▲ Harley-Davidson 975 Streetfighter for 2020 or maybe 2022. This motorcycle, we're told, is one of 21 new models that HD is planning to develop over the next three or four years in an effort to reinvigorate the brand, especially with regard to the younger demographic. A flat tracker, scrambler, sports bike and adventure bike are said to be on the drawing board. Engines and frames will be modular. We're looking at engine capacities of between 550cc and 1250cc—and there are other changes coming with regard to marketing and sales. Check our July 2018 Classic Bike News page for more ...

LSR Spitfire helmet

We think LSR missed an opportunity here. Calling this open face lid a "Spitfire" is okay. That's a nice name with a huge parcel of history behind it. But they could have called it the Spitfire McQueen Elvis God Is Great Trump helmet and appealed a whole lot more people. [More...]

Givi V37 panniers

No, it ain't a crash helmet—but these days it's hard to tell. It's actually a pannier, or, if you prefer, a "side case", and there's a matching one for the other half of your bike. You can squeeze 37 litres into each box (hence the V37 name). The weight limit is 10kg per case (of beer or whatever).

This the second edition of these Bobber T-shirts, and they're different from edition one which were printed on grey. Why the change? Well, we received numerous email enquiries asking if we had these tees on black. So eventually we relented and changed the colour (ya gotta keep the customer satisfied, are we right?). Anyway, these shirts sell fast. The new batch is here, but they won't last long. To get yours while it's going, click on the image or the button below.
