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.

BLM Will Close Access to Trails for Off-Roaders, Furthering the March to Mess Up Public Land

Public lands—something we all cherish, right? Well, apparently not by everyone. If you’ve been paying attention to the news much, you’d know it’s more complicated than a Sunday drive. Utah’s legislature has been in a tug-of-war with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) over 14 million acres. They’ve been itching to privatize it under the guise of “states’ rights,” and now the BLM has handed them a golden opportunity with its Bears Ears National Monument management plan.

Europe’s Honda NT1100 Gets Updates for 2025

Honda’s latest NT1100 sport-tourer, a beloved gem across Europe, has been spruced up for 2025. The kicker? It’s still not coming to North America. Launched in 2022, the NT1100 has sold over 12,000 units in Europe and claimed the title of top sport-touring bike for 2023. Yet, Honda keeps its stateside fans wanting.

What Motorcycle Is in Terminator 2: Judgement Day?

Ah, Terminator 2: Judgment Day—James Cameron’s magnum opus of chrome, leather, and firepower. But amidst the time-traveling cyborgs and sky-splitting action scenes, there’s a machine that steals the spotlight, just for a moment. You know the one: that steel beast Arnold Schwarzenegger’s T-800 rides through the streets of Los Angeles like it was forged for the sole purpose of chasing destiny. The motorcycle, ladies and gentlemen, is none other than the Harley-Davidson Fat Boy—and what a choice it was.

The Suzuki GSX-8R Gets New Colors for 2025

There’s something about the middleweight segment of motorcycles that hits just right. It’s a sweet spot where power meets agility, and the latest crop of 650cc to 900cc bikes is proving that point over and over again. One standout in this crowd? Suzuki’s GSX-8R, a sportbike that shares its DNA with the GSX-8S and V-Strom 800. This machine is Suzuki’s way of saying, “Yeah, we still got it,” while adding fuel to the fire of an already thriving middleweight sportbike class, now dominated by parallel-twin engines.

Book Review – Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert Pirsig

Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert M. Pirsig is not the kind of book you expect to find on a list of must-reads for motorheads. It’s not filled with the crackling excitement of tearing down a winding road on a vintage Triumph, nor does it offer tips on fine-tuning the carburetor on your ‘57 Chevy. No, Pirsig’s masterpiece is an entirely different beast. It’s part memoir, part philosophical treatise, and part motorcycle manual, wrapped in the serene hum of an engine at idle. And yet, for anyone who’s ever felt the pull of the open road, this book is essential reading.

Check Out the Triumph TF 450-RC

Well, it was teased, and now it’s here. Enter the Triumph TF 450-RC, their latest 450cc motocrosser, named after the GOAT himself, Ricky Carmichael. This isn’t just a sticker-and-name collaboration either—Carmichael was in the trenches, helping design this machine to rip through tracks. Coming to a dealership near you in February, this beauty will set you back $10,995.

Check Out the New 2025 GasGas EC 300 GP

GasGas, known for its racing prowess, is bringing a real gem to the dirt with the 2025 EC 300 GP, their first special-edition enduro. And this bike isn’t just another off-roader—it’s a tribute to every GasGas champion who’s ever snagged an enduro world title. Wrapped in a bold, 90s-inspired livery that echoes Paul Edmondson’s 1994 championship-winning machine, this thing is sharp, sleek, and ready to stir up some serious nostalgia.

The U.S. Government’s Proposed Ban Could Kick CFMoto and Kove Out of the United States

Well, here we go again. In the ongoing game of geopolitical chess, the U.S. has turned its gaze toward the world of motorcycles, with a new set of proposed rules that could see certain foreign brands like CFMoto and Kove banned by 2027. And it’s all thanks to that magic word: “connected.”

The DesertX Rally Takes On the NORRA Mexican 1000 Rally

In the blistering heat of the Mexican desert, where the horizon shimmers and the sand never seems to end, the Ducati DesertX Rally found itself in its natural element—the 2024 NORRA Mexican 1000 Rally.

What Motorcycle is in ‘The World’s Fastest Indian’?

The question has a ring of mystery to it, doesn’t it? “What motorcycle is in The World’s Fastest Indian?” Well, for those who haven’t seen the movie or lived under a rock for the last few decades, The World’s Fastest Indian is a film about one man, his machine, and an impossible dream that wasn’t so impossible after all. But this isn’t some glossy, computer-generated story of a souped-up, futuristic bike. No, this is about something gritty, real, and borderline ridiculous — the 1920 Indian Scout.
