The 2025 Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide RR Introduces A New Era of Performance

Harley-Davidson doesn’t do things halfway. When they set out to dominate the racetrack, they do it with full-throttle aggression. When they take that same fire and put it on the street, they create something legendary.

Enter the 2025 Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide RR—a motorcycle born from the King of the Baggers series, forged in the fires of competition, and now unleashed in a street-legal form. Limited to just 131 hand-built machines, this bike isn’t just another special edition—it’s a roaring declaration of Harley’s commitment to performance.

Stefan Pierer Has Officially Resigned From KTM AG

The king is stepping back, but not too far. After 33 years at the helm, Stefan Pierer has officially resigned from KTM AG, leaving CEO Gottfried Neumeister to clean up the mess. The company has been in self-administration since November, weighed down by more than €2 billion in liabilities.

The plan? Pay creditors a 30% cash quota—about €548 million—while scrambling to raise €800 million in fresh capital. Meanwhile, KTM’s production lines have been idle since mid-December.

The Honda Pokémon Concept Motorcycle

Honda’s engineers must have been on a serious nostalgia trip because their latest creation isn’t a high-revving superbike or a whisper-quiet EV—it’s a Pokémon. Yes, you read that right.

The Honda Koraidon Project, a collaboration with The Pokémon Company, is a full-sized, rideable version of Koraidon, the legendary creature from Pokémon Scarlet.

Check Out the Jawa 350 Legacy Edition

Jawa Motorcycles isn’t the first name that rolls off the tongue when talking about retro-styled cruisers, but maybe it should be. Once a Czech legend, now an Indian underdog, Jawa has been quietly making waves in the mid-sized cruiser scene.

To mark the first anniversary of its modern 350, the brand has rolled out the Jawa 350 Legacy Edition—only 500 units, priced at an enticing $2,400.

Who Saved KTM? A Mystery

KTM’s been on the ropes, bleeding cash and goodwill like a bad high-side at full lean. Insolvency, layoffs, busted camshafts, and a MotoGP team playing the corporate version of musical chairs.

The Austrian powerhouse even offloaded MV Agusta just months after taking the reins. Stefan Pierer, the man who built KTM into a juggernaut, stepped down—but only halfway, because he’s still hanging around as co-CEO.

Rumor: BMW Could Buy KTM

BMW could buy KTM? That’s the latest rumor rattling the motorcycle world like an overworked clutch basket. And given KTM’s recent track record—denying trouble before tumbling headfirst into it—this one might have legs.

The Austrian brand has been on shaky financial ground, and with a court date looming, insiders claim BMW Motorrad is poised to take the reins.

BMW Motorrad Days Americas Are Back in 2025

If you missed the last BMW Motorrad Days Americas, don’t make the same mistake twice. For the third time ever, BMW is bringing its signature celebration of two-wheeled excellence back to the States in 2025.

What started as a centennial blowout has become a full-throttle tradition, a meeting ground for speed junkies, vintage purists, and everyday riders who just love the blue-and-white roundel.

Incoming 2025 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy Grey Ghost Icon Model

Harley-Davidson’s upcoming 2025 Icon model is set to be a tribute to the 35th anniversary of the iconic Fat Boy, and it will be called the Fat Boy Grey Ghost.

Bimota Roars Back into World Superbike with Kawasaki Power

The Bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team unveiled its 2025 colors, marking the company’s first return to the series since 2014.

It’s Likely That Damon Motorcycles Is In Trouble

Damon Motorcycles burst onto the scene promising a two-wheeled revolution—200 horsepower, 200 miles of range, and safety tech that could give fighter jets a run for their money.

But after years of shifting deadlines, factory relocations, and high-profile executive departures, the dream seems stuck in neutral. If you’ve placed a deposit on a Damon HyperSport or HyperFighter, the odds of ever seeing your bike roll into your garage are getting slimmer by the day.
