The photo showed part of the
aircrew posing in front of one of
their Apache attack helicopters
holding their JCR Honda posters featuring Kamo. The soldiers
also emblazoned the aircraft with
Kamo's name.
Unfortunately, Kamo was un-
able to attend the Idaho EnduroCross as he was prerunning
for the upcoming Baja 1000, but
Kamo's mother, Kit, was on hand
to accept the gifts.
HARLEY GOES YOUNG
S
ome three months after introducing its Project Rushmore
Harley-Davidsons to the world,
Harley has revealed two motorcycles today at the EICMA Show in
Milan, Italy, designed for "young
urban riders around the world" –
the Street 750 and Street 500,
the first all-new platform from Harley-Davidson in 13 years.
The newest in the Dark Custom lineup feature all-new liquidcooled Revolution X powertrains,
nimble agility "and the sound and
look that lets everyone know they
are genuine Harley-Davidson."
"These are the newest motorcycles to join our Dark Custom
lineup, which helped make us
the number-one selling brand
to young adults in the U.S. for
the past five years," said Matt
Levatich, President and Chief
Operating Officer, Harley-Davidson Motor Company. "Both
the Street 750 and Street 500
were designed with thousands of
hours of input from young adults
in cities around the world. This
input guided both the attitude
and capabilities of these motorcycles. They are proof that being
customer-led continues to be a
core driver of our product devel-
opment process."
The Revolution X engine will
be housed in a new chassis built
for agility, with a super-low seat
height, new suspension and
broad handlebar sweep. Both
bikes are minimalist in design to
allow the owners to customize.
"These new bikes are leaner,
yet still have a mean streak –
they're the real deal, made of real
steel," said Mark-Hans Richer,
Senior Vice President and Chief
Marketing Officer, Harley-Davidson Motor Company. "They're
designed to handle the abuses
of urban environments and provide authentic opportunities to
customize."
The Harley-Davidson Street
750 and Street 500 will be rolling into dealerships in select
markets starting in 2014, according to Harley.
