2020 Harley-Davidson New Model Announcement

The 2020 Harley-Davidson lineup is headlined by the long-awaited LiveWire electric motorcycle, but there are a few other internal-combustion-engine-powered bikes that might be of interest as well. Keep on reading for a quick look at the new Low Rider S, Road Glide Limited, and three new CVO models including the Tri Glide, Limited, and Street Glide.

“Harley-Davidson offers riders a host of new models, gear, and accessories for 2020 as we leverage our unmatched ability to blend style, performance, and technology in products designed to elevate the motorcycling experience,” said Heather Malenshek, Harley-Davidson chief marketing officer. “This year Harley-Davidson offers more choices for more riders than ever before.”

The all-new 2020 Harley-Davidson LiveWire has been around as a prototype for nearly a half decade. H-D was keen to get this motorcycle perfect before unleashing it on public roads, so we have to assume this is the best version of the coolest new electric motorcycle to come along in years. Make no mistake; there is a lot riding on the LiveWire for Harley. The Motor Company is banking on the public buying into the electric bike market and, unlike the other big manufacturers, is the first of them all to put its money where its mouth is. H-D dealerships that offer the LiveWire will also be equipped with charging stations.

Harley calls the Road Glide Limited its "fully loaded Grand Touring machine" because it comes with all the latest in creature comforts designed to make your long-distance ride as comfortable as possible. It starts up front with the frame-mounted fairing, 13.5-inch windshield, and Boom! Box GTS infotainment center with H-D Connect service. Its big Milwaukee-Eight 114 engine is tuned for torque, giving the rider access to loads of pulling power at the twist of a wrist, and the ultra-bright dual Daymaker Reflector LED headlights are there to shed some light on things if your route takes you into the night. The huge Tour-Pak carrier system features three massive saddlebags and top case to haul your various personal items while the electronic Reflex Linked Brembo brakes with ABS help you remain safe throughout the ride. All of this is available with the chrome package or a blacked-out version.
