Visitors took a demonstration ride through a mixture of urban and rural local routes, escorted by one of harleys professional instructors.
Harley-Davidson’s VRSC family of motorcycles has been critically acclaimed since its launch in 2001, winning awards world-wide for its revolutionary design.
Stars across the globe, including David Beckham and F1 ace Michael Schumacher, have also made this Harley-Davidson their motorcycle of choice.
At this year’s show visitors experienced the stunning 2008 model year V-Rod and mean all blacked out Night Rod Special models with the new 1250cc 123hp liquid-cooled, 60-degree Revolution V-Twin engine, Brembo ABS brakes, Slipper clutch, and 240mm Rear Tyres for huge attitude. These beautiful machines can reach 0-60 in approximately 3.4 seconds, yet always turn heads regardless of speed.
This year, Buell motorcycles brought a range of 2008 motorcycles from the agile 998cc XB9SX Lightning £6,495 (otr) through to the versatile and capable XB12X Ulysses £8,195 (otr). There was something for everyone, including the extra- low seat height Lightning XB12Scg £7,745.
All Buell motorcycles encompass the ‘trilogy of technology’ the three engineering concepts which create a complete and involving riding experience. 1: Mass Centralisation - keeps weight in the middle of the bike and low down. 2: Low unsprung weight – Allows the wheels and relevant components to be as light as possible, allowing the rider to feel the road. 3: Chassis Rigidity – All Buells use a strong central frame which also acts as the fuel reservoir, and allows a chassis with unrivalled stiffness.
For Model Year 2008, all Buell motorcycles feature a new fuel injection system, new colour schemes and heated grip wiring included.
