    <p>One of <a aria-label="Harley-Davidson’s (opens in a new tab)" href="" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Harley-Davidson’s</a> most popular <a aria-label="models (opens in a new tab)" href="" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">models</a>, the Fat Boy, has become a cultural phenomenon after its appearance in the Hollywood blockbuster Terminator 2: Judgement Day.</p>
    <p>Now, Willie G’s children, Bill and Karen Davidson, who observed their father designing the original, have unveiled a 2025 version that has captivated bikers everywhere.</p>
    <p>In the <a href="" target="_blank" aria-label="reveal video (opens in a new tab)" rel="noreferrer noopener">reveal video</a>, Karen Davidson stated: “It beautifully honors the original and the Fat Boy legacy spanning 25 years.</p>
    <p>“I remember watching my Dad along with the team as they brought the stunning <a href="" target="_blank" aria-label="motorbike (opens in a new tab)" rel="noreferrer noopener">motorbike</a> to life, and the moment I first laid eyes on it.”</p>
    <p>“The essence of the 1990 bike has been refined in the 2025 model.”</p>
    <p>Bill Davidson remarked: “When I think about the Fat Boy, it embodies emotion; when you’re riding it, that emotion resonates; even its appearance evokes feelings.</p>
    <p>“The fact that the new iteration was made where the original was created, at Juno Avenue, is incredibly thrilling.</p>
    <p>“The 1990s carried his signature style, distinctive color, and rebellious spirit, which endure after 25 years.”</p>
    <p>Only 1,990 units of the new chromed Fat Boy Gray Ghost will be available for $25,399.</p>
    <p>This latest model features a reflective finish that imparts a futuristic sheen, and the engine is a customized version of the Milwaukee-Eight 117.</p>

    </div>
    <p>Additional engine features include a yellow trim, reminiscent of the original, and a round air cleaner similar to the original 1990 version.</p>
    <p>The aptly named Icon model claims to produce 101 hp at 4,800 rpm and 112 lb-ft at 2,000 rpm, contrasted with the standard Fat Boy’s claimed output of 104 hp and 126 lb-ft.</p>
    <p>Enthusiasts of the famed brand have erupted with excitement on social media following the announcement.</p>
    <p>One fan commented: "There’s really only one motorcycle brand in the world that could have designed the Fat Boy, and that’s Harley Davidson; it’s here to last."</p>
    <p>Another said: "Nailed it! Thrilled that you included the grey frame; keep the amazing designs coming!"</p>
    <p>A third remarked: "Saw one in person yesterday! Gorgeous bike, and I love that it pays tribute to the legendary Willie G! Also, the expressions of the brother and sister who rode it over to show him... priceless!"</p>
    <p>At the closure of the promotional video, the siblings proudly showcased their creation to their father, beaming like Cheshire cats.</p>
    <p>One particularly impressed admirer expressed: "Can you imagine having this stunning bike in your garage for eternity? I want one!!!"</p>
    <p>This launch occurs amid Harley-Davidson's ongoing <a href="" target="_blank" aria-label="suffer a historic season of chaos (opens in a new tab)" rel="noreferrer noopener">struggles during a tumultuous season</a>, as shareholders engage in conflict with key decision makers.</p>

New Harley-Davidson ‘Doom’ Motorcycle: A Stunning Masterpiece with Sleek Handles, Illuminated Tires, and a Coordinated Outfit

A striking new Harley-Davidson motorcycle featuring glowing red wheels, metal plating, and a spiky helmet has been unveiled.

Enthusiasts praised the “masterpiece,” a unique motorbike resulting from a collaboration between the legendary US maker and an unexpected brand.

Bethesda and Harley-Davidson have collaborated to create a unique motorcycle inspired by the upcoming game, Doom: The Dark Ages.

This bike will debut at a launch event taking place in Sydney, Australia, on May 16.

The custom build is a Sportster S transformed into a medieval-inspired beast.

Designers collaborated with artists from id Software to infuse the video game’s demonic essence into the bike.

A dragon-themed design envelops the front headlight, inspired by Serrat, a robotic entity from the game.

One enthusiast referred to it as the “Serrat 4000 V Cycle,” labeling it a “metallic marvel of craftsmanship.”

The bike features metal armor and symbols from Doom, giving it a look as if it were crafted for a battlefield.

Illuminated accents create a dragon wing effect as the motorbike moves.

The tires glow red like RGB lights from gaming setups, enhancing the strong, gamer aesthetic, according to PC Gamer.

This motorcycle is designed for Doom aficionados and fans of extravagant, bold designs.

One fan quipped, “Once you purchase it, your wallet is DOOMED,” humorously referencing the substantial cost likely associated with such a distinctive, high-caliber motorcycle.

The Doom: The Dark Ages logo boldly adorns the side of the bike.

Simon Alty, VP at Bethesda Softworks, described it as “a match made in Hell.”

“The renowned motorcycle brand symbolizes power and style, just like our legendary DOOM Slayer,” he noted.

Harley-Davidson’s uncertain future

  • May 2020: Jochen Zeitz takes over from Matthew Levatich as the company CEO.
  • April 2021: Zeitz introduces the “Hardwire” five-year strategy, concentrating on revitalizing the core touring lineup and enhancing online sales via the HD-1 Marketplace.
  • April 2021: Harley-Davidson faced significant losses following a threatened 56% tariff from the EU, which ultimately did not materialize, as Reuters reported.
  • December 2024: In Q4, the company reported a loss of $117 million, with domestic market share declining by 13% during the same period.
  • February 2025: The trade dispute between Europe and the Trump administration leads Harley-Davidson’s CEO to declare the company would “fight vigorously” against any tariffs, as reported by Milwaukee Journal.
  • April 1, 2025: Board member Jared Dourdeville resigns from the board, calling for Zeitz’s retirement and attributing the “cultural” decline of the company to him.
  • April 8, 2025: Zeitz announces he intends to step down, remaining CEO until a replacement is appointed.

The themed apparel includes a black leather jacket embellished with gothic spikes and a plush neck collar.

The visually striking helmet features a red visor and a spiky top, complementing the game’s fierce aesthetic.

“This is how game marketing should be. It needs to resonate with the core audience for the game,” expressed another fan.

Some fans are already envisioning themselves on the bike.

One declared, “I promise if I win the competition, I’ll ride it every day, not just for display or resale.”

Only a singular example of this motorcycle exists, rendering it one of the rarest gaming collaborations to date.

Attendees of the May 16 event in Sydney will have the chance to win the bike.

The launch will feature additional Doom-themed activities.

The game itself is set to be released on May 13, taking a darker, medieval turn.

The Sportster S collaboration encapsulates the gritty, intense vibe of the latest game.

Reactions are mixed regarding the price and timing, especially as Harley-Davidson navigates financial challenges.

“It’s quite audacious to spend money on this bike while teetering on the brink of bankruptcy,” remarked one commenter, acknowledging Harley’s financial struggles.
