Harley-Davidson DX
Short Overview
Not every arcade game was about racing — Harley-Davidson DX is about the feeling of riding. In Sega's 1997 classic, you climb onto an officially licensed Harley-Davidson and cruise the streets of Los Angeles. Thanks to the moving deluxe cabinet, every turn and burst of acceleration feels that much more real.

Objective
The goal is to reach each checkpoint in time while freely choosing your own route through the city. Traffic, tight streets, and high speed make every run a thrill.
More Than a Race
One of the things that makes Harley-Davidson DX special is that it doesn't take place on a closed race track. You ride through Los Angeles' iconic locations, discover detours, collect bonuses, and it's worth gunning the throttle just for the joy of exploring the city.
Fun Facts
- Made under an official Harley-Davidson license.
- Open city course system set on the streets of Los Angeles.
- Up to four cabinets can be linked for a shared race.
- You can switch music and camera angle on the fly while riding.
Why Did It Become Legendary?
The DX cabinet was one of Sega's most spectacular motorcycle machines. The bike itself leans, and the bass hits you through a subwoofer built right into it, making every burst of speed and every corner feel far more intense than on a standard arcade cabinet.
Who Is It For?
If you've ever wanted to cruise the streets of Los Angeles in the saddle of a Harley, this machine is simply a must-try. It's great fun solo, but racing side by side with someone else is where the real arcade experience kicks in.
