Latest news on European Bike Week 2022
Information about the European Bike Week 2022There are a few changes this year, but as previously reported, Harley-Davidson 2022 restart its presence at Lake Faaker See.
Although slightly fewer exhibitors are expected, with thirteen Harley-Davidson dealers on site, this is a familiar sight. Nevertheless, they probably have to save money, so this year the main stage has been moved to the Harley Bar. The former stage area is now the EXPO area, featuring the current model range from Harley-Davidson to be found.
Harley-Davidson authorized dealer from Germany
Harley-Davidson Fashion Store from Sylt will be traveling to Lake Faaker See with its wide range of Harley-Davidson products, Harley-Davidson Hamburg, Rhein-Neckar, H-D Würzburg, and the Harley Factory Group will also be among the German dealers. The Harley Factory Group will be bringing an unusual bike, or rather, a very unusual one!
It would be nice if Harley-Davidson could pull something else out of the hat, as the 2022 Icon series model is already long overdue. Last year, Harley-Davidson reported that we could expect a new model from the Icon series every year. Although very few people can afford to buy a model from this series, it would still be nice to see them in person, and the opportunity at Lake Faaker See would be ideal for this.
Ford is a Harley-Davidson partner at Lake Faaker See for the first time
To the left of the H-D Expo is Ford, Harley-Davidson's new partner, with its latest Raptor and Ranger pickup models, while the Mustang Mach3 covers the electric theme. The brand-new Ford Bronco is also set to be unveiled at Lake Faaker See.
The European Bike Week overview map
This is the current site plan for European Bike Week 2022. Here you can see what we can find where in Harley Village this year. The biggest change is in the H-D Platz area, where the stage used to be. Well, I guess we'll just have to accept that, but at least admission remains free.
The official program for European Bike Week
The official Harley-Davidson program for European Bike Week will only be available via the app and not as a flyer. In the app “The Enthusiast” (Apple) (Google), the official program for European Bike Week will be posted online approximately one week before the event.
Visitors from Milwaukee?
It is still a rumor that Bill Davidson will be at Lake Faaker See this year, but the chances are very good.

The party is happening at Harley Village in the Harley Bar and Saloon Bar area. And don't forget that the Italians will also be there with their Vida Loca Bar on the H-D Plaza.
European Bike Week Parade
The European Bike Week Parade will take place as usual on Saturday, September 10. It is one of the largest motorcycle parades in Europe. The lineup is expected to be on Rosentalstraße in Latschach again.

A selection of the new Custom Factory Paint models from the APEX series is expected at European Bike Week.
The plan is to exhibit a selection of the new APEX CUSTOM FACTORY PAINT MODELS 2022 in the H-D Expo area. However, they are still on their way by sea and, if all goes well, some of them will be on display at European Bike Week. In any case, there seems to be a great deal of interest in the APEX Factory series.

Harley-Davidson test rides
The Harley-Davidson test rides will take place in 2022 at the familiar location above the train station at Lake Faaker See. The link for online reservations will be available one week before the start of the event. Starting this year, you can reserve your bike online and then just show your driver's license on site to get the exact bike you reserved online. Approximately 50 to 60 Harley-Davidson motorcycles from the current model range will be available for free test rides.
Serial 1 test drives
Harley-Davidson will set up a Serial 1 e-bike area where visitors can test ride the Serial 1 e-bike model range. The company will also present LiveWire from the USA, showcasing the LiveWire electric motorcycle for the first time in Europe.
The main stage
The main stage will not be there as usual in 2022; the party will take place in the Saloon Bar and the Harley Bar. The H-D Stage is now in the Halrey Bar tent. This decision, or cost-cutting measure, comes as a real surprise. Now we know that the Vida Loca Bar can also create a great atmosphere, and it will be there in the H-D Plaza.
One-way street regulation
According to current information, the one-way street regulation at Lake Faak will be set up as usual from Tuesday.

Velden on Lake Wörthersee
Events in Velden will never be the same again!
This year, a lot is likely to change in Velden. According to the information available so far, there will be less going on there, or let's put it this way, they generally want to have fewer motor events there. We'll have to wait and see, but I wouldn't get my hopes up that everything will stay the same. According to Harley site information, the city of Velden am Wörthersee is not providing any public spaces to the organizer. Without these spaces, everything changes.
It is clear that there will only be vendor stands on some private properties, so we will have to see what happens there. The restaurants will be open, so you can still make a detour to Velden. It is not yet known what the new traffic regulations will look like during European Bike Week; the request to the mayor is still pending.
EUROPEAN BIKE WEEK 2022
European Bike Week will take place from September 6 to 11, 2022, at Lake Faaker See in Austria.
