Harley-davidson Softail Slim
The Harley-davidson Softail Slim has a top speed of 185 km/h (estimated), produces 94 hp and weighs 303 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.5/10.
할리데이비슨 소프테일 슬림은 1940년대와 1950년대의 줄무늬 보버 스타일 오토바이를 연상시키도록 설계된 소프테일 제품군의 일부로 2012년에 출시되었습니다.솔로 시트, 레트로 헤드라이트 나셀, 블랙 아웃 엔진 부품 등 미니멀한 미학이 특징인 이 모델은 클래식하고 군더더기 없는 크루저 룩을 원하는 라이더들에게 어필합니다.이 모델은 Harley가 새로운 Milwaukee-Eight 엔진과 개선된 섀시로 전체 소프테일 라인업을 개편하면서 2018년에 업데이트되었습니다. 이를 통해 기존 비주얼 아이덴티티는 유지하면서 성능과 핸들링이 크게 향상되었습니다.

구매자가 알아야 할 사항
Strong Resale Value
The Softail Slim consistently holds 70-80% of its value after 3 years, outperforming most competitors. Its timeless bobber styling keeps demand high in the used market.
Watch the Primary Chain
Pre-2018 models with the Twin Cam 103 engine are known for primary chain tensioner wear, which can cause rattling and costly repairs if ignored. Always inspect or ask about service history on this component.
Milwaukee-Eight Reliability Boost
2018+ models upgraded to the Milwaukee-Eight 107 engine, which runs significantly cooler and smoother than the older Twin Cam, reducing long-term maintenance costs and improving overall longevity.

밀워키-에이트 107 엔진은 다이나 및 구형 소프테일 플랫폼을 대체하는 수정된 소프테일 프레임으로 서스펜션과 핸들링을 개선했습니다.
중고 구매자 리뷰
"A characterful, honest cruiser that rewards patient, smooth riders."
$9,000-$16,000 usedThe Softail Slim is Harley's most honest retro cruiser — it doesn't pretend to be a sport bike and doesn't apologize for it. The 107ci Milwaukee-Eight (post-2018 bikes) transforms this from a competent cruiser into something genuinely enjoyable, with real torque that rewards lazy throttle work and highway pulls. Pre-2018 Twin Cams are fine but run hotter and vibrate more aggressively at speed. Check the primary chain tensioner on anything pre-2016 — it's a known weak spot that owners quietly ignore until it becomes your problem. Used examples flood the market because Harley buyers upgrade constantly, which means you can find low-mileage Slims for reasonable money. Look for bikes with the stage one upgrade already done — most have it. Avoid anything with suspension modifications unless you know what was fitted. The stock suspension is already mediocre; wrong aftermarket parts make it genuinely dangerous. The 16-inch front wheel looks period-correct but limits steering input significantly compared to bigger-wheeled alternatives.
