Enter Y’s Gear, the Yamaha factory’s own in-house custom shop, answering the call of those who want their bike to look as fast as it rides.

The Bimota KB4RC Cafe Racer Will Go On Sale March 25

The Bimota KB4RC is proof the company never does anything boring—part cafe racer art, part engineering flex, and entirely lust-worthy.

The Bimota machine is a cocktail of Italian craftsmanship and Japanese muscle, blending a hand-assembled chassis with Kawasaki’s snarling 1,043cc inline-four. That’s 140 horses wrapped in a lightweight frame, tuned not just for speed but for sheer riding pleasure.

In-Depth Review: BYKR Mesh Motorcycle Jacket

For the last several weeks, I’ve been wearing my new BYKR Mesh Motorcycle Jacket. With the weather warming up in my neck of the woods. This jacket is getting more applicable.

I wanted to test out how well this jacket would perform on the road. BYKR’s jacket is super affordable, and having a ton of other jackets more than three times the price, I was curious how this one would stack up.

The Auction of Energica: The Whole Company Is For Sale For Cheap

The electric motorcycle business ain’t for the faint of heart. Ask Energica. Once a promising name in the EV world, now another tombstone in the growing graveyard of electric bike companies. Lack of funding, dwindling sales, or just bad business—take your pick, but the result is the same. Now the auction of Energica is happening.

Energica threw in the towel last October, unable to pay off its creditors or secure a financial lifeline. Now, the whole operation is up for grabs, set to be auctioned off to the highest bidder.

Husqvarna has raised the stakes for rider confidence. Their new Premium Manufacturer’s Warranty isn’t just a handshake and a promise—it’s a 4-year, no-cost safety net for select models, covering the Norden 901, Norden 901 Expedition, Svartpilen 801, and Vitpilen 801.

Cardo and Schuberth to Launch SC EDGE Communication System

The road ahead just got a little quieter—or at least, a lot clearer. Cardo Systems and Schuberth are back together, rekindling a partnership that first turned heads in 2009 with the SRC system. Their latest brainchild, the SC EDGE, is set to roll out in 2025, giving riders seamless, top-tier communication without the fuss.

Built on Cardo’s PACKTALK EDGE platform, the SC EDGE is a tailor-made fit for Schuberth’s premium helmets, including the C5 Carbon, E2 Carbon, and the all-new J2. This isn’t just another Bluetooth headset—this is plug-and-play at its finest, with pre-fitted speakers, an integrated antenna, and a design that vanishes into the helmet like it was born there.

BMW R 1300 R, R 1300 RS, R 1300 RT Will Come in 2026

BMW’s at it again, playing its favorite game of “How Many Bikes Can We Build from One Engine?” The BMW R 1300 GS got things rolling, but we all knew it wouldn’t be long before that 1,300cc Boxer found its way into a few siblings.

Thanks to some fresh EPA paperwork, we now have proof: the R 1300 R, R 1300 RS, and R 1300 RT are on their way for 2026. That’s a naked roadster, a faired sport-tourer, and a full-dress tourer, all borrowing from the GS’s playbook—whether they’ll get the same 145-horsepower punch remains to be seen.
