Harley-Davidson just unveiled a new special edition of its iconic cruiser — the Fat Boy Gray Ghost. With its aggressive styling and muscular stance, the Fat Boy has long been an icon of the Harley-Davidson stable. Now, with the Gray Ghost model, Harley combines heritage with a sneaky contemporary flair that will stop traffic — from Mumbai to Miami.
A New Take on an American Icon
The Gray Ghost variant uses the base Fat Boy’s imposing outline and coats it in a glossy, matte gray coat. It’s a radical departure from classic chrome-laden cruisers, reserved for riders who enjoy stripped-back yet aggressive looks.
Highlights of the visual updates are:
- Matte Gray Ghost color scheme
- Blacked-out engine parts
- Iconic solid-disc Lakester wheels
- Exclusive badging specific to this model
This edition is less of a throwback and more of a futuristic tribute to the iconic American road cruiser.
Built on Proven Power
The Fat Boy Gray Ghost may look stunning, but it also has the muscle to match the looks. Harley-Davidson has powered it with the tried-and-tested Milwaukee-Eight 114 engine, a cruiser favorite for its smooth delivery of torque and deep, throaty exhaust note.
Engine Specifications:
- Engine: Milwaukee-Eight 114 V-Twin
- Displacement: 1868cc
- Torque: 155 Nm @ 3250 rpm
- Transmission: 6-speed manual
- Weight: Approx. 317 kg (curb)
This powerhouse ensures the Gray Ghost delivers that signature Harley “roll-on torque”, perfect for highway cruising and urban rides alike — whether you’re riding down LA’s Pacific Coast Highway or cruising the streets of New Delhi.
Global Appeal, Local Impact
Harley-Davidson has made it evident that the Gray Ghost will be produced in limited quantities, which only makes it more desirable. Although exact numbers have not been announced, it’s likely to sell in major international markets, including:
- United States: Priced at approximately $21,000 USD
- India: Likely to be priced between ₹25 lakh to ₹27 lakh (ex-showroom)
With the partnership of Harley-Davidson and Hero MotoCorp in India, it is probable that this special edition will be highlighted at flagship stores in Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru.
For the Bold Rider
The Fat Boy has long been a standout within Harley’s lineup — and the Gray Ghost variant reinforces that position. This bike is for riders who:
- Yearn for uniqueness on the road
- Opt for blacked-out styling over chrome
- Place high value on performance and exclusivity
- Desire a cruiser that addresses heritage as well as modernity
If you’re the type that desires a bike that will ride custom straight from the showroom floor, this release has it all.
