What the heck is an "Escort"?

There appears to be a 96 and a 103 for every model.

They bought the right to it from Ford.



I was thinking like a funeral escort bike.

I saw that too. I guess every model will have a "Limited" version for $5,000 more.

FLHPE....california compliant police roadking...commonly sold to Escorts in California. Other police models (FLHP and FLHTP) are not California compliant but government entities in California are exempt to emission requirements and can purchase them....however these models cannot be sold to the general public until after they have seen their useful life in police service.

....... it looks as though MoCo mgmt is taking economic & demographic trends seriously w/this years line up. The economy sez they're gonna sell fewer bikes. The entry price points are set w/ Sportster so the most likely gains in revenue come from trade-in/upgrades for higher end bikes. Their installed base of customers routinely buy every LTD/CVO they make, so overall sales revenue gets it's biggest boost via sales of premium rides. LTD/CVO's require little if any added R&D investment, sooo ...Whah-Lah .... everything is available as an LTD or better.

....... i do hope the noted CVO/LTD RG's both a) appear & b) have differing paint schemes from the FLH's.

Do my eyes deceive me or do I see CVO Road Glide Ultra, Road Glide Ultra (96"), and Road Glide Ultra 1 (103")? Looks like I'm gonna have to rob a bank real soon!
