Harley-Davidson Rolls Out New Models For 2011
Mainline and CVO models released: Other Additions Include New PowerPak Touring Combo and Available ABS for Softail models
MILWAUKEE (July 27, 2010) - A few days ago, at a spanking new LEED-certified resort hotel nestled in a vineyard under an uncharacteristically clear blue Oregon sky, Harley-Davidson unveiled its 2011 motorcycle lineup to the media.
Going for a repeat of last year's ambitious nine-model rollout (that's including the CVO bikes) would not be an option this year, and Harley has understandably decided to play its hand closer to the vest. For 2011, the MoCo has opted to debut a more reasonable 3 models (7 if you include the CVOs, but there are three returning models this year, which usually means no major upgrades).
The first machines to pop up on the PowerPoint presentation last week were the three main-line 2011 models: the all-new Sportster SuperLow, the tweaked XR1200X and the latest addition to the Touring platform, the Road Glide Ultra.
The rest of the line was touched upon briefly, and we learned that the expansive group of 32 machines run the style gamut, from urban brawlers and long-haul touring machines, to street-savvy bobbers and rocking sport roadsters.
Along with the new models, Harley has also added many new accessories and parts including a lot of new cool paint schemes such as metal flake rootbeer and candy apple green.
Harley has finally caught on with the styling of vintage and old school helmets and has added 4 new 3/4 DOT approved helmets as well. Canadian prices are yet to be listed but the American price on these helmets start at $195, which means the cost for us will be somewhere around that $250 range.
