Three new models from Harley for 2011

Harley-Davidson introduces the new SuperLow, XR1200X, and Road Glide Ultra models as part of its expansive line of motorcycles for model year 2011. With 32 models, including urban brawlers, long-haul touring machines, contemporary customs drenched in chrome, dark retro-style bobbers, exhilarating sport roadsters, and inviting standards, Harley-Davidson® offers a motorcycle to fulfill the desires of almost any street rider. Each bike rolls to the soundtrack of the road, a syncopated V-Twin cadence that is the pulse of every Harley-Davidson motorcycle.


Highlights of the 2011 Harley-Davidson line include:

 - The new SuperLow model combines revised front-end geometry, new wheels and tires, a reshaped seat, and handlebars to achieve well-balanced handling and comfort that will inspire confidence in new riders and exhilarate those with experience.

- The qualities of a frame-mounted fairing and luxury touring accommodations come together in the new Road Glide Ultra model. Powered by a Twin Cam 103 engine, this long-haul beauty comes equipped with a King Tour-Pak luggage carrier, vented fairing lowers, ABS (antilock braking system), the Harley- Davidson Smart Security System, cruise control, and a four-speaker, 80-watt Harman/Kardon Advanced Audio System.

-  The new XR1200X motorcycle is Harley-Davidson Sportster performance honed to its finest edge, with adjustable front and rear suspension, floating front brake rotors, and the surging power of a high compression 1200cc Evolution V-Twin engine.

- Select Touring models gain power and technology with the new Harley-Davidson® PowerPak, which is a bundle that joins the Twin Cam 103 engine with ABS (anti-lock braking system) and the H-D Smart Security System. PowerPak is a standard feature on the 2011 Road King Classic, Electra Glide Ultra Limited, and Road Glide Ultra models, and will be available as a Factory-installed option on the 2011 Street Glide and Road Glide Custom models.

- 2011 Harley-Davidson Softail models, with the exception of the Cross Bones model, are now available with optional ABS. New hand controls add features, convenience, and a cleaner style to the bike.

- The 2011 VRSC power-cruisers are available with a new Security Package option, which bundles ABS with the H-D Smart Security System for greater value. Michelin Scorcher tires, new colours, and new graphics round out the changes to the Night Rod® Special and V-Rod Muscle models.

- The four 2011 Dyna models project pure attitude. Built with the rawest styling of all the Big Twin motorcycles, Dyna models are a customizer’s dream. Each is offered in new colours.

Harley-Davidson Custom Vehicle Operations (CVO) offers four premium, limited-production motorcycles for 2011.

- The new CVO Road Glide Ultra model features a Road Tech zūmo 660 GPS navigation system, an upgraded Harman/Kardon Advanced Audio System with Boom! Bagger speakers and an 8 GB iPod nano and dock, as well as a two-up suspended touring seat with dual heat controls.

- The CVO Street Glide bike rolls on a new 19-inch Agitator front wheel, and new ventilated fairing lowers house two of the six speakers that are part of a 100-watt-per-channel audio system that incorporates an 8 GB iPod nano with dock.

- The CVO Softail Convertible motorcycle has a new audio system that integrates 3.5-inch speakers and a 20-watt-per-channel amplifier into a redesigned inner fairing. Music is delivered by an 8 GB iPod nano stored in a protective pouch. Also new is a 1.25-inch welded mini-ape handlebar, Electronic Throttle Control (ETC), cruise control, keyless ignition, and ABS.

- The CVO Ultra Classic Electra Glide model has a new suspended, heated, two-up seat with leather inserts. Dual mufflers feature new chrome billet end caps with black spears, and new mirrors are finished in mirror chrome.
