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.

Zeitz Retains Harley-Davidson CEO Position for Now

In a boardroom showdown that could’ve rivaled a barroom brawl, Harley-Davidson’s top brass managed to keep their seats—if only by the skin of their teeth.

The annual shareholders meeting saw activist investor H Partners, wielding a hefty 9.1% stake, aiming to oust CEO Jochen Zeitz and board members Thomas Linebarger and Sara Levinson. Their gripe? A cocktail of declining sales, a 31% stock slump, and a culture they claimed was losing its roar.

10 Reasons Why Tapoco Lodge Should Be Your Tail of the Dragon HQ

The Tail of the Dragon at Deals Gap boasts a reputation as the road to ride or drive for motoring enthusiasts. Recently, I had a chance to visit America’s number one motorcycling and sports car road. And I stayed at the historic Tapoco Lodge in Robbinsville, North Carolina.

This lodge is a mere few minutes from Deals Gap and the start of the Tail of the Dragon, and if I were to visit the area again (I sincerely hope I will get to sometime soon), I would stay here again.

Road Trip: The Tail of the Dragon and Then Some on My Honda Rebel 300

It’s not often that you get a chance as a married man with kids to disappear for three days. Let alone disappear and do nothing but ride your motorcycle around one of the most coveted recreational areas in the country.

I had this unique opportunity last week, and let me tell you, if you get the chance, take it. I rode from Indianapolis, Indiana, down to the historic Tapoco Lodge in Robbinsville, North Carolina—hitting the Tail of the Dragon and other beautiful roads along the way—and I loved every minute of it.

Small Bikes, Big Fun: Why the Tail of the Dragon Belongs to the Lightweights

They call it the Tail of the Dragon—eleven miles of relentless, coiled pavement twisting through the Smoky Mountains, with 318 curves so tight they could snap your concentration in half. It’s a place where dreams go to lean, scrape, and occasionally low-side into the trees. The speed limit is 30, the shoulders are nonexistent, and the margin for error is about the width of your front tire.

And I’m here to tell you: leave the big bikes at home. The Dragon belongs to the little guys.

MB Design Concept’s Custom Triumph Bonneville T100 Cafe Racer

Marc Benoist’s 2014 Triumph Bonneville T100 cafe racer transformation is a masterclass in blending vintage aesthetics with modern performance. Drawing inspiration from the race bikes of the 1960s and ’70s, Marc envisioned a fully faired design that paid homage to Triumph’s British heritage.

After meticulous planning, he selected GRP fiberglass bodywork from Motoforza in the Czech Republic, which, when mounted with custom hardware, gave the Bonneville a classic racer silhouette.
