Harley-Davidsons have always had distinct styling, and sometimes, it gets difficult for a manufacturer like Harley to let go of its history because of how passionate its fans are. However, The Motor Company has managed to toe the line between evolution and heritage beautifully, and the Harley-Davidsons of today are modern motorcycles while still retaining the things that have kept them dear to the traditionalists.In 2026, it isn’t too difficult for a Harley-Davidson to stand out from the crowd, but Harley-Davidson has been consolidating its components to make ownership easier. Still, even though they might share components, each Harley, whether cruiser, tourer, or otherwise, has a distinct identity. And here are ten Harleys that still turn heads in 2026. Harley-Davidson Nightster Special Price: $12,499 Harley-DavidsonWhile the base Nightster aims for a great price and manages it, it also has to let go of a lot of features that consumers consider necessary to a premium motorcycle. No such issues with the Nightster Special, it adds everything that you’d want from a motorcycle like this for $2,500 more. The running gear is the same, with the Revolution Max engine and the variable valve timing on the intake valves. You also get the same safety, with traction control, ABS, and drag-torque slip control. The additional bits include tire pressure monitoring, a 4-inch TFT color display, a standard passenger seat and footpegs, white wheels, and some great paint options. Harley-Davidson Sportster S Price: $15,999 Harley-DavidsonThe Sportster S is the sportiest cruiser Harley makes, thus living up to its name. With this generation, though, Harley has not just made it sporty for a Harley; it is sporty, period. It has a trellis frame with the engine as a stressed member, there are inverted front forks, and the Revolution Max engine here is tuned for torque rather than power. And it still generates over 120 horsepower! You get all the safety that Harley offers on its most premium models as well, thanks to its six-axis IMU. Harley-Davidson Fat Boy Price: $22,599 Harley-DavidsonThe Fat Boy is the definitive Harley cruiser for most of the world, and the manufacturer has done an excellent job of keeping it true to its original styling roots while still moving it forward. The current Fat Boy has also been upgraded to a larger, more powerful Milwaukee Eight 117 Custom engine with liquid-cooled heads. If you fancy a bit of exclusivity and more turning of heads, then the Gray Ghost Edition is also available for a little more. Harley-Davidson Heritage Classic Price: $22,999 Harley-DavidsonTo fans of traditional Harley designs, there probably is no better cruiser than the Heritage Classic. Like its name suggests, it is styled to resemble a retro Harley, and boy has it nailed it. You’ll have to pay a little extra for the spoke rims ($800) and the two-tone paint ($850), else you’ll get flat black paint and alloy wheels, but they’re well worth it. The contrast stitching on the seat and saddlebags is also a great substitute for the traditional leather rivets. The hard luggage is standard, and there is a generous but not overt use of chrome on the Heritage Classic. This one will definitely turn heads. Harley-Davidson Breakout Price: $23,099 Harley-DavidsonThe Breakout is for those members of the public who are fans of the chopper or drag bike esthetic. It has the massive 21-inch front wheel and the kicked out front forks. This is the only product in the lineup with this sort of styling, so it is no wonder that it will turn heads. It has a full safety suite thanks to its six-axis IMU, and includes cornering ABS, cornering traction control, cornering drag-torque slip control, and tire pressure monitoring. Harley-Davidson Street Glide Ultra Price: $30,749 Harley-DavidsonThe Street Glide Ultra is a new model for 2025 and it ostensibly replaces the Ultra Limited. That means you get the Street Glide Ultra’s good looks, with the throne-like pillion seat comfort for a full-dress tourer. The backrest is a trunk that can hold two full-face helmets, and you get a massive 12.3-inch screen up front with all the possible safety features. As an aside, if you prefer the frame-mounted fairing of the Road Glide, you can still have it as an add-on package with the Road Glide. Harley-Davidson Tri Glide Ultra Price: $37,999 Harley-DavidsonThe Tri Glide Ultra is the most powerful trike from Harley, and it is the most powerful trike powered by a V-twin as well. What you get for your money is a Street Glide lookalike at the front, but with two wheels at the back and an absolutely humongous trunk. Backing it up is easier than usual, as it has an electric reverse gear. This is still powered by one of the Milwaukee Eight 114 engines, so look for an engine update in the future. It isn’t a bad investment for a trike, as it tends to hold its value rather well. Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide ST Price: $44,999 Harley-DavidsonThe CVO Road Glide ST is one of the two race-derived machines from The Motor Company, and of the two, it is the value pick. It is more affordable than the CVO Street Glide! What you get is a performance-focused bagger that has race pedigree from the King Of The Baggers race series. It gets the most powerful engine from the Milwaukee Eight 121 series, and sacrifices the variable valve timing for it. You also get Brembo brakes, Showa suspension with inverted front forks, and the safety that is standard on all tourers from the brand. Harley-Davidson CVO Street Glide Price: $45,999 Harley-DavidsonThe CVO Street Glide is the pinnacle of touring in the Harley-Davidson range, and it gets all the tech and features you’d expect of a touring bike at the top of this lineup. The infotainment has been upgraded with the 12.3-inch screen, you get a banging Rockford Fosgate audio system, and the new DRLs that run horizontally for the length of the ‘Batwing’ fairing. Under the hood, you get the Milwaukee Eight VVT 121 engine with variable valve timing on all valves, which offers massive torque across the rev range. Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide RR Price: $110,000 Harley-DavidsonThe CVO Road Glide RR is both a full-size touring-type bagger from Harley, as well as an all-out race machine. That’s probably why it costs $110,000. It has history’s largest production V-twin shoehorned into the chassis, a Racing King 6-speed transmission, and a chain drives the rear wheel instead of Harley’s preferred belt. Carbon fiber is used liberally for the bodywork and fairing, the clutch basket is made of billet aluminum, and the Akrapovič exhaust is made of titanium and carbon fiber.
