Harley-Davidson’s back at it with a head-turner—the Fat Boy Gray Ghost, a special-edition beast from the brand’s Icon Collection. Built to mark 35 years of the original Fat Boy, only 1,990 of these machines will roll out. This isn’t just a tribute—it’s a high-powered statement dressed in modern armor.

Design
From the first glance, the Gray Ghost strikes like a heavyweight in a tailored suit. Its wide frame, chunky rear tyre, and slammed profile scream presence. It doesn’t just ride—it dominates.
What really steals the show? That Reflection finish. Harley used a luxe process called Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) to get a chrome-like gleam that mirrors everything it passes. This isn’t your average coat of paint—it’s more like silver flowing over steel, sleek and spectral, earning its name.
Features
It’s not just about shine. Harley’s packed the Gray Ghost with details that turn it into something special:
- A premium leather saddle with laced accents and old-school tassels
- Bold 3D tank medallion, adding a vintage vibe
- Individually numbered badges, underlining its rarity
Together, these touches give it the aura of a garage-built custom—except you can actually ride it every day.
Engine
Don’t be fooled by the polish—underneath is raw power. It’s driven by the Milwaukee-Eight 117 V-twin, a torque-loaded motor built for thrills. Quick specs:
- Engine: Milwaukee-Eight 117
- Power: ~101 bhp
- Torque: 165 Nm
- Ride Modes: Rain, Road, Sport
Switch between modes depending on the mood or road—Rain for grip, Road for ease, Sport for full-throttle fun.
Legacy
Why 1,990 units? That’s a nod to 1990, the year the first Fat Boy was born. The Gray Ghost marks 35 years of legacy, with each bike hand-detailed like it matters—because it does.
This isn’t just a motorcycle—it’s a legend in motion. For collectors or die-hard Harley fans, this one’s pure gold. Bold, rare, powerful—and impossible to ignore.
