It’s not a secret to motorcycle fans that <a href="http://www.harleybargains4u.com/store/Store/Harley-Davidson"  class="alinks_links" onclick="return alinks_click(this);" title=""  style="padding-right: 13px; background: url(http://harleybargains4u.com/wp-content/plugins/alinks/images/external.png) center right no-repeat;" rel="external">Harley</a>-Davidson has been looking to reinvent itself in recent years. The evidence is right in front of your eyes when you view they’re ever evolving model line.</p>
<p>The traditional Harley-Davidson image features a big road cruiser, perhaps kitted out with saddle bags and a fat faring. The brains behind the Milwaukee-based company realize they must continually reach out to younger riders, and that new generation is constantly tempted by metric street models, Japanese and Italian racers and dirt bikes.</p>
<p>So, America’s oldest and biggest maker of motorcycles trotted out new, smaller sleeker models with a more modern attitude, like the Dark Custom Iron 883, the Street Bob and – my personal favorite – the Night Rod Special.</p>
<p>But, even during this youth-centered re-invention, Harley-Davidson knows it has a solid cadre of veteran riders across the country who still want that meaty iron cruiser – a sit-straight bike with a big V-twin and a comfortable seat to trot out come warmer weather.</p>
<p>The <b>Harley-Davidson CVO Softail</b> Custom is a look back at those beefy rides that built Harley-Davidson’s legend – with a taste of the modern technology surging through the changes in the midwestern assembly lines.</p>
<p>The concept behind the CVO line is to split the difference between touring motorcycles and cruising bikes. Depending on what options you choose to trick out your ride, you can build up a massive, broad shouldered, fat-assed touring bike with a thick fairing, stereo, hard or soft saddle bags, etc.</p>
<p>Or, the owner strip it down to a cruiser minimalist look – with its metallic fleck-painted frame and chrome pipes, with just a basic windscreen and rear fender and chain guard.</p>
<p>Regardless of how an individual owner chooses to set up his or her CVO, the core of the bike remains the same. It’s a sizable motorcycle at 94.9 inches in length and an average riderless weight of 788 lbs.</p>
<p>For the considerable price tag of $29,699, the  <i>Harley-Davidson CVO Softail</i> packs an air-cooled Twin Cam 110B engine with electronic sequential fuel injection, providing 105 ft. lbs. of torque.</p>
<p>With broad, heavy pedals and high-hanging handle bars, the CVO’s ergonomics are comfortable enough. It’s extremely stable even at higher speeds. I confess that I nicked a chunk of road debris with my rear tire north of 50 mph. Such a bump in the road might have left me off balance and ready to dump a smaller bike. But, the big CVO never broke stride.</p>
<p>It’s not a bike for everyone – regardless of whether a prospective buyer likes the CVO’s comfort, stability and visual design. Its weight and construction – its general beefiness – make it a cycle for a veteran rider with some physical strength and two-wheeled experience. The clutch and front brake levers require the kind of grip that little guys complain about when they encounter an aggressive handshake.</p>
<p>And, no one would consider the <u>Harley-Davidson CVO Softail</u> a highly maneuverable motorcycle under any circumstances. It has the sort of unforgiving turning radius that gets would-be riders flunked on their road tests.</p>
<p>In the end, there are easier bikes to ride. And there are countless more affordable motorcycles on the market. But the CVO is a traditional Harley-Davidson’s owners dream bike – the kind of vehicle they save up their money to ride in their later years.<br />
And, as smooth and dignified a ride as it is, that’s why this particular make is not the motorcycle for me. It’s a little too much of everything. Too built up and too heavy. Too wide and too long. Definitely too expensive.<br />
The Harley-Davidson Softail CVO definitely delivers as both a reliable touring bike and as a cruiser, thanks to Harley-Davidson’s elaborate customization programs. But, if I was buying a Milwaukee-made motorcycle this week, I’d instead head for the smaller, sleeker and more modern Dark Custom entries, such as the Iron 883 and the Nightster, or the limited edition Night Rod Special.</p>

<p>The Seventy-Two and Softail Slim represent Harley's growth strategy as it approaches its 110th anniversary next year: attracting minorities and younger riders. The lowrider-inspired Seventy-Two, with its metal flake paint, whitewall tires and reasonable $10,499 starting price, targets the growing demographic of riders ages 18 to 34, as well as Latinos.</p>
<p>The '50s-style Softail Slim, with its chopped fenders, large 103-cubic-inch V-twin and $15,499 base price, pursues what Harley calls its "younger core": men ages 30 to 45.</p>
<p>Baby boomers have long been Harley's bread and butter, but the company, which accounts for 55% of U.S. sales of bikes larger than 650 cc, has been pursuing a younger demographic.</p>
<p>That strategy began in 2007 with its first midyear model introduction, the Nightster. Since then, Harley has been consistently filling out its youth-oriented roster with lower-priced and edgier-looking bikes including the Forty-Eight, introduced for the 2010 model year, and the Iron 883, which debuted for the 2009 model year. Harley is now seeing consistent year-over-year sales increases among Gen Y and millennial buyers, Hoyer said.</p>
<p>"From a brand perspective, you need to foster customers young and old," Hoyer said. "We need to make sure we're not only producing motorcycles for the core segment, who buy the most motorcycles, but a diversity of product for everyone."</p>
<p>In developing its Seventy-Two, Harley looked into its rearview mirror and scavenged from its past, but it also peeked into the garages of modern-day custom shops in France, Japan and Germany, where its designers were dazzled with metal flake finishes and "raw, simplified looks," Hoyer said.</p>
<p>She estimates that 40% of the Seventy-Twos that Harley builds at its York, Pa., plant this year will be sold in Europe, Asia, Latin America and other foreign markets. About a third of Softail Slims will be sold outside the U.S., she said.</p>
<p>Both bikes will start arriving at some U.S. dealers this week.</p>

The company says in government documents that brake light switches can be exposed to too much heat from the exhaust system. The brake lights can fail, and the problem also can cause fluid leaks and the loss of rear brakes.<br />
The problem affects Touring, CVO Touring and Trike vehicles from the 2009 through 2012 model years.<br />
Harley says it will notify owners of the recall. Dealers will install a rear brake light switch kit free of charge.<br />
The recall affects about 251,000 motorcycles in the U.S. alone.<br />
The company says it's aware of only one crash from the problem. It was unclear if anyone was hurt.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Janice Perzigian began 2011 on a quest to find out what makes people happy.<br />
"I can't tell you how many people said it was the freedom of riding a motorcycle, the wind in their face, even just looking at their motorcycle that made them happy," recounts Perzigian, the 48-year-old director of marketing and public relations for Cornerstone Schools in Detroit.</p>
<p>By April, she had signed up for a motorcycle riding class at Motor City <a href="http://www.harleybargains4u.com/store/Store/Harley-Davidson"  class="alinks_links" onclick="return alinks_click(this);" title=""  style="padding-right: 13px; background: url(http://harleybargains4u.com/wp-content/plugins/alinks/images/external.png) center right no-repeat;" rel="external">Harley</a>-Davidson in Farmington Hills. Before the class even started, Perzigian shelled out $18,000 for a 2011 Fat Boy Lo and another $5,000 to customize it to her petite frame.<br />
"It's fabulous," gushes Perzigian, of Royal Oak. "It fits my personality -- sophisticated, yet with some attitude and some style. It's got a bit of shine, a bit of chrome. People come running up to see it."</p>
<p>Women in Michigan are riding motorcycles in record numbers. In the past 10 years, the number of licensed Michigan bikers who are women has nearly doubled, from about 37,000 to 64,000 -- a trend that also plays out nationally.<br />
Thanks to women like Perzigian, the stereotype of the "biker chick" -- that good-time floozy content riding the back of the bike -- is fading into the distance.</p>
<p>"While many women first learned to enjoy motorcycling sitting behind a man, today's female biker doesn't want to ask for rides anymore," says Jennifer Loberman, 40, who left a career in banking and rode her motorcycle into a new job as marketing director for Motor City Harley-Davidson. "She wants to choose when she's going, where she's going and who she's going with."<br />
Genevieve Schmitt, founder of the online magazine WomenRidersNow.com , says the emergence of the serious female biker is a reflection of the growing financial and business clout of women as they climb corporate ladders and become small-business entrepreneurs.</p>
<p>Schmitt says surveys show that today's female biker is a community role model, earns $50,000 or more and is college-educated. Female biker clubs -- such as the Free Spirit Chapter out of Motor City Power Sports in Bloomfield Hills and Women in the Wind chapters -- "are the new bridge clubs" of the century, says Schmitt.</p>
<p>When Stephanie Jones gets on her 2006 Harley-Davidson Softail Deluxe motorcycle, it often takes her to work at Kettering University in Flint, where she's associate director of pre-college programs.</p>
<p>Jones, 49, was a Harley-Davidson cover model for a special brochure the iconic motorcycle company published for female riders. She first rode on a motorcycle that belonged to her then-husband. But she took her first motorcycling lessons from her pastor, who instructed Jones and four other women in the parking lot of Ebenezer Ministries in Burton about 10 years ago.<br />
Since then, Bishop Urundi Knox, started a motorcycle ministry. And Jones and about 14 other members ride on Sundays to visit the sick and homebound. Since she became a rider, two sisters and a brother in other states also have taken to motorcycling, as has her son.</p>
<p>"I'm kind of petite and my bike is kind of big, and it looks like I can't handle it," says Jones. "When people see me on the bike, they are surprised, because I'm a professional at work and the secretary at church."<br />
Jones gets as many comments on her biker clothes as on her bike. She wears ostrich cowboy boots and a helmet that matches. Her latest look is white jeans with a white Harley-Davidson vest to match. When's doing her motorcycle ministry, she's got a vest with a patch that reads: "Ebenezer Ministries. On Fire for the Lord."</p>
<p>While an increasing number of women are discovering the allure of motorcycles, manufacturers have in turn discovered the growing female market.</p>
<p>Krista Bach, 31, rides 55 miles one way on a motorcycle from Adrian to her job as clothing manager for Motor City Harley-Davidson. She sees the increase in women riders in sales at the store.</p>
<p>"You see a lot more ladies riding in independently or with a group of women," says Bach. "Women are more willing to spend a little more on their clothes and be a little more fashionable than the guys. The boys are satisfied with a black Harley T-shirt. The women are willing to buy a little bling."</p>
<p>There's no bling evident, however, on a sweltering Sunday behind a warehouse in Farmington Hills, where six would-be motorcyclists are taking nitty-gritty beginner motorcycle lessons.</p>
<p>They're learning how to throttle without stalling and how to negotiate a series of loops and curves without tipping over. Their instructor is Michelle Goodhand, 58, a dental hygienist from West Bloomfield. She started riding in 2001, with a boyfriend at the handlebars.</p>
<p>"It was pretty boring back there," says Goodhand. She took a class, but flunked her first road test. Undeterred, she tried again, passed the test, bought a bike, rode 15,000 miles the first year and dumped the boyfriend.<br />
"He was the kind of guy who got threatened by me having my own bike," says Goodhand. Now, she spends most weekends teaching. Three of her four children now ride motorcycles, too.</p>
<p>Among this session's newcomers are Kay Eubank, 50, of Auburn Hills, a credits and receivable manager; and Janette Weltch, 29, of Lincoln Park, a child care manager.</p>
<p>"This is my midlife crisis," jokes Eubank. She, too, became acquainted with motorcycles as a passenger on her husband's bike.<br />
"I didn't want to miss out on the fun," says Eubank. "Plus, I'm a control freak and not much of a passenger." She hasn't told her kids about her new passion, since she used to proclaim a hatred of motorcycles.<br />
"That's when I was in mom mode," jokes Eubank.</p>
<p>Janet Lloyd, 59, a social worker from Pontiac, took a motorcycle class offered for $25 by Mott Community College on a whim two summers ago at the urging of friends at church. She passed "by the skin of my teeth" and then bought a purple Yamaha V-Star 650. Lloyd now rides with the Free Spirit Chapter. . She looks forward to regular riding excursions with the club, a rip-roaring posse of women on wheels.<br />
"I love it. It's a good feeling. You feel really bold, especially when the guys start looking at you," she says. "All kinds of worries and stresses fall off of me. It's the best kind of anti-depressant that a person can take."<br />
y the numbers</p>
<p>• About one out of nine motorcycle owners nationwide is a woman.<br />
• Of 11 million motorcycles in the U.S. in 2009, about 1.5 million were owned by women.<br />
• The estimated number of motorcycle riders who are women -- which includes women who own motorcycles and those who just ride them -- jumped from 4.3 million in 2003 to 5.6 million in 2008. That's a 30% increase.<br />
• The median age of female motorcyclists in 2009 was 37 -- down from 41 in 2008.<br />
• 40% of female motorcyclists are married.<br />
• 36% of female motorcyclists have a college or post-graduate degree.<br />
• 25% of female motorcyclists are business or health care professionals.<br />
• 58% of women take a motorcycle riding course compared to 44% of men.</p>

2011 FLTRUSE CVO </p>
<p>There is something cleansing about a ride through the tall pines in the thin mountain air. Wheels and gears spin, aerating the soul the same way the gray granite boulders churn California's Truckee River into white and green froth.<br />
The pulse from the 110 cubic inch Screamin' Eagle motor distances me from the mundane and puts me in the moment. I consider the remnants of the winter's snow above Squaw Valley.

<p>Making our way out of Tahoe, my wife Jane and I have the pleasure of riding the Road Glide Ultra. For the first time, the Road Glide designed by Harley's now-legendary Custom Vehicle Operations group gets the Ultra designation, marking it as the pinnacle in its line. </p>
<p>Exclusivity is maintained with a limited production; approximately 3000 will be available in three paint schemes and a tome of impressive custom features, making the <i>Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide</i> Ultra one of the most desirable motorcycles to come off an assembly line.</p>
<p>Turning west onto Interstate 80 in Truckee, we hit the inevitable road work that dogs mountain highways. Built as a serious touring machine, the Road Glide Ultra is constructed upon the latest Harley-Davidson Touring chassis, with its strong single-spar backbone frame and two-piece swingarm. </p>
<p>This rigid frame adds durability and maneuverability. Air adjustable shocks allow the suspension to be customized depending on the load and help minimize the effects of a rough road, while anti-lock brakes ensure a safe stop on crusty pavement.</p>
<p>Past the construction and over the infamous Donner Pass, Jane's long hair billows out behind her as I open the throttle to hit highway speed. Making up the heart of the Road Glide Ultra is the Screamin' Eagle Twin Cam 110 engine, which pumps out 115 ft/lbs of torque at 4000 rpm. </p>
<p>Electronic Throttle Control coupled with Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection mix the perfect ratio of air and fuel for the combustion chambers-jerking, surging, or bogging do not happen. </p>
<p>The 45-degree pulse coming from the engine is pure American soul encased in chrome and granite powdercoat, buffered with rubber mounts. Chrome 2-1-2 dual mufflers, finalized by billet end caps with inlaid black spears, let everyone within earshot know you are riding a Harley. </p>
<p>I flip on the cruise control and stretch my legs out on the highway pegs, enjoying the new two-up touring seat with adjustable rider backrest. The dual-control heated touring seat has a hammock style system that suspends the rider and passenger above the seat pan providing isolation from the road and adding comfort. </p>
<p>The saddle is narrower at the front for improved comfort when stopped and the leather passenger backrest has adjustable lumbar support and model-specific embroidery. Long distance comfort is exceptional and worthy of both the CVO and Ultra monikers.</p>
<p>As we approached the off ramp onto California Highway 20-just east of the impossibly scenic Emigrant Gap-our Road Tech Zümo 660 GPS interrupted The Loft channel on the XM satellite radio to announce the turn. Through the 40-watt per channel Harman/Kardon Advanced Audio system, instructions from the GPS are loud and clear. </p>
<p>The integrated system produces its sound using a new amplifier with customized equalization for the four Boom! Bagger speakers. A diminutive Apple iPod Nano is included with the bike, along with two headsets for the CB/intercom.</p>
<p>A few miles down California 20, steering is light due to the frame-mounted fairing, so the bike handles admirably on tight mountain roads. Dunlop Multi-Tread dual-compound tires mounted on 18-inch mirror chrome Agitator wheels bookend the long-haul chassis that is successfully designed for handling and endurance. </p>
<p>Abundant traction allows me to confidently lean the bike two-up until the floorboards drag. Eventually, the tall trees started blocking the XM satellite signal so I switched over to the iPod, which has an interface and holder located in the right saddlebag.</p>
<p>Stopping in Nevada City for lunch at the Stonehouse Restaurant featuring 1849-style California, Jane and I stretch our legs and admire the shining opulence afforded by the <u>Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide</u> Ultra. The exquisite Rio Red and Black Ember paint scheme of our mount is beyond comparison in its quality and precision. </p>
<p>The depth of the red metallic on black paint with quartzite pin striping is immense and draws the eye. Rumble Collection trim features black rubber with chrome highlights on the four footboards, shift and brake pedals, highway pegs, saddlebag latch covers, and heated grips with chrome end caps. Diamond-cut inserts are presented on the CB pod, intake cover and Tour-Pak lid.<br />
The shark-nose frame-mounted fairing with dual headlights that recall classic muscle cars spreads out in front of the rider like an amphitheater. Analog gauges are set symmetrically around the audio system in the color-matched console. </p>
<p>The 16-inch windscreen nicely deflects air around the rider compartment, but the upper edge is right in my line of sight, distorting in my view. Saddlebag liners are provided and the Tour-Pak has a plush liner with CVO monogram and both can be remotely locked using the key fob. </p>
<p>The Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide Ultra is a no-compromise luxury machine designed to gap the vastness that lies ahead. Rider and passenger experience the elusive X-factor: exclusivity. Secure in the knowledge that their mode of transportation is on a level far removed from the ordinary-perhaps far removed from the extraordinary.</p>
<p>In the 2011 Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide Ultra, there is nothing lacking to come between you and the horizon.<br />
