Intermot 2008: The most important news of the motorcycle fair
Despite weak purchase pulses at the motorcycle market, the large machines are still popular with the audience. Because to drive such a bike once, of which almost all dream. Therefore, the new Harley-Davidson V-Rod Muscle is already one of the favorites. A tight-cut fender, deep-seated air necklines on the airbox, a lowered fit and pre-laminated footrests borders the US American woman from her sister models V-Rod and Night Rod Special. For the drive, the well-known 1 246 CCM Revolution engine provides 90 kW / 123 hp power. The standard equipment includes ABS, immobilizer and alarm system. The price list starts in Germany at around 18 500 euros.
Furthermore, the American traditional recovery shows innovations, especially the Touring family with the Road King, the Electra Glide models and the Street Glide. To see is also the basic Dyna Street Bob and the Heritage Softail Classic. In the future, Dyna Street Bob is waiting for newly designed short silencers, a deeper seat, a shortened tailfinder with Old School Taillight and with black rims.

Partially, the brake system, the seat and the chassis components have been revised. Optically, all Lightning models are more aggressive than before.

SUZUKI wraps completely in silence again, but at least shows the next generation of the GSX-R 1000 with a newly designed engine. About ABS does not have the super athletes yet. For this innovation, Honda ensures CBR 1000 RR Fireblade and the CBR 600 RR. Both racers are represented with a new electronically controlled ABS composite brake system.
