2011 Harley-Davidson Motorcycles coming!

This weekend, at the Harley-Davidson dealer show, H-D will be introducing it’s new 2011 Harley-Davidson Motorcycles. Ooo, we can’t wait. We’ll be putting the new 2011 bikes up on our website as soon as they become available.

In the meantime, here’s a good article written by Steve Atlas of MotorcycleUSA.com with a  sneak peak of the 2011 Harley-Davidson XR1200X:

2011 Harley Davidson Motorcycle 2011 Harley Davidson Motorcycles coming!

First appearances can be misleading. Case in point: Harley-Davidson’s 2011 XR1200X. At first glance the updated Harley appears to be your average, run-of-the-mill standard, barely two steps away from a full-on cruiser. It’s for this reason that upon arriving at Eastern Wisconsin’s beautiful Road America we were surprised to be riding said machine on the racetrack for the U.S. press introduction. But 70-degree sunny weather and one of the country’s best circuits awaited us, so when in Rome… As it turns out all of our prejudices were quite unfounded.

Things started to make a bit more sense in the pre-ride technical briefing, where the motorcycle’s changes were highlighted. While there aren’t too many to speak off, the bike does feature new suspension front and rear, with Showa’s 43mm Big Piston Fork gracing the pointed end. This came as somewhat of a surprise as said Showa fork is advanced in even the most hardcore sportbike circles. Fully-adjustable dual 36mm Showa rear shocks completed the suspension changes. As for brakes, the 292mm front rotors are now floating while still being gripped by the same potent 4-pistion Nissin calipers as last year’s bike.
