Bike Spotlight: 2019 Harley-Davidson® Softail

Bike Spotlight: 2019 Harley-Davidson® Softail


It seems that the highly criticized turn towards performance Harley-Davidson took a couple of years back is now paying off big time. Perhaps, the 2019 Harley Softail series proves the point the most. During the 1990s and the early 2000s, where many felt like there was just not enough variety between the models in their series, it definitely cannot be said about them today. There are 14 Softail models, and the distinctions between them are quite visible, and what's more important to riders, palpable. Let's get into it.

What 2019 Harley Softail Models Have in Common?
Some of the models remained practically the same comparing to the last year's series, but some of them got completely revamped. Small tweaks on Harley's V-twin engine resulted in just a bit more oomph; just that one last drop that was missing to name it a timeless classic. Now the engine sounds amazing as opposed to "just great;" it no longer can be considered harmless, safe and boring.
The other thing many have really noticed is the improvements to the chassis and the braking system. While many of the models had double discs up front in the previous lineup, this is now a feature only on Fat Bob. After hours of test riding each model, most people barely notice it, until they read it on the official site. The ride quality is substantially improved, and the Fat Bob really stood out from the crowd with amazing cornering clearance. 2019 Softail bikes are made with performance in mind while maintaining the soul and the heritage of thoroughbred hogs we got from Harley-Davidson over the decades.

What Are the Differences Between the Series Models?
There are 14 models in the 2019 Harley Softail series and discussing each of them individually is definitely something we look forward to doing in the future. Right now, let’s just list out all the models and simply direct you to the Buddy Stubbs Harley-Davidson page where you can get a better insight into each of these models;

Conclusion

You should do your research, test drive them all, and look for your local Buddy Stubbs Harley-Davidson dealership in Anthem. Schedule your test rides and see what makes Harley-Davidson Softail models instant classics.
