HARLEY-DAVIDSON is set to introduce a lineup of fresh and updated motorcycles for 2025 in just a few days.
Among the anticipated new models is a special edition celebrating the 35th anniversary of the legendary Fat Boy, renowned as the favored ride of Arnold Schwarzenegger in Terminator 2: Judgment Day.

The forthcoming announcement marks the first series of new motorcycles to be revealed by Harley-Davidson this year.
The lineup will include seven revamped Softail models, featuring a more robust engine for Harley’s Low Rider S and Low Rider ST, as reported by Motorcycle.com.
Besides enhanced engines, the new Low Rider S and ST are expected to be lighter than their predecessors.
A complete revelation of the company’s new and refreshed models for 2025 is anticipated on January 23.

However, Motorcycle.com disclosed that the company’s filings in Australia included a listing of seven vehicle identification codes.
Three confirmed models were concealed with placeholder images labeled “CONFIDENTIAL until Embargo date,” suggesting they are undergoing mechanical upgrades.
These included the Low Rider S, Low Rider ST, and Breakout.
The remaining four identification codes were not labeled.
They encompass FLHC (Heritage Classic), FXBB (Street Bob), and FLFB (Fat Boy), devoid of the “S” designation indicating them as Special models.
The absence of an “S” suggests that the new 114 engine will succeed the 107 as the standard.
New Harley-Davidson models anticipated to arrive in 2026 – and they are anything but typical motorcycles
The fourth code, FLSTFI, was the original 1990 model code for the Fat Boy, further hinting that the 2025 model will be a special 35th-anniversary edition.
A teaser image released on Harley-Davidson’s website displayed a Low Rider air intake marked Milwaukee-Eight 117 High Output.
This indicates that the Low Rider’s new engine may deliver 114 horsepower at 5,020 revolutions per minute, compared to the previous year’s engine which peaked at 103 horsepower at 5,020 revolutions per minute.
The 2025 Breakout is also expected to feature Milwaukee-Eight 117 engine tuning.
Motorcycle equipment tips
BEFORE mounting a motorbike and hitting the road, riders should be aware of what equipment is necessary for safety.
It’s advisable for riders to protect themselves as thoroughly as possible before speeding down the highway among other vehicles.
This means that all riders should definitely have a high-quality motorcycle helmet that fits well.
It’s equally important to cover as much skin as feasible, so wearing pants and a riding jacket is crucial.
Safety-conscious riders can take the additional step of always having riding gloves handy and wearing boots while riding.
Cycle World summarizes it best, “When you’re deciding how to spend your money on gear, just ask yourself this question: What is that body part worth? Then spend accordingly.”
CARRY-OVER MODELS REVEALED
The leaked information comes right after Harley-Davidson disclosed its carry-over models on January 2.
These are the models returning with new color schemes and adjusted price points for 2025.
A representative for Harley-Davidson confirmed to The U.S. Sun that more 2025 motorcycles will be unveiled on H-D.com at 5 pm CST on January 23.
In the meantime, a brand new Harley-Davidson dealership is expected to open in a matter of days.
Nonetheless, the company has faced numerous closures in the past year.
Furthermore, other dealerships, such as a long-standing family-owned dealership, have been sold.
The Harley-Davidson Museum is a North American museum near downtown, Milwaukee, Wisconsin celebrating the more than 100-year history of Harley-Davidson motorcycles. The 130,000-square-foot (12,000 m²) three building complex on 20 acres (81,000 m²) along the Menomonee River bank contains more than 450 Harley-Davidson motorcycles and hundreds of thousands of artifacts from the Harley-Davidson Motor Company’s 110-year history. The museum attracts an estimated 300,000 visitors annually. The museum opened to the public on July 12, 2008, on a 20 acres (81,000 m²) site in the Menomonee Valley. The museum was built in an historically industrial area of Milwaukee. Prior to Harley-Davidson’s purchase of the land from the city, the site was formerly used by the Milwaukee Department of Public Works, Lakeshore Sand Company, and Morton Salt. A 4 feet (1.2 m) layer of imported soil was added to combat the contaminated soil. New vegetation was planted to restore the landscape to its riparian state. In late February 2006, designs for the museum were unveiled. The designs were created by James Biber, a partner at Pentagram, his team, and Michael Zweck-Bonner, an associate at Pentagram. Abbott Miller, a partner at Pentagram, designed the museum’s permanent exhibitions. The firm designed the museum over a period of eight years. On June 1, 2006, Harley-Davidson began the construction of the $75 million complex with a groundbreaking ceremony that included legendary Harley-Davidson dirt track motorcycle racer, Scott Parker, breaking ground by doing a burnout with a Harley-Davidson XL883R Sportster, instead of with the traditional golden shovel. The site includes parking spaces for 1,000 motorcycles and 500 cars. The Museum’s facade also features a 17-foot (5.2 m)-tall, steel Harley-Davidson sign. The museum’s galleries permanent exhibitions, spread throughout two floors, in addition to temporary exhibits and the motor company’s archives. The complex also includes a restaurant, café, retail shop, and special event spaces. Also on display are historic Harley-Davidson items that tell the company’s story and history, such as photographs, posters, advertisements, clothes, trophies, video footage of vintage and contemporary motorcycling, and interactive exhibits, including 10 motorcycles that visitors can sit on.
The Motorcycle Gallery
On the museum’s upper level, a procession of motorcycles is displayed down the center of the main hall, running the length of the building, with galleries on either side.
The Harley-Davidson Journey
Along the east side of the upstairs galleries, a series of interconnected galleries exhibit the Harley-Davidson’s chronological history. The galleries relate the company’s history from its origins in a 10×15-foot wooden shack to its current status as the top U.S. motorcycle manufacturer, producing more than 330,000 bikes each year. The centerpiece of the gallery is "Serial Number One", the oldest known Harley-Davidson in existence, which is encased in glass. The glass enclosure sits within a floor-embedded, illuminated outline of the backyard shed the motor company was founded in.
The Engine Room
The museum’s second floor galleries begin with the Engine Room. A Knucklehead engine is displayed disassembled into several pieces. The Engine Room also features several interactive touch screen elements that show how Harley motors, including Panhead and Shovelhead motors work.
Clubs and Competition
The Clubs and Competition gallery includes displays and information about Harley-Davidson’s racing history. The gallery includes a section of a replica wooden board track, suspended in the air at a 45-degree incline. The wooden track features vintage video footage of actual board track races, and attached 1920s-era Harley-Davidson racing motorcycles; the bikes that raced on board tracks at 100 miles -per-hour. Fatalities were common, which led to the banning of wooden board tracks for motorcycle racing.
Tank Gallery
The museum’s upper floor exhibits also include the Gas Tank Gallery, formerly part of the Harley-Davidson 100th Anniversary Open Road Tour. The exhibit displays 100 of Harley-Davidson’s most memorable tank graphics, spanning 70 years, selected by the company’s styling department and reproduced on "Fat Bob" tanks.
Custom Culture
The Custom Culture gallery covers Harley-Davidson’s impact on American and global culture. The centerpiece of the Custom Culture Gallery is "King Kong", a 13-foot (4.0 m)-long, two-engine Harley-Davidson motorcycle customized by Felix Predko. The exhibit also features exact replicas of the customized Harley-Davidson bikes ridden by Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper in the 1969 American movie, "Easy Rider", including Fonda’s "Captain America" chopper and Hopper’s "Billy Bike". Two of each of the two choppers were created, and one "Captain America" was destroyed in the film’s production.

The Kumbh Mela, renowned as the world’s largest spiritual congregation, has officially commenced in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, attracting devotees from various walks of life keen to partake in this monumental event.
Beyond being a religious observance, it presents a vibrant showcase of the eclectic and intriguing figures who gather here. Among them, several Babas (sages or ascetics) are notable for their unconventional lifestyles and remarkable stories.
From a sadhu arriving on a Harley Davidson to a former IIT graduate embracing asceticism, the Maha Kumbh Mela is a fascinating mix of extraordinary individuals. Let’s delve deeper into some of the most remarkable Babas at this year’s gathering.
Chai-wale Baba
Known as “Chai Wale Baba,” Dinesh Swaroop Brahmachari, once a tea vendor from Pratapgarh, Uttar Pradesh, has spent over four decades providing free coaching to civil services aspirants. Impressively, he conducts his classes without uttering a single word and sustains himself solely on tea.
This Baba maintains a vow of silence and relies on ten cups of tea each day, believing that the milk in the tea supplies all necessary nutrients, as reported by ABP News.
The Baba adeptly communicates with his students through non-verbal cues, gestures, and WhatsApp messages.
Rajesh Singh, one of Baba’s pupils, shared how he aided him in preparing for the UPSC exams. “We can message him anytime, and he replies with written notes or gestures. His silence allows him to conserve energy for guiding us,” Singh told India TV.
Once a US Army soldier, now Baba Mokshapuri
Baba Mokshapuri, formerly known as Michael, a US Army veteran, found spirituality on his first trip to India with his family.
During this visit, he was introduced to meditation and yoga, which awakened a spiritual journey that he regards as a divine calling.
“I am no different than anyone else. There was a time when I enjoyed spending time with my family and serving in the Army,” he revealed to News18.

The pivotal moment in his life came following the heartbreaking loss of his son, which drove him toward meditation for peace.
“I came to the realization that nothing lasts forever. I embarked on this endless quest for moksha,” explained the seer, who has closely aligned himself with the Juna Akhara, dedicating his life to the practice and advocacy of Sanatan Dharma.
Some Babas are cruising in style
At the Maha Kumbh Mela 2025, some Babas have made memorable entrances with their unique modes of transportation.
One such personality is Ambassador Baba, who has struck a chord among attendees after arriving in his saffron-coloured Ambassador car. A sage from Indore, Madhya Pradesh, he has participated in four Kumbh Melas, traveling in his iconic 1972 Ambassador for nearly three to four decades.
Another seer, known as ‘Splendor’ Baba, journeyed for 14 days from Gujarat on a three-wheeler motorcycle, covering an impressive distance of one lakh kilometres, as reported by ANI.
He was also seen riding into the tent city of the Maha Kumbh on a Harley Davidson.
IITian Baba
Abhay Singh, known as IITian Baba, has captured the attention of both devotees and social media on the inaugural day of Maha Kumbh.
A former student of IIT Bombay with expertise in aerospace engineering, Singh left behind a promising scientific career to pursue a spiritual path.

“I sought the meaning of life. Even while studying engineering, I enrolled in philosophy courses—Post Modernism, Socrates, Plato—to grasp life’s essence,” he told News18.
“This path has led me to what I consider true knowledge. To understand the mind or mental health, one can pursue it through spirituality.” On how he achieved this stage, Singh remarked, “This is the best stage of my life.”
Rabri Baba
Every morning at the Maha Kumbh, Mahant Devgiri of Shri Panchayati Akhada Mahanirvani begins his day by cooking a large kadhai (pot) of milk to prepare creamy sweet Rabri, which he serves to devotees from 8:00 am until late into the night.
This special offering has won the hearts of many attendees. He shared with ANI, “The kadhai is prepared at 8:00 am, but prior to that, I complete my daily rituals, which include bathing, meditation, and prayers. My morning worship stems from a connection with the Supreme Being.”
Environment Baba
Environment Baba, also referred to as Acharya Mahamandaleshwar Aruna Giri, captured attention upon his arrival at the Maha Kumbh Mela.
In August 2016, he distributed 27 lakh plants from Vaishno Devi to Kanyakumari and has since encouraged his followers to plant two trees—one for final rites and a Peepal tree for oxygen supply.

“I have conducted 82 rituals so far. Devotees from around 30 countries have pledged to plant over 1 crore trees in our nation. In 2016, during a march from Vaishno Devi to Kanyakumari, we planted trees across 27 states. That’s how devotees started calling me Environment Baba,” he disclosed to ANI.
