Harley-Davidson has unveiled its 2025 lineup, introducing significant updates to its sport bike range, including the Sportster S, Nightster, and Nightster Special. These models feature enhanced performance and design elements to captivate motorcycle enthusiasts.
2025 Harley-Davidson Sportster S
The Sportster S, Harley’s flagship sport model, retains its 76 cubic inch Revolution Max engine, now refined to deliver robust low-end torque. The updated engine produces 121 horsepower and 126 Nm of torque, channeling its power through an unchanged transmission.
Significant improvements have been made to the suspension system. The front features a 43 mm Showa inverted fork, adjustable for compression, rebound damping, and spring preload, offering 3.6 inches (9 cm) of travel. At the rear, a Showa piggyback reservoir shock, also adjustable, provides 3.2 inches (8.1 cm) of wheel travel—an increase of 60% over previous models—while maintaining the seat height at 28.9 inches (73 cm).
Aesthetically, the Sportster S adopts a blacked-out theme, including the engine, accented by red lettering. The fuel tank showcases a checkered V graphic reminiscent of designs from the 1950s, complemented by a gloss black fuel door. Available in four color options, the Sportster S starts at $15,999.
2025 Harley-Davidson Nightster
The Nightster continues its legacy with the 2025 model, maintaining its position in Harley’s sport lineup. While specific updates for this model were not detailed, it remains a key offering for riders seeking a blend of performance and style.
2025 Harley-Davidson Nightster Special
The Nightster Special also returns for 2025, offering riders an enhanced version of the standard Nightster. Details on specific upgrades were not provided, but the model is expected to build upon its predecessor’s features.
Harley-Davidson’s 2025 sport bike lineup reflects the company’s commitment to innovation and performance, ensuring these models remain competitive in the evolving motorcycle market.
