Collection - Hydra-Glide Revival - was directly inspired by the vintage motorcycles featured in the film . The successful launch and popularity of this model in Australia and New Zealand can be attributed to the affinity H-D customers have for moto culture history and heritage . In celebration of the premiere heading to Sydney , Harley-Davidson ANZ partnered with Focus Features and Universal to create a premiere experience like no other . Ten Harley- Davidson motorcycles escorted the movie lead , Austin Butler , in a motorcade as he arrived at State Theatre on Market Street in Sydney ’ s bustling CBD stopping traffic and creating an atmosphere like no other . To top it off , the riders were wearing denim Vandals vests featured in the movie for a big visual impact . The Red Carpet also got the Harley-Davidson treatment with a Heritage Classic 114 displayed outside the State Theatre . The Heritage Classic 114 is a quintessential American cruiser , offering vintage details and pure rock ‘ n ’ roll style , reminiscent of the period in which the film is set . The partnership with Universal doesn ’ t end there , with Universal using Harley-Davidson ’ s 2024 Icon - Hydra-glide Revival and the Heritage Classic - for the Media Call with Austin Butler set behind the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge on Thursday morning before the premiere . “ Harley-Davidson is an iconic 120-year-old brand that is synonymous with pop culture , featuring in many blockbuster films from Easy Rider , Footloose , Terminator , The Avengers Franchise , to Mad Max and The BikeRiders movies of 2024 ", explained Managing Director at Harley-Davidson ANZ , Nigel Keough . “ The brand promotes freedom and the pursuit of adventure which is why it has longevity , appealing to all ages .
