Looking at the spec sheet, the Thunderstroke 116 itself is the existing platform, but stacking on three ride modes and a 4-inch RIDE COMMAND display shows how even a heavyweight cruiser is getting proper electronics now compared to older models — that gets my pulse up. Numbering all 125 units individually is exactly the kind of detail that gets me.

Knowing the story goes back to 1938 makes it feel heavier.

Thunderstroke 116 is the existing engine, so it's not exactly fresh.

What does RIDE COMMAND actually do?

Harley still does this heritage thing better, honestly.

Only 125 units — gotta be pricey, and they don't even list a price.

That red-and-cream paint alone makes me want one.
