2007 VRSC MOTORCYCLES PUSH THE POWER ENVELOPE

Two New Models, Styling Detail and Functional Technology Keep VRSC Flying High

MILWAUKEE (July 14, 2006) – The VRSC motorcycle family continues to make its own Harley-Davidson history in 2007 with the introduction of two powerful new models, a wide 240mm rear tire on three models, and a five-gallon fuel tank on all family models, along with significant styling and technological enhancements.

Adding new character to the VRSC family, the Night Rod Special is the sinister descendant of the V-Rod, while the VRSCX is a powerful limited-edition model celebrating the Harley-Davidson Screamin' Eagle/Vance & Hines NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle drag race team.

"Adding two new models along with major performance, functional and design upgrades across the VRSC family takes these motorcycles to an entirely new level of power and style," said Peter-Michael Keppler, Harley-Davidson Marketing Platform Director. "The VRSC family becomes even more versatile in response to valuable input from our customers and the marketplace."

Harley-Davidson VRSC motorcycles combine true custom styling with state-of-the-art performance technology. VRSC is distinctive Harley-Davidson with its liquid-cooled, 60-degree Revolution V-Twin engine and steel perimeter frame with hydroformed main rails. The VRSC line rides with the same competitive drive that has fueled the successful Vance & Hines/Screamin' Eagle NHRA Pro Stock Bike Drag team.

The Revolution V-Twin engine is rubber-mounted with a single counter-balancer with dual overhead cams, four-valve heads and five-speed transmission. Running to a 9000 rpm redline, the Revolution engine generates between 74 ft. lbs. to 86 ft. lbs. of torque and between 115 and 123 peak horsepower, depending on engine displacement and model. With Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI), an aluminum shell covers the large airbox, while twin vortex scoops draw air into the radiator shroud.

For 2007, all VRSC models are equipped with five-gallon fuel capacity and consistent ignition switch location, as well as high-performance Brembo brakes, instrument display with a clock and second trip meter, and new side stand with an easy-to-reach foot tab. Three models are now equipped with standard 240mm wide rear tires. The Harley-Davidson Smart Security System, featuring new hands-free fob and auto arming/disarming, is optional on all models. With two new models, the VRSC family now presents five exceptional motorcycles.
