Considered by many to be the original “Cowboy Bike” the Heritage Softail Classic is a heavy cruiser that has plenty of performance combo’d with classic style and an aggressive attitude.
This Harley-Davidson is known for being big boned which adds to the comfort factor enabling it to keep up with the Touring models on long-distance trips. It’s more versital though in that it’s possible to shed both the saddle bags and windshield in order to convert the bike into a weekend cruiser devoid of frills.
The 2009 edition of the Heritage Softail Classic shares the 96 cubic-inch air-cooled V-Twin engine, 6-speed transmission, and electronic sequential fuel injection system (ESFI) with the other models on the Softail lineup, so it’s mostly style differences that set this bike apart.
Out front you’ll find a full front fender mounted to heavy weight gas shock fork. Just above is is the detachable Lexan windshield. The instrument console is mounted to the tank, trimmed in chrome, and comes in a ‘Cat Eye’ configuration. Half-moon floorboards are standard for the driver with pegs made available to the passenger. Further back comes the leather saddlebags that add a hint of nostalgia when paired to the custom concho designs. Available in 11 color schemes and shown here in Flame Blue Pearl/Pewter Pearl.
