2021 Harley-Davidson Sportster S – Finally!
We were tempted to be nervous when there was a teaser photo of a new Harley-Davidson about to be released. What would it be and would it answer many of the lingering questions.

The constant progression is nothing to scoff at as the heritage of some components, like the engine and … Continue reading 2022 Suzuki GSX-S1000
Electric Possibilities From Husqvarna
Husqvarna has released concept images of an electric motorcycle based on the Svartpilen and Vitpilen platform - the E-Pilen. The silhouette shows the obvious family resemblance although it would have been good to have charged the batteries on those lights so more light could be shed on the bike itself. Apart from the fact that … Continue reading Electric Possibilities From Husqvarna
