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.

Zack Courts Reviews the 2024 BMW R 12 nineT

There’s something about a motorcycle that nods to its roots while boldly planting itself in the present. Enter the 2024 BMW R 12 nineT, a machine that’s as much about riding as it is about storytelling.

Zack Courts, a well-known moto-journalist and all-around nice guy who works for Revzilla these days, recently got in the saddle of the BMW R 12 nineT and took it for a spin. It seems like a truly well-crafted machine, and one you should consider.

Check Out This Custom Triumph Tiger TR6R by Defined Motorcycles

In the golden age of motorcycles—the late ’60s and early ’70s—British bikes like the Triumph Tiger TR6R were icons of a bygone era, while the Honda CB750 signaled the future.

Michael Scott of Australia’s Defined Motorcycles saw the timeless potential in a battered 1970 Tiger TR6R, a project he affectionately named Evelyn. Over ten years, Michael transformed a non-running “basket-case” into an exquisite bobber that marries heritage and artistry.

Check Out the Ducati Diavel V4 Black Roadster

Ducati’s Diavel has always been a bit of a rebel within the brand’s stable, and now, the new Ducati Diavel V4 Black Roadster livery takes that renegade attitude to stealth-mode levels of cool.

This power cruiser—if you can even neatly classify it—straddles categories with a 168-horsepower V4 engine, laid-back ergonomics, and a boatload of MotoGP-inspired tech. It’s a cruiser with more power than it has any business flaunting, a bike that doesn’t so much fit into molds as it shatters them.

The Honda GB500 Is Coming to US

Honda’s GB badge, a nod to classic motorcycling nostalgia, is making a comeback. First revived in Europe with the 2025 GB350S—a straightforward, air-cooled single aimed at Royal Enfield’s territory—it seems the GB500 is set to return stateside.

Honda filed trademark paperwork in US and New Zealand, signaling that this bike will come to both of those markets. This killer retro roadster could hit a highway near you soon.

Could ‘Plug and Charge’ Be the Answer for Electric Motorcycles?

Ah, the promise of electric motorcycles: silent, clean, and oh-so-modern. But behind the glossy marketing lies a dirty little secret—the charging experience.

For anyone who’s wrestled with apps, accounts, and QR codes just to juice up their eco-appliance, you’ll know what I mean. Charging can be a pain. But now, there may be a good solution.

Harley Lost an EU Court Battle About Tariffs

Harley-Davidson, once the undisputed king of American motorcycles, finds itself in a tightening vise of plummeting sales, aging riders, irate dealerships, and PR headaches from the internet’s “woke wars.”

Now, add another bruise to the Motor Company’s already battered image: a legal defeat in the European Union’s Court of Justice over some tariffs. The fact that Harley lost an EU court battle doesn’t bode well for its future, especially with the new administration so hell-bent on using tariffs.
