2016 Harley-Davidson Roadster launched

There's a new member of Harley-Davidson's Sportster range. Named the Roadster, it combines various specification upgrades, a 1,202 cc Evolution V-twin engine and blacked-out components.

An enhanced suspension set-up is probably the bike's main selling point. The front end features a very modern upside-down fork, sturdy triple clamps and cartridge damping. The rear meanwhile gains emulsion-type dampers with pre-load adjustment.

Also on the standard equipment list are lightweight five-spoke cast wheels, anti-lock brakes and a circular instrument display which incorporates a digital speedometer. Lowered handlebars plus a unique dual saddle that's just 785 mm (30.9”) high are intended to provide a comfortable riding position.

UK starting prices depend on the paintwork chosen:
  • Vivid Black - £9,695
  • Velocity Red Sunglo - £9,895
  • Black Denim - £9,895
  • Billet Silver / Vivid Black - £10,145

Hence the concept of regeneration by substituting ancient components with fresh replacements. Handling, brakes and reliability are all dramatically improved, while the outward appearance remains unmolested. Various models have received this treatment in recent years, including numerous Jaguars and even the Shelby G.T.500CR . Now it’s the turn of the Jensen Interceptor, a car originally built during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Jensen International Automotive , based in Thame, Oxfordshire, has just delivered the first of its Interceptor R models. And, with an annual production figure of 18 cars, it’s a product that will be very exclusive. In a process lasting around five months, each Interceptor R is totally rebuilt from a suitable donor car.
