I have covered motorcycle news on this site for years, but now it has moved to Substack where I hope you choose to subscribe to the newsletter and receive stories directly in your inbox.
The rumble of a new engine echoes down the highway of life, and Suzuki, bless their hearts, has uncorked a pair of beauties for the open road: the 2026 GSX-8T and GSX-8TT.
I mentioned these were coming not long ago, and they’re here. These bikes are an ode to the golden age of riding, with a wink and a nod to the future. The GSX-8T is a handsome motorcycle, and the GSX-8TT is its sportier sibling.
Continue reading “Suzuki Launches the GSX-8T and GSX-8TT and They’re Gorgeous”Here’s the Thunderbike RockSTar, a custom machine born from the bones of a Harley-Davidson Low Rider ST.
This particular creation serves as a respectful nod to the factory’s striking “Tobacco Fade” paint, a finish Thunderbike carefully preserved even as they wove in a series of subtle, yet truly impactful, custom touches.
Continue reading “Thunderbike RockSTar Harley-Davidson Low Rider ST Custom”The rumor mill, that tireless beast, has been grinding out tales of a new Kawasaki, perhaps a revival of the beloved ZRX. The Kawasaki ZRX was a beast, and it would be so cool to see it make it back into the lineup.
But hold your horses, for the tea leaves, as seen in patent filings and type approvals across the oceans, whisper a different truth. It seems the green machine is cooking up a Z1100 SE. That is still a welcome addition to Team Green’s lineup.
Continue reading “Could a New Kawasaki ZRX Come Next Year or Is it Something Else?”The road, my friends, is a tapestry woven with endless tales, and today’s yarn spins around a pint-sized marvel. Feast your eyes on the CFMOTO Papio XO-1, a machine that whispers sweet nothings of yesteryear’s speed and daring, all wrapped up in a package barely larger than a hound dog.
This is a defiant nod to the literbikes and the over-engineered speed demons you see on the road and track. The Papio XO-1 is motorcycling at its best. It looks small. It looks fun. And it won’t break the bank either.
Continue reading “The Fully Faired CFMoto Papio XO-1 Brings Retro Min-Moto Cool”Big news in the world of two-wheeled racing: Liberty Media, the company that runs Formula 1, just got the green light to take over MotoGP. This is a massive shake-up for the sport, and it’s got a lot of people talking.
The official line is that this acquisition is all about boosting MotoGP’s global appeal and finding new ways to reach a wider audience. Think more eyes on the races, more fans in the stands, and potentially more money flowing into the sport.

It encompasses over 250 million acres, stretching from the arid Southwest to the rugged Alaskan frontier. That’s 40% of public land in the country. Just a reminder, it belongs to all of us.
These are the nation’s shared natural resources, critical habitats, and recreational grounds. Adventure and off-road riders should be pissed, hunters, fishermen, campers, and every goddamn American should too.
Continue reading “The Sale of Public Land: A 250 Million Acre Disaster for America”The CFMoto 500SR Voom. That’s a terrible name for what is potentially a super cool bike, a sportbike that is stirring up memories of those wild and wonderful 400cc rockets from the late ’80s and early ’90s.
The Voom’s got a look that’ll make your heart skip a beat, with a curved front and those “retro” round headlights that are actually ram-air intakes. Sneaky, right? And under the sleek bodywork, she packs a punch with a 78-hp, 499cc inline-four engine.
Continue reading “A New CFMoto 500SR Voom Coming Soon. Will it Come to the US?”If you’re a connoisseur of two-wheeled majesty, listen up. Word on the wind is MV Agusta, those maestros of Italian thunder, have unleashed a machine that’ll make your soul hum. This comes fresh on the heels of MV Agusta’s recent announcement about a new direction for the company.
It’s the Superveloce 1000 Ago, a tribute to a legend named Agostini, and they’re only making 83 of ’em. Just 83! That’s rarer than a perfect alignment of stars on a summer night.
Continue reading “Feast Your Eyes on the MV Agusta Superveloce 1000 Ago”Word’s come down the wire, folks, that Suzuki’s got a couple of new irons in the fire for the 2026 riding season. Seems the California Air Resources Board, they’re the ones who keep tabs on these things, has given the nod to two fresh machines: the GSX-8T and its kin, the GSX-8TT.
Now, if you’re a rider with a bit of wanderlust, this news ought to perk your ears right up. Think of the GSX-8R built for those long hauls you’re always wanting to take.
Continue reading “The Suzuki GSX-8T and GSX-8TT Are Coming”MV Agusta, a name that resonates with the rumble of grand machines and the whispers of history, is charting a fresh course.
After a period under Pierer Mobility (which is KTM), the Italian marque has returned to the full ownership of the Sardarov family, reclaiming its independent spirit. Now I have an MV Agusta Update
