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.

What Motorcycles Are in ‘Tron: Legacy’?

When you think of Tron: Legacy, your mind likely conjures images of neon-drenched landscapes and the sleek, glowing machines that zip through its digital world. The motorcycle in the movie is, of course, the Light Cycle, a two-wheeled icon that’s as much a part of the film’s aesthetic as the dazzling visuals themselves.

But beyond the digital realm, there’s another bike in the movie, one that grounds the story in the real world—a Ducati Sport 1000 Biposto. Together, these two motorcycles create a blend of cinematic fantasy and real-world cool that would make any motorhead sit up straight.

5 Best 900cc Motorcycles You Can Buy

You have plenty of options when it comes to your next motorcycle, but if you want a really nice amount of power then 900cc might be the way to go. But you need to make sure you buy one of the best 900cc motorcycles.

Royal Enfield New EV Motorcycle Will Bow Nov 4

Well, it looks like Royal Enfield is up to something again—and this time, they’re aiming for the stars. Literally. Their latest teaser on Instagram kicks off in outer space, with meteors drifting lazily by like it’s no big deal. But what really grabs your attention is the parachute, quietly making its way back to Earth. As the camera pans in, there’s a glimpse of what looks like a fuel tank. Only, this time, you might be looking at something a little different—an EV.

What Motorcycle Is in ‘Robocop’ (2014)?

In the 2014 reboot of Robocop, our cybernetic hero, Alex Murphy, doesn’t just rely on his titanium-reinforced armor and signature pistol; he also rides a mean-looking motorcycle. Now, this isn’t your average Sunday cruiser. No, this bike is a prop of cinematic machinery—a ride that screams “future cop” with all the blacked-out, tech-laden style you’d expect from a world where law enforcement officers come clad in full body armor. But for all the futuristic bells and whistles, if you peel back the layers, the bike underneath the movie magic is a real, off-the-shelf machine.

You’ll Soon See Electric Motorcycles at the FIM SuperEnduro World Championship

The 2023/24 FIM SuperEnduro World Championship threw the racing world into chaos, thanks to a last-minute rule change aimed at blocking Stark Future’s electric Varg from competing. The uproar was swift, and the FIM came out looking like the villain.

Fast forward to the upcoming season, and things have taken a sharp turn. This time, the FIM has done a 180, announcing that electric motorcycles will be allowed to compete—but only in the prestigious Prestige class.

KTM’s New TFT Displays Provide a Better Experience for Motorcyclists

KTM’s new TFT displays mark a leap in motorcycle tech, bringing riders closer to their machines than ever before. With two new displays—an 8-inch vertical and 8.8-inch horizontal touchscreen—KTM isn’t just slapping on fancy screens; they’re revolutionizing how riders interact with their bikes.

What Motorcycle Is in ‘Dredd’?

Ah, Dredd—that gritty, dust-choked reboot of the comic anti-hero Judge Dredd that blasted into theaters in 2012. Gone was the camp of the Stallone version, and in its place came a hard-edged Karl Urban, keeping his helmet firmly on his head while dishing out justice in a lawless wasteland. But as much as Urban’s stoic portrayal anchored the film, there was something else that stuck with motorcycle fans: the sleek, brutal, and seemingly untamable beast of a machine Judge Dredd rode through the chaos of Mega-City One.

Check Out the New 2025 Triumph Speed Twin 900

The Brits have gone and done it again, unveiling the 2025 Triumph Speed Twin 900, hot on the heels of the reveal of the Speed Twin 1200, with that unmistakable British flair. It’s as if they’ve taken something already handsome and, with just the right amount of tweaking, made it even better looking without losing the heritage charm. A tough balance, but Triumph’s knack for design shines through.

Energica Declared Bankruptcy, Will Liquidate

Well, folks, it’s official—Energica is shutting down for good. One of the pioneers in electric motorcycles just couldn’t find a way out. In a press release yesterday, they confirmed what many had feared: after failing to secure new investors or revenue streams, the company will enter bankruptcy and fully liquidate its assets. No second chances, no Cake-like resurrection.

5 Best 800cc to 850cc Motorcycles You Can Buy

Not long ago I called 650cc motorcycles some of the best out there that you can buy. I stand by that, but if you feel you need a little more oomph at the twist of a wrist and a slightly larger engine size, I’d suggest going with a motorcycle between 800cc to 850cc.

This is another sweet spot in the motorcycle industry. There’s plenty of power, the bikes are still relatively lightweight, and you can find them for good prices, especially on the used market.

With all that said. Here are my to picks for 800cc to 850cc motorcycles.
