Harley-Davidson dealerships across India are offering substantial discounts on two of their most popular cruiser motorcycles; the 2024 Fat Boy and the now-discontinued Fat Bob. The move comes as dealers clear out leftover stock ahead of the 2025 model year updates, with savings ranging between Rs 2 lakh and Rs 3 lakh depending on location and dealer inventory.

End-of-Line Clearance Sale

The price cuts are among the most significant ever seen on Harley-Davidson motorcycles in India. The 2024 Fat Boy, originally priced at Rs 25.69 lakh (ex-showroom), now sees on-road prices drop considerably at select dealerships. The Fat Bob, previously listed at Rs 21.49 lakh, is also being cleared out, but with a notable difference; Harley-Davidson has discontinued the model entirely for India.

This means that buyers interested in the Fat Bob will be looking at the final few units available. It is being replaced by the Street Bob in the updated 2025 lineup, which comes equipped with a larger engine and a refreshed design.

For those drawn to the classic lines and stance of the Fat Boy or the aggressive styling of the Fat Bob, this could be the last chance to pick up either model in their 2024 form.

Bigger Engines, Higher Prices in 2025

One of the main reasons for the heavy discounts is the shift in engine offerings for 2025. The outgoing 2024 Fat Boy comes with Harley’s Milwaukee-Eight 114CI (1868 cc) engine. In contrast, the 2025 Fat Boy and Street Bob will feature the more powerful Milwaukee-Eight 117CI engine, which boasts a displacement of 1,923 cc.

This upgrade is expected to result in better torque and performance on highways, especially for long-distance cruising. However, for many Harley enthusiasts, the difference in engine capacity may not be enough to justify the additional cost of the 2025 versions — especially with discounts as steep as Rs 3 lakh on offer for the 2024 models.

Harley-Davidson’s broader strategy appears to be one of rationalising its powertrain lineup. The same 117CI engine now powers multiple models in the 2025 range, likely to streamline production and reduce costs while offering better performance to buyers.

Limited Stocks, City-Wise Pricing

As is often the case with old stock clearances, availability is highly dependent on local dealership stock. The company has made it clear that these discounts will last only until stocks are depleted. Buyers in major metro cities such as Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru may have better chances of finding their preferred colour and variant, but quick decision-making is essential.

State-level taxes and registration charges also play a role in determining the final on-road price. In states with lower levies, such as Delhi NCR or Maharashtra, the effective discount can feel even larger. Buyers are also advised to account for insurance premiums, registration charges, and optional accessories when evaluating the final price.

Value Proposition Still Strong for 2024 Buyers

While the 2025 models bring more power and a slightly updated package, the 2024 variants still retain Harley’s iconic design language and cruiser appeal. They also offer advantages in terms of insurance premiums and financing. A lower purchase price translates to reduced EMI outgoings and more affordable comprehensive insurance plans.

Additionally, all manufacturer warranties are expected to remain applicable on these discounted units, provided the motorcycles are sold through authorised channels. This makes them a relatively safe buy for those looking for a premium cruiser at a better price.

From a resale perspective, the Fat Bob could become something of a rarity in the Indian market, which may help it retain value over time. On the flip side, the 114CI Fat Boy could face steeper depreciation as customers begin to favour the more powerful 117CI engine-equipped version in the used market.

Final Opportunity for Classic Harley Cruiser Lovers

For Harley-Davidson fans, these discounts present a rare opportunity to own a premium cruiser at a significantly reduced price. With the brand moving toward a new powertrain strategy, the 2024 models represent the end of a chapter in Harley’s India story.
