2012 range highlights
• Harley-Davidson celebrates a decade of power cruising with the V-Rod 10th Anniversary Edition motorcycle, finished in Brilliant Silver Pearl bodywork that evokes the anodised aluminum bodywork of the original V-Rod model that introduced the liquid-cooled Revolution V-Twin engine in 2002. The Night Rod Special is updated with new tapered tail section, lighter-weight wheels, an inverted front fork and improved ergonomics. All VRSC models will carry V-Rod 10th Anniversary badges.
• The new Dyna Switchback combines hard saddlebags and a windshield with the eager handling and Twin Cam 103 performance of the Dyna chassis. It’s a custom-touring bike ready for a long weekend trip, until the detachable bags and windshield are removed. Then in minutes the Switchback becomes a custom street cruiser with a gleaming headlamp nacelle, five-spoke cast- aluminum wheels and a mini-ape handlebar. It’s Harley’s latest take on a convertible concept that makes the versatile Switchback two motorcycles in one.
• All Harley-Davidson Softail models get the performance boost of the Twin Cam 103 engine for 2012, with the exception of the Blackline. The Fat Boy and Fat Boy Special have a new handlebar bend for more-comfortable ergonomics. A new tubeless-tyre Chrome Profile Laced Wheel is available for the Softail Deluxe.
• The Twin Cam 103 powertrain gives all Harley-Davidson Touring models assertive power for passing. On Touring models, the Twin Cam 103 is equipped with an oil cooler. The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Smart Security System is offered as standard on all models.
All-new CVO model for 2012
• The new CVO Road Glide Custom is one of four limited-production 2012 models from Harley- Davidson Custom Vehicle Operations (CVO)TM each turned out with bold paint, gleaming chrome, high-output audio and the most-powerful V-Twin engines offered in production Harley- Davidson motorcycles. CVO Road Glide Custom is a hot-rod bagger with a frame-mounted fairing topped with a smoked Wind Splitter windshield, a high-output, amplified Harman/Kardon Advanced Audio system, and a color-matched, low-profile fuel tank console.
Three CVO models return for 2012 with new paint schemes and features
• 2012 CVO Street Glide: A high-performance bagger with a fork-mounted bat-wing fairing, the CVO Street Glide has enhanced audio performance with a two-amp/eight-speaker system that includes speakers in the fairing, fairing lowers, and now also in the saddlebag lids. Also new is a low-profile solo touring seat with an embossed insert pattern, detachable passenger pillion and backrest pad, and Diamond Cut Charcoal engine cover inserts and instrument faces. Three new color combinations are available.
• 2012 CVO Softail Convertible: Detachable compact fairing, saddlebags, passenger pillion and backrest make it possible to transform the CVO Softail Convertible from touring to cruising format in minutes. For 2012, a redesigned windshield significantly reduces turbulence to the rider and integrates a Road TechTM zūmo 660 GPS Navigator with an MP3 player. Turn-by-turn voice commands play over the two-speaker audio system. The detachable leather saddlebags match the seat and passenger backrest in either distressed brown leather or black leather with reptileinserts. A welded mini-ape handlebar adds a custom touch. Electronic cruise control, keyless ignition and an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) provide touring functionality. Three new colour combinations are available.
• 2012 CVOTM Ultra Classic Electra Glide: This ultimate long-haul touring motorcycle is ready to take on the most-challenging touring rides with style. New features for 2012 start with BOOM!TM Audio High Performance BOOM! BaggerTM Speakers plus new BOOM!TM Audio Bass Booster Ports in the Tour-Pak bottom liner. These are all powered by an amplifier tuned to match the dynamics of the speakers and the motorcycle environment. An 8GB Apple iPod nano and iPod interface completes the audio package. The CVO Ultra rolls on new Mirror Chrome Chisel Custom wheels with matching brake rotors, and the King Tour-Pak features new chrome LED brake/tail lamps. The suspended, dual-control heated, two-up seat and adjustable passenger backrest have an H-D Bar & Shield monogram and pebbled pattern texture. Electronic Throttle Control (ETC), cruise control, and ABS are standard equipment. Three new color combinations are available.
