The Harley-Davidson Iron 883 is for those who want a quintessential Harley serving as a blank canvas with a huge scope for customization. Powering the Iron 883 is an 883cc air-cooled V-twin motor churning out a respectable 68Nm in BS6 compliant form. On the other hand, The Iron 883 is the Milwaukee manufacturer’s most affordable bike to not be made in India, and also part of Harley’s sizeable BS6 compliant range. Its new fatter front tyre, slightly larger fuel tank, and cleaner engine do compensate to an extent. At Rs 11.75 lakh (ex-showroom India), the BS6 Bobber costs a whole lakh and a half rupees more than the BS4 version. Triumph recently launched the BS6 iteration of its achingly gorgeous bobber in the country. The new JV will give Harley access to Hero’s vast dealership network. With this partnership, Harley-Davidson will still be able to sell and service its motorcycles in India after its exit which was announced in September this year. Hero will also develop and sell premium motorcycles under the Harley-Davidson brand. We need more like this in these uncertain times.Harley-Davidson and Hero MotoCorp have entered a strategic partnership under which the latter will sell and service Harley motorcycles in India.

It puts us in mind of the Apple TV ad from the 90s: Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels. The paint job is particularly bagus, and was executed by another friend of the shop, Solin.Ī Honda Dax is an unlikely candidate for a chopper, but this one is the proverbial fresh of air. Even the taillight is hand crafted, made by a friend on the neighbouring island of Java. The back end is entirely handmade, with aftermarket struts hooked up to a 10-inch rim from an obscure, vintage two-stroke Suzuki car.īraking is via a classic drum configuration and a custom-made white leather seat sits above. The bars were fabricated in-house, and tucked between the girder tubes is a yellow-lensed headlight that Zambrag picked up at the Yokohama Hot Rod Custom Show in Japan last year. Rather than bolt on a set of extended forks, Zambrag and his crew have built a girder setup, terminated with a 17-inch rim from local maker TDR attached via a brakeless hub. The middle of the frame is mostly stock, but the back is completely new and the garage has built a new fuel cell inside, topped off with a neat custom cap. Working with two helpers in the garage, Zambrag wedged the engine into a modified Honda Dax frame. Unfortunately Zambrag doesn’t speak much English and we don’t speak any Indonesian…but between us we managed to piece together a few details. Shop boss Zambrag Candra tells us it’s built around a 1996 Honda C100 engine-a bulletproof air-cooled single that should give a few more decades of trouble-free service. It’s called the ‘Lil’ Pussy chopper’ and was commissioned by a local client, Wayan Tigana. We were smiling too, as soon as we clapped eyes on this fun little ride, which is essentially a blend of Honda Dax and Super Cub parts, with a side order of irreverence thrown in. They usually build classic old school choppers with sissy bars, but scroll down their Instagram feed and you’ll see smiles and kids goofing off around the bikes. The fellas at Zambrag Garage in Bali don’t fit this mold. For every Technicolor humorist like Rick Fairless, there are ten stony-faced Dyna bros posing by their bikes in the ubiquitous flannels, work shorts and Vans.
At the risk of making a sweeping statement, most chopper builders take themselves very seriously.
