Harley-Davidson, Inc. introduced its Model Year 2004 motorcycle line-up as it kicked off its four-day 100th Anniversary celebration in Milwaukee. Key new models include a completely redesigned XL Sportster family and a new VRSCB V-Rod power cruiser, which complements the VRSCA V-Rod. These exciting new models began shipping to dealers in September, 2003.
New Road King Custom and restyled Road Glide bring new style to the Harley-Davidson Touring line.
Custom Vehicle Operations (CVO) adds a new motorcycle to its roster: the Screamin' Eagle Electra Glide, and offers the Screamin' Eagle Deuce in two brand new custom colors in its second year.
Harley-Davidson's 2004 motorcycle models demonstrate the Company's continued commitment to styling, product innovation and the riding experience. For 2004, the Company is offering 20 different color schemes, including solid colors and two-tones, after offering a limited range of color options during the 100th Anniversary model year.
Harley-Davidson also announced that all 2004 motorcycles will be covered by a two-year warranty. In addition, most service intervals have been extended from 2,500 miles to 5,000 miles.
Average suggested retail prices for 2004 Harley-Davidson motorcycles have been reduced when compared with similar 2003 motorcycles. The 2004 model prices are lower by less than one percent. The new pricing reflects the removal of 100th Anniversary content on the 2003 model year motorcycles. Information on 2004 model year suggested retail pricing is available at www.harley-davidson.com or from local Harley-Davidson dealers.
