Softail Heritage/Softail Series Fifteen years ago, Harley-Davidson created a new series of bikes by fusing traditional styling with features and power suited to modern times. Now for the first time, these bikes have been totally redesigned and are on display for all to see. Our approach for these machines was remarkably simple: "change nothing while making everything new." The result is the same basic styling with updated performance for th next century. The newly equipped TWIN-CAM 88B 1450 cc engine is Harley's first to be outfitted with a new twin counterbalancing system. Not only is the TWIN-CAM 88B a high-performance engine with outstanding power and torque, it's also completely free of uncomfortable engine vibrations. So Softail Series bikes now let you enjoy comfortable high-speed cruising too. It's improvements like these plus the fully re-designed chassis that demonstrate the extraordinary ride and excitement that Harley-Davidson bikes offer for the 21st century. While you're at this part of the exhibit, don't miss the Softail Deuce - a brand new model being displayed in Japan for the very first time. You can also check out six other popular models, including such traditional and stately machines as the Heritage Softail Classic. FXSTD Softail Deuce: (shown in Japan for the first time) Here's a brand new American cruiser for a brand new century. It combines traditional styling and sharp polish for a look that radiates the future.

And matching the unique and original styling is a TWIN-CAM 88B 1450 cc OHV engine that guarantees true riding thrills. Electra Glide Series Electra Glide Series cycles are noble and refined touring machines backed by history and tradition.
