welcome to heavy duty!

Australia’s Number One V-Twin Magazine

Established in 1991, HEAVY DUTY magazine is a 132-page bi-monthly motorcycle magazine featuring in-depth road tests of new Harley-Davidsons, and the occasional Triumph and Indian Motorcycle as well features on custom choppers and V-twins (both old and new) from all over Australia and around the world.
HEAVY DUTY is available in newsagencies all across Australia, New Zealand, in most European countries and in the USA and Canada.

issue #197 out noW!

HUGE CALL!

Harley has released the CVO Road Glide ST and we reckon it’s the best stock H-D. Ever! You can read the full road test in HEAVY DUTY #197.

But is it the number one choice of 2024 for our road testers? We asked them to tell us their personal choice from the bikes they’ve ridden and tested in the last year. No rules or instructions. The results might surprise you but this is why we have a variety of riders.

Dave got his hands on a CVO Road Glide and formed a deep and meaningful relationship with it. Mick went west on the Ultra Limited to re-connect with old memories beyond the streetlights. He also rolled out a quick spin on a Breakout with lashings of Willie G layered on. Phil went chasing oysters in NZ, also aboard a Breakout.

Sturgis 2024 has been and gone but we’ve got the inside scoop from HEAVY DUTY Motorcycle Tours on the awesome cross-country ride to get there and back again.

Gasoline Alley held another of their Race Ya Mates days and we’ve scored the guff and pics. Morgan & Wacker Sydney held a grand opening, and we were there.

All of this and whole lot more in HEAVY DUTY 197, November/December 2024.

On sale 4th November 2024 from better bike shops and newsagents across Australia and New Zealand.

OUR BEST M8: SPECIAL EDITION

Harley-Davidson unleashed the Milwaukee-Eight (M8) engine with the 2017 model range and the all-new eight-valve engine has proven to be an awesome basis for cruisers, tourers and hot rods.

We’ve got lots of mates and we’re going to share them in a special collectors’ magazine that we’re calling OUR BEST M8.

We have gathered our favourite M8 road tests and customs together, along with M8-specific tech and a selection of fresh, new material devoted to the modern wonder that is the M8.

We are very proud of the high-quality presentation of HEAVY DUTY Magazine and OUR BEST M8 will be the same heavy 200gsm cover stock with coated 80gsm for the body text in a 148-page package. Proudly printed right here in Australia, and for just $17.95 you’ll get postage & tracking thrown in.

big twin memories

HEAVY DUTY wants to see pics of YOU and YOUR BIKE from back in the day!

This is for “Big Twin Memories”, a new section in the magazine showcasing what life was like when you first started your love affair with Harley, Indian, Triumph or whatever Big Twin made you smile. So dig out a couple of old photos and tell us about what got your engine started, what you were doing at the time or perhaps some of the rides you did in this great continent of ours.
