Join us at Dublin Harley-Davidson for the launch day on Saturday 11th February, where you can experience the all new Softail® Slim™ and Sportster® Seventy-Two™. But it’s not just about showing off our new motorcycles, it’s also an invitation to come down and see what’s new for this year. With more than 8,000 parts and accessories available, our team will show you just how easily your dream motorcycle can be achieved through our customisation capabilities.

 

NEW HARLEY-DAVIDSON® SOFTAIL® SLIM™

NEW HARLEY-DAVIDSON® SOFTAIL® SLIM™ IS A CLEAN, OLD-SCHOOL CUSTOM. Stripped-Down, Narrow Styling with Less Chrome and Retro Details

From its narrow rear end to its trimmed front fender, there’s simply less of the Slim; fewer covers, a solo seat, smaller wheels and tyres, and minimal chrome. Call it stripped. Call it old school. Call it lean and mean. What’s left is the elemental Softail profile and iconic Harley-Davidson style that recalls classic custom bobbers of the 1950s.To keep the rear of the motorcycle simple and clean, the Slim has combination stop/turn/tail lights. The rear fender struts are left uncovered, exposing the forged steel and fasteners. A thin formed-leather strap covers the fuel tank seam.

 

HARLEY-DAVIDSON® SEVENTY-TWO™

HARLEY-DAVIDSON® SEVENTY-TWO™ REVIVES A LEAN LOOK. A New Narrow Sportster® in Sparkling Metal Flake Paint

The Harley-Davidson Seventy-Two motorcycle is a metal flake dream machine, a Sportster on a trip back to the days when the cool kids rode a Sting-Ray and the big boys parked choppers in a row on the curb. Those motorcycles were long and lean; candy-apple color and gleaming chrome shimmering in hazy summer sunlight. From its Hard Candy Big Red Flake paint and ape bars to its narrow whitewall tyres, the Seventy-Two is a respectful nod to that era, and to the influence of the custom culture that still percolates today along Whittier Boulevard, the legendary cruising street in East Los Angeles also known as Route 72.
