Ride Like the Slayer with World First DOOM: The Dark Ages Custom Harley-Davidson Motorcycle
Bethesda today revealed its one-of-a-kind custom Harley-Davidson Sportster S motorcycle inspired by the fast-paced, medieval aesthetic of upcoming video game, DOOM: The Dark Ages. Visually designed by the incredible artists at id Software and created with the support of Harley-Davidson, the build merges the legendary power and craftsmanship of the historic motorcycle brand with the raw, demon-slaying energy of DOOM, to deliver the ultimate fusion of power and style.
Australian fans can witness this engineering and design marvel during an exclusive launch event at Culture Kings on George Street, Sydney. The motorcycle will be given away to one lucky person, allowing them to ride like the Slayer.
Forged in fire and built for ripping and tearing to Hell and back, the first-of-its-kind Sportster S motorcycle features a custom-built dash around the fearsome head of the Slayer’s new DOOM: The Dark Ages new mechanised dragon, Serrat, with its mouth agape to house the front headlight. Ethereal neon emanates from the heart of the vehicle through considered lighting, while custom LEDs project the dragon’s glowing wings onto the ground. The entire build includes menacing demon rune decals as well as meticulously recreated Slayer armour details, all featured in the upcoming game. The experience of riding this dragon wouldn’t be complete without matching helmet and leather jacket, equally inspired by the medieval hellish aesthetic of the latest entrance to the DOOM franchise.”
Nigel Keough, Managing Director of Harley-Davidson ANZ, said “It is fantastic to see the transformation, of what is already an iconic motorcycle, into something out of this world. The team at Bethesda have done an amazing job in the creation of a custom design Harley-Davidson Sportster S, inspired by the DOOM Slayer’s dragon. We’re thrilled to be able to provide the opportunity for a lucky fan to ride this piece of gaming history on two wheels.
“Creating this DOOM: The Dark Ages motorcycle with the support of Harley-Davidson is truly a match made in Hell,” said Simon Alty, VP and Managing Director (APAC) at Bethesda Softworks. “The iconic motorcycle brand is renowned for its power and style, much like our legendary DOOM Slayer. What better way to celebrate the launch of the latest DOOM instalment than with an incredibly powerful mecha-dragon motorcycle. We’re thrilled for all the fans to witness this mythical beast brought to life”.
To celebrate the launch of DOOM: The Dark Ages and the exclusive DOOM clothing range, available at Culture Kings, Bethesda is hosting an in-store unveiling of the motorcycle at the George Street Sydney location on Friday 16th May 2025 from 7pm-9pm AEST. Attendees will step into Hell and bask in the majesty of the Harley-Davidson build in person, while enjoying a range of themed activities including photo moments, metal music, art, and more. DOOM fans, both new and old, won’t want to miss this chance to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of the Slayer’s world.
Local fans will have the opportunity to win the custom Sportster S motorcycle, bespoke leather jackets, helmets, and limited-edition tees alongside DOOM: The Dark Ages Collector’s Editions.
