2020 Harley-Davidson Deluxe Buyer’s Guide: Specs & Prices

April 29, 2020

When you ask non-motorcyclists to describe a motorcycle, many of them will come up with something that looks very much like the 2020 Harley-Davidson Deluxe. Its iconic look is one that a rider from the 1950s would immediately recognize, with its hardtail look, air-cooled V-twin motor, deeply valanced fenders, tank-mounted speedometer, triple headlights (albeit LEDs), wire-spoke wheels with whitewall tires, and plenty of chrome.

Underneath the timeless good looks of the 2020 Harley-Davidson Deluxe is an impressive motorcycle to ride. The Milwaukee-Eight 107 is good for 109 ft-lbs of torque at just 3000 rpm, and it hauls around the 697-pound Deluxe authoritatively. The modern Softail frame handles well, and the suspension is entirely up to snuff, with the Showa Dual Bending Valve 49mm fork leading the way. The seating position relaxed, with floorboards and wide handlebars. It’s a motorcycle that is a treat to ride, as people look on admiringly.
