2020 Harley-Davidson Heritage Classic and Heritage Classic 114
The 2020 Harley-Davidson Heritage Classic is truly an iconic motorcycle, with a look that says “motorcycle” in any language. It’s ready for light-duty touring, one- or two-up, with lockable saddlebags, a detachable windshield, triple headlights, floorboards, and deeply valanced fenders.The 114ci version puts out additional power, though at the cost of increased vibration and about $1500 or so. Certainly, the standard Milwaukee-Eight 107 puts out enough power to satisfy anyone other than the diehard hotrodder.
The Softail chassis gives the 2020 Harley-Davidson Heritage Classic generous suspension travel, limited cornering clearance, and a pair of pleasingly plump 16-inch Dunlop Harley-Davidson D401 tires. Mini-apes provide attitude.Harley-Davidson shook up the styling of the standard 2020 Heritage Classic, moving away from black paint and toward more chrome. Those who step up to the 2020 Heritage Classic 114 get the black-enhanced styling treatment we have seen recently.

KTM RC 390 and Gordon McCall of Quail Motorcycle Gathering
byMotos and Friends by Ultimate Motorcycle
Hello and welcome once again to Ultimate Motorcycling’s weekly Podcast—Motos and Friends.
This week’s Podcast is brought to you by Yamaha motorcycles. Discover how the YZF-R7 provides the perfect balance of rider comfort and true supersport performance by checking it out at YamahaMotorsports.com, or see it for yourself at your local dealer.
This week features Senior Editor Nic de Sena’s impressions of the new KTM RC 390. The entry-level KTM has always been an impressive motorcycle that has sold extremely well, however the factory has now taken the bike to another level, with top-spec features that are typically found on flagship machines. Clearly KTM has realized that even smaller engined machines should have high spec suspension, brakes and electronics packages. Nic tells us how well the new RC 390 is equipped, and what he thought of riding the smaller displacement rocket.
In the second segment I chat with automotive and motorcycle industry icon, Gordon McCall. Gordon is the Director of Motorsports at the Quail Lodge & Golf Club in Carmel Valley, California.
This weekend of Saturday May 14th sees the annual Quail Motorcycle Gathering re-start after its Covid-forced hiatus, and having attended every one of the previous Motorcycle Gatherings, personally I’m very happy that the event is back on the schedule. Gordon chats about the event and a little of what’s happening this year. It’s a great event and if you feel like a trip to the gorgeous Quail Lodge in Carmel Valley, you’ll get to meet Gordon, Roland Sands, and of course a large number of stunning motorcycles too.
From all of us at Ultimate Motorcycling, we hope you enjoy this episode!
