2010 Harley Davidson Forty Eight Black
Harley is still gunning for those that favor the dark side with two new model releases this past week (1/25/10). For the Darth Vader crowd there's the the Death Star AKA the 2010 CVO Ultra. And for the rebellious young Luke Skywalker in all of us there's the Landspeeder or as Harley affectionately calls it, the Forty-Eight.

For those who are into lighter weight and more frequent gas stops, Harley offers its newest dark custom Sporty model (I think that makes three now?) the Forty-Eight ($10,499). Going for the real minimal approach, Harley slimmed down the gas tank to mere 2.1 gallon design, but still features the classic peanut shape. The Forty-Eight Sporty sports a chunked up front end with wide triple clamps and new forks, and a big slab of 130mm rubber on a 16 inch spoked rim leading the way. With the four cam 1200cc engine pushing the 567 pound brawler down the street, steam rolling over Miata's and Smart Cars shouldn't be a problem. Short and sweet fenders keep the clutter to a minimum, while underslung mirrors, low profile handlebars, a solo seat, and a smattering of black components keep styling subtle and tight.


Honda Civic Research
Honda Civic The all new Honda Civic is a good car, with practical styling to fit your lifestyle. The Civic gets 40 mpg in the city and 45 on the highway, and has a 5 star frontal impact rating for the driver and a 5 star frontal impact rating for the passenger. You also might want to research the Ford F150 and the Nissan Titan.
