"This time round, we cast our eyes back to the past in order to bring these priceless and timeless works of art into focus."

Harley-Davidson South Eastern Europe has launched a unique com- petition for the region, for riders to win the ultimate prize - their very own 2016 Iron 883. The competition will run to all South Eastern Europe countries including Malta from 1st of March until 15 May 2016. To enter the competition, riders simply need to book a test ride on one of Harley-Davidson's Dark Cus- tom bikes. Customers in Malta can choose from one of either the Har- ley-Davidson Street 750, Iron 883 or Forty-Eight by visiting the website testridesee.harley-davidson.com, book the test ride and select Harley- Davidson Malta. The final winner will be selected following a draw. Designed to inspire individual ex- pression through easy customisa- tion, the Iron 883™ is refreshed for 2016. The new Iron 883 is powered by an 883cc Evolution V-Twin en- gine tuned to blast away from stop lights. Drawing inspiration from ga- rage-built bobbers past and present, is intentionally rough and rugged around the edges and compromises on none of the Harley-Davidson® brand attributes of individuality, re- bellion and freedom. Dark Custom is the underground, contemporary face of Harley-Davidson; stripped- down and styled with an authentic retro-inspired slant, Dark Custom bikes feature matte or blacked-out finishes, vintage cues and accessible pricing to attract new entrants to the brand.
