H-D®MOTO SKILLS ASIA 2025, the first competition in which representatives from 11 Asian countries participate to evaluate Harley-Davidson bike operation capabilities, was held for the first time at the event. A total of four players, Kim Joon-ho, Kim Won-cheol, Park Jung-hak, and Yoo Chan-geun, who were selected to represent Korea after fierce national qualifiers, participated in the competition with the national flag.
In particular, after tense competition with national players from each country in the final, South Korea's Kim Joon-ho won the glorious first championship. Kim Joon-ho is a skilled rider who has won the U.S. Slalom competition and has contributed to spreading the two-wheeled safety driving culture in Korea. The slalom is a competition in which police and civilians compete for safe bike operation skills together, and it plays an important role in bike culture as it is designated as a required course for the Saika police in the United States.
The South Korean team, which won the inaugural H-D®MOTO SKILLS ASIA competition, deeply thanked the institutions and colleagues for their help until this achievement.
First, the Korean team thanked the National Police Agency for Human Resources Development. The National Police Human Resources Development Institute has been conducting two-wheeled traffic safety education regularly since 2024 as part of its service to the people, and all Korean national teams have completed the training. In particular, the team mentioned Cho Sung-hyun, the head of the Traffic Safety Education Center, and Park Sang-soo, a professor in charge of large two-wheeled vehicles, and said that Professor Park Sang-soo was appointed as the director to receive the education and training necessary for the competition. This is meaningful in that it has been achieved through cooperation with public institutions.
The national team also stressed that the efforts and encouragement of its fellow riders helped greatly, saying, `Although we could not participate in this competition together, this victory would not have been possible without the dedicated help of our teammates who practiced together during the selection process.'
In addition, Harley Davidson Korea CEO Lee Gye-woong and all of the executives and employees provided full support for the Korean national team, including the full cost of uniforms and accommodation, and provided a strong support for the championship.
The victory of H-D®MOTO SKILLS ASIA was an important opportunity to show the capabilities of Korean motorcycle culture to Asia. The H-D®MOTO SKILLS culture, which simultaneously pursues the joy and skill of riding through safety-based slalom technology, is expected to spread further with the performances of Kim Joon-ho and the Korean national team.
The victory was achieved by combining systematic education from public institutions, fellowship, and corporate support. These results show the maturity and potential of the Korean biking community, and it is expected that the passion and challenge of everyone who enjoys H-D®MOTO SKILLS in the future will contribute to promoting Korea's safe riding culture.
