Harley Davidson FLSTSB Softail Cross Bones (2009)

If riding a Harley-Davidson motorcycle is a timeless experience, then the new FLSTSB Softail Cross Bones almost makes the clock stand still. The dark Cross Bones cuts the profile of an authentic custom bobber, a stripped-down-and-chopped custom with raw finishes. Cross Bones leads with the Gloss Black Springer front end and follows with other post-war styling cues, including a Gloss-Black round air cleaner cover, sprung solo seat, half-moon rider footboards and chopped front fender. The adjustable two-position pan-style saddle rides at a height of 26.6 inches. The rider rolls arm-high gripping Gloss Black mini ape hanger handlebars. The Gloss Black oil tank features a new Willie G.-autographed skull graphic. The bright chrome straight shot exhaust with chrome slash-cut mufflers contrasts with the dark frame and powertrain.

Kawasaki ZZR 1200 (2004) Review and Specifications.

- This bike is fast by any standard with breathtaking acceleration.
- It handles very well, and feels solidly planted all the time. It is a very stable bike.
- The bike looks great. One of the better styling jobs by Kawasaki.
- The acceleration is linear, and the engine doesn't need to be revved that high to get this bike moving.
- You can cruise at 90+ all day long on this bike, and it's not even breaking a sweat.
- The wind protection is very good.
- The braking is very good.
- Reliability is excellent.
- This is a sport tourer, however the emphasis is on the sport side.
- I've put about 20,000 miles on it, and I'm still very happy with it.
- Depending on you size, age, health etc. it will be comfortable or not.
- The stock seat is horrible for long rides.
- There is one known problem that many of these bikes had, and that is the cam lobes pit severely. Some owners have replaced the cams, others continued to ride without replacing them with no apparent failures or other ill affects.
- The bike is rather heavy and has a sizable wheel base.
- Gas mileage is typically around 42 MPG, assuming you're reasonably gentle with the throttle.

KAWASAKI ZZR 600 Motorcycle,
general information, review and specifications


KAWASAKI ZZR 600 (2004)
- The most popular category of sportbike in America is the 600cc class, thanks to the light weight, nimble handling and ever-improving power-to-weight ratio of these modern machines. And for those who want all these performance attributes in a sport touring motorcycle at a great price, nothing beats the Kawasaki ZZR®600 for power, handling and comfort -


Click Thumbnail to download (size 1600 x 1200 pixels)


The ZZR600 is powered by a compact 599cc liquid-cooled four-cylinder engine similar to the high-performance ZX-6R powerplant. Dual overhead cams actuate four extra-light valves per cylinder, and Kawasaki Straight-Shot ports combine with narrow valve systems to provide free-flowing intake for quick throttle response.

Intake efficiency is further enhanced by the Kawasaki Twin Ram Air Induction system. Scoops at the front of the fairing supply cool air directly to the airbox, and at highway speeds this becomes pressurized to help pack more fuel mixture from the 36mm Keihin carburetors into the cylinders. A digital ignition system ignites the mixture as its microprocessor-controlled timing is ultra-responsive to engine speed and the system never needs adjustment. Burned gasses exit the engine through twin mufflers for smooth power throughout the rev range.

Harley Davidson FLTR Road Glide (2009)

The 2009 Harley-Davidson Road Glide incorporates technological improvements while retaining the classic look Harley riders want.

The 2009 Harley-Davidson Touring lineup is new from the ground up. The Dunlop D407 Multi-tread tires are a perfect match for the new black 28 spoke cast aluminum wheels. The new frame and swingarm provide a solid base for the new components and provide greater carrying capacity.

2009 FLTR Road Glide features

- New 2-1-2 exhaust system
- New engine isolation system
- New Isolated Drive System
- New 28-spoke cast aluminum wheels, 17" front and 16" rear
- New Dunlop 407 tires, 130/80-17 front and 180/65-16 rear
- ABS brakes
- 40-watt Harman/Kardon audio system with CD/AM/FM/WB/MP3

Riding Impressions

I don't ride much during rainy season, so I had some concerns about the weather before starting our ride. All such concerns soon faded away—I found the 2009 Harley-Davidson FLTR Road Glide to be stable and confidence inspiring even when riding in heavy rain and windy conditions.

The wide fixed fairing provides excellent protection from the elements. My gloves and leather jacket stayed relatively dry considering the heavy rain we encountered on San Marco Pass. I noticed very minor buffeting at high freeway speeds, not surprising given the greater distance to the tall windscreen (located farther from the rider than the fork-mounted fairings on the other models). The one-piece, two-up Road Glide Classic seat allowed me to adjust my seating position during the ride, ensuring all-day comfort.

It's hard to believe the the Road Glide weighs 820 pounds while at speed. The handlebars and grip position, combined with well-placed and easy to use controls create a natural and comfortable riding position. Steering effort is light, consistent and precise, no doubt enhanced by the Road Glide’s frame-mounted fairing.

The tires have excellent grip and at times it felt more like riding a sport-tourer. 4-piston Brembo calipers, 300mm rotors (dual front and single rear) are well matched to the Road Glide's bulk. The front and rear brakes are easy to control. I was completely at ease with the balanced handling and strong brakes.

Ground clearance on the winding back roads was never an issue even when riding at a spirited "touring" pace. This sport-bike rider enjoyed riding the 2009 Road Glide even when pushing the limits.

No doubt about it, the 2009 Harley-Davidson FLTR Road Glide is up to the challenge of all-weather long-distance touring.

MSRP: Black $18,599, Color $19,049. Options included on test bike: ABS ($795) and California Emissions ($200).

Harley Davidson Tri Glide Ultra Classic (2009)

One of the more popular customizations done to Harley Davidson motorcycles throughout the years, aside from pipes and jets, has always been the trike upgrade. More than the single most visually striking modification one can make to a Harley Davidson, a three-wheel modification provides stability, cargo space, and lots of capability. Gravel roads are no longer fear-inducing, pulling a trailer less prone to shimmying all over the road in a cross breeze, not to mention the ability to put all the Harley Tri Glide's power to the road for a shotgun start. The 2009 Harley Davidson Tri Glide Ultra Classic incorporates everything good about a Harley Trike, in a package that comes ready to ride right off the showroom floor. Based on the 2009 Harley Davidson Electra Glide Classic, Harley-Davidson's top-of-the-line tourer, the Harley Davidson Tri Glide Ultra Classic features 6.56 cubic feet of luggage volume, the best passenger seating on the market today, and a Harman/Kardon audio system. The 2009 Harley Davidson Tri Glide Ultra Classic has an available electric reverse gear, but riders won't want to do without it, as the Harley Tri Glide has a curb weight of 1,140 lbs. Life will just be a whole lot better if you suck it up and pony up for that reverse gear.

Motorcycle Insurance is similar to auto insurance coverage. It requires liability coverage, but collision coverage, medical payment coverage and equipment coverage are good choices for you.

There are many types of "motorcycles" - from practical scooters to high-performance sport bikes. We can find the companies and the policies that make sure you and your bike are covered fully.

Once you identify the coverage, we will shop for the most affordable policies.

Discount rate for high risk coverage.
Sunset Plaza will find you a discount rate as our agents have vast experience helping high risk customers because of their past record of DUI, SR22, major accident, and many tickets.

Personalized customer service
We have exceptional agents who periodically re-shop for you during cycles of your policy and at renewals to ensure that you are still receiving the best combination of price and protection for your dollar.
