Rockstar Energy is sponsoring Harley-Davidson‘s 110th anniversary celebration, supporting several events through the year including the Aug. 28-Sept. 1 anniversary party itself. As part of the partnership, four special edition Harley-Davidson motorcycles were produced with the energy drink manufacturer’s yellow and black color scheme.
The four motorcycles – a Softail Slim, a Street Bob, a Street Glide and an Iron 883 – were produced by Rusty Coones of Illusion Motorcycles in Westminster, Calif. The four Rockstar Harley-Davidsons were displayed at Daytona Bike and will later appear at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally and in Milwaukee for the 110th anniversary party.
Two of those limited edition Rockstar Harley-Davidson motorcycles are being given away in a pair of contests, one that’s open to the general public and another that’s available for Harley Owners Group members. Continue Reading »
Japanese shop Bike-O is holding a draw with a rather unique grand prize: a used 2008 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide with a life-sized figure of anime character Fujiko Mine from the long-running anime and manga series “Lupin III“.
We’re not sure whether the motorcycle or the statue is supposed to be the bigger prize here, to be honest. Obviously, we’d rather have an actual road-worthy Harley-Davidson Electra Glide with a custom “champagne pink” paint job.
But you have to figure there’s a segment of the Japanese population that is more interested in the one-of-a-kind Fujiko statue. Continue Reading »
Harley-Davidson and Marvel Comics are teaming up once more for another cross-promotional promotion, this time in support of the upcoming film “Iron Man 3“.

For the third installment of the Iron Man series starring Robert Downey Jr., Harley-Davidson and Marvel announced the “Iron Man 3 – Man & Machine” contest. One winner will win a custom Street Bob, and will be featured, along with four other selected winners, in a special edition comic book as members of a motorcycle riding group of super heroes known as “Road Force”. All five winners will also receive a trip to Comic-Con International in San Diego for the unveiling of their comic book likenesses.

Suzuki created some negative headlines of late with its recent decision to shut down the automotive side of its business in the U.S. to focus on its powersports lines. What some people may forget is Suzuki has only been selling cars in the U.S. since 1985. Suzuki’s history with motorcycles goes back much further.
The Japanese manufacturer officially entered the American market on Aug. 16, 1963, making 2013 Suzuki’s 50th anniversary in the U.S. To mark its golden anniversary, Suzuki will be giving away a number of prizes every month. Prizes vary from month to month but every two months Suzuki will be giving away a new motorcycle or ATV. The first vehicle prize is a 2013 Suzuki RM-Z450 which will be awarded on Feb. 16.
The celebrations come to a head Aug. 16 with a customer appreciation event at the Indianapolis MotoGP race weekend. Continue Reading »
