Here’s a lower-priced smaller-displacement version of the 1200 Custom that offers the same basic features but for about $2000 less. It gets the same 21-inch front wheel, cut-down rear suspension and 30.1-degree steering angle as the bigger-displacement model, but without quite so much chrome, especially on the engine covers. Also available: The Sportster 883 Low, which is fundamentally the same machine hut with a 19-inch cast front wheel, a smaller gas tank, a solo seat and. most important, shorter suspension that provides a 1-inch lower seat height.

A variation on the original VRSC, this model is the closest interpretation of that ground-breaking bike. Now packing an ultra-fat 240mm rear tire but retaining its 36-degree steering-head angle, forward foot controls, pullback handlebar, drag-style cast aluminum rear wheel and chrome slash-cut exhaust, it’s spicier than ever. The liquid-cooled Revolution engine pumps out 121 hp and 84 ft.-lb. of torque and is fitted with a slipper clutch, legitimizing its place in the “power-cruiser” segment of the market. Plus, the V-Rod’s 2009 prices are $1500 to $1800 lower than those of the 2008 models.

Black is back, and the Night Rod Special is here to prove it. This is, for the most part, a standard V-Rod that looks like its been dunked in a giant vat of black paint. Just about everything-engine, frame, bodywork, fork sliders, triple-clamps, swingarm and small “speed screen”-is black. The slotted cast aluminum wheels have a thin orange pinstripe as an accent, and the otherwise-black exhaust system has brushed-aluminum covers on the mufflers. With the 1250cc engine pounding out a claimed 125 horsepower and 85 ft.-lb. of torque, the Night Rod Special is special indeed.

The newest member of the V-Rod family fits its name perfectly. Thanks to its wide stance and new angular bodywork, you won’t confuse it with any other Harley on the road. A fat, 240mm rear tire sits under a clipped rear fender that has LED stop/turn/ taillights tucked under the trailing edge. A side-mounted license plate leaves the fender clutter-free. An inverted fork is mounted at a 34-degree rake, providing much of the stretched look. Five-spoke cast aluminum wheels measure 19 inches up front and 18 out back. A deeply stepped seat, forward foot controls and a handlebar with internal wiring plant the rider in a laid-back position. Options include ABS and a Smart Security System.

The Electra Glide Ultra from Harley s CVO line is about as decked-out as a touring bike can get. Powered by the torque-rich Twin Cain 110 engine, this Glide “glides” the highway with authority and in comfort. Built on the new-for-’09 Touring chassis, the SE4 receives all the benefits of improved handling and road holding. It comes with custom leather Tour-Pak, Harman/Kardon AM/FM/XM radio with amplifier, nav system, integral garage-door opener, new Roulette wheels, Smart Security System and gangs of other dress-up accessories. You could say this bike has it all.

Claimed dry weight: 847 lb.A perfect recipient for CVOs power-up treatment, this bagger is based on the ‘09 Road Glide. This also marks the third time the Road Glide has gotten the special CVO touch. It packs a Screamin’ Eagle Twin Cam 110 motor that Harley claims thunders out 115 ft.-lb. of torque, enough to launch rider and passenger down the road in a hurry. It breathes in through a new Stage 1 air cleaner and exhales through four-inch touring pipes. The new FL-series frame and swingarm improve the handling, new motor mounts keep it smooth at idle, and more shiny surfaces than a mirror factory make this Glide glow.

New to the H-D line just last year, the popular Dyna Fat Bob got the full-boat Custom Vehicles Operation treatment for 2009. The Screamin’ Eagle equipment on this rolling showcase includes the company’s 110-inch stroker engine, “Heavy Breather” air cleaner, “Tommy Gun” exhaust, self-adjusting hydraulic clutch actuation and all-new 16-inch cast “Fang” wheels.

Here’s a way to dazzle the neighborhood every time your garage door opens. The CVO Springer takes one of the most remarkable models in the line and pushes it to the limit, with asphalt-shaking power, blinding chrome and custom innovation. Like the rest of the CVO line, it is powered by a 110-inch Twin Cam engine driving through a six-speed tranny, and it is fitted with a Screamin’ Eagle Heavy Breather air cleaner and chromed Shotgun Slash Down mufflers. Chromed forged aluminum Revolver wheels and lowered suspension riding on a fat, 200mm rear tire arc other highlights.

The Tri (Hide marks Harley s second foray into the three-wheel segment (from 1932 to 1973, the company made the Servi-Car) and the first product emerging from H-D’s 2006 agreement with Lehman Trikes. Basically, it is an Ultra Classic Electra Glide with a modified rear section incorporating dual rear wheels and a large luggage trunk. Power is from a 103-inch engine instead of a 96-incher, and different front-end geometry allows better non-leaning steering behavior. The Tri Glide carries a two-year limited warranty and is sold and serviced by the H-D dealer network. An electric-motor-powered Reverse is optional.

Take a wildly powerful, 160-horsepower engine, mate it to a sleekly faired, slick-handling chassis, add color-matched detachable hard saddlebags and you’ve got yourself a sport-touring cruise missile. That’s the new K1300GT This year, the fuel-injected Four is 136cc bigger, makes more midrange power and responds more cleanly and smoothly to throttle inputs. Plus, all K-bikes now conic standard with universal handlebar switch-gear. Second-generation ESA II electronically adjustable suspension and Automatic Stability Control (ASC) are available options.

Look out, Kawasaki and Suzuki! With a bump in displacement and other engine changes resulting in a claimed 175 hp and l03-ft.-lb. of torque, the K-bike now has all the go-juice necessary to compete head-to-head with the class-leading ZX-14 and Hayabusa. The latest, greatest S model handles better and is more stable, too, thanks in part to lighter Duolever front suspension and a two-stage driveshaft, part of the Paralever rear end that elimi¬nates chassis jacking during acceleration. Optional IIP Gearshift Assistant allows seamless, clutchless, full-throttle upshifts. How’s that for progress?

If taking in majestic sights on an epic multi-clay trip is your thing, you’ll need an equally majestic and epic motorcycle. The powerful, sporty-handling K1200LT-with its standard cruise control, ABS, reverse, eight-speaker AM/FM/CD audio system, intercom, adjustable windscreen and rider seat, heated seals and grips, electro-hydraulic centerstand and chrome package-could just be that machine. Select the optional GPS navigation receiver and you can travel without fear of ever getting lost. Throw in the optional six-disc CD changer and you’ll never be short of tunes, either.

Powered by one of the most impressive V-Twin engines ever and riding on a stunning chassis, this superbike will appeal to even the most discerning Italophiles. If the Ducati Testastretta Evoluzione engine from the 1098 doesn’t get your blood flowing, your heart must have stopped pumping.

With forged alloy wheels, top-of-the-line Brembo brakes and more CNC-machined aluminum than you can shake a stick at, this is one of the most desirable bikes ever.
