Steve Tyler of Aerosmith unveiled his new motorcycle company at Loudon before the Busch race. I was at the cup race Sunday and saw two of the bikes and talked to the rep.
Basically its 90% HD softail with a SE 103 motor, Baker 6 speed, inverted front forks from the SE Dyna, HD controls, Corbin seat, beach bars, nothing special except the price tag of $43K. They will be sold at two NH HD dealers, as one of the partners is Steve Talarico the owner of the two dealers. I was toild they would be warranteed by HD.
Tyler will be unveiling on the Leno show. He has been riding for 40 years. My buddies have cross paths with him at Sebago Lake in the past.
Steven Tyler Launches Red Wing Motorcycle Company At NHIS
Hand Crafted Motorcycles Blend
Rock and Roll Style and Superior Engineering
September 15, 2007
(LOUDON, N.H.) – Steven Tyler, in collaboration with Mark Dirico and AC Custom Motorcycles, today launched Red Wing Motorcycle Company. Red Wing Motorcycles are the fusion of rock and roll artistry and superior engineering. Imbued with Tyler’s sense of style, each motorcycle is as comfortable to ride as it is sexy.
Tyler’s artistic vision drove the outrageous design of the custom motorcycles, each hand crafted and hand signed by the legendary rock star.
“You get on one of these bikes and you can ride for days,” Tyler said. “These bikes are sick, rugged, and just damn cool. And they’re amazing to look at.”
These motorcycles were made to ride. With a 35% increase in horsepower to the rear wheel compared to a stock Harley-Davidson, and every inch handcrafted and tailor engineered, they are as hot to drive as they are to look at. The ProStreet model focuses on the beauty and finesse of Tyler’s unique design while never losing sight of critical comfort and performance. The Retro model has the look and feel of a classic Harley-Davidson with new components that ensure the best riding experience possible.
Red Wing Motorcycles are backed not only by Tyler’s brilliance and style but by decades of engineering and motorcycle experience. Engineered by internationally renowned master engineer, Mark Dirico, each facet of the bike was purposefully crafted for a smooth, beautiful ride. Each bike is hand built by the team at AC Custom Motorcycles, with more than 300 years of combined experience building and perfecting motorcycles.
Red Wing Motorcycles are debuting at New Hampshire International Speedway during the SYLVANIA 300 weekend and are now available to the public. Exclusive viewing of the bikes can be found at Manchester and Nashua, N.H. Harley-Davidson dealerships. Each bike is backed by an extensive warranty and can be fully serviced by local Harley dealers. Bikes will be available in partnership with select dealerships across the East Coast through 2008 with a national roll out planned for later that year.
Steven Tyler and the Red Wing Motorcycle Team will be visiting New Hampshire International Speedway on Saturday, September 15 to unveil these incredible motorcycles to the thousands of race fans attending the NASCAR and USAC events at “The Magic Mile”. Tyler will also be speaking with the national motorsports media about his vision and passion for this new project.
