The new Harley-Davidson (H-D)
distributor, Didi Resources, has released the 2018 Malaysia pricing for the
entire range of H-D models. For 2018, H-D has three primary model groups –
Touring, Softail and Sportster, with four models making up the Custom Vehicle
Operations (CVO) range.
Special H-D models as are the Police and Trike
machines, with the made in India Street 750 and Street Rod rounding up the
stable as the entry-level into the H-D lifestyle. Within the line up of the
“proper” H-D motorcycles, there are also several anniversary models,
celebrating 115 years of the American motorcycle.
Of note is H-D’s new power plant, the Milwaukee 8
V-twin, which comes in three displacements, the 107, which equals 1,750 cc, a
114, displacing 1,870 cc and a 117, coming in at 1,919 cc. All have two spark
plugs and four-valves per cylinder, push-rod actuated and the 114 and 117
Milwaukee 8s come with oil- and liquid-cooled heads.
Coming in at a low price of RM 56,710 – for a Harley
V-twin – is the 2018 Harley-Davidson Street 750 in Vivid Black. As earlier
stated, the Street 750 is the base, entry-level model H-D bike, and is targeted
