A HARLEY-Davidson model, characterized by its blend of sophistication and raw power, has been unveiled, featuring large, stylish wheels.
The V-twin racing street custom series was phased out eight years ago. Since then, many enthusiasts have sought custom builders to craft their own distinctive motorcycles, echoing the style of the original line.

A standout custom build by Spanish firm Lord Drake Kustoms features the Night Rod Special, a drag bike renowned for its performance, showcasing a range of impressive modifications.
The most notable upgrade is the rear wheel, which has been enlarged from 240mm to the maximum legal 330mm.
The entire rear assembly has been revamped, including a new swingarm and a transmission adjustment.
The shock spacers have also been overhauled, complemented by the Legend air suspension that allows for height adjustments on the fly.
Many aftermarket parts were custom-fabricated by Lord Drake Kustoms.
This includes the wheel fenders, seat, and numerous body components, with the rear fender also housing an integrated LED taillight.
One of the few unchanged elements is the engine, retaining the original stock Revolution motor developed by Harley-Davidson in collaboration with Porsche.
The engine generates 120 horsepower, though it now features a bespoke exhaust system.
Visually, the V-Rod is adorned in matte black, gloss black, and gold accents. Its generously sized seat is embellished with diamond stitching in gold thread and engraved plaques.
The rear fender features Roman numerals, a personal touch known only to the motorcycle’s owner from Mexico.
Harley-Davidson reveals brand new bike that pays homage to iconic model as fans rave over ‘masterpiece’
Described as “elegant and brutal,” the bike’s price is yet to be disclosed. However, used stock versions can range from $6,000 to $16,000.
It has been a significant week for Harley-Davidson, with discussions about a potential leadership change following calls for the removal of the CEO.
The company’s second-largest shareholder was advocating for the ousting of three board members, including CEO Jochen Zeitz, in a considerable restructuring.
Nonetheless, Zeitz retained his position in a tightly contested board vote, described by Reuters as a “razor-thin outcome.”
Having led the iconic brand since 2020, Zeitz has faced scrutiny amid declining sales and a plummeting stock value.
H Partners had urged the board to consider an external candidate, but proxy advisory firm Institutional Shareholder Services found their arguments for change lacking.
There are indications that Zeitz may retire this year; however, he maintains he will stay until a successor is found.
Harley-Davidson closures in 2024
There are now over 650 Harley-Davidson dealerships in the U.S.
However, numerous stores have shut down throughout 2024 for various reasons, some without explanation.
Here are some Harley-Davidson locations that have closed this year and the reasons behind their closures:
A San Francisco location ceased operations in June 2024 after 110 years due to ‘chaos’ stemming from new management.
Miracle City Harley-Davidson in Titusville, Florida, closed in September 2024; no reason was provided.
Harley-Davidson’s historic location in New York City closed on September 28, 2024, with the owner citing economic challenges.
Reiman’s Harley-Davidson dealership in Kewanee, Illinois, closed its doors in October 2024 after its owners sold to the Walter Brothers Harley-Davidson dealership in Peoria, Illinois.
Another Illinois dealership also closed in November 2024.
Additionally, the West Bend, Wisconsin dealership is temporarily closing for the season from November 2 to April 1, 2024.
In 2025, Hideout Harley-Davidson in Missouri announced it would close at the end of March.

The Japanese automotive powerhouse Yamaha has unveiled an AI-enhanced “motorcycle of the future” featuring extraordinary elements, such as wheels that luminesce at night.
This revolutionary concept originated from a partnership with Netflix’s sci-fi anime series, Tokyo Override.

Netflix approached Yamaha to feature some of their bikes within the series.
This request led Yamaha to provide 3D data, imagery, and audio recordings of their motorcycles.
To craft the design, Yamaha integrated the finest features from their YZF-R1 superbike and VMAX muscle cruiser, adding a futuristic spin.
Named the Y/AI, this extraordinary design showcases spokeless, semi-transparent wheels that emit a dazzling blue glow while in motion.
The engine is cleverly hidden within the bridge connecting the wheels, resulting in an elegant, minimalist form.
The handlebars are uniquely situated on the sides of the front forks, linked by an arch, further enhancing its futuristic aesthetic.
The series, which is set in Tokyo 100 years ahead, depicts a reality where AI is woven into everyday activities, automating various aspects, including vehicle operation.
In the show, the superbike navigates its advanced cityscape, but it was transformed into a full-scale concept model showcased at the Motor Expo 2024 in Bangkok.
The event ran from November 29 through December 10.
This live unveiling came on the heels of the Netflix series release of Tokyo Override, which premiered on November 21.

In other motorcycle-related news, the US brand Harley-Davidson has announced it is broadening its collaboration with a two-wheeler company to launch a new model.
The motorcycle giant is enhancing its partnership with Hero MotoCorp.
Additionally, a biker recently shared her experience of waiting over a year for a component for her Harley after experiencing a breakdown during a road trip.
The disappointed rider scoured two continents for a solution but eventually learned she was facing a peculiar technical issue.
Larissa Scheler from Hanover, Germany, was relishing a summer ride through the French island of Corsica when her 2007 Harley Davidson Sportster suddenly stalled.
Being mechanically inclined, she quickly identified that the problem lay with the engine control module.
This essential central computer oversees nearly every engine function.
Without it, the motorcycle effectively operates without a reliable sense of when to inject fuel into the cylinders, when to ignite it, or when to release the exhaust.
Clearly, this is neither safe nor efficient; hence, Larissa sought to order a replacement module at her earliest opportunity.
Regrettably, this occurred in the summer of 2023, and this seasoned motorcyclist was still waiting for the part as of last month.
