2016 Harley-Davidson Roadster

The Roadster is offered in four color schemes, including a maroon red.

The Harley-Davidson Roadster starts at $11,199.

The speedometer gauge cluster is analog and digital. It has a digital odometer, clock, tripmeter and gear indicator, and an analog tachometer.

LED turn indicators are for the European market, not the American market.

The controls are fairly intuitive.

The left and right turn indicator switches are separated, with one on each side.

Harley-Davidson said it was going for a minimalist look with the new Roadster.

The ribbed, perforated leather seat was comfortable, even over hundreds of miles.

Short, dual exhausts have laser-cut black heat shields.

Front brakes are dual disc. ABS is an option.

Harley-Davidson wanted to introduce the Roadster in France to show off the motorcycle's agility.

The Roadster's stance is unique from other Sportsters.

Harley outfitted the Roadster with 43mm inverted front forks to improve suspension response.
