Authentic Style
When you’re seeking an all-American motorcycle that’s got a throwback look full of attitude, you should take a look at Softail bikes. These classic cruisers are easy to recognize with their flashy style, including extended front forks and one-of-a-kind finishes that positively gleam in the sunlight. You’ll find models that offer you the 1960s retro look as well as bikes that have a more industrial and modernized urban appeal. You’re certain to turn heads when you cruise in on a Softail!
More Power
Softail models are equipped with the hardy and strong Milwaukee-Eight® V-Twin engine that provides a ton of torque so you can navigate traffic with ease and blast away from stoplights, leaving others in your dust. You’ll feel like you’re at one with the road with the way these bikes respond to your input, allowing you complete control of your motorcycle.
The air-cooled engine produces that classic Harley purr that riders have come to know and love. This only adds to the attitude that Softail bikes exude, ensuring you’ll stand out from the crowd no matter where you go.
Smooth Cruising
The frame of the Softail has been optimized to be lighter and stiffer than previous models, which improves handling and helps you to keep control of your bike. You won’t feel the bumps in the road thanks to the improved suspension and monoshock technology that allows you to ride in comfort all day long.
Customizability
While these bikes look and feel great straight off the assembly line, the great thing about Softail motorcycles is how easy they are to customize. During the 1950s and 1960s, avid bikers tinkered away at custom bikes in their garages, and Harley-Davidson has drawn their inspiration from those unique models to bring more customizability to the modern Softail.
Start with a base model that you like and add or remove features as you desire, turning your bike into a ride that you can truly call your own. You’ll love the classic American aesthetic of these bikes even before you start changing things up to suit your needs. Harley-Davidson makes it a cinch to tailor your ride exactly to your liking, so don’t be afraid to ask our staff about the modifications you can make to your chosen Softail motorcycle to personalize it.
The Softail® family is truly in a league of its own, so it’s easy to see why riders flock to these bikes again and again. Ready to check out some models?
