The world of motorcycles is a robust one. There’s a motorcycle designed for pretty much every use out there. The companies selling bikes are trying to appeal to every area of the market from the folks who love to cruise to the racers to the adventurers.
Then there’s the custom bike scene. Geniuses, craftsmen, artists take motorcycles and turn them into rolling pieces of art.
I try to cover a little bit of it all. From the new bikes rolling off the production lines at the various motorcycle manufacturers to the littlest of custom shops and individuals tinkering around in their sheds.
Here are the main types of motorcycles I typically write about on this site.
Note that this isn’t an exhaustive list, and the article linked above about the different types of motorcycles will explain the full picture.
The fun doesn’t stop with the various types of motorcycles. There are also tons of brands that sell each type of motorcycle. I’ve written an article on the different motorcycle brands out there, and that should give you a pretty clear idea of what you’ll find.
Motorcycle type and the different brands matter a ton, but I often find myself and other riders classifying motorcycles by their engine size or displacement.
This is typically how the industry categorizes motorcycles. You’ll see a 250cc class, a 600cc class, etc. To learn more, check out my article on the various engine sizes out there in the world of motorcycles.
Lastly, I want to talk about the price of motorcycles. Everyone has to work in a budget, and you can buy a nice bike for very little money, but you can also spend a ton.
Price is a big deciding factor, and I would hope you take it into account. Here are my thoughts on motorcycles and their prices.
Below are the latest articles on various motorcycles.
Matthias Ebenhoch, a German engineer looking for an escape from his desk job, picked up a 1978 Honda CB750F1 Super Sport with a straightforward plan: spend three years and €10,000 to build a clean café racer.
Instead, between career shifts, relocations, and renovating a century-old house, the project stretched into a grueling nine-year, 1,300-hour obsession.

With the arrival of the Can-Am Pulse and the American-made Land Moto District, the question isn’t “Will they work?” but “Will they work for YOU?”
If you’re looking to kill your gas bill, you’re likely staring at these four contenders. They all cost under $16,000, but their “personalities” couldn’t be more different.

You’re moving through a stretch of open road, conditions are right, the bike is doing exactly what it should. And the song playing in your helmet lines up perfectly with what’s happening around you. It’s one of those small things that’s impossible to forget.
Motorcycles and music have been tied together for a long time. Not in a forced, marketing-campaign way, but in a real, culturally embedded way that shows up in the songs themselves, in the events built around both, and in the way riders talk about what the road actually feels like.
