Harley-Davidson unveils 2026 sport motorcycle range

The latest range includes the Nightster, Nightster Special and the flagship Sportster S, all powered by Harley-Davidson's liquid-cooled Revolution Max engine platform. The company says the bikes have been developed to deliver strong performance while maintaining the unmistakable Harley-Davidson character.

The entry-level Nightster starts from £9,995 in the UK, while the Nightster Special is priced from £11,495. Topping the range is the Sportster S, available from £13,995.

Harley-Davidson says the new Sport lineup builds on the heritage of the famous Sportster family, which has been part of the company's history for almost 70 years. The modern models replace the traditional air-cooled Sportsters with a new generation of high-performance machines aimed at both existing riders and newcomers to the brand.

The Sportster S remains the performance-focused model in the range, producing 121 horsepower from its Revolution Max 1250T engine. The bike features a high-mounted exhaust system, wide front tyre, advanced rider safety systems and a 102mm TFT infotainment display.

Across the range, riders benefit from selectable ride modes, modern electronic rider aids and updated instrumentation designed to enhance both safety and riding enjoyment. Harley-Davidson says the motorcycles are intended to appeal to riders seeking a combination of classic styling and contemporary performance.

In addition to launching the new models, Harley-Davidson continues to promote rider training programmes, organised events and its Harley Owners Group (HOG), encouraging both experienced riders and those new to motorcycling to get involved in the riding community.
