Harley-Davidson recently revealed six new models for 2006 and a host of styling and engineering updates.
The Dyna family of performance custom motorcycles has been re-tooled for 2006 and incorporates a new six-speed Cruise Drive transmission and two new models: the minimalist FXDBI Street Bob and a limited-production FXDI 35th Anniversary Super Glide.
Also new: The VRSC family gets two new models, the VRSCR Street Rod roadster and the VRSCD Night Rod; the Touring family gets the new FLHX/I Street Glide, an “undressed” dresser; and the Softail line features the reintroduction of the FLST/I Heritage Softail.
Furthermore, the FXST/I Softail Standard, FXSTB/I Softail Night Train and FXSTS/I Springer Softail feature a 200mm rear tire; all six models in the XL Sportster family offer a new transmission and significantly reduced clutch effort; and Harley-Davidson will offer eight new paint colors and two-tone combinations for 2006.
Also, all radio-equipped 2006 model year Harley-Davidson motorcycles can be outfitted with an integrated Harman/Kardon audio system, and the 2006 FLHTCUSE Screamin’ Eagle Ultra Classic Electra Glide is the first motorcycle to feature XM Satellite Radio.
The XM Radio is a standard feature on the Screamin’ Eagle Ultra’s Advanced Audio System by Harmon/Kardon. In addition, XM Satellite Radio can be added as an accessory feature to the Advanced Audio System found standard on Harley-Davidson’s 2006 FLHX, FLHTC, FLTR and FLHTCU models.
Each XM-equipped model will include three months of complimentary XM service.
