The April 2025 edition of LHR Motorcycle Magazine delivers a high-octane mix of gritty storytelling, expert reviews, and powerful visuals, capturing the raw essence of South Africa’s motorcycle culture. This month’s theme, “Wheels of Change”, explores the shifting dynamics of the local and global biker scene—from new generation riders embracing old-school values, to the challenges faced by motorcycle clubs in an increasingly commercial world.
Inside, we go full throttle with a feature on the 2025 Harley-Davidson Low Rider ST, tested on the Garden Route with brutal honesty. We also profile rising female club leaders who are not just riding but redefining sisterhood in the MCC space. A provocative investigative article questions whether motorcycle club regulating bodies are still truly serving their communities or drifting into political irrelevance.
The April issue also highlights the Gauteng Biker Unity Ride, covering the massive turnout, police cooperation, and the underlying social tensions that sparked debate. Our Brotherhood & Sisterhood section dives into how real connection is formed beyond patches and titles, offering reader-submitted stories that’ll hit you in the gut.
For collectors and tech lovers, we showcase 5 vintage bikes restored with modern tech, and review the best locally available smart gear for under R2,000. The edition rounds out with club calendar events, reader photo spreads, and a powerful spotlight on Kids Can Cancer Foundation, reminding us that being part of a club is about more than bikes—it’s about purpose.
Bold. Honest. 100% South African.
The April 2025 issue is a must-read for every rider who believes motorcycles are more than machines—they’re a way of life.
