The traditional Harley-Davidson diehards will be familiar with most of the Harley-Davidson motorcycle lineups including the Cruiser and Grand American Touring bikes. But those new to Harley-Davidson may want a better understanding of what separates these motorcycles, what their purpose is, and who the ideal rider would be. Let’s dive in and take a look at the six different model lineups from Harley-Davidson.
Lead by the legendary Sportster, the Harley-Davidson Sport lineup provides iconic design and authentic sound. If you’re looking to blast through city streets and carve through mountains, these bikes were built for you.
There are two models within the Sport lineup: the Nightster and the Sportster S.
The Nightster is designed to be nimble and fast with reduced weight. It’s equipped with a liquid-cooled, torque focused Revolution Max engine. The styling is classic and contemporary that appeals to a wide array of riders.
The Harley-Davidson Sportster S features selectable ride modes, rider safety enhancements, LED lighting, a 6-speed transmission and more.
The Nightster is rooted in a legacy of strength and authenticity. It has razor-sharp handling and a powerful Revolution Max engine. The exposed dual rear shocks look exceptional with the 19-inch front wheel and 16-inch rear wheel. The most obvious resemblance to the Sportster lineage is the classic Sportster model fuel tank.
The iconic Harley-Davidson Cruiser bikes are some of the most recognizable motorcycles in the industry. They feature the Iron 883, Forty-Eight, Fat Boy 114, Street Bob 114, Low Rider S, Softail Standard, Heritage Classic, Low Rider El Diablo, Low Rider ST, and the Fat Bob 114.
These bikes offer middleweight power paired with precision handling and are best for urban riders looking for sleek styling and that classic V-Twin rumble.
Other features found on various Cruiser models include the powerful Milwaukee-Eight 107 V-Twin engine and easy-reach bars such as those found on the Softail Standard.
If you’re looking to conquer the city streets and want maximum power and performance, check out the Fat Bob 114 which pumps out 118 ft-lbs. of torque at 3,500 rpm while maintain an average fuel economy of 47 miles per gallon.

These bikes are powered by an all-new Revolution Max 1250 engine which is liquid cooled, full of ample torque, and offers a consistent powerband that maximizes rider control.
The Adaptive Ride Height is a factory-installed option that gives the rider confidence by lowering seat height when stopped and maintaining optimum suspension snag at speed by constantly adjusting preload and weight sensing.
