And it is clearly Harley-Davidson motorcycles that command the largest share of interest on KBB.com. All of the top 10 most researched V-twin motorcycles on KBB.com are Harleys. And nine of the top 10 most researched 2014 model-year V-Twin motorcycles also are Harleys, interrupted only by the relative new- comer, the 2014 Yamaha Bolt. In order to give a wider view of the distri- bution of interest on KBB.com, the charts for this issue are split into Harley-Davidson ver- sus Japanese V-twin motorcycles versus other manufacturers, and the Japanese motorcycles also are divided by engine size. HARLEY-DAVIDSON The Harley-Davidson touring motorcycles dominate the list of the top 10 most researched Harley-Davidson V-twin motorcycles thus far in 2015. Only one non-touring motorcycle appears on the top 10 list. The No. 1 model on the list, the 2012 FLHX Street Glide, saw the greatest change in KBB.com web hits with an increase of 18 percent. Four out of the five FLHX Street Glide motorcycles on the list saw an increase in KBB.
