The 1992 Harley-Davidson FXDB Daytona drew its name from Daytona Beach, Florida, which (along with Sturgis, South Dakota) hosts a major motorcycle event each year.
 The 1992 Harley-Davidson FXDB Daytona was named in honor of the bike rally in Daytona Beach. See more motorcycle pictures. |
In 1991, Harley-Davidson celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Sturgis rally with a specially trimmed FXDB Sturgis model. The following year, a similar tribute was paid to the 50th anniversary of the Daytona meet with the FXDB Daytona.
 The Harley-Davidson FXDB Daytona introduced a pearl color scheme to Harley bikes. |
While the Sturgis wore somber black highlighted with touches of orange, the Daytona was dressed in brighter shades with a more traditional level of chrome trim and boasted Harley's first true pearl paint job. On the tank was a special decal announcing the 50th anniversary as taking place in March of 1991.
Triple disc brakes were bolted to color-matched cast wheels, and highway pegs were mounted to the lower frame.
Production was limited. Only 1,700 Daytonas were built, which was not nearly enough to go around.
 Triple-disc brakes provided the Daytona with massive stopping power. |
