2016 Harley-Davidson Roadster 1200 CX,
Softail Slim S, CVO Pro Street
Harley-Davidson seems to be moving away
from the traditional image of the chrome-laden cruiser, and producing a machine
in the traditional American iron style that is designed to appeal to the
younger, more urban, rider. After launching the Dark Series Iron 883 and
Forty-Eight earlier this year, Harley-Davidson Kuala Lumpur has launched the
2016 Roadster 1200 CX, Softail Slim S, and CVO Pro Street Breakout at
RM 110,000, RM 160,000 and RM 210,000, respectively.
The smallest of the newly launched
cruisers is the Roadster 1200 CX, at RM110,000. Sporting a 1,200 cc air-cooled
Evolution V-twin that puts out 103 Nm at 3,750 rpm, the 2016 Roadster weighs in
at 249 kg, and comes in four colours – Velocity Red Sunglo, Billet Silver,
Black Denim and Vivid Black.
Next in the line-up is the RM160,000
Softail Slim S, which comes with a Screamin’ Eagle twin-cam 110B air-cooled
V-twin that displaces 1,801 cc, and makes 145 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm. Coming
in at 308 kg, and a low-slung 650 mm seat height, the 2016 Softail Slim S has
two colour options, Olive Gold Denim and Vivid Black.
At the top of the heap is the CVO Pro
Street Breakout at RM 210,000 – CVO standing for Harley’s Custom Vehicle Operations
motorcycle department. Using the same 1,801 cc Screamin’ Eagle V-twin as the
Slim S, the Breakout gets 151 Nm of torque at 3,500 rpm from its mill. Owners
can choose between two two-tone paint schemes, Starfire Black/Starfire Black
and White Gold Pearl/Starfire Black.
During the launch, Eskandar Esa,
associate vice-president of Naza Prestige Bikes said, “Harley-Davidson is
committed to providing an uncompromised level of quality service to all its
customers, we have a team of highly competent and specially trained personnel.”
