Harley-Davidson
Heritage Classic
The Heritage Classic packages Harley's retro touring aesthetic — leather saddlebags, a detachable windshield, and whitewall tires — on the Softail chassis with the Milwaukee-Eight 114 V-twin for riders who want classic 1950s looks with modern performance. At 728 lb it is among the heavier Softail models, but the detachable touring accessories let the bike transform from tourer to cruiser in minutes.
