Harley-Davidson motorcycles typically have five or six gears.

While most Harley models come standard with a five-speed transmission, certain models, like the touring bikes, often feature a six-speed transmission.

Here’s a breakdown:

  • Six-speed transmissions are found on touring models like the Road King and Electra Glide, as well as some performance models like the V-Rod.

The number of gears varies depending on the model and year of the motorcycle. For the most accurate information, refer to the owner's manual or the Harley-Davidson website.
