Custom Harley-Davidson Knucklehead by Infinity Motorcycle

Masumi Tsuchino of Japan’s Infinity Motorcycle has crafted “BT6,” a stark and purposeful board tracker that reimagines American racing history through a “what if” lens.

Commissioned by S&S Cycle for their 2025 Vintage Tour, the build asks what a 1920s board track racer might have looked like if S&S had existed during the sport’s golden era. Tsuchino, a former Toyota mechanic with a penchant for historical precision, utilized a modified 1936 Harley-Davidson Knucklehead frame and a set of vintage girder forks to create a silhouette that feels like a recovered artifact.

Norton-Harley ‘Norley’ Custom Motorcycle by Cédric Camiade

This is “The Onyx,” a “Norley” forged by the hands of a French artisan named Cédric Camiade. A Norley, for the uninitiated, is a rare beast: a Harley-Davidson engine nestled within the graceful lines of a Norton Featherbed frame.

Cédric, a man steeped in the world of motorcycles, found his inspiration for this particular build while in Sri Lanka, mesmerized by a deep black onyx stone. The result? A motorcycle that wears that same elegance, a stunning interplay of black bodywork and gleaming chrome.

The roar of a V-twin, the very heartbeat of a Harley-Davidson, is a sound that has long defined a company and a culture. But now, a new voice is stepping into the choir, not from the world of engines and chrome, but from Topgolf, to turn things around.

Harley-Davidson has announced that Artie Starrs, a man known for his work at Topgolf, will be taking the helm as its new CEO. This appointment is more than just a changing of the guard; it’s a bold new direction for the Motor Company.

Thunderbike RockSTar Harley-Davidson Low Rider ST Custom

Here’s the Thunderbike RockSTar, a custom machine born from the bones of a Harley-Davidson Low Rider ST.

Here’s a look at “Melissa,” a custom 1998 Harley-Davidson Sportster 1200 Chopper, crafted by Pittsburgh musician Dan Ford.

This machine, brought to life just in time for the Glory Daze event, embodies the classic Sportster chopper aesthetic: a flame-adorned tank, a distinctive custom sissy bar, and a robust springer front end. Its black and yellow color scheme is a clear nod to its Pittsburgh origins.

Zeitz Retains Harley-Davidson CEO Position for Now

In a boardroom showdown that could’ve rivaled a barroom brawl, Harley-Davidson’s top brass managed to keep their seats—if only by the skin of their teeth.

The annual shareholders meeting saw activist investor H Partners, wielding a hefty 9.1% stake, aiming to oust CEO Jochen Zeitz and board members Thomas Linebarger and Sara Levinson. Their gripe? A cocktail of declining sales, a 31% stock slump, and a culture they claimed was losing its roar.
