NEXT weekend will see two new Harley-Davidsons unveiled in Irish showrooms.The new additions to the line-up - a new Sportster Seventy Two and a Softail Slim - were revealed by the Harley-Davidson in the States on Thursday.The new Seventy Two, priced from €12,345 on the road, is based on the Sportster XL1200 series, but is styled with a respectful nod to bygone days, with Hard Candy Big Red Flake paint, ape-style handlebars and its narrow whitewall tyres.
Jeff Murphy, dealer principal for Harley-Davidson Dublin, said: "This is going to be a really exciting weekend for us.Today was our first look at the new bikes and they're stunning - we're sure they're going to be hugely popular with new and existing customers. Our open weekend is one of the biggest events on the calendar and it will be a fantastic opportunity to get visitors' opinions."
