The New Limited Edition Harley-Davidson Fat Boy Gray Ghost
The fifth and latest addition to the Icons motorcycle collection, the new limited edition Harley-Davidson Fat Boy Gray Ghost has been unveiled with 1,990 numbered editions to be produced. Prices start at £25,195.
Each year since 2021, the American motorcycle manufacturer has produced a modern interpretation of a previous classic in small numbers for enthusiasts, collectors and those who just fancy standing out. And it’s now the turn of the Fat Boy, which originally debuted in 1990 and most famously appeared in the film Terminator 2: Judgment Day as Arnold Scharzenegger rode it during an iconic chase scene.
You also get some chromed side covers, a silver powder-coated frame, styling details included a leather seat valance and tank strap, and nods to the original Fat Boy with the road air cleaner, yellow accents and three-dimensional fuel tank medallions.
A total of 1,990 models will be produced, and you get a tank console insert etched with the serial number, along with an Icons Collection medallion on the rear fender.
As with the standard 2025 Fat Boy, the engine is the new Milwaukee-Eight 117 Custom, which delivers 101 hp and 171Nm peak torque, with is 7% more power and a 3% increase in torque from the 2024 model, and features 2-into-2 exhausts with individual catalysts to emphasis the sound of the bike. Also new for 2025 are the suspension with dual-bending valve 49mm forks at the front and under-seat hydraulic pre-load adjustment for the rear, selected ride modes (Road, Rain and Sport), and electronic aids including ABS, TCS, Drag Torque Slip Control (DSCS), and Tyre Pressure Monitoring.
Other modern features for the Fat Boy after 35 years of production are the new LED lighting, a USB-C power port, heated gear connectors which are now at the top of the rear fender below the seat, and a 5-inch console with a multi-function LCD display below the analog speedometer. It rides on the model-exclusive Lakester cast aluminium wheels shod in Michelin Scorcher 11 tyres.
It’s not the first limited edition version of the Fat Boy, with the CVO model produced in 2005, and the 30th Anniversary model in 2020. Inspired by a custom model built at a dealership in Montreal, the bike was designed by a team led by Willie G. Davidson, and the idea behind the name was covered in his book 100 Years of Harley-Davidson.
“You’re probably wondering how we came up with a name like Fat Boy, and I’ve heard a lot of tales about this, nearly all of which are untrue,” wrote Davidson. “Here’s the real story: it’s tough to come up with names that will be popular on the street. We were looking for something unusual and maybe even a little irreverent, because there’s something sort of cool about poking fun at your products from time to time. To me, and to a lot of other insiders who’d seen it, the bike had a massive ‘fat’ look. So the folks in marketing came up with the name Fat Boy.”

The New Voge DS625X Dual Sports Bike Arrives In UK Dealers
If you’re looking for an affordable middleweight dual sports motorcycle, the new Voge DS625X has arrived in UK dealers at a price of £5,999 on the road.
The Voge brand is part of Loncin, a Chinese company which produces more than 2.5 million bikes each year, making parts and complete motorcycles for brands including Honda, MV Agusta and BMW Motorrad. They’ve been around for a few years with their own range from 125cc bikes and scooters up to the new Voge DS625X, which features the third incarnation of their Euro5 parallel twin engine, and switches from a 180 to a 270 degree firing order for better acceleration.
Compared to the slightly smaller Voge DS525X which launched in 2023, the double cradle steel chassis has wide footrests which are now 55mm further forwards for better riding comfort. And new fully-adustable KYB suspension increased the suspension travel, offers better damping and increases the ground clearance up to 220m. The rear shock also gets an external reservoir and more oil capacity to cope with hotter weather and more challenging terrain.
The new Voge DS625X comes with rider aids including ECO and Sport modes, ABS, a built-in 1080p forward facing camera, a tyre pressure monitoring system for the supplied Metzeler Tourance tyres, a colour 7″ TFT dash,and both a 12v socket and USB charger. But it also comes with engine bars, hand protectors, a sump guard,and a radiator guard as standard, with an official three-part hard luggage system of side cases and a top box costing an extra £699.
Performance is claimed to be 63hp (at 9,000rpm) and 57 Nm of torque (at 6,500rpm), with a wet weight of 206kgs, and a 835mm seat height. The fuel tank has a 17.6 litre capacity, and colour choices are Desert Yellow or Black Night.
At £5999 with a two year warranty, it’s cheaper than the previous 650DSX, and competively priced between the smaller A2 licence DS525X (£5499), and other models built in China including the Benelli TRK 502 or the CFMoto 700MT. Your best bet is to visit one of the many UK dealers and try it out for yourself.
