Motorcycles – So Many Choices

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.

Types of Motorcycles

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.

Motorcycle Brands

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 Engine Size

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.

Motorcycles and Prices

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.

Let’s set the scene. Supermoto motorcycles, for the uninitiated, are the renegades of two-wheel design. They’re built to dart through urban jungles with the agility of a fox and the grit of a back-road scrambler. With the RTS X, TVS has planted a flag firmly in this rebellious terrain.

These wheels not only diversify tire options but also hint at the Alpinista’s street-focused handling.

The 1997 Honda NSR500V isn’t just a motorcycle—it’s a monument to racing precision and engineering brilliance. At a recent auction, this factory-built, race-only machine shattered records, fetching over $267,000, buyer’s fees included. (The hammer dropped on a $250,000 bid.)

With fewer than two dozen ever produced, this NSR500V was never ridden, remaining boxed since its debut as a marketing display. That untouched legacy helped cement its place as the most expensive Japanese motorcycle ever sold.
