Harley-davidson Slim Softail

The Harley-davidson Slim Softail has a top speed of 185 km/h (estimated; note: electronically limited in some markets), produces 93 hp and weighs 300 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.5/10.

할리데이비슨 소프테일 슬림은 1950년대 보버 모터사이클의 간결하고 미니멀한 스타일을 연상시키도록 설계된 소프테일 제품군의 일부로 2012년에 출시되었습니다.이 모델은 2018년 할리가 전체 소프테일 라인업을 개편하여 트윈 캠 엔진을 더 강력한 밀워키에이트 107로 교체하고 통합된 리어 서스펜션 프레임으로 전환하면서 새롭게 단장되었습니다.슬림은 검은색으로 칠해진 복고풍 미학, 좁은 프로파일, 구식 스프링거 스타일의 포크 외관으로 유명하며, 라인업 중 시각적으로 가장 차별화된 크루저 중 하나입니다.

Milwaukee-Eight Reliability

2018+ Slim models with the Milwaukee-Eight 107 engine are considered significantly more reliable than older Twin Cam versions, with improved oil cooling and fewer heat-related issues. Regular oil changes every 5,000 miles are key to longevity.

⚠️

Watch for Compensator Noise

A common issue on pre-2018 Slim models is compensator sprocket wear, often presenting as a loud clunking noise on startup. Budget $300–$600 for replacement if buying used, and always test ride cold.

💰

Strong Resale Value

The Slim holds its value exceptionally well due to its clean, retro-bobber styling with broad appeal, typically retaining 70–80% of its value after three years. Low-mileage examples with minimal modifications command the highest resale prices.

7.5/10
최적 대상
Experienced cruiser riders wanting authentic American style

"A genuinely desirable cruiser — buy smart and you won't regret it."

$8,500-$16,500 used

The Slim is one of Harley's better-looking Softails — that blacked-out, stripped-down aesthetic ages well and still turns heads at every gas station. If you're shopping used, stick to 2018 and newer when Milwaukee-Eight replaced the Twin Cam. Night and day difference in heat management, vibration, and actual power delivery. The older 103/110 Twin Cams run forever if maintained, but they'll cook your right leg in traffic and the top-end rush just isn't there. Check the primaries for leaks, inspect the rear tire for cupping (these things eat rear tires if alignment's off), and make sure the stage tuning hasn't been butchered by some guy who watched a YouTube video. Aftermarket exhausts are almost universal — not necessarily a problem, but get it dyno-tuned or expect flat spots. Suspension is soft from the factory, borderline embarrassing on anything other than smooth tarmac. Budget $400-600 for a rear shock upgrade if you're doing real miles.
