radio control Harley Davidson motorcycle

is now available and who else but the folks at Harley Davidson would put their nameplate on radio control vehicles as realistic as this?

The authentic styling of the motorcycles makes them appealing to a wide variety of radio control enthusiasts. The most popular version of the motorcycles is the 1:3 scale made by New Bright.

For the collector, this radio control Harley Davidson motorcycle shows off a high level of detail on the 28 long framework and accompanying accessories. It has realistic brake lines, chrome pipes, true rubber tires, and mirrors you can actually see a reflection in. The motorcycle also has steel handlebars and a folding steel kickstand along with a variety of other plated and metal parts.

Another feature the collector will like is the realistic sounds the motorcycle makes including rev, idle, gear changes, and a horn. For a quieter bike, these sounds can be turned off using a volume switch on the gas tank. The motorcycle also comes with its own display stand to show it off with.

For the hobbyist, the front and rear spring suspension help give the radio control Harley Davidson motorcycle a smoother ride making it able to navigate slightly rough surfaces. The control has forward drive, left and right steering, and a brake. The motorcycle is powered by a 9.6 volt NiMH battery cartridge that takes about 4 hours to charge and lasts through 30 minutes of continuous use. The dual joystick controller takes 6 AA batteries for its power and has a range of about 100 feet.

For the racers out there, the radio control Harley Davidson motorcycle comes with an authentic belt drive and a counterweight system that keeps the bike upright. Its been reported to clock up to 30 mph, which is great on a straightaway but can cause your motorcycle to wipe out if you take a turn too fast. The different styles of the bike come in 49 or 27MHz so you can take it head to head with a second one.

For everyone, the radio control Harley Davidson motorcycle in 1:3 scale comes in two models: the Fat Boy and the V-Rod, each one available in a couple of different color schemes. If the large size of the 1:3 scale isnt what you are looking for, New Bright also makes a 1:6 scale radio control Harley Davidson motorcycle that you may find more appealing.

These naturally dont have quite the detail of the 1:3 scale, but they do come with their own mix of realistic features. They have start-up, rev, and horn sounds and the frame sits at about 16 long. The radio control has forward, left, and right steering. The bike is powered by a 6-volt rechargeable battery pack.

Still too big? You may want to check out the mini radio control Harley Davidson motorcycle. This one measures 4 long and comes in the Road King, V-Rod, Fat Boy, Softail Deuce, and Police models. The control has a 10 radius and works in forward, reverse, right, and left. The motorcycle recharges in 45 seconds on a stand, which looks like an old-fashioned gas pump, and the charge lasts about 6 minutes. The bike charger requires 3AA batteries and the controller takes 3AAA.

Small, medium, or large, theres a radio control Harley Davidson motorcycle out there just waiting to be taken for a spin!
