Harley-Davidson announces pricing for 2020 Softail Standard

Harley-Davidson has announced the release of the 2020 Softail Standard, a cruiser with a lean bobber profile and powered by the Milwaukee-Eight V-Twin engine. Priced at $21, 495 ride-away, the Softail Standard offers an affordable entry point for riders new to Harley’s big-twin range.

The new Softail Standard features a classic ‘Vivid Black’ paint scheme which is complimented by chrome and polished finishes. The bike is equipped with a solo seat, chopped rear fender and a 13.2-litre fuel tank that reveals the frame and engine.

The all-black Milwaukee-Eight 107 engine is the main attraction and is designed to draw attention to the centre of the motorcycle. With chrome shields and mufflers, the 2-into-2 offset shotgun exhaust enhances the long, low profile of the Softail Standard.

Dual counter-balancers reduce primary vibration at idle for improved rider comfort. The four-valve cylinder heads provide ample airflow while advance cylinder head design, dual knock sensors, and precision cooling allow a 10.0:1 compression ratio for strong torque output and acceleration.

As is the case with all Harley’s, there are stacks of options and accessories available. The company says that the Softail Standard is a blank canvas, which allows for customisation and personalisation. There are four dedicated accessory packages available, including the Day Tripper, Coast, Touring and Performance packages. Each package comes with a range of accessories aimed at different applications.

The new Softail standard will be available soon. Contact your local Harley-Davidson dealership for more information.
