In an Australian-exclusive, this issue, we rode the Can-Am Spyder F3, we tested the Victory Magnum and liked what we found. Australia’s shortest road tester rode Harley-Davidson’s all-new Street 500, we also tested the Kawasaki Vulcan S, Suzuki S40, Triumph Commander and Harley-Davidson Low Rider. 

Getting out and riding is what we do so we went to the 2015 HOG Rally in Tamworth on Harley’s Road King, and also spent a Day in the Saddle in New Zealand’s South Island. 

Closer to home, we checked out Moto Guzzi’s 2015 California range, the Gold Coast Cruiser Club and found time to start sorting out our Yamaha XV1900’s suspension.

The biggest news is the all-new Harley-Davidson Milwaukee Eight engine. Or the M8, as we prefer to call it. Mick rode it at the world launch in the USA and came away with a smile. He reckons that it’s good hanging out with M8s. Sandbag has ridden the Royal Enfield Classic 500 and the Moto Guzzi V9 Roamer. Paul Bailey scored the Harley-Davidson Ultra Low. Mick also got to ride the Victory Octane and TC Custom Bikes Street 500 learner trike. Paul also claimed the long-term Triumph Thunderbird LT from Sandbag. After a massive cleanup, he took it for a ride; read his thoughts. And we've been testing stuff, making stuff and working on stuff in The Shed. Plus much more!

Leading the way in this issue is the Indian Springfield –– is it the new king of the road? Ducati’s XDiavel is out and we’ve tested it. We have also tested a brilliant Frankenstein Fat Bob trike. There’s still more: Harley-Davidson CVO Pro Street Breakout, Can-Am Spyder F3T, Indian Chief Dark Horse and the unique Harley Davidson Roadster. We’ve been out and about at the United Trikers AGM and spent a day in the saddle east of Cowra. There’s a reader’s ride, another reader’s trike, our long-term Triumph Thunderbird LT, new products and stuff we’re testing.

In an Australian-exclusive, we rode the Hannigan Goldwing trike. We tested the Indian Scout Sixty and liked what we found. 

Who said that Harley’s V-Rod wasn’t a touring bike? Not us! We also threw a leg over a Heritage Softail Classic and Triumph’s all-new Street Twin. 

Our long term Triumph Thunderbird LT has hit the dragstrip. 

Mates helping mates is the theme of Spyder Help. A bloke needed a hand or two and the hands helped out. 

Getting out and riding is what we do so we went to the Bankstown Custom Motorcycle Show, the international Boulevard Rally, and also spent a Day in the Saddle just west of the Blue Mountains.

Look for the outstanding pic of a Boom Mustang Trike, a first for any Australian magazine, on the cover of Cruiser & Trike 7.6, which is also our fattest issue ever.

Victory’s HIgh-Ball is just one of the amazing cruiser tested this issue. We’ve also got a report on two of Harley—Davidson’s new S-Class hot rods: The Softail Slim S and the Fat Boy S. Euro cruisers are covered by the brilliant Moto Guzzi Eldorado and our Long Term Triumph Thunderbird. For runnig around town we’ve tested Triumph’s Bonneville in Newchurch format. We’ve covered Aussie Trikefest from Victor Harbor as well as put a novice rider through the ropes at the Harley-Davidson Riding Academy. We tracked down a custom Victory with a 26” front wheel and finally, we had a look back at our favourite stuff from all of the issues of Cruiser & Trike from 2015.

The Harley Electra Glide has been around for 50 years so we paired a beautiful 1965 model with a 2015 Ultra Limited to show the difference five decades makes. We've also tested the HD Street Glide CVO, Ducati Diavel Rosso, Triumph Thunderbird LT and Yamaha's Stryker Bullet Cowl.
We spent days in the saddle in SE Queensland and New Zealand's north island as well as a trip to Robertson for a pie or two.

Triumph's all-new 1200 Bonnevilles are due to start arriving in the next couple of moths and we've already had a look at them and picked out what we want. Harley-Davidson released their 2016 range in Japan and we made Hinchliffe sit on a plane for longer than he was on the ground so that he could bring you the story. All of this as well as a surprise or two.

Welcome to the re-invigorated Cruiser & Trike, an Australian magazine that provides real-world road tests and technical information, not fairy tales. Cruiser & Trike includes cruisers, trikes and roadsters from all of the major manufacturers. We write about the things that are important to cruiser riders, not boy racers.Try a copy and tell us what you reckon; we’re listening.

Issue #7.1 includes road tests of cruisers and trikes that have been ridden and tested by experienced Australian road testers. There’s no rewriting of press releases here. We tested the all-new Indian Scout in New Zealand and liked what we found. Back home, we tested Harley-Davidson’s all-new Street 500. As well as that, we went out and tested the Kawasaki VN900 Classic, H-D Road Glide Special, Victory Gunner, H-D Road King Classic and the Can-Am Spyder ST-S. And, because we love to ride, we spent A Day in the Saddle on the way to Victor Harbor for Spyder Royale and after we got back from that, we joined in for one of the Yamaha Star Rides. There were trikes at Bathurst and we've captured the images as well as an S&S-powered Bon Trike. All of this plus heaps more in the latest Cruiser & Trike!

New bikes tested include Harley-Davidson Street Bob Special, Honda F6C Valkyrie, Yamaha XVS650 LAMS Bobber, Honda CTX1300, Harley-Davidson Road Glide Special and Ducati’s Diavel Carbon Dark. We’ve also got the first Australian road test of the amazing Boom Mustang ST-1 automatic trike. Breaking cover in this issue is the all-new Can-Am Spyder F3 and we have a closer look at Harley-Davidson’s 2015 CVO range.

Our Project Nuts & Bolts receives a final farewell before we hand it over to the lucky winner. The biggest ride this issue is A Day in the Saddle from Warrnambool to Sydney. The Indian Motorcycle Museum in Brisbane is looked at in detail as is Sydney Dyno. The Cruiser Club of SA went to Mannum and we’ve got the pics and story on that ride.

Cruiser & Trike 6.5 includes road tests of cruisers and trikes that have been ridden on Australian roads by experienced Australian road testers.

New bikes tested include Indian Chief Vintage, Triumph Commander, Suzuki M109 Boulevard, Harley-Davidson Wide Glide and also their 1200T Sportster. We also tested the brand-new Can-Am Spyder RT Limited. In modified form we have the Yamaha XV1900 Road Rhino and a Rocket III trike.

The biggest ride this issue is the Aussie Hardarse Association 1600km in 48 hours Challenge. Plus we take a ride down through northern NSW and follow the north coast back the Queensland border on an Indian Chieftain.
