Appealing to the new generation of Harley-Davidson riders, The Motor Company has released a line of Café Customs accessories for its Sportsters.

Harley-Davidson is expanding its range and appeal with a duo of sporty roadsters that are, somewhat surprisingly, learner-friendly. The new Harley-Davidson X350 and X500 form the ‘X’ category of motorcycles that aim to provide fans with a more user-friendly bike with all the usual Harley-Davidson attributes. Sleeker, smaller and decidedly different from what we’ve come […]

A soon as we saw the Bolt we knew it had to happen. There’s no disguising what bike Star Motorcycles had in its sights when the 2014 Bolt was released. And with good reason. The Sportster has been a best-selling model forHarley-Davidson for ages and has made it into the production line yearly since 1957. Currently Harley offers five variations, as one of the bike’s roles is as a gateway model to what The Motor Company hopes will be buyers investing in bigger and better Harleys somewhere down the road. Can’t blame Star for wanting to tap into that. The two cruisers also bear a striking resemblance, small tanks mounted high on backbones behind drag-style bars slinking back to a small solo seat, the tall pillars of a V-Twin nesting between the rails of dual downtubes. Pitting these two head-to-head was inevitable. They call it the Bolt and its Star Motorcycles newest urban cruiser. See how it stacks up against Harley's Iron 883 and the Triumph Bonneville in our 2014 Star Bolt Comparison video. But we decided to throw a wild card into the Urban Cruiser mix, the 2013 Triumph Bonneville. The Bonneville has been dueling with the Sportster on the sales floor for ages. First produced in 1959, the Bonneville has a history almost as tenured and venerable as the Sportster. Admittedly, Triumph’s standard motorcycle can’t quite match the Sportster’s record for continuous production, as there was a 13-year hiatus between the end of the Triumph Engineering Meriden models in 1988 and the Bonneville’s resurrection in 2001 by the Hinckley-based Triumph Motorcycles. And its use of a Parallel Twin as opposed to a V-Twin does make it the outlier in this shootout, but the motorcycle caters to primarily the same demographic (first bike buyers, urban commuters, new riders) and serves many of the same purposes. They share other bonds as well. Sportster conversions are a hot commodity right now. Just look at what Roland Sands is doing with them or check out the Burly Brand Café Racer we recently featured. And doing the ton-up on the Bonnie has been en vogue since the ‘60s and it’s hard to mention the café racer movement without mentioning Triumph. We’ve recognized the same potential with the Bolt and are hoping to give it the café treatment ourselves as a future project bike.

In a bid to a stronghold in the growing premium bike, Hero MotoCorp has introduced its first motorcycle on the Harley Davidson platform, which could be the most expensive model in its portfolio. The two-wheeler maker’s focus has been skewed towards the premium space recently to ride on the premiumisation trend in the industry.

Engineering is easy. Lean on decades of technological progress, R&D like hell, and a modern manufacturer can build a mechanically competent motorcycle that satisfies the masses. Style, on the other hand, proves elusive. It slips and shifts, deflecting fleeting trends and prevailing tastes while flirting with the culture zeitgeist. On a rare occasion a bike’s looks will resonate grandly, alchemizing desire through seemingly incidental gestures like the arc of a fuel tank, the chamfered edge of a cylinder head, or a just-so wheel-to-engine-to-handlebar proportion. But when it’s not quite right, motorcycle styling can fall off a cliff like a fashion
