I like sharing Motorcyclists Magazine’s commute videos. I think they give you a good idea of what the bikes are really like. In this video, Adam Waheed rides the 2019 Husqvarna Svartpilen 701. It’s an interesting bike from a company that’s doing really cool things.

Roundup: The 3 Best Motorcycle News Stories of the Week – July 26, 2019

Heres all the motorcycle news you need to know this week.

Smart helmets, luxury helmets, and MV Agusta are in the news this week.

I write motorcycle news over at Web Bike World every weekday. At the end of the week, I like to do a little news roundup over here. I pull my favorite three news stories of the week. Here are the ones you need to know about.

Fly Racing Flux Air Mesh Motorcycle Jacket

Fly Racing builds awesome affordable gear like this Flux Air Mesh jacket.

A basic mesh riding jacket that won’t break the bank.

Fly Racing builds quality gear for riders who don’t want to blow a ton of money on their gear. That’s what I love about the company.

Are you going to get better gear if you spend more? Probably, but for the money, this company gives you quality stuff, such as the Flux Air Mesh jacket you see here.

Bell Scout Air Open Face Helmet

This Bell Scout Air helmet puts other so-called lightweight helmets to shame.

The Bell Scout Air is seriously lightweight.

If you want or need to wear a helmet but absolutely hate it, then may I suggest the Bell Scout Air. This helmet is super lightweight and still provides decent protection.

Is it the safest helmet out there? Of course not, but it’s reasonably priced and provides good protection for what you get. It also looks great and won’t weigh down your noggin.

2019 Honda CB650R MC Commute Review

This middleweight entry into Honda’s lineup sounds like a fantastic motorcycle.

This Honda CB650R is a great middleweight machine.

The guys at Motorcyclist Magazine love doing these MC Commute videos, and I really dig them too.

Adam Waheed is the man in the saddle for these videos and gives an off-the-cuff rundown of what they’re all about while making his way to work.

Best Business Casual Motorcycle Riding Gear from FortNine

Here’s the motorcycle gear every office-park professional needs to own.

Some of the best motorcycle gear for the office.

The guys over at FortNine put together some of the best motorcycle gear videos out there. I love featuring their stuff here because I think you should watch every video the channel produces.

The topic of this one? Business casual motorcycle riding gear. Pretty specific. Pretty darn useful recommendations. Read on and watch the video for the specifics.

Here are all the news stories that I think you need to know about this week.

Top Gear, Pikes Peak, and Harley in the news this week.

Every Friday, or at least I try to do it every Friday, I like to round up the motorcycle news posts that I write over at Web Bike World here on Wind Burned Eyes. I only choose my favorite stories. And here they are.

TCX Hero Street Motorcycle Boots

These boots provide good waterproof leather construction and an attractive style.

TCX makes some great motorcycle boots.

There are plenty of brands to turn to when it comes to motorcycle boots. Some are more expensive than others. One that I find has both a fair price and good, quality construction in an attractive pair of boots is TCX.

I previously wrote an article on the TCX X-Blend boots, and now I’d like to point out another pair of boots with similar style and construction, the Hero Street boots.
