The 2010 Harley-Davidson Road Glide Custom Review
July 27th, 2010 | 
Author: For the 2009 model year, H-D transformed its venerable FLH line of touring bikes into vastly improved machines, thanks mostly to a much stiffer frame. Too bad that a slumping economy will cut into sales of the ’09 models.
However, this is still a huge market, and The Motor Company has already made a few tweaks to some of its popular touring models for 2010. We rode them around magnificent Colorado to find out how they work. Stay tuned also for a quick ride review of the new Electra Glide Ultra Limited luxury-tourer.As we learned from data shown to us at the Star Stratoliner Deluxe unveiling, the “casual full-dress” segment of touring cruisers is enjoying ever-increasing popularity, and this is largely due to Harley’s Street Glide and Road Glide. Both baggers are updated for 2010 and share a retail price of $18.999.

2010 MV Agusta 990R/1090RR – Brute Force
First Ride
This feels awfully familiar. Disembarking from my plane in Italy I know I’ve done this all before. The small group of American journalists were to be carted off from their hotel near Borgo Panigale-Troy Bayliss’ second home-to the Misano Adriatico circuit to ride one of the latest offerings from one of the land’s famous manufacturers. So far this feels like déjà vu. In fact, when we arrived at the track the vibe felt much the same. These bikes had trellis frames, were beautifully designed…and were red.
But this wasn’t a Ducati.
