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.

哈雷戴维森 Softail Slim 于 2012 年作为 Softail 系列的一部分推出,旨在唤起 20 世纪 50 年代摇头摩托车的精简极简主义风格。它在2018年进行了改版,当时哈雷彻底改革了整个Softail阵容,用更强大的Milwaukee-Eight 107取代了双凸轮发动机,并过渡到统一的后悬架框架。Slim 以其遮光的复古美学、狭窄的轮廓和老式的弹簧式前叉外观而著称,使其成为该阵容中视觉上最具特色的巡洋舰之一。

买家应该知道什么

🔧

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
最适合
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.
