Harley-Davidson® Softail® Motorcycles For Sale Near Santa Monica, CA

 What Kind of Softail® Is Right For You?

Deluxe

A lot of Harley owners started their riding days on a Softail® Deluxe. Reminiscent of a lucky older bike that received chrome upgrades from a loving owner, this cruiser always turns heads. The popularity of chrome might wax and wane but like blue jeans; never really goes out of style. The suspension has been redesigned throughout, resulting in no more compressing the shocks so much when a bigger rider hops on. The increase in cornering in a real-world environment is noticed instantly. Sometimes referred to as the "dad jeans" of motorcycles, this bike is no slouch on the road. It's more of a "sleeper": stately and sophisticated looks while ready to pounce at a moment's notice.

Slim

The ideal blend of classic style and new technology, the Softail® Slim is both stripped-down and souped-up. 35 pounds lighter than last year's design, the new Softail has more power, a tighter lean angle, and redesigned suspension. The seat is a tuck-and-roll design, which places you "inside" the bike for more comfort, control, and makes you feel at one with the bike and the road ahead.
The Softail® Slim ships with a Milwaukee-Eight 107 cubic inch engine, cranking out an impressive 110 ft-lb of torque with every twist of your wrist. In addition to more power, this engine runs cooler than previous models, which lets your bike focus on more important matters - like the ride in front of you. The new frame also has 50% fewer component parts and 22% fewer welds, which, coupled with the solid-mount engine, amounts to an overall 34% more rigid chassis. Even the wiring around the handlebars has been cleaned up and minimized. With this design, Harley-Davidson really went for a straight-ahead, no-frills, plain-jane cruiser, again harking back to the days when the popular bikes were the owner-modified American bikes. They nailed it.

Fat Boy

The Fat Boy is one of the most iconic motorcycle designs ever dreamed up. Taking cues from classic cars from eras past, the design of this bike is instantly recognized. The company has been around for a long time, and they have used this time to discover what works and make it a reality. While other manufacturers want to imitate, copy, and switch up their looks to stay with current trends, this bike stays true to its classic form. Before the days when anyone knew about vehicle suspension systems, motorcycles had a pure, minimalist frame. Riders still love this look, but gone are the days when riding meant hours of rattling all over the road. The Softail® has kept this uncluttered look, moving the horizontal rear shocks under the seat and out of sight while keeping the hardtail styling that riders have always loved. At the heart of every motorcycle is the engine. The V-Twin on the Fat Boy is no different. Counterbalanced and bolted directly to the frame, the Fat Boy engine sits perfectly between the downtubes and provides that surge of torque you're looking for as soon as you twist the throttle. For 2018, the Fat Boy is available with an upgraded Air-Cooled Twin Cam 110B™ Screamin' Eagle® or 114 Big Twin engine, further cementing the Fat Boy's place in history as one of the most loved and revered cruisers on the planet.
