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 Harley-Davidson Duo-Glide: A Revolution on Two Wheels

The year was 1958. Rock ‘n’ roll was taking over the airwaves, tailfins were sprouting up on Detroit’s finest, and Elvis Presley was swiveling hips across American living rooms. Meanwhile, at the Harley-Davidson factory in Milwaukee, a quiet revolution was happening.

It wasn’t a new motor or a drastic redesign that set enthusiasts buzzing. It was something far more practical and comfort-driven: the Harley-Davidson Duo-Glide. And it forever changed the way we think about touring motorcycles.

LiveWire and KYMCO Team Up on Maxi-Scooters

LiveWire and KYMCO have two good-looking maxi-scooters. Yes, you read that right. LiveWire, Harley-Davidson’s electric offspring, is teaming up with Taiwan’s KYMCO to deliver an electric maxi-scooter to Europe by 2026, powered by LiveWire’s S2 Arrow platform.

This collaboration deepens their partnership from 2022, when KYMCO first invested in LiveWire, aiming to shape the future of electric mobility in the shape of scooters.

What Motorcycles Are In the John Wick Movies?

Few movies embody a sleek, adrenaline-filled blend of action and style quite like the John Wick series.

From precise gunplay to impeccably choreographed martial arts, these films elevate action to an art form, and every detail contributes to this effect—including the motorcycles. If cars are often cinematic co-stars, motorcycles are the two-wheeled sidekicks that propel our favorite anti-hero through relentless pursuit and narrow escapes.

BMW Motorrad’s Concept F 450 GS is a compact dynamo tailored for A2 riders, poised to bridge the gap between the G 310 and the F 800/900 series.

How Many Miles Is a Lot for a Motorcycle?

There are some questions every motorcycle enthusiast ponders at least once, standing in front of a bike with the potential of a thousand stories. One of the most pressing and universal queries is, “How many miles is too many?” It’s a loaded question, almost a rite of passage into the world of motorcycling.

The answer, however, is layered and depends on the type of bike, how well it’s been maintained, and, perhaps most importantly, what kind of road lies ahead for the rider and the machine. Let’s peel back the layers.

Check Out the 2025 Aprilia Tuono 457

Aprilia’s just unveiled the 2025 Tuono 457, a fresh take on the streetfighter sportbike formula with a lean, purposeful design that feels worlds apart from its previous, often angular, predecessors.

What Motorcycles Are in the Movie ‘Knightriders’?

In the world of cult cinema, George A. Romero’s Knightriders stands out as a true oddity—a gritty blend of medieval chivalry and roaring motorcycles. This 1981 film, often overshadowed by Romero’s more famous work in horror, is a tale of loyalty, rebellion, and jousting knights mounted not on horses but on motorcycles.

The motorcycles here aren’t just props—they’re central to the story, symbols of a fiercely individualistic, renegade lifestyle. Two standout bikes in the film are the Honda XR250 and the mighty Honda CBX 1050, a six-cylinder marvel. Each one plays a unique role in creating the film’s distinct mix of fantasy and raw power.
