There’s a stone cottage tucked away in Netherton, Angus—a piece of Scottish soil teetering on the edge of history and modernity, once the home of Alexander ‘Sandy’ Davidson and his wife, Margaret. Their son would go on to father William A. Davidson, a name that would soon be synonymous with the unmistakable roar of Harley-Davidson motorcycles.

Ducati Multistrada V2 Could Get a Totally New Engine
According to some spy shots from a German publication, the Ducati Multistrada V2 will get a new engine, but it doesn’t sound like that is all that’s new for this bike. This is surprising to me because the Multistrada V2 isn’t that old, but hey, Ducati has to keep things moving along.

Kawasaki has rolled out the 2025 Versys 1100 in the UK, and despite a bigger heart beating within, you’d be forgiven for mistaking it for last year’s model. The 1100 doesn’t stray far from the Versys 1000 in looks—just a fresh set of graphics and a sneaky “1100” on the shrouds.

Gloves might seem minor, but they’re a huge deal when it comes to motorcycle gear. And having the best cruiser motorcycle gloves really matters. I’m a fan of cruiser motorcycles. I dig a good Harley, but I like any kind of cruiser from the small displacement Japanese-made ones to the big brutish Triumph Rocket 3.

The Z500 is now getting a little extra spice with a special Sugomi Edition—available only in France. While the Kawasaki Z500 Sugomi Edition is a looker, I’m not totally in love with this bike. I wanted to see a bit more in terms of upgrades.
