The MoCo 2025 - Carry overs on website - what is missing could be a clue.

[DuckRyder]

Harley updated the website with presumed carry over models, some 25s already arriving at dealers.

All softails, all RevMax, all PanAmerica not yet showing 25 models which bodes of changes deeper than colors.

Rumors of an all new bike coming (Some say a Sportster truer to the old ones. Some say a more street oriented PanAm.)

A Street Glide with the suffix "U" was leaked trough part compatibility list. Presumed to be an Ultra.

Prices went up, some better colors but they cost.

Rest of the line announcing late January.

I just paid off my Low Rider ST, I think I'm done, retiring in a few years, hopefully!

If I were going to buy a new Harley, it'd be a Low Rider ST, no doubt about it. Until then, I'll soldier on with this 2002

I'd like to see what a more road oriented Pan America would look like...

That is absolutely beautiful. Of course, I'm a dirt bike guy so I would like that. To me, motorcycles are the perfect tool for exploration.

They're ALL adventure bikes, you just gotta have a sense of adventure

I wonder if they will have a standard Road King this year. I assume so, just not advertised.

Gotta be a cop Road King I'll bet. Sometimes they're even cheaper than a regular RK.

Yeah, I am sure they will have them, the op post is a promotion to what is coming in the "Grand America" category/ . Once going to the HD website it says to check back for 2025 models. No way will they do away with the Road King... I assume anyway.

 

[DuckRyder]

There hasn't been a standard road king other than the police model in several years. The Special did not get the new tank and bags. I suppose it's possible they hid a chrome model (there are some option packages that showed in the builder for a short time, but now appear to be hidden. Also a picture of a softail with a 117HO (now the air cleaner showing such is covered with a black bar) But i strongly suspect there is not standard road king.

 

[DuckRyder]

More leaked photos: appears atleast the low rider S and ST get a 117HO and a 2-1 that allows the bags to be equally sized. Appears gold accents give way to red with black wheels (not a big fan of the red, like the black wheels) What appears to be a P&A picture shows semi rigid bags for Low Rider S

So...a self driving, autonomous, rev limited H-D with a 11.5" touch screen instead of handlebars isn't for you? (jk)

It says here they're still making the Road King.,, https://liberty-hd.com/showroom

Special- yes.

Last time I was at my local dealer they had a couple of police models for those that wanted a regular.

It might be Harley's way of changing things without really changing much. To get younger new riders to buy something they already have. Or, they have noticed sales are slowing down on what some call, "the same old thing every model year". My bike's a '06 and I have no plans on buying any new bike. I like the simplicity of old stuff. I have no radio, no alarm system, and no cruise control to break down. Surprisingly my bike has anti-lock brakes tho. I think any buyer of a 2025 model, would want some tech goodies on it. From what I've read about the 2024's, they haven't gotten the bugs out of them yet.,,

The Road King was Harley's best value. You can take off the windshield on very hot days, and you can dress it up with a fairing and Tourpak for long trips.
I love my Police Road King. It's a versatile dependable bike. My FLHS was a Road King before Harley came out with the name Road King. It was a stripped down bagger with saddlebags and a windshield, just like a RK.

The Road King Special is just an excuse to pay more while you get less. No spotlights, no engine guard.

This apparently…

 

[DuckRyder]

Nothing earth shattering. The Pan AM ST is the only "new" thing..

Colors are better, Softails are all 117. Low Riders are 117 HO, Bags equal sized on Lowrider ST. Softails have ride modes. We can have a moment of silence for the Softail Std.

Someone said the Sportster S got a suspension upgrade.

No Regular Road King.

 

[DuckRyder]

Hmm 2-1 on the Heritage too, not sure how i feel about that.

I REALLY like the Poison Berry CVO Street Glide.

P&A Website seems to be broken on both Safari and Firefox.

I agree, I have a 2014 Road King
I’m in disbelief that there is no 2025 Standard Road King. It is sad and I think it’s a mistake by Harley Davidson.
But maybe that is the future of this pop tart culture.
I have zero plans to get rid of the Road King even if I wanted a new one, they no longer offer it.
