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.Â
What Motorcycles Are in the Movie ‘Knightriders’?
In the world of cult cinema, George A. Romero’s Knightriders stands out as a true oddity—a gritty blend of medieval chivalry and roaring motorcycles. This 1981 film, often overshadowed by Romero’s more famous work in horror, is a tale of loyalty, rebellion, and jousting knights mounted not on horses but on motorcycles.

Two standout bikes in the film are the Honda XR250 and the mighty Honda CBX 1050, a six-cylinder marvel. Each one plays a unique role in creating the film’s distinct mix of fantasy and raw power.

In 1979, Mad Max hit the screen with the roar of souped-up engines and the desolation of a crumbling society, creating a dystopian vision that hasn’t left our minds since.

Among the standout machines were the motorcycles — fast, raw, and oozing menace.
