HARLEY-DAVIDSON Low Rider (2016-2017) Specs, Performance & Photos

Harley-Davidson was a Company founded in 1903, headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States, and one of two major American Motorcycle manufacturers surviving the Great Depression.

Over time, the Harley-Davidson range grew to include various families of motorcycles with different designs and characteristics. The range included Touring, Softail, Dyna, Sportster, VRSC, VRXSE, Street, and LiveWire models. In addition, they had a separate division for factory-made custom motorcycles named Custom Vehicle Operations (CVO).

In 1977, the American Motorcycle manufacturer launched the first Harley-Davidson Low Rider, a cruiser motorcycle part of the Dyna Family. It soon became known for its distinctive classic American style and powerful performance.

Over the years, the Harley-Davidson Low Rider underwent several design, technical, and performance modifications, including several displacement increases, each with more power and torque.

In 2016, Harley-Davidson launched the Low Rider, a machine that retained the iconic H-D design, with a round headlight, a pulled-back handlebar, a teardrop-shaped fuel tank with an integrated cluster, a single-piece dual seat with a low riding position, a two-into-one exhaust system with a deep rumbling sound, and wire-spoke wheels.

The 2016 Harley-Davidson Low Rider was brought to life by a 1,690cc air-cooled V-twin engine fed by an electronic fuel injection system that provided smooth engine response, fewer emissions, better fuel efficiency, and 126 Nm (93 lb-ft) torque at 3,500 rpm.

When it was released back in 2016, the bike had an MRSP of $14,399 in a Vivid Black color scheme, $15,149 in a two-tone color, and $15,349 in a custom color scheme. In 2023 (at the time of writing), the machine was for sale at an average price of $12,000.
