Apparently, Hawkeye and Black Widow have been replaced by a motorcycle–or that’s their black leather-clad love child
Come May, we’re going to see promotional tie-ins for The Avengers 2: Age of Ultron out the wazoo–probably the Hulk’s wazoo, no less. It’s only March and the first tie-in has already launched.
This one is actually worth your time.
In the first Marvel’s The Avengers film three years ago, Captain America rode a black 2012 Softail Slim motorcycle. The promotional tie-in contest, “Assemble Your Freedom,” allowed a special winner to be written into an Avengers comic book.
This year for the sequel, the stakes are even higher. Harley-Davidson and Marvel Studios have teamed up again with the The Avengers 2: Age of Ultron Sweepstakes. The grand prize for this contest is a brand-new, customized Harley-Davidson Street 750 Motorcycle.
Check out the directions for applying below!

Win the Motorcycle Featured in The Avengers 2: Age of Ultron
If the Harley-Davidson Street 750 sounds familiar, it’s because that’s the motorcycle heavily showcased in Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
At the 2014 San Diego Comic-Con, Harley-Davidson announced its plans to partner with Marvel Studios to promote the brand’s first electric motorcycle, Project LiveWire. The bike will be ridden by Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) in The Avengers 2: Age of Ultron.
“Our partnership with Marvel continues to provide thrilling platforms to showcase our latest innovations to existing and new fans of the brand,” said Dino Bernacchi, Director of US Marketing at Harley-Davidson Motor Company. “Not one, but two bikes will be featured in Avengers: Age of Ultron-Project LiveWire and the all-new Street 750, which is now available at Harley-Davidson dealerships.”
While Project Livewire isn’t being offered to customers just yet, you can get your hands on a unique Street 750.
