Some other motorbike news in brief
Four new bikes from Harley
HARLEY DAVIDSON is releasing four exciting new motorcycles for 2010.
A new XR1200X, an updated Electra Glide, a new Fat Boy and an entirely new model: the Dyna Wide Glide.
The XR1200X has a blacked-out engine casing, upside-down forks, a matt black tail, tank and mudguards and improved suspension to enhance performance and handling.
According to Harley: “As much an upgrade as it is an evolution of the XR concept, the updated styling has a predatory edge.”
The new Dyna Wide Glide is powered by a rubber-mounted Twin Cam 96 V-Twin engine.
It’s boldly styled, low, stretched-out and old-school. With a wide front end, the handlebars are mounted on four-inch black risers and the lowered front and rear suspension reduces seat height to 25.5 inches.
