The CVO people are providing you with two ways to cover the big miles, the more essential Road King and the everything-but-the-Kegerator Ultra Classic Electra Glide. To help you cover those miles, they both include 6-gallon fuel tanks. As mentioned, both of these bikes come with the new H-D ABS for your emergency stopping needs.
With a 115 ft.-lbs. of torque at a mere 3000 rpm, plus a windscreen, the Road King is designed to gobble up the miles with ease. The bike includes comfortably shaped handlebars, floorboards and a. windscreen. Not enough? How about a new electronic throttle control, custom leather seats, backrests and saddlebags, and a pile of Ironside collections chrome parts and Road Winder forged Aluminum wheels? Yeah, we like it, too. $29,290 gets you in the saddle, with the usual $100 ding for California buyers.
New features on the Ultra for '08 include the Ultra King Tour Pak top box and passenger backrest, complete with a chrome luggage rack. If you can't decide what to listen to or whether to yak away, the Harman-Kardon audio system includes CD, AM/FM, WB, MP3 input, CB, intercom (with separate passenger audio controls), XM radio and integrated GPS. Not enough electronics? There's also an electronic throttle control. Hauling down this bike in a hurry are Brembo brakes front and rear, with front floating rotors, along with the aforementioned ABS should the need arise. This cushy cross-country capability will set you back $34,995, with an extra $100 fee for Golden State riders.
