I won’t start singing Under the Boardwalk, but I will sing the praises of the Victory Boardwalk, a cruiser that turns heads and turns corners, too. There is no doubting the retro styling with the swooping tank, deep valanced fenders with their Saxon-axe-shaped ends, the 60-spoke wire wheels, white-wall tyres...

Harley-Davidson’s big frame-mounted tourer, the Road Glide, is making a comeback. The bike was axed for 2014 and, as I reported back in August at the international launch for the new Rushmore Project Touring models, it would only be a short hiatus off the showroom floors. Harley chief financial officer...
