Admin Posted July 11, 2024 Posted July 11, 2024 The base model comes in Billiard Gray with chrome finishes. (Harley-Davidson/) Overview In the mid-’80s, Harley-Davidson introduced the Heritage moniker on its new Softail line, reviving the iconic style of the 1950s Hydra-Glides and predating motorcycling’s retro craze that would come decades later. Generations of Heritage models later, the 2024 Heritage Classic 114 continues to gush Hydra-Glide vibes. From the standpoint of 2024, the Heritage Classic 114 just looks “classic Harley” more than intentionally retro—for that check out the 2024 Hydra-Glide Revival, this year’s Icons Collection exemplar and a1956 FLH doppelgänger. The Heritage Classic 114 has Harley’s Milwaukee-Eight 114 engine, lockable saddlebags, a detachable windscreen, cruise control, and ABS: a pretty touring-ready cruiser by any measure. Available with either chrome or blacked-out finishes, it’s up to you how retro you want to go; it’s amazing how blacked-out finishes alone make it look far more modern. Most of all, modernity is on full display when the thing is underway. A linear powerband, robust torque delivery, smooth shifter action, and confidence-inspiring handling affirm that despite an understandable love of the classic lines of a 1950s H-D Panhead, 2024 is better in pretty much every way. The marriage of the classic two-tone paint job and the blacked-out trim accentuates the retro-modern balance that the Heritage Classic excels at achieving. (Harley-Davidson/) Pricing and Variants The 2024 Harley-Davidson Heritage Classic 114 starts at $22,499 with chrome finishes and the Billiard Gray color.
