| Harley-Davidson celebrates
their 100th Anniversary in 2003 and to commemorate the milestone each new
2003 Harley will feature a medallion insert on the engine. A 100th
Anniversary nameplate is also affixed to all models while special
detailing and colours to help make the 2003 models that extra bit special. The most notable 100th Anniversary identification is included on models with the Two-Tone Sterling Silver and Vivid Black paint combination with Anniversary decal striping. All models in this livery feature a two-piece 100th Anniversary bright chrome tank emblem with a gold Bar & Shield; an Anniversary logo embossed seat; 100th detailing on the derby, air cleaner and timing covers; and a 100th Anniversary nameplate. Anniversary gold cast wheels also available on some two-tone models and all will have the 100th Anniversary engine medallion insert. A second variation of 100th Anniversary identification is available on models sporting Vivid Black or new Gunmetal Pearl paint. All models in these colours will have Anniversary decal striping and a bright chrome 100th Anniversary tank emblem with chrome Bar & Shield cloisonné insert. All models will carry the 100th Anniversary engine medallion insert and a 100th Anniversary nameplate. The three colours carried over from 2002 - Luxury Rich Red Pearl, Luxury Blue Pearl and White Pearl - featuring subtle 100th Anniversary identification and will be offered on selected models only. The exciting VRSCA V-Rod, introduced in 2001, is an exception with a choice of either Sterling Silver and Vivid Black Two-Tone or its original Anodised Aluminium. Each colour option has its own individual set of 100th Anniversary decals. The Sportster 883R will continue to be offered in the only appropriate colour for this motorcycle: Harley-Davidson Racing Orange with checker graphics and subtle Anniversary markings. Harley's stunning V-Rod retains its original Anodised Aluminium but for 2003 will also be available in paint for the first time. Two-Tone Sterling Silver and Vivid Black. Resale value has always been a strong point in relation to Harley-Davidson motorcycles and it seems reasonable to expect the anniversary models to continue, if not improve, this tradition. The 2003 Anniversary range is on sale now. |
