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.

Harley-Davidson and MotoGP Announce Exciting New Collaboration: What It Means for Racing Fans

In a twist of high-octane intrigue just days after the 2024 MotoGP finale in Barcelona, Harley-Davidson and MotoGP promoter Dorna announced a collaboration that has everyone guessing.

What exactly will it be? King of the Baggers racing rumbling onto the MotoGP stage, perhaps? For now, it’s all speculation. Dorna chief Carmelo Ezpeleta lauded Harley’s iconic status, particularly in the U.S., a critical market for both entities.

Check Out This Custom BMW R12 by MOONEYES

When BMW wanted their R12 transformed into a custom cruiser that embodied Japan’s bold custom scene, they turned to the legendary MOONEYES (among other amazing builders), who know a thing or two about speed and style.

The vision? Channeling the ‘sense of speed’ from MOONEYES’ classic racers, and nothing says “speed” like their iconic moon disc wheel covers. But those covers required a precise fit—new rims and custom curvature to clear the brakes.

Check Out the 2025 Triumph TF 250-X

The 2025 Triumph TF 250-X dirt bike lands with all the swagger expected of a serious motocross contender. Updated fuel maps and new graphics bring even more bite to its already fierce bark.

This lightweight dirt demon, boasting a class-best power-to-weight ratio, turns heads and drops jaws, reaffirming Triumph’s reputation on dirt tracks.

Check Out This Custom Yamaha RD400 by RSD

The crackle and scent of a two-stroke engine—the smoke curling from the exhaust, the unmistakable melody of a bygone era—remains a cherished memory for many.

Outside the dirt bike world, those rings of smoke have largely drifted away, leaving only the truly devoted to keep the ring-a-ding chorus alive. For one Yamaha RD400 owner, the bond was more than just mechanical; it was familial.

Check Out the 2025 Royal Enfield Classic 650

Just when you thought the Royal Enfield 650 twin platform had explored every motorcycle niche, they dropped the 2025 Royal Enfield Classic 650.

Check Out the 2025 Moto Morini 3½

Moto Morini is reviving one of its icons with the all-new 3½, just in time for its 50th birthday.

The original Moto Morini 3½, launched in 1974, was Moto Morini’s first V-Twin and a game-changer in the 350cc market. Designed by Franco Lambertini, it roared past its thumper competition with a 344cc 72° V-Twin featuring flat Heron heads, making it one of the era’s most potent four-strokes, offered in Sport and Strada variants.

What Motorcycles Are in the Movie ‘Werewolves on Wheels’?

Released in 1971, Werewolves on Wheels is a cult classic that meshes biker culture with horror film tropes in a way that only the ‘70s could pull off.

The movie, directed by Michel Levesque, follows a gang of motorcycle-riding outlaws who stumble upon a satanic cult and find themselves cursed to transform into werewolves. But aside from the lupine horror, what truly steals the spotlight in this film are the motorcycles roaring through the desert. Let’s take a closer look at the bikes featured in this unusual, genre-bending ride.

Book Review – ‘The Art of the Vintage Motorcycle’ by Serge Bueno and Gilles Lhote

In The Art of the Vintage Motorcycle, Serge Bueno and Gilles Lhote dive deep into the stories and craftsmanship that elevated motorcycles from mere machines to cherished works of art. If there’s a book out there that captures the raw romance and untamed spirit of these two-wheeled legends, this one’s it.

Check Out the 2025 Bimota KB998 Rimini

Bimota has pulled back the silk on its KB998 Rimini—a snarling race-bred creation distilled just enough to slip through the tight hoops of FIM homologation. “Production” feels almost too generous a term.

Bimota plans a mere 125 units by February 2025, another 125 by year’s end, with a final push to 500 by the close of 2026. Call it a tightrope act, but if they hit the mark, this Italian beast, which was briefly shown before, will grace the World Superbike grid.
