Rider Magazine April 2018 Retour à l'édition précédente

For the April 2018 issue of Rider we went full-on luxury with a comparison test of the Harley-Davidson Road Glide Ultra, Indian Roadmaster and new Yamaha Star Venture TC. What we found surprised us, and we know you’ll be amazed by just how competent and fun these three big bikes are to ride. For more grins we also took a quick ride on Harley’s new Softail Fat Bob 114, which offers asphalt-buckling performance and some very unique style. Triumph’s slimmed-down Tiger 1200 made for an interesting test on- and off-the-road in southern Spain, and we also turned on the way-back machine for a look at the eclectic Buell RS1200 in Retrospective. The Central Pennsylvania Wilds and the length and breadth of U.S. Route 50, the Backbone of America, are the subjects of our feature touring stories this month, and the Favorite Ride covers the scenic Nebo Loop in Colorado. The enormous motorcycle collection at Brim’s Imports gets a close look, and in Tips, Tricks & Answers we discuss how to safely transport a motorcycle as well as phenomenon of “edge fear” in Stayin Safe. We also serve up plenty of gear tests this month and our columnists burned the midnight oil to bring you several thousand words of wisdom. Enjoy the issue!
