Since 1903, American manufacturer Harley-Davidson has been making motorcycles. Today they are one of the top 10 most recognised brands in the world. Harley makes cruisers and tourers from 500cc up to the big 1800cc juggernauts, and soon an electric bike. But Harley is about more than just motorcycles; it’s a lifestyle and its rider group, the Harley Owners Group or HOG is one of the most established in the world. We not only bring you news, previews and reviews of Harley-Davidson motorbikes, but also look into the lifestyle behind the famous product. MotorbikeWriter attends Harley launches and road tests their bikes in Australia and overseas.

The 2016 Harley-Davidson Road Glide Special is a big-distance highway tourer with outstanding high-speed stability, low-speed manoeuvrability and aerodynamics.
