Cake Reveals the Makka Polestar Edition

Just a few days ago, I posted an article about the new Cake Makka. Now there’s the Makka Polestar Edition.

Both Cake and Polestar are committed to an electrified, clean future of mobility, and this partnership that birthed the Cake Makka Polestar Edition makes perfect sense for both brands.

The bike is mostly just a fancy version of the Makka, but the tweaks to the model are notable. Let’s take a closer look.

Honda Is Auctioning Off Three Repsol CBR1000RRs for Charity

The Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation’s Ride for Kids is a big thing that’s happening in September. And Honda is a sponsor, and now it is auctioning off three Repsol-edition CBR1000RR sportbikes.

The bikes are from Honda’s own private collection, and each has zero miles. These bikes will be auctioned through Iconic Motorbikes and the proceeds will go to the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation.

The auction will happen from September 3- 10 and the ride will happen on September 12.

BMW Motorrad Reveals the Electric Concept CE 02

If you’re a young urbanite who loves all things two wheels, then you’re probably on board with the electrified future, at least BMW Motorrad’s Concept CE 02 assumes that.

The new concept bike from BMW is a sort of mashup of an e-bike, motorcycle, and scooter into one machine that’s designed to appeal to the next generation of riders.

This bike won’t blow away sportbikes on the road or cruise like a Harley, but that’s so far from the point. This is a new kind of electric motorbike.

There’s Still Time to Partake in the Ride for Kids Fundraising Campaign

If you’re the kind of rider who wants to help the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation, then listen up.

The Comoto family of brands, including Revzilla, Cycle Gear, and J&P Cycles announced a month-long Ride for Kids campaign.

I’m late in announcing it, but if you use Rever, you can still participate.

Cake Reveals a New Bike, the Makka

Cake has a new bike in its lineup called the Makka. This new bike is billed as a true commuting machine, and it sets itself apart from the Kalk and the Ösa that the company already sells.

The Makka is the third real design coming from Cake, and it looks like a good, purpose-built machine.

It’s built for the urbanite who needs something better than an electric bicycle but doesn’t need some big motorcycle either.

Harley-Davidson Reveals the Arctic Blast Street Glide Special

The new Harley-Davidson Arctic Blast Street Glide is a limited edition release of the Street Glide Special.

Harley recently revealed the new version of the bike. This comes after the Pan America and the Sportster S, so as you can imagine, this bike has had its limelight stolen.

This new bike has a brand new colorway. It’s a unique white, light blue, and dark blue blend that to me looks really good.

White Motorcycle Concepts Reveals Electric Land Speed Racer Design Sketches

White Motorcycle Concepts has revealed its WMC250EV land speed record-chasing motorcycle, and then shared some of the various design sketches it has.

This electric motorcycle has some of the most interesting aero technology of any motorcycle I’ve ever seen.

The aero is called the V-Air duct and it’s a genuinely interesting creation.

Harley-Davidson Reveals the All-New Sportster S

Harley-Davidson’s Sportster S is here to breathe some fresh life into the brand.

The new Sportster S features the Revolution Max powertrain that you’ll find in the new Pan America and is a feet-forward, sporty bike more powerful than the current lineup.

While a new Sportster S is a welcomed addition to the HD lineup, I’m not sure this is really the way to go. It’s not a bad move but not totally the right one. Let me explain.

Harley-Davidson and Rev’It! team up for Pan America Adventure Gear

Harley-Davidson and Rev’It! teamed up to bring a new line of adventure gear to the market.

The standard Harley gear simply won’t cut it on the trails, so this makes total sense.

It’s a smart move by both companies to work together and build a new line for this new bike.

Is a Zontes Triple Coming?

The Chinese bike brand Zontes has promised a three-cylinder naked motorcycle.

This bike will be a 1,000cc naked superbike that’s said to rival bikes like the Triumph Speed Triple RS.

Is this thing legit or is this just some hype coming out of the East? China’s motorcycle industry is strong and quickly changing, and this could be a major step forward.
