Today, Harley-Davidson announced its first batch of 2022 motorcycles, with models already arriving at dealerships across the U.S. These models return mostly unchanged from 2021, save for updated colors and, for some, new wheel designs. If you’re looking for any new models, CVO models, or motorcycles getting more significant changes, you’ll have to wait until Jan. 26, for Harley-Davidson’s “Further, Faster” world premiere event.

Before we get to that, let’s look at which models have returned, and which have not. These are the models coming back for 2022: Pan America 1250, Pan America 1250 Special, Sportster S, Iron 883, Forty-Eight, Softail Standard, Heritage Classic 114, Street Bob 114, Fat Bob 114, Fat Boy 114, Electra Glide Standard, Road King, Road King Special, Road Glide, Road Glide Special, Street Glide, Street Glide Special, Ultra Limited, Road Glide Limited, Tri Glide Ultra, and Freewheeler.

The Pan Americas and Sportster S are no surprise, as the Revolution Max models only launched last year. The Iron 883 and Forty-Eight, the models previously known as Sportsters, are a different matter. They live on for at least one more year in the U.S., though they will not be available in markets where they do not meet local emissions standards. While those two former Sportsters are back, the Iron 1200 is no more.

Also gone from the 2022 range are the Softail Slim and Sport Glide, as well as the 107ci version of the Heritage Classic. The Electra Glide Revival is also no more, but that’s no surprise. The Revival was a numbered edition Icon model that was only intended to be offered for one year. A new Icon model is expected for 2022, likely as part of the Jan. 26 announcement.

Conspicuously absent in Harley-Davidson’s announcement is the Low Rider S. The FXLRS was not included in today’s announcement, but we do not think it has been discontinued. For one, Harley-Davidson’s teasers for the Jan. 26 event show a fuel tank graphic that looks nearly identical to that of the 2021 Low Rider S.

We expect the world premiere event will feature an updated Low Rider S, and with the “Further, Faster” tagline, we suspect it will come with a touring variant. A rumor floating around the internet suggests the touring Low Rider S may be getting a retro-styled fairing similar to the original 1983 Sport Glide. If the rumor holds true, it may explain why the modern Sport Glide has been dropped, with a new Low Rider S Touring taking its place. A retro fairing might also mean the Low Rider S Touring is this year’s Icon model.

We’ll find out for certain in a couple of weeks. For now, here’s what Harley-Davidson has to say about its returning 2022 models:

To allow any rider to make a personal statement, Harley-Davidson offers a wide variety of motorcycle styles within the Cruiser segment, from nostalgic to very modern. A cruiser rider seeks to disconnect from an increasingly hectic life, and only the world’s most desirable motorcycle company can offer these riders so many ways to reach that goal. For 2022 new paint colors are offered across the Cruiser model line-up.

Harley-Davidson designs its Grand American Touring models for riders forever seeking that next adventure. Grand American Touring models take riders beyond the horizon with the comfort and convenience that makes the journey spectacular, from the company that started the cross-country experience.
