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.

Its simplicity and reliability earned fans worldwide, but rarely did it find its way into the custom spotlight—until Radite Octavanka had his say. This custom Suzuki A100 cafe racer is something else.

Book Review – ‘The Motorcycle: Design, Art, Desire’ by Charles M Falco and Ultan Guilfoyle

This is a coffee-table book of grandeur—a piece of art itself, designed to celebrate the soul of motorcycles through the ages. But be warned, it may just pull you into a world of chrome and combustion you never knew you needed.

More Public Land Is About to Disappear for Outdoorsmen and Motorcyclists

Utah’s lawsuit against the Bureau of Land Management isn’t just a swipe at bureaucracy—it’s a direct threat to America’s public lands and by extension the people who use them, like outdoorsmen and motorcyclists. The bottom line more public land is about to disappear, or at the very least be at risk of doing so.

The state’s bid to seize 18 million acres managed by the federal government masks a grim motive: selling off our cherished spaces to developers and extractive industries. While the campaign postures as a fight for state control, it’s less about Utahans managing Utah and more about paving over wilderness to make a buck.

Everything You Need to Know About Two-Stroke Motorcycle Engines
