Harley-Davidson unveils new limited-production of its Fat Boy Gray Ghost model

Nylon19-05-2025

In its fifth instalment of the Icons Motorcycle Collection, Harley-Davidson has introduced a new, limited production of the Fat Boy Gray Ghost Icons model to celebrate the 35th anniversary since its introduction of the Fat Boy.

A cultural icon and one of the most recognisable bike designs — the Fat Boy Gray Ghost model is a superstar of motorcycle design now with a gleaming new Reflection finish that gives the entire motorcycle a look like its dipped in chrome.
The Reflection finish is created using the physical vapor deposition (PVD) process, also known as a thin film coating, where a solid material is vaporised in a vacuum and deposited onto the surface of a part, which in this case is the fuel tank and motorcycle fenders.
This is done by applying a positive charge to the solid material (an aluminium alloy) and a negative charge to the motorcycle part. After which, the part is painted with a standard clear coat finish.

You will also find styling cues inspired by the original Fat Boy model such as a round air cleaner, yellow accents on the lower rocker covers, powertrain covers, and a tank console insert. Other details include a leather seat valance with lacing and tassels, and a black leather tank strap with laced edging.
Three-dimensional fuel tank medallions replicate the iconic winged graphic from the original Fat Boy with a commemorative tank console insert etched with the bike's unique serialisation number and an Icons Collection medallion positioned on the rear fender.
Lakester cast aluminium wheels, exclusive to the Fat Boy model, are also included in the reimagined bike, alongside high-performance Michelin Scorcher 11 tires to enhance the ride.
In addition to the exterior design, the new Fat Boy Gray Ghost model includes elevated performance and technical features:
Milwaukee-Eight 117 Custom powertrain tuned to deliver 101 horsepower and 122 lb. ft. peak torque
New Suspension that is recalibrated to optimise rider comfort
Selectable Ride Modes such as Road, Rain, and Sport, which allows you to control the performance characteristic of the motorcycle
Rider Safety Enhancements by Harley-Davidson
All-LED Lighting including headlamp, tail and brake lights, and signals
USB-C Power Port
Heated Gear Connectors
5-inch Console Mounted instrument that places an analog speedometer above a multi-function LCD digital display
.

As the Icons Motorcycle Collection features a limited release of a new, fresh interpretation of an iconic motorcycle Harley-Davidson model, the bikes are serialised and may include additional features above the base motorcycle.
The production of the Fat Boy Gray Ghost model is no different with a limited-production of 1,990 total motorcycles globally (a number that pays homage to the original 1990 Fat Boy).
Product availability varies from market to market. For more information, you can enquire with local Harley-Davidson dealers.

BBC documentary to tell story of Kim Kardashian robbery in Paris

A trial found eight people guilty of robbing the US star of millions of pounds worth of jewellery at gunpoint during the 2016 Paris Fashion Week. With interviews from friends, family, police officers and journalists who followed the case, The Kim Kardashian Diamond Heist will share new information about what happened leading up to the trial where she faced the robbers in court. Nasfim Haque, head of content at BBC Three, said: 'This documentary offers an insight into one of the most-publicised celebrity crimes of our time, committed on one of the most famous women on the planet, which will delve into the facts behind the gossip and explore the price of fame in the digital age.' Produced by Firecracker Films, the 45-minute documentary will also share the impact the robbery has had on the star. Sam Emmery, creative director at Firecracker, said: 'This is one of the most high-profile robberies of the digital age, with social media said to have played a part in the heist. 'The film is an opportunity to show how the perpetrators were eventually brought to justice and the lasting impact the ordeal had on its victim, Kim Kardashian.' The media personality is best known for starring in the reality TV series Keeping Up With The Kardashians, which followed the lives of the Kardashian family. She is also known for being the co-founder of the shapewear clothing and underwear brand Skims, which is set to open its first UK store in London's Regent Street after signing a deal with the Crown Estate. Since launching in 2019, the brand has partnered with an array of celebrities including Charli XCX, Sabrina Carpenter, Usher and Jude Bellingham for advertising campaigns. The Kim Kardashian Diamond Heist will air on BBC Three and BBC One later this month and will also be available on BBC iPlayer.

Sam Thompson embraces sister as he ends 260-mile run and cycle for Soccer Aid

The former Made In Chelsea star, 32, embraced his sister, Louise Thompson, as well as her partner Ryan Libbey, and nephew Leo as he hopped over the finish line in Manchester on Friday morning. TV presenter Will Best spoke to Thompson live on ITV's This Morning and revealed that his Match Ball Mission has so far raised £1,516,433.22 for humanitarian aid organisation Unicef. A post shared by Sam Thompson (@samthompsonuk) Thompson said: 'I'm so grateful for everyone being here, I didn't think anyone was going to turn up. 'Thank you so much to everyone being here, everyone who has donated as well, I'll say it a million times, I'm made of glass, it's all the heroes who donate and stuff, you are so heroic.' The I'm a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! winner faced a calf injury during the challenge and could be seen limping as he crossed the finish line. The TV star had travelled from Chelsea's Stamford Bridge stadium in London, the location of last year's Soccer Aid match in aid of Unicef, to Manchester United's Old Trafford home, which is hosting the 2025 game that Thompson is due to play in. Here he is! 5 days and over 260 miles on foot and bike! Over 1 million raised and so close to that finish line at Old Trafford ⚽️ Go on Sam!@itv @socceraid @samthompsonuk #MatchBallMission #Corrie — Coronation Street (@itvcorrie) June 6, 2025 Thompson's challenge saw him make pit stops at several football stadiums including MK Dons' Stadium MK, Aston Villa's Villa Park, and Everton's Goodison Park. His final day saw him travel through Huyton, Warrington, Sale, Stretford and the Coronation Street cobbles with friends, family and fans cheering him across the finish line. His experience is documented in a one-off programme titled Sam Thompson's Match Ball Mission that will air on Friday June 13 at 9pm on ITV1, ITVX, STV and STV Player. The money raised from the challenge will support Unicef's work, including providing clean water and nutrition, for children around the world.

Carlos Alcaraz feels he pushed Lorenzo Musetti to the limit in French Open semi

The defending champion secured his place in Sunday's Roland Garros showpiece after Italian eighth seed Musetti, who had won the first set, retired in the fourth while trailing 4-6 7-6 (3) 6-0 2-0. 'It's not the way that I want to win, to make the final,' said Alcaraz. 'I just wished him a speedy recovery. I hope to see him soon, on court again, enjoying his tennis again. 'In the first set I had a few break points that I couldn't make. I tried to stay there. I knew that I had chances. I was playing great. 🧡 — Roland-Garros (@rolandgarros) June 6, 2025 'It was just about a few mistakes or few things that made the difference in the first set. 'Then in the second set, it was pretty close as well. I ended up playing a great tie-break. I think his level went down a little bit, and I made the most of it. 'At the beginning of the third set, I knew what I had to do. I'm pushing him to the limit, try to make him run from side to side. 'In the end, you know, he had to retire, but I think it was a really important moment the beginning of the third set.' The 22-year-old Spaniard now has the chance to become the first man to retain the title since his idol, Rafael Nadal, managed it in 2020. Final bound 🔒 Carlos Alcaraz advances after Musetti is forced to retire due to injury 4-6 7-6(3) 6-0 2-0.@rolandgarros | #RolandGarros — ATP Tour (@atptour) June 6, 2025 Musetti played some exquisite tennis in the first two sets under the roof on Court Philippe-Chatrier. But the 23-year-old had treatment on his leg during a one-sided third set and called it a day after Alcaraz won nine games in a row. There were echoes of a match here four years ago when Musetti retired against Novak Djokovic at 4-0 down in the fifth, later saying he was not injured but that he quit because he was 'not able to win a point'. This time he revealed he had a problem with his thigh. 'I felt it at the beginning of the third when I was serving, I started losing a little bit of strength on the left leg, behind,' he said. Get well soon, Lore 🧡#RolandGarros — Roland-Garros (@rolandgarros) June 6, 2025 'Definitely it was going worse and worse, so I decided to stop. I think it was the right decision to make, even if it was not what I wanted.' Musetti is scheduled to play at Queen's Club in just over a week in the build-up to Wimbledon. But he added: 'It's too early to say. Of course in the programme it's next tournament Queen's, and then of course Wimbledon. 'But of course we are going to evaluate tomorrow what the examinations will say, and take a decision for what's next.'
