Speedway Harley-Davidson® - The 2023 Harley-Davidson® Adventure Touring Line near Hickory NC

Motorcycle enthusiasts can now test ride the 2023 Harley-Davidson® Adventure Touring models in Concord at Speedway Harley-Davidson®. We get many questions about the Adventure Touring family. An adventure or ADV bike is a motorcycle designed to perform well on paved surfaces but off-road as well. Harley-Davidson® calls its motorcycle adventure tourers as it takes this concept a step further and even markets it to riders who view touring as detouring. ADV bikes aren’t new in concept, but they traditionally haven’t lived up to the lofty aspirations. But that changed recently due to new suspension innovations, and the Pan America™ 1250 is one of the first true ADV bikes as a result.

The Pan America™ 1250 is the first of the Harley-Davidson® Adventure Touring models, and it performs well on the road and off. This is something that many enthusiasts won’t believe until they experience it for themselves, but it is very much true. You can actually do traditional touring with this motorcycle and there are upgrades available, such as the Ultimate Trekker package, that will help you do that. The Pan America™ 1250 is available in a singular aesthetic: blacked out with a Vivid Black paint scheme. It’s powered by the liquid-cooled Revolution® Max 1250 powertrain, and it offers preprogrammed and custom ride modes that let you shape the riding dynamics of this impressive ADV bike.

The Pan America™ 1250 Special is a deluxe version of the standard model. It comes standard with cast wheels but also gives you the option of lace wheels. Vivid Black is standard here as well, but you also have two premium aesthetics to choose from: Industrial Yellow with White Sand and Gray Haze. The biggest difference is that the Special offers Adaptive Ride Height as a factory-installed option, and this is a revolutionary suspension design that is highly recommended to any rider who’ll use their Pan America™ for serious off-roading. The ARH is also fully integrated into the ride mode system. Visit us near Hickory NC. Also serving Rock Hill South Carolina, Statesville, and Concord North Carolina.

Speedway Harley-Davidson® - The 2023 Harley-Davidson® Sport Category Models near Matthews NC

The Sport series is one of the newest additions to the Harley-Davidson® lineup available through Speedway Harley-Davidson®. It was launched last model year with two Harley-Davidson® Sport category models—Sportster® S and Nightster™—and was expanded this model year to include the Nightster™ Special. Sport bikes are a type of motorcycle that rose to prominence in the 1980s. They were motorcycles inspired by professional racing bikes but which were street-legal. Over time, the segment has developed into a genre that appeals to a wide range of enthusiasts and even more now that Harley-Davidson® has entered the fray.

One of the core goals for the new Sport family was to reimagine the iconic Sportster® as if it had first been developed today rather than in 1957. The result of that project is the Sportster® S, which is the first and still only Harley-Davidson® model developed specifically as a sport bike. The bike boasts a lean and mean style that is still very much a Harley-Davidson® design. It’s powered by a liquid-cooled powertrain that doles out 150 horsepower and plenty of torque throughout the powerband. Vivid Black is the default aesthetic, but you also have the choice of White Sand Pearl, Gray Haze, and Bright Billiard Blue.

Harley-Davidson® also wanted to develop a modern, sport-oriented Sportster® that appealed to its traditional base, and this is where the Nightster™ and Nightster™ Special come in. These 2023 Harley-Davidson® Sport models are perfect for the rider who wants a sportier riding experience but prefers the classic Sportster® silhouette and the more traditional cruiser experience. The Nightster™ is offered in either Vivid Black or Redline Red. The Nightster™ Special is offered in Vivid Black, Black Denim, Bright Billiard Blue, and Industrial Yellow. The Nightster™ Special is also notable in that it has some of the advanced features from the Sportster® S, such as the LCD screen and selectable ride modes. Visit us near Matthews NC. Also serving Rock Hill South Carolina, Hickory, and Statesville North Carolina.
