Harley Tri Glide®

The new 2020 CVO Harley Tri Glide® is the first three-wheeler to make the cut and be included in The Motor Company’s uber-exclusive CVO club. Yep, for 2020, the new CVO Tri Glide® model joins the Limited and Harley Street Glide® two-wheelers in the high-end, limited-production, super-premium category.

You sort of had to have seen it coming, no? I mean, The Motor Company says this is the most-requested model in the history of Custom Vehicle Operations, so it was only a matter of time before popular opinion moved the needle. The trike, naturally, is awash with all sorts of premium components and up-spec tech, like a top-of-the-line Boom! Box GTS infotainment system with premium speakers, as well as the Boom. Audio 30K Bluetooth headset to control all the goods wirelessly. But Harley-Davidson® says this “ultimate three-wheeler” is set up for touring too, so you’ll also find creature comforts like heated rider and passenger seats, a touring rack, backlit handlebar controls (very nice), a CB radio, and lots of other high-end goodies as well.

LED lighting all around, which includes a Daymaker headlamp, fog lamps, tail/brake lamps, and signals, as well as a low-profile shield to punch a hole in the atmosphere. A Ventilator air cleaner (with insert) beautifies the right side, with Kahuna Collection accessories—heated rider grips, pegs, rider and passenger floorboards, and muffler tips—to cap off the premium vibe. A slimmer front fender reveals more of the custom 19-inch Tomahawk Contrast Cut wheel, with an 18-incher out back. Got all that?

The 2020 CVO Tri Glide® comes in a choice of two premium custom paint finishes – Blizzard White with a three-stripe graphic pattern, Gray Contrast Cut wheels, and Bright Chrome finishes; or Black Stardust with a three-stripe graphic pattern, Gloss Black Contrast Cut wheels, and Bright Chrome finishes. Since this is a CVO machine, it will cost you, but so worth it! Andrew Cherney/Cruiser

This bike is loaded and ready to hit the road.

2020 Harley-Davidson Street® 750

The new 2020 Street® 750 is a fun and affordable entry-point to the cruiser family. Providing commuters and riders on a budget with an authentic V-twin experience. Since the world’s first meeting with the model in 2014, the Street 750 has remained a part of Harley’s lineup. As the company works to expand its ridership with motorcycles that appeal to newer riders and those navigating the surface streets of urban environments.

Street® 750 – Reviews, Comparisons & Competition

Cycle World was fortunate enough to swing a leg over a preproduction 750 (for the US market) before it’s public debut in 2014, following that ride up with a second pass on the production model when it was released that summer. It marked a major shift for Harley-Davidson® at the time. The bike proved able in urban situations and proved able to stand up to its primary competition at the time. It hasn’t changed much since it first came to market in 2014, holding steady for riders who want a relatively simple and fun Harley in their garage.

A Look at the Updated Harley-Davidson® Sportster Line

If you’ve got your eye on the Iron 883, you’re in for a real treat. For the new model year, Sportsters have received a raw and rough-around-the-edges Dark Custom look that greatly enhances their visual appeal. However, these motorcycles have more to offer than sleek new styling. They also benefit from new suspensions and a new seat for enhanced ride comfort and enjoyment.

Racing.

Land speed records.

Epic Road Trips.

The motorcycle that’s done it all, now does it all better!

Updates for this model start with an enticing blacked-out and aggressive throwback style, a new rolled leather seat for added comfort and new pipes. In addition, the bike gets two sleek new black, 9-spoke cast aluminum wheels with machined highlights. New nitrogen-charged shock absorbers are also part of the updates. It sets the standard for the raw, stripped-down, blacked-out look.

It has become the poster bike of the anti-chrome movement. With black powder-coated 883cc engine and black rocker covers to start. Throw in a black round air cleaner cover, chopped fenders, to show a little rubber and black front forks with gaiters. It all adds up to some old-school nostalgia.

An update to the trill of riding, stripped to its bare essence. A modern take on what’s been putting big grins on the faces of Harley-Davidson Sportster motorcycle riders for decades. With a 1200CC Evolution Engine at your command this bike delivers tons of torque for an unforgettably fun ride.

It is blacked out from powertrain to air cleaner cover to exhaust. Equipped to take on the urban grid. Add throwback to the 70’s custom tank art that features authentic bold retro looks and you have a Sportster like no other.

Harley-Davidson® Softail Street Bob

Call Me Bob, But Don’t Call Me Dyna.

What we wanted to know at Cycle World was how one of the bikes formerly known as Dyna, such as the 2018 Street Bob, is expressed as a Softail.

Like, does it feel legit?

Is it better than the Dyna?

Yes!

It doesn’t feel the same, but it feels good. Our Street Bob with its Milwaukee-Eight 107 is super quick.

The Street Bob 103 we dyno tested recently made 65 hp and 88 pound-feed, by comparison. A useful increase, and combined with the reduced weight, makes for spirited blasting around on the Bob.

Chassis feedback, damping, and steering feel are all superior to that of previous Dynas. This is quality damping at work, and the first time we felt the “squish” of rebound-damping control at play, we were pleasantly surprised. Turn-in is crisp, steering is far more neutral, and the bike held its line well.

It’s still a cruiser in terms of cornering clearance, but in a cruiser state of mind, you can ride hard. The profile is similar to that of the previous bike, and it’s pretty stripped down in terms of styling and presence.

This bike is now lettered up as FXBB, and, at least, you won’t have any trouble wondering by its code name if it’s a Dyna. Because this is definitely not a Dyna, and there’s nothing wrong with that at all.

Harley-Davidson® The Study Continued

Reduce Stress and Ride a Harley-Davidson®

Motorcyclists have long championed riding a Harley-Davidson® motorcycle as their main road to stress relief and positive mental health. Today, the results of a neurobiological study have yielded pioneering scientific evidence stating that they are right. The study found that motorcycling increased metrics of focus and attention, and decreased relative levels of cortisol, a hormonal marker of stress. This is huge!

Researchers recorded participants’ brain activity and hormone levels. The results were impressive. Riding a motorcycle decreased hormonal biomarkers of stress by 28%. On average, riding for 20 minutes increased heart rates by 11% and adrenaline levels by 27% – similar to light exercise.

Sensory focus was enhanced on a motorcycle vs driving a car. The changes in study participants’ brain activity suggested an increase in alertness. Like drinking a cup of coffee.

“While scientists have long-studied the relationship of brain and hormone responses to attention and stress, doing so in real-life conditions such as these is rare,” explained UCLA Professor and senior team member, Dr. Mark Cohen. “No lab experiment can duplicate the feelings that a motorcyclist would have on the open road.”

“The differences in participants’ neurological and physiological responses between riding and other measured activities were quite pronounced,” continued Dr. Vaughn. “This could be significant for mitigating everyday stresses.” Find your freedom and vitality on a Harley-Davidson® today.

Harley-Davidson Street® 750

New and Used Motorcycles Salem

Carve the canyons of the urban grid with a Harley-Davidson Street® bike. You get the power of the 750cc Revolution X™ engine and the confidence and quick handling of a nimble chassis and dialed-in suspension. The fun starts when the light turns green.

The blacked-out, liquid-cooled V-Twin engine is built to conquer the hot and heavy traffic of urban streets. You can count on smooth response to the progressive throttle when you want to get through any hole that opens in front of you.

The sophisticated, factory-installed ABS gives you confidence in the saddle. Knowing your bike’s going to behave when you need it.

Lifting the bike up off the side stand is easy, thanks to its low weight and low center of gravity. It makes pulling out from the curb feel as effortless as putting your thumb to the starter button.

The seat height is just 28-inches. And the frame and seat are narrow, which makes for an even easier reach. The advantages of a low seat also shine when the light turns green. It gives you a low center of gravity for confidence when you’re negotiating traffic or just slowly rolling through a parking lot looking for a spot.

This dark, aggressive, and custom look sports an all-black two-into-one exhaust, black cast aluminum wheels, blacked-out front end with a café inspired speed screen. Special to the bike is a chrome medallion made of steel on the fuel tank.

This is the bike that will take you places. Ride a Harley-Davidson Street® Today.

Riding a Harley-Davidson® Reduces Stress

Riding a Harley-Davidson® improves focus and decreases stress. According to a new neurobiological study. Of course, riders have known this all along. Wind in your face and worries left behind is only found on a motorcycle.

Researchers recorded participants’ brain activity and hormone levels before, during, and after motorcycling, driving a car, and resting. While riding a motorcycle, participants experienced increased sensory focus and resilience to distraction. Riding also produced an increase in adrenaline levels and heart rate, as well as a decrease in cortisol metrics – results often associated with light exercise and stress-reduction.

As stress levels rise, people are exploring ways to better their mental and physical health. Until recently the technology to measure the impact of these activities did not exist. “The brain is an amazingly complex organ and it’s fascinating to rigorously investigate the physical and mental effects riders report.” Said Dr. Don Vaughn, the neuroscientist who led the research team.

Motorcyclists have long championed riding as their main road to stress relief and positive mental health. Now it has been documented and proven!
