Harley Davidson is one of the popular brands that are known for their iconic cruiser bikes all over the world. The company was founded by William S.

The company gained recognition due to their powerful V-twin engine and the roadster body type. The brand is revered by bike lovers from all over the world and even from fan clubs that are dedicated to the brand.

Harley Davidson bikes are powered by engines of humongous power that make them appear on the superbikes list. Harley Davidson is known to make cruiser bikes, but only some of them are offered with the powerful engines.

1. Harley Davidson CVO: The bike was manufactured at the American company’s Rushmore plant. The bike is built on the tourer bike platform that gives it cruiser bikes look. At the front, the bike features full LED headlight and twin fog lamps. To enhance the look of the bike, the front of the bike has a big front fairing with nakedly chiselled clear lens visor. For superior performance, the bike features Twin-Cooled™ Twin Cam 110™ engine that comes mated to a six-speed gearbox setup. The bike generates torque upto 156 Nm at 3750 rpm.

1. Harley Davidson Street Glide: The bike features a large front cowl with windshield, low slung seating and carries bags behind the driver’s seat. The bike is powered by the 1.7-litre V-twin unit that produces close to 65bhp and 134Nm of torque; the engine allows the bike to generate high power at low acceleration.

1. Harley Davidson : The Forty-Eight is the sports series from the American bike manufacturer. The bike was made in the classic design alternative to the dark series sportsters. It has the traditional peanut-shaped tank, spoked wheels and lots of chrome. The bike runs on the Evolution® 1200 cc V-Twin engine that generates power upto 60.83 PS @ 5500 rpm and torque upto 96 Nm @ 4250 rpm.

1. Harley Davidson Street Bob: The sleek body and a small fuel tank make the bike achieve great speeds. The bike features the LCD instrument panel integrated into the handlebar mount that gives the bike a minimal look. The squat, round, single-pod headlight unit now gets the full LED treatment, and the LED daytime running light (DRL) ring around the main light is a very distinctive touch.

There are many Harley Davidson superbikes in India, but due to their high price, they are only afforded by the people in the elite class. The brand has tough competition in the market with rivals like Indian, Moto Guzzi and Triumph but the upcoming Harley Davidson superbikes are expected to be one step ahead in the competition.
