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.

The Honda Forza 750 Maxi Scooter Gets Updates in the UK for 2025

Honda’s new 2025 Forza 750 rolls into view with a fresh coat of paint and a technical overhaul. Still running on that trusty 745cc parallel twin, borrowed from the X-ADV, it cranks out 57.8 horses and a torque-heavy 50.9lb.ft. But for those looking to stay within A2 license limits, it can be trimmed down to 47bhp. Honda’s slick DCT gearbox is back, offering semi-auto shifts without the hassle.

The New Ducati Scrambler Models for 2025: Icon Dark and Full Throttle

Ducati’s latest spin on the Scrambler line isn’t about reinvention—it’s about distillation. The Icon Dark, wrapped in a stealthy black, is for purists who like their ride stripped down to the essentials. Meanwhile, the Full Throttle storms onto the scene with a black-and-bronze getup that screams street-tracker swagger.

What Motorcycle Is in ‘The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo’?

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo is a dark, brooding thriller that’s as cold as a Scandinavian winter and sharp as the bite of an arctic wind. It’s a story that punches hard with its characters, especially Lisbeth Salander, the enigmatic hacker with a troubled past and a thirst for justice. But we’re not here to dissect the plot, no sir. We’re here for one thing, and one thing only: the motorcycle.

Kott Motorcycles Custom Turbocharged Honda CB750

You can almost smell the gasoline and hear the turbo spool up as Dustin Kott’s latest creation roars to life.

Check Out This BSA A10 Super Rocket

Flat track racing. If America had one contribution to motorsport that screams its soul, it’s the glorious ballet of sliding sideways on dirt ovals. Names like Kenny Roberts, Wayne Rainey, and Dick Mann made their names in this gritty arena. Mann, for instance, even took a British BSA to the top, winning the ’63 Grand National. And that’s where Jeff Duval, historian and bike builder at Jets Forever, enters the scene with his beautifully restored BSA A10 Super Rocket, nicknamed ‘Anaheim.’

The Sidecar Guys Are Set to Ride Over 100 Miles in Reverse

Well, buckle up and prepare to shift into reverse – literally. Matt Bishop and Reece Gilkes, better known as The Sidecar Guys, are at it again with another wild idea to break a Guinness World Record. These three-wheeled daredevils have already circled the globe via scooter and sidecar, but now they’ve set their sights on something even crazier: driving the longest distance in reverse on a motorcycle with a sidecar.

Roughchild Custom BMW R90

A Malibu owner with a 911 Turbo wanted a matching BMW R90 for his weekend canyon jaunts, and naturally, he called Robert. The result? A 1974 custom BMW R90 brought back from the brink—restored, refined, and ready to ride. It is absolutely beautiful.

What Motorcycles Are In the ‘Top Gun’ Movies?

In the roaring skies of Top Gun, we all know Maverick’s jet—a sleek F-14 Tomcat, roaring with afterburners and leaving contrails of adrenaline. But when it comes to the ground, there’s another machine just as iconic.

Enter the motorcycle. It’s as much a part of Maverick’s character as his aviator shades and leather jacket, and it steals the scene whenever it makes an appearance. The question on everyone’s mind is: what motorcycle is in Top Gun?

Parr Motorcycles Custom Suzuki DR-Z400

Spencer Parr’s journey with the DRZ Scorpion 434 is nothing short of a full-throttle success story.

Fast forward to 2024, and Parr Motorcycles is now a big name in custom bike building.
