In 2019, the talented singer, pianist, bandleader, presenter, producer, and educator Robin Phillips embarked on an unforgettable road trip aboard a Harley Davidson motorcycle. His aim was to “retrace the footsteps of jazz and blues across America, from Chicago to New Orleans.” This journey was more than just an adventure; it was a unique opportunity to deepen his understanding of the art form that has shaped his life.
A documentary film entitled “Back to the Source” chronicling this tour has received several accolades. Additionally, a new album inspired by the journey, titled “Return From The Source,” was premiered on Wednesday, March 26, at Pizza Express Holborn.

The tracks on the album exhibit a rich melodic quality, which cellist and backing vocalist Natalie Rozario conveyed with great effectiveness and joy.
In a previous interview, Robin Phillips mentioned: “I suppose I have a lot of energy generally, especially when performing.” This is undoubtedly accurate. His dynamic presence as a project leader is notable, and his boundless energy was palpable throughout Wednesday’s performance. Matt Pannell’s photograph captures Robin and his eight-piece ensemble (full lineup below) receiving well-earned applause from a nearly full house. His dedication over the years is impressive.
The album’s most frequently played track is “Brother.” Robin does have an older brother, and the gratitude conveyed in the first verse reflects his sincere feelings:
“I couldn’t be who I am, without the times you saw me through”
In the second verse, he reflects on a woman in a developing country facing hardship; the third verse addresses his mother, and the fourth conveys anger towards the exploitative behavior of the already affluent.

JAKARTA – PT Anak Elang Motorindo, the authorized dealer and distributor of Elang Harley Davidson in Indonesia, recently conducted a safety training event themed ‘Skilled Rider Training’ aimed at new motorcycle purchasers.
This initiative is designed to inform motorcyclists about the significance of safe riding practices. The program encompasses safety theory and hands-on exercises, which include techniques for controlling large motorcycles, executing safe maneuvers, and strategies for accident prevention.
This event is part of Harley-Davidson’s commitment to ensuring that motorcyclists ride safely, whether on the road or during tours. The safety training sessions have been regularly organized as part of this initiative.
“This program aims to refine riding abilities and diminish accident occurrences. Although it is held annually, we hope that active members can enhance their skills and lower their accident risks,” stated Suherli, the President Director of Elang Harley-Davidson, in an official statement issued on Tuesday, January 21.
During the same event, Eagle-Davidson Director Raka Herza emphasized that this initiative represents a dealer’s commitment to reduce accident risks, particularly for riders of large motorcycles.

HARLEY-Davidson is enhancing its collaboration with a two-wheeler manufacturer to unveil a brand-new motorcycle.
The renowned motorcycle brand is strengthening its partnership with Hero MotoCorp.

This partnership promises to introduce a fresh array of choices for riders, focusing on new motorcycle development and expanding the X440 lineup.
The Harley Davidson and Hero MotoCorp partnership, which began with the successful launch of the Harley-Davidson X440, has proven beneficial for both brands.
Produced in Hero MotoCorp’s facility in Neemrana, Rajasthan, the X440 has already garnered popularity within the premium motorcycle market, starting at a price of $3,370.
Now, the companies are poised to leverage this success by unveiling new variants and tapping into further innovations.
READ MORE ON HARLEY DAVIDSON
Industry experts predict that the new launches may include a scrambler model, along with various other adaptations of the X440.
Harley-Davidson fans can look forward to familiar iconic style and performance, now enhanced with updated features and potentially a broader price range to appeal to a variety of riders.
Hero MotoCorp seems to be pursuing a larger strategic objective.
The firm has articulated its vision to concentrate on premium motorcycles, targeting a segment where innovation and brand appeal play crucial roles.
In conjunction with the X440 expansion, Hero is readying the launch of two new 250cc models — the Xtreme 250R and the XMR 250 — set to debut in the coming months.
Also on the horizon is the eagerly awaited XPulse 421, which could be revealed later this year or early in 2026.
This strategic approach positions Hero MotoCorp as a formidable player in the premium motorcycle landscape.
Despite being the world’s largest two-wheeler manufacturer by volume, this shift toward high-end motorcycles responds to a growing expectation for performance-oriented, aspirational bikes.
Reactions to the news have been overwhelmingly positive.
Initial impressions of the X440 have praised its accessible pricing coupled with Harley-Davidson heritage, striking a chord with Indian consumers.
Motorcycle enthusiasts are buzzing with speculation about the designs and features of the forthcoming models, anticipating bold aesthetics, powerful engines, and cutting-edge technology.
Hero MotoCorp’s alliance with Harley-Davidson not only signifies a shift in the company’s market strategy but also reinforces Harley’s commitment to broadening the accessibility of its legendary motorcycles.
Amidst the rising competition in the premium motorcycle sector, this collaboration could establish a new standard for others to emulate.
The Harley-loving owners have passed down their legacy to a dealership group, as they plan for their retirement.
The Cox family has run the establishment in Rock Hill, South Carolina, a suburb of Charlotte, North Carolina, since 1961.
That legacy was recently signed over to Carson Baker, a motorcycle enthusiast and emerging star in the automotive scene, who closed the deal this past week.
Now, Jan Cox, one of the owners, looks forward to retirement and wishes for Baker to achieve the same success her family did.
The motorcycle giant oversees a program to assist riders with unexpected repair expenses.
Harley-Davidson Financial Services, established in 1993, is a segment of the company that enables customers to finance their motorcycles and relevant parts and accessories.
It also provides options for motorcycle insurance and extended service plans to cover potential repair costs.

Hero MotoCorp has partnered with Harley-Davidson to develop an all-new motorcycle and will also introduce additional variants of the Harley-Davidson X440 that they co-created.
The Harley Davidson X440 was the first result of the Hero-Harley partnership, produced at Hero’s Garden Factory in Neemrana, Rajasthan (Harley Davidson)
This move by Hero is a strategic initiative to capture a larger share of India’s expanding premium motorcycle market.
“The Company has extended its partnership with Harley-Davidson Motor Company, Inc. to introduce new variants of the Harley-Davidson X440 and to design a new motorcycle,” Hero stated in an exchange filing dated Friday, December 27, 2024.
The Harley Davidson X440 marked the initial collaboration between Hero and Harley. This partnership dates back to 2020 when Harley Davidson decided to cease local assembly in India due to insufficient demand, leaving Hero mainly responsible for existing dealerships.
Consequently, they opted to collaborate on a smaller motorcycle aimed at global markets.
Launched on July 3, 2023, the X440 garnered over 25,000 bookings worldwide by August 8. Manufactured at Hero’s Garden Factory in Neemrana, Rajasthan, it starts at ₹2,39,500 (Ex-showroom, Delhi).
Hero subsequently launched the Mavrick 440, based on the same platform, priced at ₹1,99,000 (Ex-showroom, Delhi).
Both motorcycles, alongside Hero’s other premium options like the Xpulse and Karizma, are offered through its “Premia” dealerships, as the company, primarily known for affordable commuter bikes, seeks to penetrate the premium sector. Given that the X440 is a Harley, it is also available through Harley Davidson’s authorized dealerships.
However, the reach of Hero’s Premia dealerships has been fairly limited compared to competitors like Royal Enfield.
Nevertheless, the company is expanding the Premia network to over 50 outlets, with a target of reaching 100 by March next year. In October 2024 alone, Hero opened nine new Premia outlets across various cities.
Hero MotoCorp currently holds the title of the largest two-wheeler manufacturer globally, selling 5.62 million units in the financial year 2023-24, reflecting a 5.5% sales increase compared to 5.33 million units in 2022-23.
As for Harley Davidson in India, besides the X440, it offers models like the Nightster ( ₹13,39,000), Nightster Special ( ₹14,09,000), Sportster S ( ₹16,49,000), Fat Bob 114 ( ₹21,49,000), Pan America Special ( ₹24,64,000), Fat Boy 114 ( ₹25,69,000), Heritage 114 ( ₹27,19,000), Breakout 117 ( ₹30,99,000), Street Glide ( ₹38,79,000), and Road Glide ( ₹41,79,000). All prices are ex-showroom, Delhi.
Hero Motocorp Ltd shares ended at ₹4,239.50 on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) following the end of the week’s trading session on Friday, December 27, 2024.
This represents a decrease of 36.85 points, or 0.86%.
Today, we have an exciting range of updates from various sectors of the Powersports industry:
CCM is gearing up for a global launch into new markets.
Yamaha is working on a V4 engine: Learn about its anticipated launch and the implications for future models in Yamaha’s lineup.
Harley-Davidson has lost a significant lawsuit and will be subject to a staggering 56% tax on HD motorcycle sales in Europe.
Ducati has capped its production at 200,000 units per year, and now we know the reason behind it.
Let’s kick things off with CCM, especially since that Harley lawsuit is quite the hot topic…
CCM Unveils Plans for International Expansion
A view of a CCM motorcycle. Media sourced from CCM.
…Featuring a “Three-Year Model Plan”
The last significant update on CCM was back in 2022 when they unveiled a titanium-framed Spitfire for their Golden Anniversary. Currently, it seems Clews’ Competition Motorcycles is keen to emulate Buell’s success, as they’ve recently announced ambitions for international growth, with their Managing Director sharing:
“In three years, we will definitely have new products and be present in multiple international markets. That’s our ultimate aim.”
It appears that CCM recognizes that its current 600cc engine does not meet Euro5+ standards and considers achieving compliance a “complex and challenging process.”
Currently, CCM utilizes the Motorcycle Single Vehicle Approval (MSVA) process to sell bikes in the UK. This lengthy process requires a thorough inspection from a DVSA examiner, which has limited CCM’s market reach (hence the company’s desire to innovate for its clientele).
The “new” offerings are expected to include a revamped engine within two years and the upcoming “Project X,” an adventure concept featuring their existing engine planned for a debut around Q2 next year (2025).
For those curious, the road-ready version of Project X is projected to be priced around £13,995 plus OTR. Specs will likely feature retro Dakar rally designs, including spoked wheels, a sizeable fuel tank, and a compact head fairing, complemented by a USD fork and long-travel rear suspension.
CCM expects this new adventure bike line to absorb about 50% of their production capabilities, with estimates of around 300 units per year, although this could increase as discussions of international market entry progress.
“An adventure bike fills a critical gap for us over the next two years. During this timeframe, we’ll launch a new product with a new engine and chassis, followed by an 18-month homologation period.”
Broome’s pragmatic approach offers realistic timelines and expectations for model success, especially considering the inherent risks associated with international expansion:
“We prefer not to set numeric limits because we don’t want to overpromise and underdeliver. Our production capacity for CCM bikes is about 300 per year, and we anticipate that about 50% of this will be allocated to the new model due to the resource demands.”

Yamaha Sets the Stage for V4 Engine in MotoGP

Inline-Four Replacement Expected by 2025
The journey of a motorcycle typically includes various iterations, tweaks, and upgrades until inevitably it falls from favor or is withdrawn from the market due to economic challenges, regulatory shifts, or emissions demands.
Such is the fate of Yamaha’s R1, once touted as one of the finest supersport motorcycles ever created. While R1 enthusiasts continue to embrace it on the racetrack, markets lament the loss of the signature inline-four roar echoing on the country roads.
For those missing that sound, we bring you exciting developments around Yamaha’s potential inline-four replacement: a V4 engine poised for its debut on the MotoGP circuit.
Discussion surrounding this engine has circulated widely, but let’s rely on insights from Alex Rins (sourced from Visordown) for credible information:
Currently, Yamaha stands as the only manufacturer in MotoGP utilizing an inline-four engine.
The switch to a V4 configuration aims to enhance Yamaha’s competitive edge against rivals like Ducati, Aprilia, and KTM, who successfully employ similar engines.
Yamaha has recruited an array of talent, including engineers and technicians from Ducati, to fortify their MotoGP team.
Leading F1 engine consultant (Luca Morini), formerly associated with Aprilia, is among the new faces advocating for the transition to V4 power.
The unveiling of the new V4 engine was scheduled for Jerez but was delayed.
The V4 is now expected to make its first appearance at the Sepang Shakedown test in February 2025.
There’s a strong belief that this V4 engine will eventually lead to a street-ready bike capable of approximately 800cc’s. Transitioning from MotoGP to production often takes three to six years or more, so only time will reveal Yamaha’s production plans for the evolving V4.
How do you think Yamaha’s V4 will stack up against the previous inline-four?
Tariff Tribulations: Why Harley-Davidson Lost the Massive EU Lawsuit
Harley-Davidson’s 2024 Road Glide Limited. Media sourced from Harley-Davidson.
…And Why America’s Iconic Motorcycle Brand is Set for Price Hikes in Europe
“… relocating production to avoid punitive tariffs is unacceptable [and] such actions are clearly illegal under European law (Customs Code Article 59, and Implementation Act of 2015, Article 33).”
– Bernd Lange, European Union Trade Committee Chairman (RideApart)
Despite Harley-Davidson’s press release claims, we now know that, as of early December, the European Court of Justice is not permitting any company “to evade additional duties unless relocation is economically justified.”
With Harley’s recent attempt to offshore production to Thailand seen as unjustified, the company will now face a staggering +56% tax on each motorcycle they import into Europe.
“In June 2018, the Trump Administration imposed additional import tariffs of 25% on steel and 10% on aluminum. In response, the EU implemented countermeasures, including increased duties on motorcycles of US origin. According to a Form 8-K, Harley Davidson announced it would shift production of certain motorcycles destined for the EU from the US to its manufacturing facility in Thailand. This relocation was intended to grant the motorcycles Thai origin, exempting them from additional EU duties. Belgian customs authorities confirmed this with a binding origin information (BOI). However, the European Commission ordered Belgian customs to revoke the BOIs, stating that the relocation doesn’t grant Thai origin due to “anti-avoidance” measures outlined in Article 33 of the Delegated Act of the Union Customs Code (DA UCC).
According to Article 33 DA UCC, any processing or operations carried out in another country shall be deemed not to be economically justified if established based on available facts that the operation aimed to avoid additional import duties. Thus, the production fails to confer origin status, with additional duties on US motorcycles potentially still imposed based on the materials used.
Harley Davidson sought annulment of the decision to revoke the BOI, initially at the General Court and now on appeal at the Court of Justice. Following the General Court’s decision, the Court of Justice has dismissed the claim.”
The official appeal dismissal stated that Harley-Davidson failed to prove sufficient economic justification for their attempted production shift to Thailand, leading the EU Court of Justice to uphold the European Commission’s decision to deny Harley-Davidson’s request for lower tariffs.
Reports indicate that the General Court of the ECJ has also decided not to hear an appeal, making Harley’s unfortunate outcome final.
No reversing this means Harley bikes are on track to become very costly for our friends across the Atlantic. We’ll keep you updated on what this means for Harley-Davidson motorcycles heading to Europe; in the meantime, stay tuned… and don’t overlook your HOG, Americans!
What is the cost of riding a Harley bike in the EU?
Industry Insight: Why Ducati Capped Sales Below 200,000 Units Annually
A view of a Ducati Panigale V4. Media sourced from Ducati.
“The Message to Those Who See You Must Be Clear”
In a market where abundance reigns, Ducati champions the idea that exclusivity is paramount—especially for a prestigious motorcycle manufacturer.
Ducati’s longstanding CEO, Claudio Domenicali, shared his philosophy with MotoSprint:
“I prefer to think of us as a brand that doesn’t just produce motorcycles, but sells to the ‘Ducatisti’. Therefore, we cannot sell 200,000 motorcycles a year.
Other manufacturers have smaller bikes, but our entry-level model, the Monster, is 937cc.”
This ethos has benefitted Ducati, as they maintain hundreds of millions in sales, enabling them to support numerous specialized events, emphasizing what it means to be a “Ducatisti.”
For the Ducati brand, the power of restraint plays a critical role in market perception:
“It’s critical not only what a brand does, but what it refrains from doing to preserve its market position. Arriving atop a Ducati should convey a clear message.”
Recently, Ducati unveiled their 2025 Panigale V4, boasting the legendary Desmosedici Stradale V4 engine, delivering a robust 1,158cc of raw power, approximately 215.5 hp (160 kW) @ 13,000 rpm with torque ratings reaching 93.7 lb-ft (127 Nm) @ 9,500 rpm.
Congratulations to Ducati, and we eagerly anticipate what comes next!
