The Harley Davidson Bad Boy 2025 is back from the ’90s, a mean bobber that’s all about raw power and in-your-face style for riders who live for the open road. Priced around Rs. 22 lakh on-road in India, it’s a pricey but badass pick for weekend rebels and city show-offs. With a beefy Milwaukee-Eight 117 engine and slick rider aids, it’s taking on the Indian Scout Bobber and Triumph Speed Twin. Dropping early 2025, it’s got bike forums buzzing—perfect if you want that Harley growl without the touring heft, though fuel sting might hit hard.
Low and Tough Look
This beast’s about 2250 mm long, 780 mm wide, 1130 mm tall, with a 1570 mm wheelbase that sticks to the pavement like glue. Weighing 295 kg with a low 110 mm clearance, it’s built for cruising, not off-road—solo seat at 680 mm fits shorter guys leaning forward. The 2025 update rocks chopped fenders, a fat front tire, and chrome headlamp nacelle in Vivid Black or a hot red shade. Fat 18-inch front and 16-inch rear alloys with 130/70 and 180/70 tires grip tight—parking’s a chore, but it’s a head-turner at every signal.
No-Nonsense Cockpit
Climb on, and the cushy solo saddle with mini-ape bars and mid pegs feels like a laid-back throne—vibes stay chill for hours. The 5-inch analog-digital dash shows speed, fuel, and ride modes, with Bluetooth for nav or your playlist. USB-C port keeps your phone juiced, and the 13.2L tank keeps it sleek—no storage for extras, but it squeezes into tight spots. It’s all about that wind-in-your-hair buzz for highway blasts or coffee shop flexing.
Big, Growly Engine
The Milwaukee-Eight 117 V-twin pumps 103 hp at 4800 rpm and 168 Nm at 3500 rpm—six gears with a slipper clutch shift like butter, hitting 100 kmph in 4 seconds and topping 200 kmph. Gets 16 kmpl ARAI (14 real-world), stretching 200-220 km per tank at Rs. 10-12/km. Upside-down forks and adjustable mono-shock eat bumps decent, no wobble in turns—grunty low-end for burnouts, but pipes get toasty in traffic jams.
Safety with Swagger
Dual-channel ABS with 300 mm front and 292 mm rear discs stops sharp, even in wet—traction and wheelie control let you push without fear. LED headlamp with DRLs lights up nights, plus a kill switch for smarts. No fancy IMU, but the aluminum frame and chunky tires grip like a vice—built to take city knocks, aiming 5-star Global NCAP for bold riders who skip the nanny stuff.
Price and Dealer Grab
Base Vivid Black at Rs. 19.5 lakh ex-showroom, top trims Rs. 21 lakh—on-road Delhi Rs. 22-24 lakh with taxes. Hits Harley BigWing dealers or BikeWale in early 2025 with deals: Rs. 10k-20k cashback, no-cost EMI on HDFC cards, or free gloves. Book for Rs. 5k—15-30 day waits in cities, 3-year/unlimited km warranty, Rs. 5k-7k yearly service—resale’s 75% if you pamper it.
Rider Talk and Nags
Bikers are pumped for the revival—“that V-twin growl’s unreal,” one Mumbai dude raves—but fuel thirst and a stiff seat bug long rides. Service is ace in metros, spotty in small towns, and the weight’s a pain in stop-go. Beats Scout Bobber on power, lags Speed Twin’s finesse—grab it if torque’s your thing.
Quick Spec Hits
2025 comeback, Rs. 19.5-21 lakh, 117ci V-twin, 103 hp, 16 kmpl ARAI, dual ABS locked in. Check dealers for colors or promos—your muscle ride’s calling.
