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 Motorcycle Is in ‘The Darjeeling Limited’?

Ah, The Darjeeling Limited—Wes Anderson’s oddball cinematic postcard from India. A film filled with surreal symmetry, quirky characters, and Anderson’s trademark sense of melancholy wrapped in deadpan humor. You might remember the Whitman brothers—Francis, Peter, and Jack—embarking on their spiritual journey across the Indian landscape via a vibrant train. But in between the contemplative glances and awkward familial moments, one curious piece of machinery appears—a modest motorcycle that, while understated, steals a little bit of the spotlight. And no, it’s not a flashy Ducati or a roaring Harley. Instead, it’s a simple, hardworking Honda Hero 100cc.

What Motorcycles Are Best for Winter?

Winter motorcycling is not for the faint of heart. The cold air cuts sharper, and the road’s unpredictability becomes even more pronounced.
