1. Street Glide (Especially Street Glide Special)

  • A perennial favorite, the Street Glide—or more specifically the Street Glide Special—is the top-selling touring bike in the U.S. for 2025 

  • Known for its signature batwing fairing, infotainment-ready setup, and long-haul comfort, this bagger combines looks, comfort, and capability.

  • Touring models like this one supported an 8% sales uptick in North America

2. Road Glide

  • Side-by-side with the Street, the Road Glide stands tall in sales—especially in the Touring category that pulled in over 85,000 U.S. units in 2024

  • Its fixed-frame shark-nose fairing and powerful engine make it a lodestar for long-distance riders.

3. Sportster Series (Including Sportster S)

  • The Sportster line—lightweight, versatile, iconic—remains one of Harley’s most popular globally

  • It caters to new riders and urban commuters alike. The modern Sportster S keeps that spirit alive by offering improved suspension and tech for 2025
