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.
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.
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 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.
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.
BMW’s new R 12 S is a nostalgic nod to the iconic R 90 S of 1973, blending retro aesthetics with modern engineering.
Arriving in Q1 2025 with a price tag of $21,590, the R 12 S shares its foundation with the R 12 nineT but stands out with its heritage-inspired design and fairing. It’s a truly beautiful motorcycle and a good addition to BMW’s lineup.

Packed with practicality and Honda’s hallmark reliability, the NT1100 Police aims to excel in urban maneuverability and long-distance performance. I just wish they offered a non-police variant in the States.

Imagine a product costing $20 to import and selling for $30. Now slap a 50% tariff on it. The cost to import balloons to $30, forcing the retail price to $40 to keep profits alive.
That added cost? It doesn’t come out of the exporting country’s pocket—it lands squarely on the consumer. The idea is to nudge companies into sourcing domestically, but when domestic costs match or exceed those imports, the price hike stays.

While KTM’s brass insists the team will field all four bikes next season, doubts linger at MotoGP promoter Dorna’s headquarters.

This nimble machine punches above its weight with 42 horsepower and an earth-twisting 660Nm of torque, all packed into a feather-light sub-100kg frame.
It’s electric, whisper-quiet, and brimming with American ingenuity, offering a riding experience that’s as intuitive as it is exhilarating.

Floating discs replace foot traffic, autonomous vehicles glide algorithmically, and society is sharply divided—tagged vs. tagless. Yamaha, naturally, supplies the metal stars: an R1, a VMax, and the show-stealing Y/AI concept, debuting just before its real-world Bangkok Motor Expo bow.

Here, we look at the five biggest scooters worth your attention—machines that bridge the gap between traditional scooters and motorcycles, all while keeping their practicality intact.
