ADRENALINE MIXED WITH A SHOT OF GARAGE-BUILT CUSTOM STYLE.

2020 Harley-Davidson Roadster:

The adrenaline of the Roadster™ comes from a 1200cc V-Twin, 43mm inverted front forks, dual disc brakes, adjustable rear suspension, speedo with tach, mid-mount controls, and lowered bars. The style? Chopped rear fender, side mount license plate (US only), 19” front and 18” rear wheels, iconic tank and new graphics.

It’s a street-eating machine with tucked in, fast back style and 1200cc of corner-cranking torque.

2020 Harley-Davidson Roadster Totalmotorcycle.com Features

1200 cc Air-Cooled Evolution® Engine

An iconic V-Twin engine that is renowned for its massive low-end torque and soul-satisfying sound. Lightweight aluminium heads and cylinders improve air-cooling efficiency.

 

Blacked-Out Styling

There’s plenty of black to bring a dark edge to the garage-built look of the Roadster™ motorcycle. The mirrors, belt guard and headlamp are black. The oval air cleaner has a black insert. There are slotted black exhaust shields and a blacked-out powertrain.

 

Lowered bars & Speedo with Tach

You get the performance, and the look and feel of slammed handlebars that put you in an aggressive riding position. The gauge includes a speedometer and tach so you can keep track of what’s going on in your power plant.

 

43mm Front Suspension with Inverted Forks

The 43mm front suspension with inverted forks features cartridge damping and the brawny look of massive new triple clamps. They’ll keep your rubber on the road when the pavement gets rough.

 

Dual Disc Front Brakes with Floating Rotors

Dual disc front brakes with floating rotors so you can be more confident in your stopping with all that muscle behind you.

 

Aggressive and Comfortable Two-Up Seat

The optimal combination of comfort and custom style. It’s a low profile, two-up seat with a nice, deep scoop to keep you firmly planted under acceleration, and it puts you just 29.5 inches off the ground for a low center of gravity and confident handling.

 

Light-Weight Offset Split 5-Spoke Wheels

19-inch front and 18-inch rear wheels that give the bike a custom look, easy-steering and a better power to weight ratio.
