Harley-Davidson has revealed a stunning new limited-edition model for global markets—the Fat Boy Gray Ghost. This motorcycle marks 35 years of the original Fat Boy and is part of the brand’s exclusive Icons Collection. With only 1990 units being produced worldwide, the Gray Ghost blends classic Harley muscle with new-age detailing and technology.
Design
The Gray Ghost sticks to the familiar and iconic Fat Boy silhouette. It’s big, bold, and unmistakably Harley, with a wide stance and fat tyres that give it commanding road presence. The body panels are unchanged from the regular model, but it’s the finish that truly makes it stand out.
The standout feature is the Reflection finish. Harley-Davidson has achieved this high-gloss, chrome-like look using a physical vapour deposition (PVD) technique. Previously, this advanced painting process was reserved for smaller parts, but in a first, Harley has applied it to large body panels like the fuel tank. The result is a mirror-like shine that adds an ultra-premium, futuristic vibe to the bike.
Special Touches
Apart from the paint job, Harley has added a few other visual elements to make the Gray Ghost unique. It comes with a special leather seat, 3D tank medallion, and vintage-style laced trim and tassels. These touches tie in the legacy aspect of the bike, giving it both a premium and nostalgic appeal.
Each of the 1990 units will also get individual badging to indicate its limited-edition status, making it a collectible for hardcore Harley enthusiasts.
Engine
Underneath the gorgeous skin lies the powerful Milwaukee-Eight 117 V-twin engine. This 1,923cc motor produces approximately 101bhp and 165Nm of torque, giving the Gray Ghost plenty of grunt. It retains that classic Harley rumble but packs modern rideability.
To suit different riding conditions, the bike offers three ride modes—Rain, Road, and Sport. These modes help tailor the throttle response and power delivery, making it more manageable in varying environments.
Global Availability
As of now, Harley-Davidson has confirmed the Fat Boy Gray Ghost for international markets only. There’s no word yet on India allocations, but given the brand’s fanbase in the country, there’s hope. If it does arrive on Indian shores, expect the price to sit well north of ₹25 lakh (ex-showroom), considering its exclusivity and imported status.
With its unique PVD finish, commemorative design elements, and limited numbers, the Fat Boy Gray Ghost is a perfect tribute to one of Harley-Davidson’s most legendary motorcycles. It’s not just a bike—it’s a celebration of history, craftsmanship, and Harley heritage.
