HARLEY-DAVIDSON and Buell dealerships across the UK are putting on a spectacular event this April; the 2005 Open House weekend. With revolutionary new models like the VRSCR Street Rod grabbing the headline act and numerous activities for all the family, anyone interested in motorcycling should be heading to their local Harley-Davidson showroom on the 2 and 3 April.

There will be demo rides on the brand new motorcycles for 2005, including the £4,995 on the road Sportster 883 and the just-launched VRSCR Street Rod, food and drink and live music, fun events for the kids and a host of offers at the dealerships.

Combining the awesome power of the VRSC V-twin Revolution engine with Showa suspension, a raised ride height and a steeper 40 degree lean angle, the new Street Rod Roadster provides the perfect platform to experience some American muscle to hustle along your favourite back-roads. With 120bhp on tap, and astounding style and agility, the VRSCR Street Rod is a Harley-Davidson like no other.

If classic Harley-Davidson style is your thing, the new 15th Anniversary Fat Boy - with its 24K gold-plated badge - will be bringing new heights to the already renowned motorcycle; famed for its appearance as "Arnie's" ride in Terminator 2.
