American-V 100
£6.99
Part navel-gazing, part celebrating the last fifteen years of American motorcycles, we look back at a hundred editions of American-V and spin it from a modern context.
There’s favourite customs and classics, most influential new models and most missed departures – all of which is really barely skimming the surface: we could have done an issue dedicated to the classics, one to customs, one to roadtrips, etc, but that didn’t seem to be good value … until we saw how this hung together.
Bright, lively, diverse and though-provoking, shows that there’s much much more to American motorcycles than an 883 Sportster and a heavyweight tourer, which is where their critics’ imaginations run out of … well, imagination, I guess?
And then we test a sportster and a heavyweight tourer – hahaha – although ‘sportster’ (with a small ‘s’) refers to the big S at the end of Harley’s newest Low Rider, and the tourer is no Geezer-Glide, but a tarmac-rippling 116-inch bagger!
