Harley-Davidson Softail Standard – Full Description
The Harley-Davidson Softail Standard is a stripped-down, classic cruiser that embodies the pure essence of Harley’s iconic styling. Designed for riders who crave a raw, minimalistic experience with modern performance, the Softail Standard blends a timeless silhouette with powerful torque and contemporary engineering.
At the heart of the bike is the Milwaukee-Eight® 107 V-twin engine — delivering strong low-end torque, signature Harley-Davidson rumble, and smooth acceleration. The lightweight Softail frame provides responsive handling, while the hidden rear monoshock keeps the classic hardtail look intact.
A clean, minimalist design with solo seat, chopped fenders, and polished finishes gives it a custom-ready appeal. The Softail Standard is ideal for riders who want an affordable Harley-Davidson with lots of room for personalization — whether you're keeping it stock or building your dream bobber.
