In this issue
HEAVY DUTY #190 September/October 2023 is landing now with the 2023.5 CVO Road Glide front and centre on the cover.
As the only print magazine from Australia or New Zealand invited to the world launch, we’re proud to share our extensive and exclusive road test of both all-new CVO Road Glide and Street Glides.
Touring models are the flavour of this issue with road tests of the Road Glide 3, Road Gide ST, and a Road Glide track bike!
The Nightster Special was tested by Paul and the long-time Sportster owner reckons that the Motor Company has got it right with this latest generation.
The Softail on the cover is called Golow, and we reckon it’s damn-near Vicla Perfection. Much more than a selection of bolt-ons, this bike is a complete package.
From the Harley City Collection we’re proud to share the genuine and well-credentialled Excelsior hillclimber.
Alongside a variety of custom bikes including Hot Chocolate, an Evo-powered Rigid is Mick’s story on the HD120th Homecoming, an experience he reckons was a dream come true.
Not to forget our regulars: Tech Torq, Gripes of Rooth, and Cybercycles.
HEAVY DUTY #190 will be on sale Monday 4th September, 2023 in newsagents and better bike shops across Australia and New Zealand.
