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.
- Cafe Racer
- Scrambler
- Bobber
- Sportbikes
- Electric Motorcycles
- Minibikes
- Cruisers
- Adventure Bikes
- Moped
- Scooter
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.

In the 1974 cult classic Stone, a quintessential Australian biker movie directed by Sandy Harbutt, the film immerses viewers in the raw and gritty world of outlaw motorcycle gangs against a backdrop of political tension, environmentalism, and vengeance.
Set in the early 1970s, the film has gained legendary status in motorcycling and cinematic circles alike for its no-holds-barred portrayal of motorcycle culture in Australia.

If there’s one thing a film featuring Johnny Depp has, it’s style—usually a worn-out, rebellious kind. And The Rum Diary is no exception. Based on the novel by Hunter S. Thompson, this 2011 movie is set in Puerto Rico during the 1960s and follows the boozy misadventures of Paul Kemp, a jaded journalist looking to escape the monotony of life.
And, of course, a film like this wouldn’t be complete without some memorable rides, both on and off four wheels. But for us motorcycle buffs, there’s a certain two-wheeled machine that stands out amid the dusty streets and tropical backdrop.
