Two For The Road

Early March in Maryland isn’t a guarantee that Old Man Winter has packed up and headed home, but the Orioles are in spring training and kids are practicing lacrosse in the front yard, so it’s safe to start dreaming about riding on the open road.

If you’re thinking about purchasing a street bike, or own one and want to try something different, Pete’s Cycle is proud to introduce two new bikes that bring a great deal to the table.

First up is the new 2012 Honda Goldwing – touring bike aficionados know that Honda and touring bikes are synonymous. There’s nothing like riding in total comfort, and experiencing the quality engineering and performance of a Honda.

The manufacturer offers this Gold Wing in four distinct performance package options, each with features like Premium Surround Audio; XM® Radio with Navigation, Traffic, and Weather; Trip Planner, a Tire Pressure Monitoring System, ABS, heated grips and seat, and even one with the industry's first airbag.

Upgrades and additions to this year’s model include:
• A trip planner that’s quicker and more intuitive, with a GPS system that downloads information faster.
• Revised bodywork providing increased lower body wind protection
• New seat material
• iPod® connectivity
• XM programming including NavTraffic® and NavWeather™ features help riders stay on course and ahead of bad weather.

Another model available, and a totally different breed from the Goldwing, is Triumph’s Tiger 800XC. This adventure bike sports brawny tire designed to handle the rough stuff, and an extended suspension that cries, “Just bring it!” to any kind of terrain.

The Tiger is powered by an 800 cc version of Triumph’s Triple, which delivers 95 hp at 9300 rpm. The XC sports wire-spoke wheels with Nissin brakes and optional ABS, which can be turned off for off road riding.

If you’re looking for a bike that travels flat out fast on the road, and is ready to bang it around on the trails, the Tiger is the answer. European styling and grace mixed with American brawn and durability, that’s what it takes to be a Tiger.
