Have You Seen Harley Davidson’s 2016 Models?

Harley also introduced two new Softails and some upgrades on their Sportsters.

Upgrades: Sportster Forty-Eight and the Street 750. Both $450 more with the new wheels and suspension.

“Riders have long since complained about the lack of suspension with Harley. Here’s our answer,” said Ben McGinley, Harley-Davidson’s Designer/Stylist and the man behind the design of the new Forty-Eight, about the new heavy-duty suspension on Harley’s flashy Sporty.

So? Gigantic 43mm front forks.

Also, the Forty-Eight has cast wheels over the spokes in previous models, losing a total of eight pounds in rotating mass.

The front end might have a heavier feel to it now. The turning radius is comfortable because of the lack of rake.

If you’re a biker then you’ll definitely be wanting to take this out for a ride and test its limits.

The bikes do look amazing but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t drive them safely.

The Street 750: “It’s for the new rider, also those new to the brand, but it’s also a bike built for the global market,” said a Harley rep.

The 2016 Harley Sportster retails for $11,199 and the 2016 Harley-Davidson Iron 883 retails for $8,849.

There’s also a new model: The 2016 Harley-Davidson SuperLow 1200T (starts at $ 13,799)

One warm review states: “If ever a motorcycle could turn a trip to the corner store into a cross-country trek, the SuperLow® 1200T model is the one. You’ve got a light, nimble frame for easy handling. Detachable windshield and lockable saddlebags for the open road. A new seat for all-day comfort. And a low center of gravity coupled with an all-new suspension that lets you eat tight city traffic and twisting miles of highway with equal ease. Fire it up. See where it takes you.”
