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 Movie ‘Ghost Rider’?

You’ve got to hand it to Hollywood. They know how to take a perfectly good motorcycle and turn it into something straight out of a comic book fever dream. In the 2007 film Ghost Rider, based on the Marvel comic, the motorcycle is no ordinary machine. It’s a fiery, chain-wrapped steed of vengeance, a character in its own right, and a rolling symbol of badassery on two wheels. But the burning question (pun intended) for gearheads is simple: What motorcycle was used to transform Johnny Blaze, played by Nicolas Cage, into the Hell-bound Ghost Rider?

California Signs Motorcycle Competition Permit Law for Sanctioned Events

Well, California’s gone and done it. After years of confusion, frustration, and dust-ups over off-highway competition vehicles, they’ve signed Senate Bill 708 into law. Governor Gavin Newsom put his pen to paper on September 22, ushering in a fresh permit program to replace the now-defunct Red Sticker Program, which was cut in 2021 by the California Air Resources Board.

The New KTM Automatic Transmission Is Different

KTM’s new Automated Manual Transmission or AMT (the KTM automatic transmission) system is a game-changer, marrying the thrill of manual control with the ease of automatic shifting. They’ve taken a page from Honda, BMW, and Yamaha but gone a different route, opting for a centrifugal clutch rather than relying on an actuator and ECU combo.

What Motorcycle Is in Mission Impossible 2?

The movie “Mission Impossible 2” (2000) is a sleek, high-octane thrill ride where Ethan Hunt, portrayed by Tom Cruise, barrels through the screen with the ferocity of a daredevil. The star of the show, though, isn’t just Cruise or the flashy explosions—it’s the iconic motorcycle that delivers one of the most memorable chase scenes in action movie history.

Well, folks, it looks like Triumph’s gone and polished up its darling for 2025. The Trident 660, already a fan favorite since its 2021 debut, rolls into the new year with some key updates—nothing drastic, but enough to make you think twice before settling for anything less.

The Honda Forza 750 Maxi Scooter Gets Updates in the UK for 2025

Honda’s new 2025 Forza 750 rolls into view with a fresh coat of paint and a technical overhaul. Still running on that trusty 745cc parallel twin, borrowed from the X-ADV, it cranks out 57.8 horses and a torque-heavy 50.9lb.ft. But for those looking to stay within A2 license limits, it can be trimmed down to 47bhp. Honda’s slick DCT gearbox is back, offering semi-auto shifts without the hassle.

The New Ducati Scrambler Models for 2025: Icon Dark and Full Throttle

Ducati’s latest spin on the Scrambler line isn’t about reinvention—it’s about distillation. The Icon Dark, wrapped in a stealthy black, is for purists who like their ride stripped down to the essentials. Meanwhile, the Full Throttle storms onto the scene with a black-and-bronze getup that screams street-tracker swagger.

What Motorcycle Is in ‘The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo’?

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo is a dark, brooding thriller that’s as cold as a Scandinavian winter and sharp as the bite of an arctic wind. It’s a story that punches hard with its characters, especially Lisbeth Salander, the enigmatic hacker with a troubled past and a thirst for justice. But we’re not here to dissect the plot, no sir. We’re here for one thing, and one thing only: the motorcycle.

Kott Motorcycles Custom Turbocharged Honda CB750

You can almost smell the gasoline and hear the turbo spool up as Dustin Kott’s latest creation roars to life.
