Modular helmets are all the rage right now. The Shark EVO One 2 Helmet is a killer modular helmet that has a unique flip-up chin bar.
The EVO One 2’s chin bar flips all the way to the back of the helmet so it’s fully out of the way. This makes it easy to rock the helmet like an open face without the chin bar catching the wind like with most modular helmets.

Continue reading “Roundup: 3 Best Motorcycle News Stories of the Week – January 31, 2020”I recently had the chance to sit down and chat with Ernest Lee of Confederate Motorcycles. We talked all things Confederate, but one thing that stood out to me was that he said the new Hellcat motorcycle may come out this year. I’m all for a 2020 release date for the new Hellcat
The new Hellcat Concept bike last got press back in 2018. The new concept for the next Hellcat (pictured above) looks good. The company turned to Harley-Davidson for help this time around.
Continue reading “Confederate Motorcycles May Release a New Hellcat This Year”There are all sorts of things you can do with Harley-Davidson motorcycles. Customizing one of these bikes is easier than ever before thanks to the long list of parts available and this Dyna Street Tracker by Robot Motorwork is a perfect example.
Muhammad Robbi, the founder of Indonesia’s Robot Motorwork, is the man who decided to take this Dyna and turn it into a seriously unique machine. He started with a 2014 Harley Dyna that needed a lot of work.

The builder is Pablo Sebastian from Spain. He decided to make the bike into a cafe racer, but he pulled the Goldwing’s engine out and replaced it with a Honda Valkyrie engine. Needless to say, this bike is a powerhouse.

Heck, I do, too. That’s why it’s important to find the best open-face motorcycle helmets out there.
I also don’t like to spend a boatload on my motorcycle gear. I value safety, but that safety can be had at very reasonable prices. There are plenty of motorcycle helmets out there for prices that won’t break the bank
With that in mind, let’s look at some of the best open-face motorcycles under $100. Note that these helmets have an MSRP of under $100 or right at $100. Many sellers have discounts that would put the actual price to you below that dollar amount.
