Harley-Davidson & Playboy 2009 pics

Harley Davidson and Playboy have teamed up for a competition, with an evening of Playboy bunnies and Harley motorcycles in one of Milan’s fashionable spots.

To win and be part of this evening seems almost too simple, but basically you have to have a motorcycle licence, be more than 21 years of age and live in Italy, and register yourself on the www.anightwith.it site.

There will be a kind of lucky dip that gives two winners a red carpet evening out on June 29, with a ride on a high performance Harley VRSC and the chance to meet Italy’s Playmates of the moment.

Two centrefolds will accompany the winners throughout the course of the evening, with photographers capturing the moment for a Playboy magazine feature. For a taste of what the evening offers, see the gallery after the jump.

Flathead engines

• Flathead engines - Manufactured between 1929 and 1974. Flatheads did not have overhead valves. Instead, the valves ran alongside the engine and opened upwards into a chamber beside the combustion chamber. The advantage of a flathead was simplicity -- no pushrods or rocker arms, and the head was a simple casting with a hole in it for the spark plug. A typical flathead engine had a displacement of 45 cubic inches (742 cc) and produced about 22 horsepower.

Basic design of a flathead engine.

2009 Sportster XR1200 Harley Davidson

New Harley-Davidson 2009 Sportster XR1200 Picture Wallpaper

In the end of 2008, The Harley Davidson released motorcycle sportster platform in Europe which called as Harley-Davidson Sportster XR1200. But it didn't take Harley long to mend its ways and announce the release of the XR1200 in the U.S at early 2009, the company is banking on the enthusiasm of the hardcore nostalgic motorcycle fans.

The Harley-Davidson Sportster XR1200, listed with an MSRP of $11,179, wears a brawny 90 horsepower, air-cooled V-twin, beefy brakes, and a dry weight of 551 lbs. Many costumer has said that the Sportsters, for the most part, don't quite convey as much bravado as a Dyna or Road Glide.


The 2009 Harley-Davidson Sportster XR1200 injects some steroids into the lineup with a more powerful engine and aggressive suspension setup. Starting with the traditional air-cooled pushrod 1,200 cc V-twin, Harley has bumped the compression ratio to 10:1, added performance cams, precision-cooled cylinder heads, a large capacity oil cooler and downdraft electronic fuel injection.


The combination of quality rubber, lightened rolling inertia courtesy the wheels, 59-inch wheelbase and stout fork, the Harley-Davidson Sportster XR1200 turns in easily and stays on target all the way through your chosen corner arc with stability and confidence. The Harley-Davidson Sportster XR1200 available in three colors :


Actually, the Harley-Davidson Sportster XR 1200 is based on race-winning XR 750 dirt trackers that were popularized, ironically, on U.S. soil. It's designed to fit the average height European customer, but we can't help but wonder if this market-specific model would ever be modified for sale in North America.

The XR1200's Nissin brakes are significantly upgraded from standard-issue Sportsters, with four-piston 292 mm dual discs up front and a single-piston 260 mm disc at the rear. In running order, the Harley-Davidson Sportster XR 1200 tips the scales at 580 pounds. These brakes are nothing short of spectacular and should be grasped with caution should you take advantage of an XR 1200 demo ride and are expecting the usual Harley brake.


If you see the instruments on the Harley-Davidson Sportster XR 1200 are minimal. Watching the needle bounce around on the good-sized, round, white-faced tach is what you’ll mainly see. A compact digital speedo on Sportster XR 1200 body is centered next to it on the handlebars and the digital display makes it easy to know exactly how fast you’re going. A dual trip meter and clock have been thrown in for good measure.

Harley-Davidson FL Duo Glide Motor

Harley-Davidson FL Duo Glide Motor.................

The 1958 Harley-Davidson FL Duo-Glide motorcycle introduced a genuine rear suspension system, finally giving riders of the big Harleys smoother, modern ride.

Finally, after decades of relying only on a sprung saddle for "rear" suspension, the big Harleys adopted a swingarm with coil-over shocks in 1958. With that, the Hydra-Glide became the Duo-Glide, upping the ante in the touring market.

Two versions of the Big Twin continued to be offered: The milder, low-compression FL engine ran cooler and was easier to kick over than the hopped-up FLH, making it better suited to around-town driving.

Still sized at 1200 ccs/74 cubic inches, period Big Twins were advertised at 53-55 horsepower in the FL, 58-60 in the FLH.

Despite the new rear suspension, a sprung seatpost remained standard, providing what Harley termed "the Glide Ride." Of course, nearly 600 pounds worth of bump-flattening weight didn't hurt, either.

Harley-Davidson-VRSCD Motorcycle

Harley-Davidson-VRSCD Motorcycle.............

The latest addition to Harley-Davidson's VRSC family mates the low saddle height and raked-out frame of the V-Rod with the pumped-up 120-horsepower motor and exhaust system of the Street Rod roadster and then rolls in some detail touches all its own. The complete test is available in the October 2005 issue of Motorcycle Cruiser magazine. Here are some initial impressions from our first rides on the bike.

The Night Rod offers both mid-set rider pegs and highway pegs as well as that little fairing. To seal the deal, it asks less of your wallet than previous Harley Rod series motorcycles, although the entire VRSC series enjoys a $1000 price reduction this year.

Combine the V-Rod's solid handling, formidable performance and strong brakes (now Brembos), each of which ranks at or near the top of the range for performance cruisers, and you have an impressive motorcycle, one that will easily leave the those tubby mega twins reeling in its wake. It's even good-looking if our sample, which included the $495 chrome engine package, is any measure. In fact, it's the best-looking of the V-Rod series, and as well as the most affordable.

We like the way Harley has come at the power-cruiser concept. While other brands have been building ever-larger V-twins that owe much of their style to Harley, Milwaukee's own performance V-twin broke away, using a comparably meager 1130cc. Harley's "little" V-twin relies on efficiency rather than displacement, with liquid cooling, overhead cams, eight valves and the will to rev a bit. That approach yielded better than a horsepower per each 10cc. With the introduction of the Street Rode earlier this year, Harley extracted another handful of horsepower with a new exhaust system. Now that 120-hp engine has been coupled to the cruiser chassis to power the new Night Rod for a bit more punch. The October 2006 issue of Motorcycle Cruiser will have a cover test with the performance figures and additional depth on how the Night Rod works.

The new bike gets the V-Rod frame to hold the saddle height down to that bike's 27.1 inches. Most of the other chassis components were also donated by the V-Rod. The Night Rod uses the 3.7-gallon under-seat tank and has 4.0 inches of suspension travel at both ends. The steering head remains at the 34 degrees of the V-Rod, but Harley steepened the fork angle by two degrees to 36 degrees from the V-Rod's 38. This juggling actually gives the Night Rod the most front-wheel trail in the VRSC trio at 4.6 inches, though its steering is still considerably lighter and more precise than the average cruiser's. It also has a bit more suspension travel and control, slightly less weight, and more lean angle that cruiser normal, all of which make it handier on a winding road.
