Harley-Davidson FXDR Limited Edition Model Unveiled

Harley-Davidson has unveiled a new limited edition model, called the Harley-Davidson FXDR 114 Limited Edition. But the new model will only be available for sale in the UK and Ireland. Only 30 bikes will be produced of the softail custom with all bikes allocated to the UK and Ireland. The new model has a different paint scheme, and has been created with the help of UK-based painters and custom design house Image Custom Design, with the changes to the limited edition FXDR being purely cosmetic.

The Limited Edition model will have a custom colour scheme along with a single-piece flat handlebar

The biggest change is of course the paint scheme. The plain white paint scheme of the H-D FXDR has been replaced by a white, black and gold colour scheme across the fuel tank, headlight, front fender and tail unit. The custom paint scheme is all done by hand, including the pinstripes by Image Custom Design, and it certainly gives the bike a striking appearance. In addition, there will be a Limited Edition tag, with a unique serial number assigned to each of the 30 bikes. The FXDR Limited Edition also comes with a single-piece handlebar mounted on a 'Fat Ape' handlebar riser kit that replaces the stock clip-ons.

The v-twin engine puts out 90 bhp at 4,500 rpm and 160 Nm of peak torque at 3,500 rpm. The Harley-Davidson FXDR Limited Edition is priced at GBP 18,345 (around Rs. 16.98 lakh under current exchange rates), compared to the GBP 17,995 (around Rs. 16.67 lakh under current exchange rates) of the standard model.

Harley-Davidson has been reeling under declining sales for a few months now, and with a new President and CEO at the helm now, the iconic American motorcycle brand intends to focus on traditional markets, instead of focussing on newer global markets. Europe has been an important market for Harley-Davidson outside its home market of the US. The new 'Rewire' strategy unveiled by Jochen Zeitz, the new CEO, intends to shift focus back on the core demographics of Harley-Davidson's cruiser business, rather than venture into new segments, including lighter models planned for Asian markets.

A 1200 cc modern classic with similar design lines as Triumph's iconic Bonneville series, has reportedly been cleared for production.

Image
While there still doesn't seem to be a buyer for iconic British brand Norton Motorcycles which went into administration in January this year, the firm's 650 cc parallel-twin seems to be finding life in China. While Norton apparently sold off the engine rights of its 961 engine to China's Jinglang just before the brand went into administration, the deal for the 650 cc engine was finalized way back in 2017 with Chinese giant Zongshen. The 650 cc parallel-twin engine was due to be used in Norton's Atlas and Superlight models, but now it looks like that engine platform will make its debut in a Zongshen motorcycle, called the Cyclone R6.
