HARLEY-DAVIDSON ANNOUNCES NATIONAL WINNER IN ‘BATTLE OF THE KINGS’ CONTEST

HARLEY-DAVIDSON CENTRE CYPRUS crowned the ‘HARLEY-DAVIDSON Custom King’ and advances to second stage of competition

Nicosia 30. 04, 2015 –After an invitation to all SOUTH EASTER EUROPEAN Harley-Davidson dealers to compete for the title of top custom bike builder, today the national winner is announced from five entrants and takes the title of ‘Custom King’ in SOUTH EASTERN EUROPE

Staff from authorised Harley-Davidson dealerships throughout the country competed against each other in the ‘Battle of the Kings’ contest to demonstrate their originality and imagination in applying their customization skills to the blank canvas of the Harley-Davidson Street™ 750 motorcycle, the latest model in the Harley-Davidson lineup. HARLEY-DAVIDSON CENTRE CYPRUS with the REVOLUTION X is selected as HARLEY-DAVIDSON SOUTH EASTERN EUROPE top custom bike builder and will compete with winners from other European countries during the second stage of the competition in May.

 

This second stage will see nine national champions go head to head during the European round from 11 May until 28 May. Five finalists based on public votes at http://www.h-d.com/customkings will then advance to the grand finale at the legendary customisation event Wheels and Waves in Biarritz, France from 11 to 14 June, where a jury will crown the European ‘Custom King’.

 

Our customization of the Street™ 750 (REVOLUTION X) features a cool and aggressive streetfighter. It’s a symmetrical design with customisation touches on all viewing angles.  More importantly, our design does not replicate the retro/café racer styles that we tend to see on the air-cooled Harley-Davidson models, mainly the Sportster models.

“A big thank you to all H-D customers, H-D enthusiasts and our friends that voted for the REVOLUTION X”, the Custom King Andreas Kokkinopoulos says.

“Customisation is an element of vision and character reflection! It is found in each and every one of us. So never stop being creative.”

 

‘We are thrilled by the response from our dealer network across Europe in the Battle of the Kings contest.’ said Mike Johnstone, Marketing Director for Harley-Davidson EMEA. ‘Harley-Davidson is synonymous with customization and this competition highlights the creativity and individuality of our dealers.’
