cific—and enticing. "You
are invited to Marbella, Spain,
to view, ride and understand

Street Rod. You will be able to
ride the new model in urban
and country locations for a full
day, including along two of the
routes widely recognized as
being amongst the most enjoy-
able and demanding biking
roads in Europe. You will ride
along the twisting A366 tarmac
rollercoaster via El Burgo to the
historic city of Ronda, spec-
tacularly located in the moun-
tains above Marbella. You will
then descend back to Marbella
along the legendary A397—a
sinuous length of challenging
road steeped in automotive and
motorcycling history." There

it. So, that must make this new
Street Rod a Harley that han-

$8695 in the USA and is made
in India at Harley's Haryana
