Harley-Davidson Tourers Return To The Lineup, With More To Come

Harley-Davidson has announced a few returning bikes for 2025, with more to come before the end of the month—but it’s interesting to see what hasn’t been confirmed yet.

But first, a look at what we know is returning. According to their PR:

Grand American Touring: From the company that invented the cross-country experience. Grand American Touring models are designed to carry riders over the horizon with comfort, performance and technology that makes the journey spectacular. Returning models include the Street Glide, Road Glide, and Road King Special motorcycles.

Trike: Harley-Davidson Trike models offer an appealing option for those who appreciate the confidence of a three-wheel platform. Returning models include the Road Glide 3, Freewheeler, and Tri Glide Ultra motorcycles.

All high-dollar bikes, and all models you’d expect to see return, even those trikes. As the population ages and Can-Am’s three-wheelers become more popular, it’s worth noting that Harley also seems to be prioritizing its own trike lineup.

And then, Harley-Davidson says its CVO (Custom Vehicle Operations) program is going to return this year, with a lineup of factory custom machines. And then we also see H-D offering its new Harley-Davidson Factory Custom Paint & Graphics program. This is going to be available on “select motorcycle models” (so, not the whole lineup) through a dealer. Order your bike, order the paint job, and you get your own factory-warrantied finish off the showroom floor without having to take the bike to another third-party painter.

That’s the advantage Harley-Davidson is billing, anyway, with multiple paint schemes offered in 2025:

Each paint set features a special black tank medallion with chrome accents and a mother-of-pearl textured background in either purple or orange.

Mystic Shift offers a dramatic hue shift which travels from a dark gun metal to purple to blue to almost orange and is especially apparent in full sunlight when walking around the motorcycle.

Firestorm responds to a current custom trend for flame details in paint. Harley-Davidson offered its first factory flame paint scheme on the 1980 Wide Glide model and has reprised the look several times, most notably on the 2011 Wide Glide model. The Firestorm schemes feature a “ghost fade” or inner fade effect – the fade color is slightly brighter than the basecoat. In certain angles, the flames pop dramatically but are subtle in others. The Firestorm schemes are available in two popular colors.

Midnight Firestorm is a dark flamed paint scheme featuring ghosted flames over a Vivid Black base with a charcoal inner glow. Whiskey Firestorm features an added mid-coat for a deeper orange shade with Ember Sunglo ghost flames with a brighter orange inner glow.

There you have it. As for the Sport lineup, or the Adventure tourers, or anything else, stay tuned. Harley-Davidson says more bikes are coming later this month and we expect additions to these newly built-overseas lineups.
