Harley Davidson has a reputation for building some of the most disctinctive and storied motorcycles of our time. The brand evokes images of freedom on the open road, camraderie and individuality. Harley's 2009 line up offers a combination of classic style, high-end design and performance that project a sense of history and expertly engineered evolution. The asthetics of Harley's new V-Rod Muscle are as much hip-hop as they are rock & roll. The V-Rod Muscle boasts a powerfully sculpted physique that gives off a contemporary sense of style. It's the type of bike that looks as home on the set of a music video as as it does on the street.
The bike’s long, low profile and super-wide rear tire summon the race track while the free-revving performance of the liquid-cooled 1250cc Revolution V-Twin engine co-developed with Porsche give it the sophistication and response performance-minded riders are looking for. “Muscle stands out in a crowd of copies and generic motorcycle profiles,” said Mark-Hans Richer, senior vice president and chief marketing officer for Harley-Davidson. “It stretches the very definition of what it means to be a Harley-Davidson motorcycle.” Other elements that give Muscle its urban, contemporary look include a new stylish instrument panel, chopped and sculpted tail section, a new deep seat, LED turn signals integrated into the mirror stems, trimmed front fender that’s blacked out behind satin-finished inverted forks and a meaty double barrel exhaust.

The Fat Bob is a part of the Harley-Davidson Dyna family. The new model stay faithful to the formula established by the early factory customs produced by Harley Davidson in the 1970s, bikes that combined Big
Twin power with the style of the lighter FX front end. Over the years, the Dyna line has established a reputation for great handling and exhilarating performance.
All Dyna models are powered by a 1584 cc Twin Cam 96 powertrain with Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI) mated to the 6-Speed Cruise Drive transmission. In the Dyna platform, the Twin Cam 96 pounds out 91 ft.-lbs. of torque at 3000 rpm. Shared Dyna characteristics include the under-seat battery box, exposed rear shock absorbers, and a classic Fat Bob fuel tank with console.
New on Dyna: • Braided Brake Lines: Braided stainless steel brake lines enhance both the style and brake feel on all 2008 Dyna models.
