Harley-Davidson’s ‘Battle of The Kings; Now Has A Canadian Finalist
Battle of the Kings has it’s first-ever Canadian finalist, a dealership team from Calgary, has advanced in Harley-Davidson’s Battle of the Kings competition that highlights the artistic and creative capabilities of motorcycle customization. The competition had over 270 global entries, 21 of which were from Canada. Earlier this year, the top-three Canadian semifinalists were chosen based on public vote. From there, the top-three competed at the Roll the Bones event in Montreal where the Calgary team was chosen to become the Canadian National Finalist based on a panel vote. The team is now entering the global part of the competition and more than ever, needs Canada’s votes in order to compete as one of the top-four nationalists to advance to the global stage at the EICMA in Milan, Italy on November 5. Canadians can rally behind their national finalist by casting a vote at www.customkings.harley-davidson.com. The bike is named ‘Moonshine’. See page 8 for more information on the team and it’s entry.

2020 Yamaha YZF-R3 The 2020 Yamaha YZF-R3 is back for a return engagement. Sure, it may not have received much more than a mild helping of BNG, but it is still a great little motorcycle. Ever since the Yamaha R3 hit back in 2015 these motorcycles have become increasingly popular with beginners,
commuters, and lightweight trackday riders alike. As the entry-level machine into the world of Yamaha’s R-series sportbikes, the R3 fills the role of stepping-stone sportbike well. Even though the 2020 Yamaha R3 goes into the year unchanged, it still hits a a great price point for the base
version, the low cost of entry makes it attractive to many young riders. On the track or on the street, the 2020 Yamaha YZF-R3 is going to make a bunch of riders happy, no matter where they ride. continued on PG. 03
