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.

Vance & Hines Creates an Exhaust for the Harley-Davidson Pan America That Doesn’t Look Ugly

Vance & Hines recently released a new exhaust system for the new Harley-Davidson Pan America adventure motorcycle called the Adventure Hi-Output 450.

Typically, I’m not one to bash stock exhausts, but dang it if Harley doesn’t make uggo of a stock exhaust for the Pan America. So, the news of Vance & Hines stepping in to put this misery away is very good news.

This slip-on exhaust not only gives Pan America riders a way to get rid of an eyesore, but it also puts Vance & Hines into the adventure motorcycle segment for the first time.

This is a worldwide bike that will be sold starting in October 2021, so if you like what you see here, you’d better get ready for your new bike.

Feast Your Eyes on the MV Agusta F3 RR

MV Agusta says the F3 RR presents muscle at any angle. I have to agree. This is one handsome motorcycle.

The F3 RR features plenty of attractive stats and specs, but it’s the way the bike looks that will make this thing a winner. It’s beautiful.

Its chiseled design complete with carbon fiber trim and a roughly diamond-shaped headlight will haunt my dreams. But there’s plenty more to love about this bike than just its looks.

The 25th Jame Bond movie has been delayed but now it’s coming out, and Triumph has a Limited Edition Triumph Tiger 900 Bond Edition.

Kawasaki Is Working on a Hybrid Motorcycle With an Electric Supercharger

Kawasaki and supercharged bikes are nothing new, and rumors of a hybrid motorcycle have been swirling for a while, but now it seems Kawasaki will marry the two.

The company trademarked “E-BOOST” for various uses including hybrid and electric motorcycles. Now, electric bikes wouldn’t need a supercharger, but a hybrid bike could utilize an electric supercharger.

The world is getting weirder, and Kawasaki is on the cutting edge. I love the idea of a hybrid bike with a supercharger.

Your First Look at the MV Agusta Brutale 1000 RS

State of New York Bans Sale of Internal Combustion Powered Vehicles After 2035

New York’s governor Kathy Hochul announced the signing of some new legislation that would ban the sale of vehicles that use internal combustion engines from 2035 on.

The electrified future is upon us whether you like it or not. Even if consumers don’t want it, state legislations do.

This bill signed would impact all cars, trucks, off-road vehicles, and equipment. Motorcycles and scooters are not specifically called out but it stands to reason they would be included.

The Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RR Is Here to Rock Your World

If you’re looking for a motorcycle that blends elegance, performance, and attitude into one machine, then Triumph wants you to buy the Speed Triple 1200 RR.

I can’t lie, Triumph’s description on its website of the machine seems to be darn accurate. It’s a sleek high-performance machine that’s distinctly Triumph while still providing something new.

The bike is a modern cafe racer with a single round headlight a small fairing and dastardly good looks. I wanted one as soon as I laid eyes on it.
