MY24 HARLEYS ANNOUNCED

Harley-Davidson has dropped the covers on its new lineup of 2024 motorcycles , with new colours and big fairings headlining alongside an injection of new technology . Harley says its three new 2024 motorcycle models usher in a new era of touring performance , technology , and design . On the face of it , that is pretty much the whole story . The new Street Glide and Road Glide models feature the new Milwaukee-Eight 117 , and are more powerful , comfortable , and lighter , but they have been jam-packed with the latest technology , including a new infotainment system which is all wrapped up in a new visual design . For those with deeper pockets and a flair for standing out , This year ’ s CVO Road Gide ST commemorates the 25th anniversary of Custom Vehicle Operations by taking hot rod bagger performance to the next level with racing-inspired high-performance suspension and brakes , and a potent new Milwaukee-Eight 121 High Output engine . With a low final drive ratio that all combines to produce the kind of acceleration and mid-range thrust aggressive riders adore . Speaking on the new 2024 models , Harley- Davidson CEO Jochen Zeitz says the new bikes are an elevation of Harley ’ s previous offerings . “ These exciting new models represent a new era for Harley-Davidson , elevating every aspect of performance , technology , comfort , and style ,” Zeitz said . “ Without question , these are the most enticing touring motorcycles ever offered by Harley-Davidson .” Each of the 2024 models is scheduled to reach Harley-Davidson dealerships in the NZ market from mid-March with pricing set to be announced closer to their release .
