Heavy Duty - 01/02 2018

HEAVY DUTY is Australia’s favourite Harley-Davidson and V-twin motorcycle magazine. It is a high quality publication that showcases motorcycles mainly from Australia, but also around the world. HEAVY DUTY features test rides on latest models and presents the best custom bike builders and their creations. A reader favourite is our Tech Torq sections which offers tips and advice on everything a rider needs to know. A must for any Harley-Davidson or V-Twin enthusiast.

*** Welcome, HEAVY DUTY readers, to 2018! Issue 156. In this, our 26th year of publication, we are focusing more than ever on our favourite motorcycle brands – Harley-Davidson and their increasingly popular competition – Indian Motorcycle. So to kick off the new year we have a piece on the new H-D Sport Glide, the surprise model of 2017 and a 143 cube/2350cc mega Dyna from Karupt Customz on the Gold Coast. Get past that feature and you can read about the 2017 AMA flat track series in the USA which was dominated by Indian, we ride the 2018 Indian Bobber (which is very, very good) and feature a wonderful long-fork chopper from Italy. And, of course, Doc answers lots of tech inquiries from readers and gives us a rundown on the 2018 Heritage Softail. And Dave Cohen rides the new 114 Fat Boy. I could keep going but better if you pick up the latest issue #156 from your local outlet now. Happy 2018! ***
