It’s been a busy summer for Harley-Davidson. Now they brings in some new Harley's. Here's a quick look at the 2009 models. FXD Dyna Super Glide:
FXD Dyna Super Glide This is Dyna in its purest form. The Super Glide offers Twin Cam 96 power under a solo seat, cradled in a nimble Dyna chassis. This most affordable example of the Big Twin breed is an inviting canvas for extreme and creative customization. FXD Dyna Super Glide features: Vibration isolated Twin Cam 96 engine 6-speed Cruise Drive transmission Silver powder-coated engine and polished rocker boxes New silver-faced speedometer with range countdown New low profile front fender New fuel sender New tank graphics Chrome Staggered Shorty Dual exhaust 160 mm-17 rear / 100 mm-19 front tires Silver 10-spoke Cast Aluminium wheels Wrap-around rear fender 4.8-gallon Fat Bob fuel tank Low-rise handlebar 29-degree fork angle Handlebar-mounted speedometer Solo seat Mid-mount foot controls Optional Smart Security System CVO Ultra Classic Electra Glide:
If you want to cover big miles on a big comfortable bike this is the one. With 113 ft. lbs. of torque at 3,750 cruising the plains or riding the Sierras will be a quick comfortable ride.
CVO Road Glide:
Approximately 3,000 lucky buyers will call this slick looking CVO Road Glide their own. With the Screamin' Eagle 110 Twin Cam engine producing 115 ft. lbs. of torque at 4,000 rpm cruising at speed will not be a problem. Changes to the exhaust system and the all new touring frame add up to increased comfort for both rider and passenger.
Harley Davidson’s Custom Vehicle Operations (CVO), builds bikes with a little extra, well, actually, a lot extra, and these special models stand out in looks and performance. For 2009 there are 4 models, the CVO Road Glide, CVO Ultra Classic Electra Glide. CVO Dyna Fat Bob and CVO Softail Springer. All 4 run the Screamin’ Eagle Twin Cam 110 engine plus the Road Glide and Electra Glide are built on the new touring frame. The Road Glide, shown above, in the orange and black paint is a pretty nice looking bagger and the Ultra Classic seems like it would be one very comfortable and capable cross country machine. If you’re looking for the top of the line among Harley-Davidsons,check out the CVO models. XL1200C Sportster:
The suspension has been upgraded on the 2009 Sportster Custom Models. The new Slotted Cast Aluminum rear wheel is four pounds lighter to reduce unsprung weight. Combined with the chrome Laced Steel 21-inch front wheel and chrome components the XL1200C has a custom hot rod look.
