95th Anniversary Harley-Davidson limited edition, number 144 out of 1000. This bike had a domestic list price of $2,900 and was available at H-D dealerships and authorized GT Bicycles dealerships. An article from 1998 tells all about the project: ""November 24, 1998. Longmont, CO - In party of Harley-Davidson's 95th Anniversary, GT Bicycles has actually created a restricted edition bicycle, the Velo Glide Ultra. Production of the Harley-Davidson Velo Glide Ultra is limited to just 1,000 bikes. Under license from Harley-Davidson, GT Bicycles works closely with designers at the bike business. "Capturing the heritage and spirit of Harley-Davidson in a bicycle is quite a difficulty," stated Susan McPherson, Senior Manager, General Merchandise. "The Velo Glide Ultra succeeds in every respect.". Influenced by Harley-Davidson's famous Softail Custom motorbike, the Velo Glide Ultra mixes 1950's beach cruiser looks with state-of-the-art bike technology. Near scale-model fenders and a mock gas tank are highlighted by timeless Harley-Davidson components. Included on that list is a laser-etched air cleaner cover, a fired cloisonne medallion set into the gas tank and handlebar grips made of chrome and rubber. Stock equipment likewise consists of Fat Boy-style saddlebags. The Velo Glide Ultra appears to be a throwback to an earlier age, the technology of its elements recommends it is undoubtedly an item of its time. Shimano Nexus Flip-Fire shifters cause a 7-speed drivetrain housed in the rear center that is essentially maintenance-free. Contributing to the ultra-plush trip is a Rock Shox Jett suspension fork. Trusted braking is offered by Shimano Inter-M Roller Brakes, front and back. "The smooth blending of contemporary technology and timeless design is a trademark of Harley-Davidson," said McPherson. "The Velo Glide Ultra satisfies that requirement.". As the Velo Glide Ultra is a real restricted edition, each of the 1,000 bicycles is assigned its own edition number and provided with a certification of credibility. The head badge accessory will be retired upon completion of the manufacturing run. So, too, will the customized turquoise-and-cream paint scheme that is accentuated by red and gold hand-pinstriping. -Source & Copyright 1997-2002 Motorcycle NewsWire All Rights Reserved.
