2013 Harley Davidson


Harley will produce extremely limited editions of just seven 110th-anniversary models for 2013, all of which will be serialized and sold with commemorative, solid bronze fuel tank badges and vintage bronze or vintage black paint. The 1200 Custom, Super Glide Custom, Fat Boy Lo, Heritage Softail Classic and Road King are among the handful of bestselling models that will be produced as 110th anniversary editions.

For its 105th anniversary, Harley offered twice as many special editions with three times the production numbers. Each of the Harley-Davidson's 800 U.S. dealerships will receive just two or three 110th-anniversary bikes, which will begin deliveries during the second week of September, according to Harley-Davidson media relations manager, Jennifer Hoyer. The rest of the 2013 lineup will be available this week.


Aside from the special anniversary edition, The Custom Vehicle Operations (CVO) line of motorcycles from Harley-Davidson represents the very best that the company has to offer. Each individual model represents the flagship of the company and stands to show what is possible with a custom. According to H-D, the CVO owner isn’t just the average bike buyer off the streets. No, the CVO buyer represents the alpha customer that is not willing to settle for anything but the very best.

It’s not often that H-D releases a new model to its upscale CVO line but for 2013, there is a new big dog running the streets with the release of the CVO Breakout.



The Breakout is based on:

  • The Softail chassis with a laundry list of new innovations. 
  • Starting with a 110ci Twin Cam motor, the Breakout is rated at 112 lb-ft of torque at 2,750 rpm and has the highest power-to-weight of any of the current CVO lineup. 
  • Anti-lock breaks, cruise control, and keyless ignition all come standard along with the H-D security system.
  • Starting at the front, a new 21-spoke, 21-inch turbine-inspired wheel wrapped in a 130mm front tire spins like a diamond-studded roulette wheel going down the road. 
  • A new wider all-chrome 49mm frontend with chopped front fender give the rim maximum exposure and is wider than the previous FX Softails. 
  • Out back, a rear chopped fender showcases the massive 240mm rear tire proving that the wide look isn’t dead yet.  In order to achieve a long, low, and lean look, a new ultra-low profile tank console was used with two braided stainless steel lines looking more like art than vents. Long, wide 1.25-inch handlebars house a 4-inch digital speedo/analog tachometer. A faux alligator skin leather seat finishes off the look.
  • A faux alligator skin leather seat finishes off the look. 
  • The seat, as well as the whole bike would probably look better with something more sleek and subtle. Available in silver, green, or red, each color is quite unique in its appearance. 
  • The mirrored finish of the Black Diamond and Molten Silver is achieved thanks to a 10-step hand sanding, three-step polishing process that is sealed with a special clear. The result is a black chrome industrial appearance that is clean and classy.

  1. What's the horsepower?! So many sights posting the same thing that Harley has on it's website (without the horsepower) that they must simply be embarrassed that it's cranking out some piddly double digit number.
