120th Anniversary Models
The very limited-edition, super-premium CVO™ Road Glide® Limited
Anniversary model celebrates 120 years of craftsmanship with one of
the most intricate paint schemes ever offered by Harley-Davidson.
Panels of Heirloom Red are applied over a base coat of Anniversary
Black, each outlined with a bright red pinstripe and a hand-applied
gold paint scallop. Subtle details added within the panels portray
the head and wings of a soaring eagle. The gold-plated tank
medallion depicts an Art Deco rendition of the eagle, an iconic
Harley-Davidson design element. Additional details include
luxurious Alcantara seat surfaces with gold and red contrast
stitching accents, gold-tone powertrain inserts and bright red
rocker boxes and pushrod tube collars. Only 1,500 examples of this
fabulous motorcycle will be produced for global distribution, each
serialized with a laser-etched panel on the fuel tank console.
Special 120th Anniversary paint in a different scheme will be
offered on six additional limited-production Harley-Davidson®
models, with color and design combinations inspired by early
Harley-Davidson motorcycles. Each features a classic paneled paint
scheme with gleaming Heirloom Red as the base color. Panels are
outlined with a bright-red pinstripe and filled with a darker
Midnight Crimson fade. Additional details include an Art Deco eagle
tank medallion, seat covers with red side panels and gold
embroidered Harley-Davidson logo, and red fade powertrain
inserts.
This commemorative design will be offered on the following
serialized models:
- Ultra Limited Anniversary (production limited to 1,300 examples
globally)
- Tri Glide® Ultra Anniversary (1,100 examples)
- Street Glide® Special Anniversary (1,600 examples)
- Road Glide® Special Anniversary (1,600 examples)
- Fat Boy® 114 Anniversary (3,000 examples)
- Heritage Classic 114 Anniversary (1,700 examples)
Breakout is Back
The Breakout® model returns to the North America model line, flexing more muscle
and flashing bright new styling over its long-and-lean chopper
profile. The muscle is provided by the Milwaukee-Eight® 117 V-Twin
engine, the pinnacle of torque and displacement in a
factory-installed, regular-production Harley-Davidson® powertrain
that gives the Breakout rider instant bragging rights on the
street.
Other new features include:
- A five-gallon fuel tank topped with a low-profile chrome
console shaped to lengthen the motorcycle profile and extend riding
range.
- A new handlebar riser and polished stainless steel handlebar is
¾-inch taller than previous model for improved rider reach to
controls.
- A dazzling chrome finish is applied to the rear fender
supports, side covers, muffler shields, turn signals, mirrors,
Heavy Breather intake, and new 26-spoke cast-aluminum wheels are
finished in gloss black with machined details.
A Harley-Davidson® Softail® chassis maintains classic hard tail
lines without sacrificing thoroughly modern ride and handling
performance. The Breakout model is designed to rule the street with
style and power.
More Cruise Control and Traction
Control
Electronic cruise control will be a standard feature for the Fat
Boy®, Fat Bob®, Breakout®, Low Rider® S models, and remains
standard on Low Rider® ST and Heritage Classic models.
Traction Control System will be offered as a new option for the
Breakout®, Low Rider® S and Low Rider® ST models. Traction control
is designed to prevent the rear wheel from excessive spinning under
acceleration. The rider may turn traction control off using a
button on the hand control.
Own the Fast Lane on the New Road
Glide® 3 Trike
The all-new Road Glide® 3 model combines the advantages of three
wheels and a load of hot rod attitude with the comfort, convenience
and style of the frame-mounted Road Glide fairing. The rider will
enjoy wind-and-weather protection for the long haul plus BOOM!™ Box
GTS infotainment, with Milwaukee-Eight® 114 on-demand performance
available with a twist of the throttle. The Road Glide 3 is a first
for Harley-Davidson, and a new reason to never stop riding.
Key Road Glide 3 features include:
- A frame mounted aerodynamic fairing features triple splitstream
vents to help reduce rider helmet buffeting for improved comfort at
highway speeds, dual Daymaker® LED headlamps for outstanding style
and performance, and a low-profile windscreen for hot rod
style.

navigation/infotainment system powers two 5.25-inch fairing
speakers, and supports standard Bluetooth connectivity to a mobile
device that enables hands-free calling (requires Bluetooth
headset).
- Gloss Black cast aluminum wheels with machined details with
exposed lug nuts on rear wheels and bobtail rear fenders. Choose
menacing black or brilliant chrome finish in each color.
- Weather-proof rear trunk with top-mounted door; capacity is two
cubic feet.

- Trike-specific Rider Safety Enhancements by Harley-Davidson:
Cornering Enhanced Electronic Linked Braking, Cornering Enhanced
Antilock Braking System (ABS), Cornering Enhanced Traction Control
System and Cornering Enhanced Drag-Torque Slip Control System.
Exhilarating New Nightster®
Special Model
This new middle-weight contender amplifies the Nightster
motorcycle riding experience with a host of style, convenience and
technology upgrades. Exhilarating performance is delivered by the
Revolution® Max 975T liquid-cooled V-Twin engine, tuned to make
tremendous torque at low RPM. To minimize overall motorcycle weight
the engine is integrated into the vehicle as the central member of
the chassis.
Key Nightster® Special model features include:
- Passenger pillion and foot pegs enable two-up adventure.
- Cast aluminum wheels with Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS).
- Handlebar and 5-inch handlebar riser move hand controls two
inches up and one inch back to put the rider in a commanding
position on the motorcycle.
- Four-inch round TFT screen displays all instrumentation and
infotainment functions managed using buttons on the hand control
array.
-
- The display supports infotainment generated by the rider's
Bluetooth®-equipped mobile device. Most infotainment functions also
require a Bluetooth headset and speakers worn within a helmet.
- Using voice commands through the headset, the rider can receive
or place calls through a mobile device.
- Navigation is supplied by the Harley-Davidson® App for iOS or
Android downloaded into the rider's mobile device. When navigation
is enabled, the rider may select a moving map display or
turn-by-turn map displayed on the screen, assisted by audio
instructions through the headset.
- Premium Brembo braking components provide outstanding braking
feel and performance for added rider confidence. Single front brake
with axial-mount four-piston caliper and 320mm rotor. The single
rear brake features a floating single-piston caliper and 260mm
rotor.
- A 3.1-gallon fuel cell located below the seat moves the weight
of fuel low in the chassis, which lowers the center of gravity for
improved handling and easier lift off the side stand. The fuel fill
is reached by lifting the hinged locking seat.
- Selectable Ride Modes: Road, Sport, Rain or create a set of
custom modes
- Rider Safety Enhancements by Harley-Davidson: Antilock Braking
System (ABS), Traction Control System, and Drag-Torque Slip Control
System.

Freewheeler® Model Goes
Dark
The Freewheeler® model, an attitude-soaked, cruiser-inspired
trike, gets a blacked-out restyle for 2023. The front end, headlamp
nacelle, tank console, hand and foot controls, powertrain and
exhaust all have black finishes in place of previous bright
finishes. The result is a dramatic change in appearance that
reinforces this model's raw, hot-rod attitude.
New Gloss Black cast aluminum wheels feature exposed rear-wheel
lug nuts for performance styling. Rear 18-inch wheels replace
15-inch wheels to give the Freewheeler® model a dramatic new
stance. Riding on three wheels has never been so awesome.
Other features include:
- Milwaukee-Eight® 114 powertrain for on-demand power.
- Electric reverse gear
- Mini-ape handlebar for fists-in-the-wind attitude.
