adjusted the prices again, here is a comparison to the price list from January 2023, compared to January 2024 with the example of the Road Glide Limited in the Black Finish version at work.

It is clear that prices have fallen. This could be a positive signal for 2024 if the manufacturer tries to focus more on customer requirements!
I will let you know as soon as the new colors are available from retailers. I am currently assuming that the Carry Over models will arrive at authorized dealers towards the end of January.

What are Harley-Davidson Carry Over models?
The term "carry over" models at Harley-Davidson refers to motorcycles that have been carried over from the previous model year into the current model year. These models typically retain the basic design and key features of their predecessors, but may receive minor updates or improvements. This could include changes to the color palette, minor technical adjustments or the introduction of new trim levels. The “Carry Over” models offer customers the opportunity to purchase tried and tested models with perhaps some new features or stylistic changes.
