There’s a Fundraiser to Save the (Harley) Davidson Legacy Cottage

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. That little house—the Davidson Legacy Cottage—now marked for demolition, holds a link to the birth of an American icon.

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.

Husqvarna Updates the TE 300 Pro and FE 350 Pro

Ah, Husqvarna. The name alone conjures visions of wild trails and the promise of dirt-soaked exhilaration. Their latest updates to the TE 300 Pro and FE 350 Pro are like throwing gasoline on the fire that is competitive off-road racing.

Iconic Auctioneers Offers Ducati World Superbike Racing Panigale and Others in September

Come November, the NEC Classic Motor Show will see Iconic Auctioneers put a fascinating blend of motorcycles on the block, offering a glimpse into over a century of two-wheeled history. Think of it as a pilgrimage for bike lovers, where the past and present meet with a hint of whimsy.

New 2025 Kawasaki Versys 1100 Announced in the UK

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.

10 Best Cruiser Motorcycle Gloves

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.

10 Best Cruiser Motorcycle Pants and Jeans

These are the best pants and jeans you can wear if you’re a cruiser rider.

If you ride a Harley-Davidson or any other cruiser motorcycle for that matter, you really should try to have a pair of the best cruiser motorcycle pants or jeans covering your lower body. This is an important piece of gear.

Too many cruiser motorcycle riders go out there with their regular Levis or Lee jeans on. Covering yourself in standard denim isn’t effective. In this very scientific test, denim lasted only three seconds in a simulated crash.

Meet the New Leonart Lobo 450

Ah, Europe. A land brimming with boutique motorcycle makers, eager to offer a taste of the two-wheeled dream to the masses. Many of these plucky brands keep their headquarters local but send the real work to China. (Who is to judge?! A new bike is a new bike!)

Enter Leonart, a Spanish firm with a penchant for retro-styled, newbie-friendly cafe racers, cruisers, and scramblers that look like they rolled straight out of a custom shop.

Episode One of Klim’s Ride to the End Debuts New Gear

KLIM, known for its high-end adventure motorcycle gear, has taken a bold leap from crafting jackets and helmets to crafting stories. This fall, they’re rolling out a video series called “Ride to the End” (RTTE), and it’s as raw and unfiltered as the open road itself.

Check Out France’s Kawasaki Z500 Sugomi Edition

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.
