1500 examples will be produced for global distribution , each serialised with a laser-etched panel on the fuel tank console . Special 120th Anniversary paint in a different scheme will be offered on six additional limitedproduction Harley-Davidson models , with colour and design combinations inspired by early Harley-Davidson motorcycles . Each features a classic panelled paint scheme with gleaming Heirloom Red as the base colour . Panels are outlined with a bright-red pinstripe and filled with a darker Midnight Crimson fade . Additional details include an Art Deco eagle tank medallion , seat covers with red side panels and gold embroidered Harley-Davidson logo , and red fade powertrain inserts . Currently how many of these rather exclusive commemorative bikes will be heading to New Zealand dealers is yet to be determined by Harley-Davidson Australia & New Zealand .
Updated Breakout For 2023 , Harley-Davidson is giving the popular Breakout from the Softail family a bit of an upgrade .

Finally , the 2023 Breakout scores a new set of 26-spoke cast-aluminium wheels which are finished in gloss black with machined details . Pricing and availability of the new Breakout are yet to be confirmed .

The Nightster Special comes equipped for a
