Harley-Davidson Launches New 2010 Motorcycle Lineup

Thursday, July 30th, 2009

Harley-Davidson has rolled out its revised line of motorcycles for 2010, and according to the Motor Company, the nine new models included in this year’s catalog represent the largest number of introductions in the company’s 106-year history. There aren’t any new platforms for 2010, so expect to see small, incremental changes and improvements across the board in lieu of anything particularly radical.

A few of the highlights include four new models from Harley-Davidson’s Custom Vehicle Operations group: CVO Fat Bob, CVO Softail Convertible, CVO Street Glide and CVO Ultra Classic Electra Glide. As you would expect from Harley’s upper-crust division, prices for these top-end models range from $25,299 to $35,999. At the other end of the spectrum, HD also points out it has a total of five models priced under $10K. Naturally, there’s plenty in between those opposing price brackets for fans of the good ‘ol American V-Twin to choose from.
