Harley-Davidson has dominated the American touring bike segment for decades, which means they’ve pretty much defined what the bikes and the market should look like.

American-style touring motorcycles have evolved from simple machines with large windshields to today’s uber-comfortable full-dresser and bagger behemoths, jam-packed with electronics and rider aids.

Harley-Davidson isn’t known for its affordability; even the brand’s cheapest touring bike costs 20 grand. Here, we’ve excluded the trikes and listed the motorcycles in ascending order from least to most expensive. All the information is sourced from H-D.

Pan America 1250 Special — $19,999

With a price tag of $20k, the Pan America 1250 Special is the cheapest motorcycle in Harley-Davidson’s 2024 touring lineup. Nestled in its frame, we find a 1250 Revolution Max engine churning out 150 hp and 95 lb-ft of torque.

The Pan America is a full-blown adventure bike, not your typical American cruiser. However, H-D clearly did its homework, and the bike both looks and rides great. It comes with tons of stock equipment, but bags are an optional extra.

Heritage Classic 114 — $22,499

As its name suggests, the Heritage Classic draws inspiration from bikes of the past, with its rear end mimicking the old hardtail models from the 1940s. Of course, it’s not an actual hardtail, as it’s based on the Softail frame.

The Heritage Classic doesn’t have all the bodywork and electronics we’ve come to expect on a tourer, but with a large windshield, it still provides ample wind protection. Its Milwaukee-Eight 114 unit generates a respectable 94 hp and 119 lb-ft of torque, and with a 5-gallon tank, it’ll run for 235 miles in one go.

Low Rider ST — $23,399

Back in the early 1980s, H-D introduced the FXRT as a basic, sporty tourer with a frame-mounted fairing and hardshell saddlebags. The new Low Rider ST is its spiritual successor, but is now based on the new Softail platform rather than the long-defunct FXR chassis.

With its high-mounted saddlebags and aggressive fairing, the Low Rider ST looks like a touring bike for hooligans. Thanks to a Milwaukee-Eight 117 mill generating 103 hp and 125 lb-ft of torque, it also has a punch that backs up its mean looks.

Road King Special — $24,999

Another retro-styled tourer, the Road King Special is fat and low, making it very stable and confidence-inspiring when cruising on the open road.

Here, there’s no large front fairing to protect you from the elements, nor will you find many rider aids as stock — you only get ABS and linked brakes without paying extra. It does have a set of color-matched hard bags providing 2.5 cubic feet of dry storage, though.

Hydra-Glide Revival — $24,999

Back in the day, before the large front fairings became the norm, all American touring bikes looked like the Hydra-Glide Revival, as they were essentially just cruiser bikes with a windshield and some bags.

While it may not look like it, the Hydra-Glide is quite modern underneath, based on the latest Softail platform. We’re guessing it’s aimed at the old-school biker, as it doesn’t have any of the latest tech, rider aids, or infotainment, just a Milwaukee-Eight 114 engine and ABS.

Street Glide — $25,999

Now we’re getting to the bikes most people think of when H-D touring bikes are mentioned. The Street Glide has the large Batwing fairing with its tinted screen up front and hardbags at the rear.

It offers a clean, stylish, and aggressive design, but that means sacrificing the Tour-Pak, so it doesn’t have the same storage capacity as the other full-dressers. Still, it’s a very capable tourer, packing all the RDRS equipment. With a Milwaukee-Eight 117 engine producing 105 hp and 130 lb-ft of torque, it’ll cross a continent without ever feeling underpowered.

Road Glide — $25,999

The Road Glide is similar to the Street Glide in many ways, but it has the fixed Sharknose fairing, not the Batwing fairing found on the Street Glide.

In front of the rider, there’s a large TFT screen with all the instrumentation and ride-control electronics. Once again, the engine is the Milwaukee-Eight 117, identical to the one found in the Street Glide.

CVO Pan America — $28,399

Another Pan America? That’s right, H-D has given its adventure bike the full Custom Vehicle Operations treatment, which means they’ve thrown everything but the kitchen sink at it.

The CVO Pan America still uses the 150-hp Revolution Max 1250 V-Twin mill. Thanks to its distinctive paint scheme, it looks fast even when standing still. As far as stock equipment goes, it has aluminum cases totaling 4.24 cubic feet of storage, full RDRS functionality and infotainment equipment, semi-active, electronic fork-damping control, and Adaptive Ride Height features. Everything you need to go on an overland adventure.

Ultra Limited — $32,499

The H-D Ultra Limited, with its iconic Batwing fairing, is the standard-setting American touring motorcycle. It’s loaded with features, such as sat-nav support, infotainment, full touring luggage, and the list goes on.

Underneath the tank, there’s a twin-cooled Milwaukee-Eight 114 engine pumping out 93 hp and 122 lb-ft of torque. If you’re in the market for a touring machine that offers enough power and luggage space for two-up riding, the Ultra Limited is certainly one to consider.

Road Glide Limited — $32,499

H-D’s Road Glide Limited is basically the fixed-fairing version of the company’s touring bikes. Unlike the Ultra Limited’s fork-mounted Batwing fairing, the Road Glide Limited’s fairing is bolted directly to the frame.

Spec-wise, the Road Glide Limited is very similar to the Ultra Limited, but there’s a notable difference when it comes to riding it. Due to the Road Glide’s fixed fairing, there will be less weight on the bars, and it’ll handle better in strong wind. It still uses the 114 engine, has 4.7 cubic feet of dry storage with the Tour Pak, and the 6-gallon tank offers a 258-mile range.
