2023 Harley-Davidson Breakout Review

Trev — Thu, 09 Mar 2023 22:00:30 +0000

2023 Harley-Davidson Breakout Review Trev reviews the 2023 Harley-Davidson Breakout and finds that ten years after it first broke cover the Breakout is now a far better proposition than it ever was. Harley-Davidson first debuted the Breakout as a CVO Twin Cam 110B model in 2013. Normally things work the other way around, with an […]

Harley-Davidson Low Rider ST Review 2022 Harley Lower Rider ST test by Wayne Vickers – Images RbMotoLens Cruisers are a bit deceiving I reckon.

Wayne Vicko — Sun, 25 Dec 2022 21:19:03 +0000

Harley-Davidson Nightster Review Review by Wayne Vickers So Harley have reintroduced the Nightster. Those with limited historical knowledge of the Milwaukee line-up won’t know that the Nightster was once a thing. Then for a time it wasn’t. Now it is again. Other things happened there too but you’re pretty much officially caught up. It’s kind […]

Wayne Vicko — Tue, 28 Dec 2021 23:45:11 +0000

2021 Harley-Davidson Pan America Review Motorcycle Test by Wayne Vickers – Images by RbMotoLens There are two things I thought I’d never say about a Harley. The first, is that I jumped it, the second is that it could probably be louder. Now I’ve never spent much time on Harleys. Not that I dislike them, […]

2022 Harley-Davidson Sportster S Review By Rennie Scaysbrook If you go through the list of memorable automotive monikers, what do you come up with? Mustang? 911? What about motorcycles? Fireblade? GS? All iconic names, but arguably none carry the weight and legacy of our testbike today. The Harley-Davidson Sportster has been around since 1957, predating […]
