NOVEMBER 2020 (# 256 )
COMMENT - All New ' ZeitzGeist ' headed your way soon ...... 4
With authorized Harley dealers running on vapors , Robin Bradley presages the dawning of a whole new Age of Aquarius ( the MY2021 models will ship to dealers in the second half of January - geddit ?) by asking if the present demand for pre-owned inventory will be enough to bridge the gap ?
INDIAN MY2021 - ' Starless and Bible-Black ' ...... 18-20
Indian Motorcycle confirmed a relatively unremarkable MY2021 offer a little later than usual , but have not gone down the same route as Harley in delaying until January of the new year - in new model terms the highlight is the new Vintage Dark Horse - nice !
POLARIS - Electric Shock .................................. 10
It really shouldn ' t have come as a shock because CEO Scott Wine has proven himself to be a pretty smart operator on numerous occasions - the deal with ZERO Motorcycles as the pathway of choice into an electric future is but the latest of many smart plays .
IMS Outdoor Series .......................................... 16
UBM / Advanstar ' s decision to permanently drop its indoor winter IMS program in favor of an outdoor summer series is a sound one - though unfortunately the J & P Cycles backed ' Ultimate Builder ' series that had been keeping their head above water appears to be the primary casualty .
Product Extra - Jekill & Hyde ............................ 40
The electronically adjustable exhaust specialist has taken its sound management expertise to the next level with the ' Clubstyle ' Project 21 - its first 2-into-1 three-mode electronically adjustable exhaust design .
