The score calls for four-part harmony, and its text praises Harley Style, Harley Tra- dition and Harley Reliability. That, at least, seems to be the popu- lar view, and actually spending time aboard a Harley-Davidson-one like this FLHTCU Anniversary model, for instance-does little to diminish those expectations. The Harley Hymn is an easy one to grow to like. For starters, there is a full chorus of happy owners singing it, so if you decide to pick up the tune, you won’t be singing solo. Also, there are good things to sing about. The bikes are solid and reli- able, their build quality is quite good, and the finish ap- plied is excellent. All of this is true of the bike you see on these pages, a gor- geous gray-on-silver, top-of- the-line touring rig-a dresser, in Harley-speak. This is one of Harley’s six 90th Anniver- sary models, bearing anniver- sary paint, cloisonne tank badges, and a suggested retail price of SI6,099. The same bike, but in a solid color and without the anniversary em- blems, sells for $ 15,349. In spite of its breathtaking price, this new Harley is just like the old Harleys-which is to say, familiar as always, different only in detail. The fundamentals remain unchanged: The 1340cc, 45-degree, air-cooled V- Twin, the non-unitized, five-speed transmission, the twin-shock, back- bone frame, the cast-alloy, 16-inch wheels. As always, the engine sup- plies solid, if not startling, motive force. It’ll pull steady-state speeds on level ground forever, but if you’re looking for something with which to make blitz-like uphill passes while hauling a passenger and luggage, this isn’t the engine. Sharp-eyed readers will spot two changes for ’93: the saddlebag lid locks, and the clutch and front-brake levers. The saddlebag lids themselves are essentially the same as before; but now, instead of being completely re- movable from their respective bags, they’re held in place by a sort of dou- ble-articulated locking hinge. It’s a clumsy system until you leam its mannerisms. Harley claims 15 percent increased saddlebag capacity-mostly due to a relocation of the battery, which formerly intruded into the right bag’s space and is now located under the seat-but we wonder why the bags weren’t made even bigger at redesign time. The saddlebags remain thin enough that serious packing is accom- plished only with the foreknowledge that any clothing so packed will be wrinkled, and that a traveling steam iron had better be part of the en- tourage. At least the cavernous, side- opening tour trunk remains, maybe the best piece of hard luggage in all of luxo-touring. Kudos all around to the designers of Harley’s new “blade-type” clutch and brake levers. These have a more acute dog-leg in them, and are very nicely contoured to fit the hand. A good deal... And much more! 12129 RL- 12130
