HARLEY DAVIDSON

Founded in 1903, the Harley-Davidson Motor Company was among the original companies building and selling motorcycles to racers and other thrill seekers. Among a crowded field of starters, it had the distinction of being the only motorcycle company to survive the next 80 years, and thus it came by its legendary status honestly. During the late 1970s, however, the company was troubled by a reputation for poor quality, lagging innovation, and serious competition from abroad, most notably from Japanese manufacturers. During an unfortunate period of ownership by AMF Corporation, the company even produced Harley-Davidson golf carts. Finally, after a group of investors bought the company back, it began a remarkable turnaround. In 1979 the company hired the Minneapolis ad agency Carmichael Lynch Spong to help reverse some of the negative perceptions that were plaguing it. Jud Smith, group creative director of the agency team that worked on the account at the time, said in an Adweek article, ‘‘The image was that it [the motorcycle] was owned by dirtballs and decidedly uncool.’’ Although Harleys were seen as distinctively designed, honest machines, many of the competitors were offering more user-friendly motorcycles, especially for less-experienced riders. Easier to maintain, some of the other bikes were even faster than the legendary Harley. Still, Harley-Davidson had developed a near fanatical following of riders whose deep emotional attachment to their bikes had already crept into American culture. Harley ‘‘Hogs’’ were perceived as simple but tough and as embodying the rebellious facet of the national character.
By 1984 Harley-Davidson had turned an important corner under its new management, introducing a new line of bikes while significantly improving quality. The advertising began to communicate the changes, and at the same time it drew upon the passion the motorcycle inspired in its core riders with themes like ‘‘Things are different on a Harley’’ and ‘‘Harley through and through.’’ The advertising even broke with its rule of always making the bike the hero of the ad by employing high-profile—and highly passionate—Harley riders like Malcolm Forbes, Jay Leno, and Mickey Rourke, who agreed to do the ads for a dollar if it would help their favorite motorcycle company. By the 1990s an improved product and savvy marketing had turned Harley-Davidson from the motorcycle of ‘‘dirtballs’’ to the choice of free-spirited American individualists. Along with them came a legion of consumers who wanted to own part of a legend and could afford to pay as much for a bike as most people paid for a car. Despite the long waiting period, sales edged ever upward.

moto girls: Marisa Miller and Harley-Davidson VRSCF V-Rod Muscle

Last year, Marisa Miller, American admired designers and one of the В«angelsВ» VictoriaвЂ™s Secret, alternate in the attack motorcycle Harley-Davidson VRSCF V-Rod Muscle.# BMW S1000RR in Playboy

# 2009 Aprilia RSV4 Factory and admirable apprentice Klara

# Adult girls and Honda Sportbike

# The best girls of 2010 Motor Bike Expo

# Admirable and adult moto girls at EICMA 2009

The Muscle is primarily a administration exercise. Rather than the added angled shapes of the added вЂ�Rods, this new guy adopts hardly added angular shapes, abnormally in the faux ammunition tank/air-box cover, advanced ancillary air-intake covers and squared-off low and adequate saddle with a rear abutment advised to authority the addition in abode during able bursts of dispatch on tap from the aforementioned super-smooth 60-degree liquid-cooled DOHC, eight-valve, Revolution 1250cc V-Twin that admiral all вЂ™Rods. The Muscle comes in a 121 hp/85 ft-lbs flavor.

Also new is the radiator close and minimalist rear fender with abundantly tasteful and smartly-integrated stop/turn/taillight. The added one gets from the rear of this bike, the thinner the fender looks, yet assurance isnвЂ™t impacted acknowledgment to the powerfully-bright LED lighting. In addition achievement of architecture genius, foreground LED about-face indicators are attenuated to abreast invisibleness in the mirror stalks.

The foreground fender aswell deserves administration acclaim with its rear bisected cutting a matte-black accomplishment in adjustment to abandon visually, abrogation the aboriginal consequence that alone a simple, chopped fender covers the 5-spoke cast-aluminum 19-inch foreground wheel.

The mirrors themselves, forth with the compact angular bars, internally-wired casting bar riser and simple amateur gauges with sportbike-gauge-inspired looks all add to the block oвЂ™ batten actualization of the bike.

Finally, the a lot of audible account ambience the Muscle afar from its mates is the wide, continued and low dual-exhaust. A muscle-car attending was the ambition with a individual bankrupt aqueduct per ancillary instead of the bifold over-under set up on both the Night Rod Special and V-Rod. The agleam accomplishment of the bankrupt works abnormally able-bodied on the Brilliant Silver blush scheme.
