Harley Days

Hamburg Harley Days and St. Pauli

We're a few days behind in posting, but it's been a pretty crazy 14 days so we beg forgiveness... Our buddy Lutz picked us up in Amsterdam and drove us to Hamburg where Harley Days was in full swing. Once a year 100,000 bikers take over the red-light district of St. Pauli, Hamburg. It's quite a show and to top it off, Germany played their Euro Cup match and won. For us Yanks a soccer match might not mean so much, but for the rest of the world "football" (soccer) is an obsession. It was pretty amazing to sit there watching Germany win their match and see the whole city explode into honking horns and drunkeness in the streets. Oh yeah there were some cool bikes there too. ;)

Kutty joined us at the Custombike Magazine booth and did a great job on his interview with ARD television. Our ruler buddy Jesper from Helmet Hair rode all the way from Copenhagen to hang out and get some beers and Lutz's pal Johnny even won best bike in the competition. All in all a pretty darned good time was had by all.

Final Buell motorcycle assembled in Wisconsin

As far as motorcycle manufacturers go, Buell lived a relatively short life. Founded by a former Harley-Davidson engineer in 1993, the sportbike company was acquired by HDMC in 2003. But hard times falling on businesses large and small forced Harley to announce Buell’s closure. And now the last Buell has been pushed off the assembly line and into the great wild yonder.

After 136,923 motorcycles built over the course of 26 years of production, the final model produced was the black Lightning XB12Scg pictured above. On December 18, the plant in Troy, Wisconsin, will officially close down, while the existing network of dealers continue to sell off the remaining stock.

Farewell, Buell. We hardly knew ye.

Harley-Davidson 2010 motorcycle product line-up

Proclaimed as the only major American motorcycle maker, Harley-Davidson has just unveiled their 2010 product line-up, with nine new motorcycle models in what they refer to as “the most expansive new-product introduction in the history of the company,” spread across six model platforms.

Highlights of the 2010 Harley-Davidson line include:

• As the new king of the Harley-Davidson Touring line, the Electra Glide Ultra Limited model delivers the performance upgrade of a Twin Cam 103 engine, and features standard equipment items previously offered only as accessories on regular-production Harley-Davidson Touring models.
• The new Road Glide Custom model looks lean and mean, with a slammed suspension, 18-inch front wheel and a new 2-into-1 exhaust system.
• The Wide Glide returns as an all-new Dyna model done in old-school chopper style, with black laced wheels, a chopped rear fender, black “wire” sissy bar, 2-1-2 Tommy Gun exhaust and an optional flame paint scheme. Priced starting at US$ 14,499, the Wide Glide is also a great new value.
• The new Street Glide Trike brings stripped-down, hot-rod styling to the three-wheel category, and joins the Tri Glide Ultra Classic(R) in an all new Trike family for 2010.
• Dressed in satin chrome and denim black, the new Fat Boy(R) Lo presents a darker and lower interpretation of the motorcycle that still defines the fat-custom segment.
• The 2010 Street Glide model gets even more hot-rod soul, with updates that include a larger front wheel, slimmed-down exhaust, and a new tail light assembly. Street Glide takes a classic Harley-Davidson Touring profile to a low, light and lean extreme.
• No motorcycle on the road today matches the modern street attitude of the three exciting models in the Harley-Davidson VRSCfamily: V-Rod, Night Rod Special and V-Rod Muscle. The explosive performance of the liquid cooled Revolution V-Twin engine keeps VRSC at the top of the power cruiser food chain in 2010.
• The American motorcycle legend that is Harley-Davidson Sportster features six models for 2010, including the US$ 7,999 Iron 883 introduced mid-year 2009 and four others priced less than US$ 10,000.
• Harley-Davidson Custom Vehicle Operations (CVO), masters of shimmering chrome and bold paint, offers four new limited-production models for 2010. The CVO Softail Convertible is a versatile urban touring motorcycle, while the CVO Street Glide is a high-performance hot-rod bagger. The CVO Ultra Classic Electra Glide and CVO Fat Bob models are refreshed for 2010 with new paint schemes and styling details. All CVO models are powered by a Twin Cam 110 engine, the largest displacement V-Twin offered by Harley-Davidson.

Harley-Davidson Motor Company’s traditional heavyweight motorcycles and general merchandise have a growing fan following in the UAE, with clubs springing up in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

2009 Harley Davidson VRSCF V-Rod Muscle

Davidson VRSCF V-Rod Muscle is a power cruiser with an overenthusiastic quality. Its engine is rubber-mounted in a hydro-formed steel edge frame. There is a shell that covers airbox located on the top of the engine. The engine has the super-power to produce around 125 hp at 8250 rpm and up to 85 ft-lbs. of touque at 7000 rpm. You will get an Anti-Lock Braking System i.e. ABS installed in your Harley Davidson VRSCF V-Rod Muscle. It is available in Vivid Black, Brilliant Silver, Dark Blue Denim and Red Hot Sunglo. The bodywork of this motorbike surely stands apart from all the rest. Another amazing work of Harley Davidson.

Press Release :
With sculpted bodywork stretched taut over a powerful new physique, the 2009 VRSCF V-Rod Muscle rides its way onto the Power Cruiser scene with a broad-shouldered presence. Gaping air scoops, sweeping side-pipe exhaust and a huge rear tire spinning under a clean, clipped fender speak to a contemporary, urban sense of style and performance. The Muscle pushes the Harley-Davidson V-Rod platform into a new turf, where it aims to hold its ground.VRSC Key Features

1250cc Revolution V-Twin: Standard on all 2009 VRSC models, the 60-degree Revolution 1250cc V-Twin is liquid-cooled and features Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI), dual overhead cams, four-valve heads, and a five-speed transmission. The engine is rubber-mounted in a hydroformed steel perimeter frame. A shell covers the large-volume airbox located over the engine. A five-gallon fuel tank is located below the seat on all VRSC models. The engine is tuned to produce up to 125 hp at 8250 rpm and up to 85 ft-lbs. of torque at 7000 rpm.

Optional ABS: Each VRSC model is available with optional, factory-installed Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS). Designed to work in conjunction with high-performance Brembo triple-disc brakes, this is the most advanced braking system offered on any power cruiser. ABS is designed to help the rider maintain control during braking events, especially those that happen in less-than-optimal conditions. The components of the Harley-Davidson ABS have been designed and packaged to be virtually invisible, preserving the uncluttered styling of the area around the wheels. Unlike many motorcycle ABS, Harley-Davidson ABS is not a linked system, meaning the rider maintains full, independent control of both front and rear brakes.

New V-Rod Muscle
The wide, angular air-box cover and chopped tail section look as solid and smooth as billet and give the new V-Rod Muscle lines that are clean and powerful. The size of the massive 240 mm rear tire is accentuated by the new broad, clipped and clean rear fender. The combination stop/tail/turn LED light is tucked under the edge of the rear fender, and the side-mount license plate leaves the fender surface smooth and uncluttered. Front-end styling balances the rear, with a trimmed fender that’s blacked out behind satin-finished inverted forks and LED turn signals integrated into the mirror stems. The radiator shrouds are restyled and color-matched to the rest of the bodywork, while the new airbox side covers incorporate air scoop inlets covered with woven wire mesh. The silver five-spoke cast aluminum front and rear wheels are a new design for the V-Rod line.

A new deep seat holds the rider firmly in place against the thrust of the Revolution V-Twin engine. The Muscle features forward foot controls, and a new handlebar with internal wiring. The handlebar is 1.5-inch cast aluminum with tubular steel ends and integrated risers. Bold polished forged aluminum triple clamps secure the inverted forks and frame the distinctive V-Rod teardrop reflector optic headlamp, housed in a satin black bucket.

The long profile of a 34-degree fork rake is stretched visually by new “sidepipe” dual exhausts in satin chrome with fat, turn-out mufflers exiting behind the rear axle. The V-Rod Muscle is available in Vivid Black, Brilliant Silver, Dark Blue Denim and Red Hot Sunglo.

The Muscle is primarily a administration exercise. Rather than the added angled shapes of the added �Rods, this new guy adopts hardly added angular shapes, abnormally in the faux ammunition tank/air-box cover, advanced ancillary air-intake covers and squared-off low and adequate saddle with a rear abutment advised to authority the addition in abode during able bursts of dispatch on tap from the aforementioned super-smooth 60-degree liquid-cooled DOHC, eight-valve, Revolution 1250cc V-Twin that admiral all ’Rods.

Also new is the radiator close and minimalist rear fender with abundantly tasteful and smartly-integrated stop/turn/taillight. The added one gets from the rear of this bike, the thinner the fender looks, yet assurance isn’t impacted acknowledgment to the powerfully-bright LED lighting. In addition achievement of architecture genius, foreground LED about-face indicators are attenuated to abreast invisibleness in the mirror stalks.

The foreground fender aswell deserves administration acclaim with its rear bisected cutting a matte-black accomplishment in adjustment to abandon visually, abrogation the aboriginal consequence that alone a simple, chopped fender covers the 5-spoke cast-aluminum 19-inch foreground wheel.

The mirrors themselves, forth with the compact angular bars, internally-wired casting bar riser and simple amateur gauges with sportbike-gauge-inspired looks all add to the block o’ batten actualization of the bike.

Finally, the a lot of audible account ambience the Muscle afar from its mates is the wide, continued and low dual-exhaust. A muscle-car attending was the ambition with a individual bankrupt aqueduct per ancillary instead of the bifold over-under set up on both the Night Rod Special and V-Rod. The agleam accomplishment of the bankrupt works abnormally able-bodied on the Brilliant Silver blush scheme.
