ANNUAL BATTLE<br />

KINGS EVENT<br />
CONTINUES<br />
TO GROW<br />

Started in 2015, the Battle of the Kings (BOTK) custom build<br />
competition is the largest dealer custom bike build competition<br />
in the world. Running in many markets including: Europe,<br />
Middle East and Africa (EMEA) and Japan, Battle of the Kings is<br />
a great event for showcasing Harley-Davidson’s leadership in<br />
customization, including their vast range of parts and accessories<br />
amidst an increasingly competitive market. BOTK emphasizes<br />
the fact that Harley-Davidson ® dealers are custom<br />
experts and since 2015, H-D ® dealers have submitted over<br />
500 custom builds based on Street and Sportster ® platforms.<br />
Half way into <strong>2018</strong>, more than 220 dealers in EMEA have<br />
already taken part in the competition! In an effort to create<br />
brand and product relevance for new and younger riders, Harley-Davidson<br />
has upped their game by expanding BOTK into<br />
Australia, Brazil, China, Columbia, India, Japan, Mexico and<br />
Thailand for the first time. Because of this expansion, Harley-<br />
Davidson is putting unique designs and the possibilities of<br />
customization within the reach of new and younger riders.<br />
The BOTK competition has 4 simple entry rules:<br />
• The base model must be a Harley-Davidson ® Dark Custom <br />
motorcycle; which in <strong>2018</strong> also includes two new Softail ®<br />
models – Street Bob ® and Fat Bob ®<br />
• The customization budget should be within 6,000 Euros (or<br />
equivalent amount in other currencies)<br />
• At least half of the custom parts and accessories must come<br />
from the official Harley-Davidson ® range<br />
• The motorcycle eventually must be road legal and sold at<br />
6,000 Euros above the retail price<br />
As regional winners are decided, the custom bike creations<br />
have been displayed at numerous motorcycle and lifestyle<br />
events, with a focus on attracting competitor owners. Harley-<br />
Davidson will announce the final winner (from the slew of regional<br />
winners) of the now international competition at Italy’s<br />
EICMA motorcycle show this November.<br />
Take a look at four of the current winners moving on to the<br />
finals on the left.<br />
