Harley-Davidson has just peeked their 2022 lineup (or some of it) ahead of schedule, though we’re told that the “Further. Faster.” World Premiere Event will still happen on January 26 at 11:00 a.m. EST (10:00 a.m. CST).
We’re told by the press release that the peek doesn’t include the limited edition models, nor the new beastie that they’ve been hinting at since late December – those they will save for the Jan 26 date.
