LOOKING GOOD - First 2025 Harley-Davidson model is revealed as company brings back vintage paint job that first appeared in 1980s
But it'll mean forking out a steep premium price. Harley Davidson has unveiled their first new model for 2025, and fans of the iconic bike-maker will be thrilled with its retro design. The new Street Glide is set to be released this year and will be available with a classic finish that hasn’t been offered for many years.

The new model can be purchased with a Firestorm Paint finish, which was the brand’s factory paint for the 1980 Wide Glide and was later reprised on the 2012 model. Now, some 13 years on, it’s making a comeback on the upcoming Street Glide. Available in either Whiskey Firestorm or Midnight Firestorm, each option will command a premium price due to its exclusivity. According to Ultimate Motorcycling, riders will have to pay $2,900, with an additional $1,350 for the Black Trim option - as the Firestorm paint is not available with the standard Chrome Trim.
Also available on the 2025 Street Glide is a new Mystic Shift treatment.
Speaking to Ultimate Motorcycling, a source at Harley-Davidson said: “Mystic Shift offers a dramatic hue shift which transitions from a dark gunmetal to purple to blue to almost orange and is especially apparent in full sunlight when walking around the motorcycle.” Mystic Shift is a $2,200 option and is available with both the Chrome and Black Trims. In total, the 2025 Street Glide will offer nine colour options with the Black Trim and six with the Chrome Trim.
Functionally, the bike remains unchanged, with the 2024 Street Glide being the most significant upgrade to the model since its introduction in 2006.
