New Custom 2014 Harley Davidson Dyna Super Gilde

The Harley-Davidson Dyna motorcycles feature styling inspired by the ‘70s spirit of self-expression teamed with modern performance. The H-D Dyna family was introduced in 1991 with the release of a limited-production FXDB Sturgis model. The Motor Company built the Dyna as a replacement for the FXR.

The 2014 Super Glide Custom FXDC boasts on chrome-covered parts and proudly exhibits the classic attitude which made it into the riders' hearts back in the 70's. Rich shiny accents on the battery box cover, cooling fins or rocker covers are a nifty complement to the premium paint and sculpted seat, while the beefy staggered exhausts match the shiny steel pulled-back handlebars, forks and massive tank-mounted instrumentation.

The motorcycle’s center piece is a Twin Cam 96 engine with black powder-coated heads and cylinders highlighted by machined cooling fin tips and chrome rocker covers. The engine is mated on a six-speed Cruise Drive Transmission that offers an average fuel consumption of 43 mpg.

2012 Victory Hard Ball Review

2012 Victory Hard Ball Review A new model has been announced by Victory with styling features including a helmet based on a scorched coconut, legs too stumpy to be able to retract the sidestand and a long and intensive burger-driven mass centralisation programme.

The core of the 2012 Hard-Ball mirrors the High-Ball same two-way adjustable factory Apehangers, spoked wheels wrapped in beefy tires, and Victory’s quick-revving Freedom 106 spooned tightly in the frame. And that’s a good thing. The 1731cc Freedom 106 provides a spirited ride with a wide spread of power on the High-Ball, and despite a little larger fender on the front end, steering should still be light with the absence of a fairing most baggers or tourers sport. Gauges are Spartan, consisting of a small round analog speedo with basic diagnostic symbols incorporated into the face like a Neutral indicator, ABS engagement indicator, low fuel warning, high beams, cruise control and an engine problem warning light.

The bike will be available only in black with red pinstripes and is "hopefully" due to be publicly unveiled in the UK at the Carole Nash MCN Motorcycle Show at London’s ExCel from February 2-5 next year. It’s expected in dealers from late February/early March with the price confirmed at £15,995.

New 2012 Harley V-Rod Brithday 10th

New 2012 Harley V-Rod Brithday 10th Ten years already that Harley-Davidson launched the original liquid-cooled Revolution engine in a brand new styling called the V-Rod. The V-Rod 10th Anniversary Edition is a tribute to the original 2002 V-Rod, the motorcycle that introduced brilliant silver pearl bodywork with color-matched frame. The 2012 anniversary model retains the evocation of anodized aluminum bodywork featured on the original V-Rod. Extra chrome and polished surfaces dazzle on the engine, exhaust and speed screen.

It seems like only a couple years ago I first gazed upon this Harley, but folks, the reality is that 10 years have passed since the tradition-busting V-Rod first rolled into the Harley lineup. Ten years! To mark the ‘Rod’s notable birthday Harley has created a 10th Anniversary Edition V-Rod as part of the company’s 2012 model lineup. The 10th joins the Night Rod Special and Muscle, making the VRSC series a family of three for this year.

The Night Rod special updates for 2012 include ABS as standard, Brembo double disc brakes, upside forks with new hydraulic system, and a classic double rear shock. The look is dominated by the Michelin Scorcher tyres, and new alloy wheels save 1.4 kg - off the overall weight of 289 kg. A narrow rear light is part of the style and a new inclusion upfront is the smaller front mudguard, but otherwise it’s the same old Rod.

2012 Harley Street Bob Spesification

2012 Harley Street Bob Spesification The 2012 Harley-Davidson Street Bob is priced at $12,999 in Vivid Black, and now offers an available security package with ABS, and a new paint color option. Power comes from a Twin-Cam 96 engine that produces 92 ft-lbs of torque.

Completely redesigned in 2009, the Street Bob® goes straight back to the minimalist roots of the bobber scene. Stripped down to the bare essentials, and as “naked” as the law allows, the Street Bob goes right to the heart of riding with no distractions along the way.Since its introduction, this attitude-laden motorcycle has taken the custom world by storm with mini ape-hanger handlebar, Fat Bob® fuel tank, solo seat, mid-mounted foot controls and a big, black Twin Cam 96™ engine.

Another equalizer is how quickly the 9-plate, wet clutch of the Street Bob engages. Barely unleash the clutch cable and the Street Bob’s gears grab-and-go as it catches much earlier in the release. This caught me by surprise on occasion during slow speed maneuvering when the bike lunged forward, but the majority of the time it is a boon. And while the clutch action is lively, the 6-speed Cruise Drive Transmission still engages with a familiar ‘click,’ but every year Harley seems to dial it in a little bit better as the 2010 version is a touch quieter and better-sorted than before. Even though you feel every shift, the tranny at least hit each gear without a miss and the new helical-cut fifth gear offers a broad range of power, from loping along in low revs at 55 to winding it out up to 90 mph. Frequently I believed I was in the top gear before realizing I had one more click to go.

Convenience is also always present in every product Harley Davidson. XL883L SuperLow Sportster 883 also provides extra comfort for every rider. Thanks to the support of a great suspense. Front suspension using a 39 mm Showa ®. Rear suspension uses coil-over; preload dual-adjustable. SuperLow Sportster 883 also provides good braking system as well. If you are a loyal fan of Harley Davidson, then you can try out 2012 Harley-Davidson Sportster 883 XL883L SuperLow, and find a great sensation.

As for suspension, Harley offers the Super Low with generous rear-suspension travel and easy-to-reach bars, creating a favorable ride for various-sized riders. On a lengthy stretch of highway connecting the Oregon towns of Newberg and Pacific City, the SuperLow performed rather well for touring duty, offering a more comfortable ride quality than we’ve seen in any past Sportster model.

Though vibrations make their way through the footpegs at highway speeds, saddle comfort and confident straight-line dynamics prove a boon for long distance rides. But when the road gets twisty, the SuperLow takes on a distinct disadvantage; with “soft” lean angles of just under 25 degrees (which becomes steeper if you take into consideration when “hard” parts like exhaust pipes make contact), the tradeoff for the SuperLow’s accommodating seat height is a tendency to scrape pegs, which gets wearisome on winding roads.
